Chapter 48-Breaking out
Mount Weather
Roy, Ontari, and Miller run through the tunnels. They stop and see reapers. They go down another tunnel but are cut off when they are pushed up against a wall. They hear a loud noise which makes the reapers step back. "Get back, get the hell away from them," A guard says as he comes up to them. The reapers move.
"Nathan Miller, Roy LaBryer, you are coming with us," The guard says. Roy looks at Ontari and nods. Miller and Roy move towards the guards and punch them as Ontari runs. As they try to hit the guards again, they grab the two teens. "Enough," He says as they grab their arms and start to lead them away.
Alpha station
Wells walked up to the room his dad was staying in and knocked on the door. "Dad, come on, open the door. It's a beautiful day," Wells says. Wells sighs before he kicks the door. The door flies open, and Wells walks in. He looks at his dad, who was on the floor in his own puke. "Dad!" Wells yells as he goes over to his dad. He puts his ear up to his chest and hears a very faint heartbeat. "Help! Abby! Jackson! Somebody help!" Wells yells. He hears footsteps as Major Byrne runs into the room. "Help me!" Wells yells at her. Major Byrne comes over and grabs Jaha.
"Get help," She tells Wells, who nods as he runs out of the room and outside.
"Abby!" Wells yells. The doctor looks at him as she is talking to Jake. "Help! It's my dad!" Wells yells. Abby and Jake run over to him and follow him into the room. Abby gasps when she sees Jaha.
"Grab him," Abby says. Wells and Jake lift Jaha up and help carry him to medical. The people watch as their once leader was taken into the medical tent. They set him down on the bed. "Jackson, I need an I.V bag now," Abby says. "You two need to give us space," Abby says to Jake and Wells, who nods as they leave. Jackson shuts the tent, and Wells looks at Jake.
"I found him in his own vomit Jake. He almost killed himself," Wells says. Jake nods as he pulls Wells into a hug as the teen starts to sob. Claire was walking towards another guard when a woman walked up to her.
"Excuse me," She says to Claire, who looks at her.
"Do you need help?" Claire asks.
"Are you Claire?" The woman asks.
"Yes, how do you know my name?" Claire asks.
"Roy gave a very good description of you. I'm his mother. I'm Jade," Jade says. Claire looks at her for a moment and holds out her hand.
"Claire kom Trikru," Claire says. Jade shakes her hand.
"Do you know if Easten or Roy made it?" Jade asks.
"No, I think Roy set the rocket off, so I'm pretty sure he did. Easten, I'm not so sure of," Claire says.
"Are you doing anything?" Jade asks. Claire looks at the guards.
"Are you guys going to shoot without telling Major Byrne or me?" Clarie asks the guards, who shake their heads. "I'm free for a little bit," Claire says to Jade.
"Maybe you can tell me about the ground," Jade says.
"I would love to," Claire says. Jade smiles as she follows Claire.
With Anya's group
Murphy, Harper, Callie, Tris, and Charlotte follow Anya as they walk through the woods. "Where are we going?" Callie asks. Anya looks at her.
"Nowhere in particular. But if any of the hundred did get out. They may have run and fell. We are near some cliffs. We are still a little bit away, but maybe one is near there," Anya says. They nod as they continue to walk. Anya motions Tris and Charlotte over to her. The two stop by the older woman. "Do you both have weapons?" Anya asks. The two girls nod as Tris shows Anya her sword and Charlotte shows Charlotte a dagger. "Good, you two are to stay in sight of. Murphy or me. Are we clear?" Anya asks. The two girls nod as Murphy falls in step with Anya.
"I didn't think you trusted me enough to watch your second," Murphy says.
"I don't trust you very much, Murphy. Billy trusts you with his life, and I trust him. So I'm trusting you," Anya says.
"How long have you known the commander?" Harper asks.
"Since she was a kid. Lexa used to be my second before she became commander," Anya says.
"You trained the commander?" Charlotte asks.
"Yes," Anya says. Charlotte smiles. "Lexa wasn't a very easy kid to work with. She has gotten better over the years, and that was most likely because of Titus," Anya says.
"Titus?" Callie asks.
"The flamekeeper," Tris says.
"After Lexa became the commander. Titus taught her more than I did. One of his lessons was love is weakness. She didn't believe it at first, but she did after Costia," Anya says.
"Costia?" Harper asks.
"That is not my story to tell," Anya says.
"Okay, then how did you meet Tris?" Callie asks.
"I would prefer she not tell," Tris says.
"I will anyway," Anya says.
"You didn't tell Lexa's story," Tris says.
"That's because Lexa can have me killed, and you can't. Tris is 12 winters now. She will be thirteen very soon. I am 27 winters. I met Tris when I was 24. She was an orphan. Her parents were killed in battle. I caught her after she took bread from a shop. I paid for the bread and was about to let her go, but I decided to feed her. I liked her energy, and I started to train her. She lives with me, and the rest is history," Anya says with a smile.
"The orphan rescue story," Harper says.
"It took them a while to catch me," Tris says. "They thought a group of kids was stealing the food, and it was just little old me," Tris says with a smirk.
"And she has since paid every one of those merchants back," Anya says.
"Sounds like you have a trouble maker," Callie says.
"I do. I feel she will get worse hanging around all of you," Anya says.
"We aren't that bad," Murphy says.
"Sure," Anya says as they continue to walk.
With Lexa, Clarke, Billy, and Raven
They rode through the woods. Aden had joined them at the last second and was on the back of Lexa's horse. Clarke looks at Lexa. "Do you ever get used to the feeling of riding these things?" Clarke asks. Lexa smirks at Clarke.
"Yes, Clarke. This has been our way of transport since I was born and before that," Lexa says. Clarke nods as she looks at Aden.
"Why did you bring Aden but not the other nightbloods?" Clarke asks.
"Aden is my best nightblood. He has excelled in his training. I thought it was about time he got out of the capital," Lexa says. Clarke nods as they ride forwards. They ride in silence. Raven rides beside Billy and looks at him.
"You okay?" Raven asks. Billy looks at her and smiles.
"Do you think I made the right decision? Deciding to wait and see if anybody gets out of Mount Weather," Billy says to Raven.
"You have to trust your instinct; trust your gut if that is what you think is best. Then do it," Raven says to Billy, who nods as they get close to the shop.
Roan's group
Roan's group goes through the woods at a fast speed with the others behind him. They go down a trail until they stop in front of a big gate. Roan looks up at the two grounders. "Open the gate," Roan says. The guards look at them and then open the gate. Bellamy, Roan, Emma, and Mia ride into TonDc. Bellamy jumps off his horse. "Octavia," Bellamy says. The grounders look at him as Octavia comes out of the medical shack. She looks at her brother.
"Bellamy," Octavia says as she runs up to his sister and hugs him. Bellamy holds his sister tight as Lincoln and Nyko come out of the tent. Emma walks up to Lincoln and hugs him. Lincoln hugs her and smiles.
"It's good to see you all," Lincoln says as Emma lets him go and hugs Nyko.
"You kept her safe. Thank you, both of you," Bellamy says to Nyko and Lincoln.
"We are family, Bellamy. We keep each other safe," Nyko says. Bellamy nods as he holds his arm out to Lincoln, who grasps his forearm. Nyko does the same as Octavia hugs Emma.
"The others?" Octavia asks.
"Atom, Murphy, Harper, Wells, Claire, all of them are okay. Billy, Raven, Clarke, and Charlotte too," Bellamy says.
"Finn was in Polis. Where is he?" Octavia asks.
"Finn's dead. Billy killed him," Mia says.
"Finn was the boy who broke into the capital and killed the guard, correct?" Indra asks. Bellamy nods.
"Who are you?" Bellamy asks.
"Indra kom Trikru. I am the clan leader of Trikru," Indra says.
"Bellamy Blake. This is Emma Gray and Mia," Bellamy says.
"What about Roy, Monty, Jasper, Athena?" Nyko asks.
"The Mountain took some of the hundred," Emma says.
"Then they are dead," Indra says.
"Our people are strong, and the mountain doesn't have a reason to attack them. We hope one of them can get out. We're hoping Roy and Ontari get out," Bellamy says.
"Ontari kom Azgeda is in the mountains?" Indra asks.
"She was my spy and worked with the hundred. She was taken with the rest," Emma says.
"We need to get back to Alpha station," Roan says.
"I am joining you," Indra says.
"Okay, maybe we'll run into Anya or Luna's group," Mia says.
"Luna is out there?" Lincoln asks.
"She came with the commander. Come on, let's get ready," Bellamy says. They nod as they start to gather supplies.
Luna's group
Luna, Kane, Gustus, and Atom walk through the woods, with Gustus leading them. "Where are we going?" Atom asks the large man.
"There are a few prison camps around this area. Maybe some of them took people from the hundred. If they did, we can get them back," Gustus says.
"Why did you take Billy as your second?" Kane asks Luna, who looks at him.
"He has built quite the name for himself. Leaders have called him the bridge between the sky and the ground. He was the first of your people to make peaceful contact with one of my people. He only gained more respect after he killed Finn and held up our people's traditions," Luna says.
"That didn't answer my question," Kane says.
"As the leader of the sky people and his place near the commander and the respect he is earning. He will become a target for warriors and outcasts looking for the honor they think they will get from killing him. Nia by now has to know he is alive and may send somebody to kill him. Besides Lexa, I am the best fighter our people have to offer, and I want him to be protected, and I am the best to do it," Luna explains to Kane.
"Then thank you," Kane says as they continue towards another camp.
Mount Weather
The two guards lead Roy and Miller through the halls. "We saw everything. We know what you are doing to them," Miller says.
"That's why you two are going into the harvest chamber with them," A guard says. He presses a button. "Alpha-Delta two. We reached the intake. Two prisoners are in custody," The guard says.
"Your mission was to bring back all three of them. The outsider cannot be allowed to leave this mountain. Alpha-Delta one is coming out now," The voice says. They hear a scream as Ontari comes down and knocks one of the guards down. Miller hits the other one, and Roy pulls off his mask.
"His mask," Roy tells Ontari. Ontari pulls the mask off, and they start to die from radiation poisoning.
"I found a way out. This way," Ontari says. Miller and Roy grab the two guns off the ground and follow the Azgeda warrior. They hear the door open behind them as they run. They run through the tunnels until they reach a waterfall.
"There has to be another way," Miller says.
"There isn't," Ontari says.
"Just give up, guys. You got no place to go," The guard says. Ontari jumps. Miller and Roy look at her. "We don't have to kill you, guys," The guard says. Roy looks at Miller.
"For the hundred," Roy says.
"Let's find our people," Miller says before they jump. They hear a gunshot as they fall into the water. Ontari grabs them and pulls them to shore. Roy and Miller cough.
"We did it," Roy says to her.
"Now we find the commander and your people," Ontari says.
"Let's get moving. We should head for the dropship first," Miller says as he stands up.
"They had to have left a message," Roy says.
"Let's go then," Ontari says. They stand up and start to head for the dropship.
Thanks for reading. This was a fun chapter to do. I liked the conversations the groups had, and I liked what I did with Jaha. He will become stronger, and this was just a moment of weakness. Next chapter, the groups look for people. Bellamy heads for Alpha station. Billy and his group arrive at the shop, and Ontari, Miller, and Roy make a run for the dropship and their friends while being chased. As always, suggestions, ideas, and feedback are welcomed. Until next time.
