We are Fighter's, we are Warrior's
Chapter Four
March 10, 2022
I wanted revenge. Revenge was something I wanted, and needed. I knew it wasn't going to mend my heart and bring Wells back. So the best thing I could do was keep myself busy at the makeshift clinic. It was all I did. Yes, I had people check on me, but all I wanted was to be alone. This was exactly how it was when my father passed away. I grieved on my own, because I always felt alone.
The Mountain Men needed to be stopped. What they are doing to this tribe, to the men and women. This needed to end once and for all. I sighed as I organized the medicine we somewhat have.
"I think you organized that shelf three times already." A deep voice said, while I jumped startled. I quickly turned around and saw shaggy curly hair, and freckles. I was surprised that it was him, we never really ever talked. He seemed to be closed off with the tribe. I just shrugged my shoulders, not sure how to answer his statement. I walked away from the medicine shelf, and fixed the blankets on the makeshift medical beds.
I sighed, "He was my best friend. And these assholes are destroying this tribe. I want something to be done. These tracking and seeing what they are doing. It isn't doing anything good for us. We need to end this. They need to be dealt with." I said passionately, looking straight into his eye.
"That's true, but the plans need to take time. We don't have enough war supplies. Spears and arrows aren't going to do much. Sorry Princess, but this isn't a war you are going to win." I slowly shook my head. I couldn't believe what he was saying. We took him and his group in, we gave them food, and a place to sleep.
"I see where your brain is going Princess, I'm not saying my group won't fight with you guys. We need allies. There has to be more tribes that are getting attacked by these guys." He said hurriedly. I studied him seeing if he was lying. All I saw were dark brown eyes staring into mine. I hear shouting and yelling outside. I quickly walked outside and saw some Grounders carrying a women and a man. They had uniforms of the Mountain Men. I saw Anya standing and starring with her cold gaze by her tent. I made my way to her and I heard crunches behind me, I turned my head and saw it was Bellamy.
The grounders brought the two people in the Mountain Men uniform to Anya. She glared steadily at them. I saw the man flinched, but the girl didn't. She stared straight back at Anya. It showed that she was either very brave or plainly stupid.
"Why are you here?" Anya demanded looking at them. Her stance was the most dominate between the three.
"We have news, we are coming for you. Us Mountain Men will come and destroy your tribe and the surrounding ones tomorrow night." Said the girl, and suddenly a head was flying through the air and blood sprayed. The girl's headless body fell to the ground, and you could see the blood ooze of it.
"Take him to the hole, you will release at night. He's going back to the Mountain Men with news. We are going to War!" Anya shouted, while they dragged the man to the hole, in other world the hole that is eleven foot tall, and no one can get out. They usually torture the person too. "Bellamy, Clarke, Abby, and Thelonius meet me in my tent in five minutes!" She shouted. I looked at Bellamy our eyes wide, we are both stunned.
"Why would they warn us? It doesn't make sense?" I told Bellamy. I turned to see Bellamys group rush up to us. Loads of questions were being asked.
"Enough!" Bellamy demanded. "This has to be a trick. We need to get information out of that guy." Everyone nodded in an agreement. They each rushed off to be a distraction. Bellamy started to walk off.
"Bellamy this is my family. We need to protect them." I told him, he stopped and then continued to walk off to Anya's tent. I followed along.
We were gathered in Anya's tent. We were all voicing our opinion.
"Anya, all I'm saying is why are they warning us. It's doesn't make sense, we were attacked a few days ago. We are missing something." I said, rubbing my face. I didn't want to think about a few days ago.
We were quickly interrupted by Murphy, Bellamy's right hand man. "You guys need to hear this." He quickly ran out of the tent as quickly he rushed in. We all looked at each other confused, and followed along.
We see the Mountain Men and Raven with an arrow in her hand. "Tell them." She said shoving the arrow into the guy. He screamed in pain.
"They aren't coming tomorrow they will be here later tonight." The man said. We were surprised by the confession. I quickly turned to Anya.
"We aren't ready to fight, we need to move everyone out of here now." I said to Anya, pleading.
"No we stay and fight." Anya demanded. I stared at Anya.
"Anya, there are kids and elderly people we can't stay, we have to move now." I demanded, this wasn't right, we'd be slaughtered.
"Anya, as much as I like a good fight. But we aren't ready. Clarke is right. We need to move and it needs to be now." Bellamy voicing his opinion. We all stared, waiting for her final decision.
Anya stared and us and then to her people. She looked at me, I could tell she didn't know what to do.
"Anya" I said softly, and walked in front of her. "If we don't go now, your people, our people will be slaughtered. This is your land, and your family was in charge of it. But if we don't leave now, you will not have people to lead, because they will be all dead." I said, voicing the true facts, I felt a hand my shoulder.
"Anya she is right." Bellamy said, coming and stand by me. This was most interaction we've had to day. We both stared at Anya. She bent her head and nodded. Her tribe was standing and watching us, not knowing our next is.
"Grab what you can carry, the elderly and kids leave first. Abby and thelonius will be in charge. The ones who can fight will be surrounding the kids and elderly. We need to move now." Anya demanded, everyone scrambled to get what they needed.
"Anya what are you going to do with the man?" I asked, while everyone was running to gather their stuff. I stared at the bloody man. The Grounders who were holding him, and Raven stared at Anya.
"Let him go." She demand, she stood in front of him. You can see the blood from the wounds Raven inflicted on him. She stared straight into his eyes. "You will tell your people to be ready for what's coming for them. They are starting a war that we will finish." They let him go and he ran off as quickly as he could.
My mother and I rushed to the clinic grabbing the medical supplies and medicine.
"Clarke, grab you stuff and mine. We need to be out of here in thirty minutes." I nodded and rushed to my tent. I grabbed my make shift bag, I stuffed my clothes and my father picture in my backpack, I quickly put his watch on. I stuffed my blanket where my shoulders hold the backpack. I quickly rushed and got my mother stuff and what I thought was important.
Once I reached the group by the fire pit, I saw everyone in the group ready to go. I met up with Raven and Octavia.
"Where's Monroe?" I asked looking at Octavia.
"She is with Charlotte, getting her with the group of kids." Raven said, looking around. Making sure everything was normal.
"Octavia!" a voice shouted. We turned to see it was Bellamy rushing to her. I saw her roll her eyes. "Be careful on this trek we are going to be going through rough terrain. Stay close to Lincoln or a grounder." He said.
"Okay, Bellamy I know. Plus you will be by me." Octavia said, I was confused by the Lincoln comment. I turned to Raven and raised my eyebrow as a question
"Lincoln and Octavia have been hanging out." Raven whispered, I nodded my head now understanding.
Everyone began to head out following my mother and Thelonius. I turned to look at my home that I have known for years. I felt someone next me and saw it was Anya. We looked at each other and then stared at the land. We were both leaving our home. I remembered my dad teaching me how to use bow and arrow. The talks I had with Wells. Memories were shooting into my head. I felt a hand grabing mine, and I saw Anya's face she had unshed tears in her eyes. We squeezed each other's hand, we began to follow everyone else. We were to be the last ones to leave, and it was the most difficult thing.
***Bellamy and Clarke finally talked! Yay! Murphy is alive with the group. I did a little Octavia and Lincoln! Whhaaa? I hope you guys are really liking this story!***
