Inside The Mountain

[Seren]

Seren stared at the heavy metal door that sealed the mountain closed, she'd give anything to be able to get inside, to slaughter every living soul within its walls. Destroy their lives just as they had done hers. She didn't care if this mountain contained 'innocents' in her eyes, none of them were innocent. If what Clarke said was true and the mountain men had been using their blood to heal themselves, then none of them could be innocent, they'd all received the treatment at some time in their lives. They'd bled them like they were nothing more than animals, drained every last drop of blood from their bodies and them disposed of them. They didn't even get to say goodbye, she didn't even get to say goodbye.

Her lips curled back in a snarl at the thought, she imagined Sae's lifeless body lying abandoned within the reaper tunnels, maybe she had looked like her mother when she had passed on from the world, but maybe not... Seren had seen people die, she'd watched the life leave their bodies, sometimes by her own hand and none of them ever looked like they were sleeping. Her mother had been an exception. Death wasn't beautiful, it wasn't peaceful, it was bloody and horrific, terrifying and unjust. No. Sae had not died peacefully, she'd not died the way she should have. She should have died with her sword in her hand, in a battle for her clan... Not unconscious with a needle in her arm, too weak to fight back.

Part of Seren wanted to believe that her lover would still be alive, maybe in the mountain somewhere... Maybe she was waiting for them to come and rescue her, to take her away from the horrors that lay in that mountain. But that was impossible, it had been five years, five long years. Nobody could survive in there, being bled every day for five years. Even if Seren wanted to hold onto the hope of seeing her beloved again, she had to accept that Sae was gone, she'd been gone for a while now and she just hadn't wanted to face up to it.

Suddenly the door began to open, yes, the heavy metal door was beginning to open slowly, nobody knew why the mountain men were opening the door willingly, the last thing that Seren had heard was that the Heda was taking a group to take out the snipers that prevented them from getting near the door. Then she saw her, the Heda was talking to Clarke, a man was with her... He looked like he was from the mountain...

"Look! They're coming out!" a voice called and her gaze snapped towards the door again, figures began to step out from within the mountain, but they were not soldiers, they were wrapped in towels and bandages covered their bodies. They weren't wearing any proper clothing to protect them from the elements... They were prisoners... The people who had been kept in the harvest chamber. Almost immediately people rushed forwards, engulfing the people who'd just emerged and hiding them protectively within the ranks of the army.

As soon as our people were safely back within our ranks I watched in surprise as the Heda unsheathed her dagger and sliced it along the mountain man's throat, blood spurted out from the wound and as his body fell to the ground lifeless the gunfire started...

Larentia

 

 

[Larentia]

"Teik yo ogud na wan op" Prepare to die Larentia yelled as she pushed forward, crowded by Skaikru and Trikru. They all ran as one, fighting as one. She could feel grounders and sky people fall all around her as they pushed towards the door. She wasn't afraid, more like adrenaline filled and covered in anger. Her teeth were bared as they shoved their way through the doors, she could see all the routes to take but stood still as they waited for an order.

Suddenly Lary flies backwards, hitting a wall which only caused more pain. All feelings were replaced with agony as she slid down the wall. A bullet had gone straight through her shoulder into the wall she was now sat up against, a bloody streak on the wall. The wound was a burning pain that just didn't want to go away, like someone had shoved a glowing, red-hot sword through her skin. She felt the back of her head before pulling away and wincing in pain "great" she hissed as she saw the blood on her fingers.

She sat there for at least a minute before grabbing her spear as leverage to help her up. Larentia pressed her hand to the wall as she walked over to her shooter, laying dead in a pool of his own blood. She kicked him once before walking down the hallway after the others, she wasn't dead yet.




(idk? XD)

Seren

[Seren]

The moment that the army began to surge forwards Seren broke into a run, heading straight for the door that was there only way into the mountain. Blood Must Have Blood, the dead had to be avenged. These people had dropped a missile on her village, her village, slaughtering innocents. Tondc had seen too much bloodshed recently and it was time to end it all... And yet she had to obey the Heda's orders, no innocent blood would be spilt within the mountain. They were not like the mountain men, she would allow the innocents to live, but the soldiers... They would pay the price for what they had done to her people.

She almost tripped over a body on her way to the door and noticed that whoever it was, was alive. Helping the figure back to their feet she noticed that it was her younger brother, Gastor. "Stay on your feet!" she growled at the boy, shoving him ahead of herself. This was an example of just how young their warriors could be, he was just a boy, thirteen years old and going to war, probably not for the first time considering his age. Gastor was not a child anymore, he was a warrior and if he hoped to survive he would have to stay on his feet and fight for his survival.

As soon as Seren was inside the mountain she hesitated, this was all so new to her, the sound of gunfire was distracting but it wasn't new to her, not since the sky people had come to earth. It was more the smell and the appearance of this place, it didn't smell like the forest that she had grown up in, it was more like... She couldn't place it, it was completely new to her, it kind of smelt like the forest did after the acid fog had come and gone, but sweeter, cleaner.

Shaking away her distractions she ran after the others, making sure to keep up, she didn't want to get lost in the middle of a battle in a place that didn't feel right. This was the place where thousands of her people had met their ends.

Larentia

Larentia hisses as someone knocks into her injured shoulder "Watch it" she yells at them before tripping them, not caring who they were. God, she hated it sometimes, how her leader and comrades did nothing until the end of the fight. Lary shook her head before looking back at the personshe had tripped. It was Seren's brother "Shit" she whispered as Seren helped him up. Turning back she quickly moved after everyone, trying not to be seen by Seren, she would kill her.

She quickly stopped as screams were heard from up ahead, where they innocent screams? Yes, but they weren't blood curdling screams but instead fearful screams. Lary barged to the front of the crowed of surviving warriors, some bleeding and hurt. She looked into the hall of people that the mountain kept safe, their faces were filled with terror and pain "Shh, it's ok. We are just here for our friends" someone from the Skaikru yelled before a girl with black frizzy hair stepped forward......

As we came to a halt I quickly worked my way to the front of the crowd after I saw Larentia, Gastor had muttered something about her tripping him and I wasn't about to let her get away with that. My plans to teach the woman a lesson however, changed when I caught sight of the mountain people that were cowering away from them. "Look at them, they are brave and threatening when they have their doors to hide them, but they are little more than mice once their defences are down" I spat in trigedasleng. Pathetic. They weren't warriors, they were children that enjoyed playing with their toys.

As soon as the girl stepped forwards I raised my sword to cut her down but a man quickly put his hand on my arm to stop me "the orders were to spare the innocent" his gruff voice growled at me and I returned his glare "None of them are innocent" I retorted, but lowered my weapon anyway, I knew better than to disobey the Commanders orders. "Where are our people?!" I heard a sky person ask, more like demand, yes it wasn't a gentle question, more of a 'tell us where our people are or all of you die'.

The girl muttered something about the Harvest Chamber and I definitely heard the name 'Bellamy' mentioned, wasn't he the guy who had infiltrated the mountain and made all of this possible? I didn't know, this was a recovery mission, we'd recovered our people and now we had to use our army to get the Skaikru out of the mountain, before they were all killed, we were already aware of the fact that some of them were dead already. Jus Drein Jus Daun. Blood must have blood.
