Should Have Run

When Wanheda left with her friends, Niylah was told that she had to run. Clarke had been so vague and had never actually given her an explanation of what was coming for her. Niylah didn't even know how close the Skaikru hoard was so her post until she put out the fires and heard them approaching. With a bag of supplies slung over her shoulder and a blade in her hand she turned around to face the group of Skaikru faces that she had never seen. Raven had been a mess. Hostile, brainwashed... she couldn't imagine what had been done to her. "They are gone," she said loudly as she stood up straighter. "You should go too." She couldn't kill the entire group of Skaikru but she could make a dent if she had to.

She was still tense after everything that had happened... When Raven exposed what Bellamy did to her father; to the army, she lost it. Slowly, Niylah backed towards the stable that held her horse. She should have been quicker. "Leave!" She yelled now as she tried to count the faces. There were too many... all of them unfamiliar, even though she had seen a group of them not long ago with Bellamy. The fact that she couldn't recognize any of them only scared her more. They seemed so blank. "They took the girl and left! You have no business here!" What had they dragged her into? What was this about?

.:Reading:. . . All information available . . . 

Alie related all experiences to that of how a human might experience things. She did not 'feel' things in the same sense, but she likened most of her experiences to the word. After all her body was not physical and carbon based, but silicon. Everything she was, was built from the ground up by humans, who were limited by their biased perspectives. And therefore she was in someway limited to their vocabulary and human-rooted perspectives.

The blonde female, born on Earth to the human group Grounders, was curious to her. Usually the humans from space were her priority to welcome to the City of Light. They after all were nurtured on technology. But there were the select few born on the ground that could capture the attention. They were intelligent humans with an increased potential for usefulness in her plans to complete her core command.

This female, the one called amber4 according to her information, was one such human. Alie decided that she needed this particular female, who seemed to have a connection to Clarke, a major opponent. The death of her father would make her less resistant to the acceptance of the key as well. Sending her City civilians, she chose to show both strength and diplomacy. Strength with the two broad shouldered former-guards, reliability with four common workers and diplomacy with a single doe-eyed female with pale hair. This diplomatic figure would also help probe the weakness of the human emotions, since she bared resemblance to Clarke.

Niylah had a blade on her, but Alie's soldiers had guns. Taking over Arkadia had been an invaluable move towards the beginning of the human race's integration. Slipping into place within her diplomatic's mind, Alie gazed out at the Grounder female. As she spoke, she tilted her head slightly. Humans often stated the obvious, but this seemed to be a ploy at being indifferent and brave.

Incorrect analyzation. It seemed that she did not realize that the City citizens were no longer burdened with the stressful burden of choice. Fear showed in the Grounder's actions, as she backed away towards the horse stable. The two soldiers quickly stood before the stable, blocking her escape to the horse. The four workers moved to either side of her, with distance away from the armed woman. The diplomatic host Alie inhabited stood before her. All in all, she was surrounded.

"Does that mean you know where our friends went?" Alie spoke with the sweet and delicate voice of the doe-eyed blonde, "It would be very helpful if you did."

The fearful Earth-born human was showing signs of anxiety, another advantage. Stress like that, if eased, could bring the human to show signs of trust and loyalty. However there had been resistance in the space-born humans... Would Earth-borns feel the same sense of adolescent rebellion? But this human was allowing her anxiety to cloud her judgement as well. No business here? Well, that simply wasn't true. She tilted her held and made use of the human tendency to smile, since it seemed to put other humans at ease. It was a small serene smile, but there was no emotion in those big blue eyes. That was simply something Alie couldn't replicate without her host's attachment to humans with memories and history.

"Actually, we find you a bit interesting," she smiled ever so pleasantly, before giving a small sad sigh, "You've experienced a lot loss haven't you? Just like us. In this harsh world, it sometimes feels like we lose everyone we ever care about, doesn't it?" Her host body delicately brushed a pale lock behind her ear.


"Where will you go?"



"Being alone is too dangerous in times like these..."

It was impossible to express how fearful Niylah became as the guards blocked her path to her horse. The others seemed to surround her and clutch their guns as a silent reminder that they could shoot her at a moments notice. Somehow this only made her clutch her blade tighter, even as the young blonde girl stepped out from the crowd. She seemed so... young and innocent. Was she at the heart of all this? Niylah didn't understand how A.L.I.E worked. She didn't even know what she was, or how she could possess people, but she made sure to remind herself that Raven was not herself when she came. Perhaps the same affliction had this young woman. Niylah swallowed hard when she spoke. It was calm, sweet, but utterly void of emotion or warmth. Niylah still couldn't take her eyes away from her. "I don't know where they went," Niylah answered flatly. Her lips were drawn back in an agressive expression, as though she were ready to snap. "They told me nothing."

She recoiled at the mention of loss and for a brief moment she wanted to hit the girl. Of course, her appearance held Niylah back from being so harsh, but the idea of someone who could make Raven behave the way she had mentioning loss was infuriating. Of course, anger was frequently used to smother other emotions the words dug up. "We all lose people we care about; and then we move on. We adjust to the circumstances..." She was still reeling from the discovery that Bellamy was partially to blame for the death of her father. She was still trying to convince herself that had the situation been swapped, he would have died the same. Still, the wounds were fresh and the war not yet over. "When you let me go, I will go to another village. It shouldn't concern you where I go... If you want to find the others, you should stop wasting time." She took a tentative step towards the stable and watched the guards move in closer to block her way.

"Please... I have nothing to do with this... I just want to be left alone, that's all." Her voice held a twinge of desperation; submission to the events and acceptance of the fact that she wouldn't get out of this without mercy. "You're the danger... I've survived here my whole life; I know how to overcome any danger here."
