Surviving on earth s1 maddie

Part 10

Two days later

I was shelling freshly picked nuts and every so often eating one. Jasper and a few others had gone to try to make peace with the grounders. So far there had been three attacks. I was only in two of them. A few days ago Octavia had met a grounder named Lincoln, he had left the grounder side so he was with us I think unless he's a spy. Bellamy had held him captive to get information, but Octavia and Clarke helped escape.

Clarke, Finn, jasper, and Bellamy all came running into the camp screaming things all at once like,”were under attack. Prepare for war. We’re all going to die”.

Jasper walked over to us, he was carrying a gun.

“Jasper what happened”, I asked?

“They were trying to make peace but then we saw grounders in the trees, armed! We shot at them and the grounders came and attacked us as well. They declared war”he said clearly stressed out!

Abby came out of nowhere “so in other words we’re all going to die”.

“We can do our best to fight back”, Monty said not looking at all convincing.

Over the next few days we made bullets for our guns, made our walls stronger, and trained for war. In the evening I was one of the people on watch duty.

“I saw something move”, someone I’ve never spoken to said.

“I’ll go investigate”, Bellamy said and he pointed at his gun.

“Wait”, Octavia yelled.

“What”, Bellamy asked rolling his eyes.

“Lincoln”, she said gesturing at a white lily on a nearby tree.

“We wont shoot your little boyfriend. Finn come on”, Bellamy said.

They walked out into the trees clutching their guns as if they were their children. I started breathing heavier, I wasn't ready to die. Octavia clutched her fists and paced around our camp looking like she wanted to punch someone in the face. I almost wanted to volunteer if she knocked me out maybe nobody would try to kill me. She left the camp after her brother and Finn, nobody bothered to stop her. I waited with the rest of the watch crew just staring into the woods not daring to say a word. Bellamy, Finn, and Octavia came out of the woods dragging a grounder I recognized as Lincoln. Another grounder stood by them.

Bellamy raised his gun to the strange grounders head "what do you want".

He didn't flinch or look the slightest bit scared even though he was on the verge of death "I'm Lincoln's brother. He came here to worn you that they are coming but then he was shot". The grounder risked a glance at Lincoln.

Lincoln moaned and Octavia dabbed at his forehead with her shirt.

Bellamy lowered his gun a little and then said "your coming with us. If we find out your lying", Bellamy faked pulling the gun trigger.

I helped Octavia drag Lincoln into the dropship only because I wanted an excuse to go inside. When we walked inside Monty was sitting on a stool.

"Couldn't sleep", I asked?

"Nope", he said.

"It's awful out there", I said shivering.

"Do you want me to trade places with you", Monty offered.

I hesitated before answering "if you really want to. Be safe. If anything happens to you I don't know what I'd do", I said.

"Don't worry I'll be as safe as I can be. If an arrow comes flying at my head I can't promise you anything though" Monty smiled.

I couldn't even force a smile, death wasn't funny, not for real and especially when it had to do with my brother.
