As the older brother gets 'sanitized', I wait for him to get out.
As he's getting transferred, I walk close to him, slipping him one of my small knives. He nods at me before I start off in a different direction.
As I speed walk through the halls, people stare.
My face.
The scar.
It's always what people stare at.
I bump right into the short raven haired girl and she smiles when she sees me.
"Mara" she smiles and I flash her a small grin in return.
"Hey Maya" I greet and she wraps her arms around me.
"Anything exciting going on" I ask her gently and she nods.
"Jasper. I really like him, mara" she states, gazing at the boy.
He's skaikru.
I see familiar blonde hair and she sees me.
She nods to the empty seat beside her and I nod.
"I have to go. Promise me we'll catch up even more" I ask of the raven haired girl and she smiles before nodding. I strut towards the blonde, sitting down next to her.
"Uh Clarke.....who's your very, very scary friend there" Jasper asks and Monty nods along.
I know all of the children.
"I'm about to be your best friend for the time being" I state sarcastically and Clarke places her hand on my bicep.
"Calm down, Amara" she states and I nod, leaning back in the seat.
"The monster sitting with the Outsiders, seems fitting" Cage Wallace spits as he walks by.
I kick my chair backwards as I stand up, the wood hitting the Presidents son.
Cage stumbles at the hit and I lunge towards him.
I pull out one of my knives and hold it to his face as I stand behind him, making sure he can't escape my grip.
"I already gave you one scar, you want me to add another" i growl and chuckles.
"You wouldn't dare, bitch" he grins in victory and I grab his head, slamming it down against the wooden table.
His forehead splits open at the force and he falls unconscious, dropping to the ground.
I point at the knocked out man and look towards his father.
"He fell and hit his head" I state like everyone didn't just watch me knock him unconscious.
I grab Clarke's hand, pulling her up with me.
When we're out of the room, I look at her.
"We need to get everyone out of here. They use grounders for their blood" I state and her eyes widen before she nods.
"But you need to leave first" I tell her.
Her brows furrow and she stares at me in confusion.
"If I leave, what will happen to you" she asks quickly, stepping towards me.
"They'll know I helped you escape" I state, trying to sugarcoat the fact that they would kill me.
"What would happen to you" she asks again, her voice stern.
"They would kill me" I state and as shes going to object, I cut her off.
"If one life in this war has to be taken so our side wins, I want it to be mine" I respond and she shakes her head.
"What..." a soft voice rings out from behind me.
I flinch but don't turn around to face her.
"Maya" I state nervously.
"You'd let yourself die. Are you kidding me. Out of everyone here, you'd want it to be you. It's not happening" she spits and I finally turn around.
"They'll kill me anyway, Maya. I'm helping Clarke escape" I state but she shakes her head.
Bellamy stares at me from behind Maya, studying me.
"She's right. Plus, Octavia would never forgive me if I let you die" he states and I roll my eyes.
I spin around to face Clarke.
I lean towards her ear, whisper the words.
"West side, 1:00. Guards are down at that time. Tomorrow" I tell her and she nods.
I look towards the other two.
"If my time comes to an end during this war, then so be it. If I can deal with letting myself die. You guys can too" I state sternly before walking off.
All wars take sacrifices.
This ones no different.
