Alone

Sky people

Finn handed me over to Bellamy when we were half way back to their camp, his shoulders digging into my narrow waist. I screamed at Bellamy as well. Why were they doing this? They had nothing to gain from keeping me prisoner and ruining my life. At least the mountain men had clear intentions when they tortured me and bled me. I shuddered just thinking about it and Bellamy surprisingly placed a "reassuring" hand on my back. Surprising myself and probably him I melted into his touch and allowed my eyes to close. Sleep comes quickly to those drained of blood and harvested for 10 years.

I woke up back in my original chains and sighed, my head hanging down in defeat, my blonde braids tumbling over my shoulder. A scuffling of feet got closer and closer to me until Bellamy placed a hand under my chin and lifted it up,

"What's wrong grounder princess? Feeling all tied up?"

I shot him a glare and jerked away from his touch, he really was an asshole. Bellamy sighed and stepped even closer to me.

"There's no point keeping quiet I know you understand me and you can definitely do some talking."

I rolled my eyes at him, just because he knew I could talk doesn't mean I was going to talk to him.

"So the leader, Anya, is your mother."

Did he really need an answer to that one? I mean come on its pretty obvious and even if the scene on the bridge didn't happen, I look just like my mum. Same dark blonde hair, same dark eyes, same high cheekbones. You would have to be an idiot not to spot it. I glared down at Bellamy and lifted my chin higher, silently bating him. That hatch on the other side of the room sprung open and a furious looking brown haired girl emerged. I could tell by the slight puffiness of her eyes she had recently been crying and her eyes held zero comfort as she zoomed in on me. I felt my body tense and my heart rate speed up as she came closer to me. She stopped a few feet away from me before reaching out and slapping me straight across the face. My eyes opened in shock but I kept my face passive not wanting to show weakness.

"Raven what the hell do you think your doing?"

Bellamy growled at the girl,

"She needs to talk!"

Raven screamed back, 

"You saw how savage her people are they're going to come after us and we have to know there weaknesses! Think Bellamy Blake, you know I'm right."

Bellamy took in a deep breath and motioned to me,

"What are we supposed to do, Raven? She's done nothing wrong and now we're supposed to torture her?"

The young leader ran a hand through his hair as his eyes flickered to me,

"Look at her Raven! She's helpless, she's just like one of us."

I felt rage burning up in my body at his words, I may be but 16 winters but I am more of a warrior that these delinquents will ever be. I am not helpless, I am of the woods clan and we always have away. Raven stepped close to me again, swatting off Bellamy's warning arm and getting right up into my face. My screams filled the air as I realised Raven was carrying some sort of electrocuting device behind her back.

She dug it into my shoulder blades and a pain like no other filled my body, making me shake and scream all over. My teeth clattered in my head and blood flowed freely from the gagged wounds deep into my shoulder blades. The blood stuck to me, flowing like a river down my back and over my shoulders. The hatch flew open as Clarke came thundering into the room demanding what the hell was going on.

Bellamy grabbed Raven in an attempt to stop her but she was having none of it. Raven kicked Bellamy straight in the halls and gabbed the wires into my stomach this time. My head hung freely against my chest as my body still jerked and flung with all its might away from the horrific pain but with no success. I felt my eyes slowly closing as a blurry figure of Clarke grabbed Raven and flung her off me. Bellamy's desperate eyes filled my vision before the world went hazy once more and I blanked out.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Octavia's soft voice was the first thing I awoke to. She dragged a wet cloth over my stomach and my back attempting to clean up the blood and damage done by that savage Raven. My body still burned from the harsh treatment it had received but luckily I no longer shook like a volcano.

"Mochof."

I whispered tiredly without lifting my head. Octavia continued to clean me up quickly and efficiently without pause.

"I am sorry about what Raven did to you, Mina. No one deserves that."

Octavia left the room quickly before I could think of something to say back to her but inside I was reeling, I had an ally. My mother always seemed to have allies wherever she went, she even trained Lexa the girl with the commanders spirit! It had been such a long time since I had seen her I could only hope she survived and became commander, a great one at that. Lexa was always such a kind spirit even though she hid it well under layers of armour my mother helped her build.

Lexa and I spent many a summer together training under the careful watch of Anya and the other generals. It was rare for a warrior to take on two seconds but my mother had done it for Lexa and I. She and I trained hard and we trained each other as well as loved each other. The three of us were a family, Lexa and I sharing a sisterly bond and a motherly bond with Anya. A smile lit my face regardless of my current situation as I remembered the long winter nights where Lexa and I would snuggle up with Anya in our tent. My mothers warm arms would encase us both as she talked to us and taught us the different clans traditions and languages. The memories released a tear down my cheek and a muffled sob thought its way through my chest.

What had happened to my mother and sister after I left? Did Anya and Lexa continue on without me? Did Lexa continue to open up to Anya as a daughter or did she harden like the coming winter? I wished it not true but even then I could tell our family bond was fragile and without me in it I wouldn't be surprised if it had weakened or even collapsed. Mother would have continued to train Lexa and make her the leader the woods clan deserved but did she craft Lexa into a women to apreachiate love and the beauty of life?

I only had 6 years with my mother before the mountain men took me but in this 6 years my little family had shaped me into the women I am today. Anya taught me strength of the mind and body while Lexa taught me much gentler emotions like friendship and love. Maybe now I am free of the mountain men I will rejoin my family but I fear that the family of my past is too far gone and left broken for far to long to be fixed by a stranger for 10 years. For that was what I had become, a stranger.

A stranger to myself, a stranger to my mother and a stranger to my sister-by-heart and best friend. These sky people here are as much strangers to the ground as I myself am to my family. If that family even exists anymore. The spirit has probably led Lexa to take her rightful place as commander, leaving my mother alone yet again. I am her only kin, and she mine. When I was taken she must have feared the worst and presumed me long dead. I could only hope that together they had recovered and become strong yet again.

Octavia silently left the drop ship after cleaning off my wounds and I welcomed the silence, for silence is a comfort to those who have nothing.
