We're going to war

(Anya)

I was checking on my people when I heard it. A scream… I ran towards the sound and was shocked at what I found. One of those invaders had one of our women held up against a tree with a blade at her throat.

"You better stop screaming little girl. You'll only make it worse for yourself" the man spat.

Anger filled me and I ripped the man away from her.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I spat.

"You're in my camp now you fucking grounder! I don't answer to you" the man shot.

"What's your name boy?" I demanded.

"Derek"

"Well Derek do you know what I do to people who try and rape my people?" I asked.

He shook his head.

"I skin them alive, then string them up in a tree for everyone to see" I spat.

He took a step towards me "you know what I think?"

I shook my head.

"I think you don't do shit. I bet you stand behind your little grounder bitches and make them do everything" he said taking another step towards me closing the distance between us.

"Is that so?" I asked.

He nodded.

I smirked then kicked his feet out from under him and slammed him to the ground.

Kneeled over him and held my knife at his throat.

"I'm going to spare you because we are under your leader's protection and I promised no harm would come to his people. I stand by my promises. But I swear to you if you ever come near any of my people ever again I will kill you. Do you understand?" I said.

He nodded and I could see the fear in his eyes.

"Get out of here" I spat and released him.

He jumped to his feet and sprinted away.

I turned to the girl. Clara was her name.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

She nodded "I'm fine. Thank you Anya"

I smiled and wrapped my arm around her "I promise none of those invaders will ever hurt you again."
She smiled and we walked back to camp.

Once I knew the girl was safe I stomped over to Aria's tent.

I ripped open the door and burst into the room… it was empty.

I was beyond pissed as I walked out and grabbed one of the invaders guards by his throat.

"Where is my sister?" I demanded.

"In Bellamy's tent" he said absolutely terrified.

I dropped him and went to Bellamy's tent.

I threw the tent door open and yelled "Aria!"

She quickly jumped up and out of Bellamy's arms.

"Anya?" she asked and Bellamy growled.

"We're leaving in the morning Aria! Our people are not going to stay here another day!" I yelled.

"What are you talking about? What happened?" Aria asked.

"One of his people" I said pointing to Bellamy "tried to rape one of our girls!"

Aria sighed and glared at Bellamy "You promised me my people would be safe!"

"I know I did and they will be!" Bellamy said reassuringly to Aria.

"Who committed the crime?" Bellamy asked.

"Derek" I said.

"Fuck" Bellamy swore "I'll take care of it… Miller!" he yelled.

A second later a boy ran into the tent and Aria stiffened and her hand went to her blade but Bellamy grabbed her and held her still.

"Miller I want Derek strung up in a tree for two days with no food or water" Bellamy commanded.

Miller nodded and ran back out of the tent.

"I promise as long as I am in charge of this camp no harm will come to your people" Bellamy spoke.

I stared at him for a second "Good and I promise if any of your boys lay a hand on any of my people I deem inappropriate I will skin them! Do you understand?" I yelled.

Bellamy nodded stiffly "I understand"

I nodded and walked out of the camp to check on my people.

(Clarke POV)

I let out a breath of air and Bellamy moved behind me to wrap his arms around my waist.

"Holy shit she's mad" I said.

"You don't say?" Bellamy said into my neck.

"Are you being sarcastic?" I asked sarcastically.

He smirked into my neck "maybe…"

I laughed "ohh noo" I breathed.

"What?" he asked.

"I can feel the smirk!" I said.

He laughed loudly and I joined him.

He turned me around and kissed me deeply.

He wasn't insistent or demanding but… gentle and caring and it was perfect.

For a small moment in time I was happy.

I pulled away and said "okay happy moment over I need to talk to my sister"

Bellamy growled "later…" he said and he tried to kiss me again.

I leaned away "did you just growl at me?" I asked.

He laughed "of course not… why… why would I do that?" he asked sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes "okay whatever you say Blake!"

He growled again but more flirtatiously "Blake huh?"

I nodded and kissed his nose "ah-huh"

He glared at me half-heartedly "Whatever you say PRINCESS"

I laughed "okay fair enough"

I stared into Bellamy's eyes and kissed him.

It was light at first but he became very instant as his grip tightened around my waist and he pulled me flush against his chest.

I let out a little squeak as he lifted me up.

I pulled away "Bellamy put me down!" I laughed.

He dropped me on the bed "sure thing princess"

Just as he was about to lie down on top of me I rolled out of the way.

He growled again.

"What is it with you and growling?" I asked.

He shrugged his shoulders and moved to grab me.

I jumped off the bed and laughed "oh no! I need to talk to my sister!"

Bellamy rolled his eyes and stood up "come on cant it wait?"

I shook my head "nope… I've wasted enough time already… oh god she's gonna be mad…"

"Wasted huh?" he asked a little hurt.

"I'm sorry… that's not what I meant but… crap I suck with words!" I said exasperated.

"Yeah okay… just go talk to your sister" Bellamy said pissed off.

I moved towards him "Bell I'm sorry… I didn't mean to hurt you" I said resting my hand on his cheek.

He leaned away from my hand as if disgusted by the thought of touching me and said "just go talk to your sister."

Alright now I was pissed.

I put my hand down and said "I'm sorry okay! I didn't mean to say what I said I just did! I said something stupid alright! It happens… I'm sorry! I'm not fucking perfect! Urgh! This is not my night…" I turned to leave when Bellamy grabbed my wrist and spun me around again… very quickly too.

I felt dizzy "whoa whiplash" I said as I tripped into Bellamy's arms.

"Sorry…" he said wrapping his arms tightly around me.

"About which part the whiplash or the being an asshole for the second time in one night?" I asked

"Both I guess…"Bellamy said.

"You guess?"

"I suck with words" Bellamy said.

I laughed "really?"

Bellamy kissed my neck and said "really"

I groaned "I need to…" he cut me off by kissing me.

When he pulled away he said "I know I know… you need to talk to your sister…"

I nodded and tried to maneuver myself out of his arms "yup… and to do that you're going to have to let me go!" I laughed.

Bellamy held me tighter "but I just got you back…" he whined.

"Oh my god you're like a two year old!" I said.

Bellamy laughed "yup…"

"Now let go! You're not going to lose me!" I laughed.

Bellamy rolled his eyes "fine…" and he kissed me again.

"ARIA!" Anya screamed from outside.

"That's my queue" I said and jumped from Bellamy's arm

Just before I got out of the tent Bellamy grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

"Really?" I asked before Bellamy slammed his lips down to mine.

When he pulled away he said "really…"

He leaned down to kiss me again when Anya yelled "ARIA!" again. Bellamy ignored her and tried to kiss me again "Yup… no… gotta go" I said as I ran out of the tent.

"Anya!" I yelled.

Anya turned to me and ran over yelling "where the hell have you been? Our people need us!"

I stole a glance at Bellamy's tent and said "I was trying to make a plan with Bellamy in case the reapers found us here…"

"Really? So what happened to your neck?" Anya asked.

I grabbed my neck and realised groaned "god damnit Bellamy" I said under my breath.

"What's wrong princess?" someone asked.

I turned and glared at Bellamy "really?" I asked pointing to my neck.

He shrugged his shoulders smirking.

Oh how that smirk was pissing me off.

I turned back to Anya who was fuming.

I just stared at her for a few seconds before she asked "what?"

I shrugged "I'm just waiting for the steam to start pouring out of your ears…"

She glared at me "this is not the time to joke around! My people were attacked and killed.

There are so few of my tribe left! You need to take this seriously!" she yelled.

"I am! Those are my people to! And I'm sorry if me trying to steal a moment of happiness in the midst of all this shit is such a horrible thing! We're safe Anya! At least for tonight! I am trying to have just a little bit of happiness right now because we might not have a tomorrow! It sucks to say this but it has to be said… any minute now the reapers can just show up and kill us all… and I hate to say this but… We will not survive an attack from them again! No matter how hard we train these people…" I said pointing to Bellamy's group "We will not survive unless we can get to one of the other tribes! The closest tribe is a week's journey away and it will take us at least a week to heal! Anya we'll be working again soon enough but for now I just want a break… we all need a break from this hell…" I finished.

"You suck with words huh!?" Bellamy yelled a little pissed off. God he had a short temper.

"Shut up!" me and Anya yelled in unison.

"You don't think I know that?! I understand that we need a break but we don't have that option! We are leaders Aria! Those people are looking to us for answers! Especially now!" she took a step closer to me "We don't have the option of being happy when our people our suffering! I thought you would know this by now!"

"Okay… okay I see your point… I'm sorry" I said.

"The princess giving up in a fight… never thought I'd see the day" Bellamy said to his group.

They all laughed and I glared at him "I'm not giving up! She's right! I was being selfish! My people are hurt and scared and confused and I was goofing off! And I'm not a fucking princess!" I spat.

Bellamy stopped laughing "whatever you say… Princess" he said.

"Oh my god you two are like an old married couple" Octavia said appearing out of the crowd with Linken beside her.

"Linken where the hell have you been?" Anya demanded.

"Why do you care?" Octavia asked.

"He's her second in command… sooo…. He technically is supposed to be helping with our people right now…" I said.

"I thought you were her second" Bellamy stated.

I shook my head "nooo… I'm more like her goofy co-leader"

"No your more like my own personal jester that has good idea's occasionally" Anya said smiling.

"Shut up" I laughed.

"Come… we have people to take care of" Anya said walking towards where our tribe had set up camp.

Me and Linken followed suit and walked after her.

I looked down at his clothes and saw they were all messed up.

"Have fun?" I asked smirking.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

I stood on my tip toes to whisper in his ear "your shirts on backwards"

He froze and I started laughing.

"So you and Octavia huh?" I asked.

He nodded then looked down at his shirt.

"My shirts not on backwards…" he started and then it dawned on him.

"I hate you" he said and I burst out laughing.

"Shut up!" he said turning red and I laughed harder and almost fell over.

"What's going on back there?" Anya demanded turning around to glare at us.

I stood up straight and tried not to laugh "nothing" I said.

"Your sister thinks she's hilarious" Linken said with a slight chuckle.

"What did she do this time?" Anya asked.

He looked down at me begging me to answer for him.

I sucked in a breath and tried to be calm "I was just making fun of his last hunting trip" I lied.

"What's so funny about it?" Anya asked.

"Umm… I just found it funny that he goes on a two day trip and only had two deer and a hog to show for it but whenever I go hunting I manage to get 3 times that amount… and my hunting trips don't even last a day! And I haven't even been training for a year" I said.

"And it was that funny?" Anya asked.

"Of course it was funny I said it! It was freaking hilarious… actually the best part was the look on his face when I said it" I laughed.

Anya rolled her eyes and started walking away.

"Buzzkill" I said pretending to cough.

"Did you say something?" Anya demanded.

I shook my head "no... Nope… nothing at all" I said with a guilty smile.

Once again she rolled her eyes and kept walking.

I turned to Linken and smiled "I think she's mad" I said.

He chuckled "yeah just a bit"

I grabbed his hand and we ran to catch up to Anya.

When we got to our small little section of camp a bunch of the kids ran up to me.

"Aria!" they yelled.

I smiled and bent down to hug them.

The kids all but tackled me to the ground.

I laughed "Careful there" I said. When the kids let me up I could see how scared they all were.

"Aria what's going to happen to us? Are these invaders going to hurt us?" one kid asked.

"I heard that their all criminals! How do we know if we can trust them?" another kid asked.

One of the little girls started to cry.

Linken picked her up and said "don't worry no one's going to hurt you! They'll have to go through me first… and have you seen the people in that camp? They're not really fighting material"

The kids laughed and I nodded "no one's going to hurt you I can promise that!" I said.

The kids looked to me and smiled.

"Are you willing to kill them to protect us?" someone asked. I looked up and saw a teenage boy who was about 14 staring down at me.

I straightened up and said "absolutely… I will kill anybody who threatens my tribe"

He glared at me "really? So why the fuck didn't you kill all the fucking reapers? Why did you make the choice to bring our people here to cower away from the fight? Why aren't you out there right now killing those fucking sons of bitches! My mother and father are dead and you don't even want to avenge them you bitch!" he yelled.

Anya turned to us and looked to me silently asking permission to knock some sense into him and Linken stepped in front of me and said "you better watch your mouth kid."

I shook my head at her no then pushed Linken and the kids behind me.

I stepped up to him and glared down at him "Your Alec right?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Your parents were Jody and Mike right?" I asked.

He nodded again.

"Nice people… I really liked them… they didn't deserve to die like that" I said.

"They didn't deserve to die period!" he said with a tear falling down his cheek.

"I know they didn't… but that doesn't change the fact that their dead. I'm not going to sugar coat this next part because you need to hear it and I personally don't condone teaching kids these things when their so young but you need to hear this. This war isn't even close to being over and I promise that a little kid like you won't survive. Reapers don't care who they kill. If you're a child or an adult they don't care. To them you're just another tally mark for them to burn into their skin. You're an easy kill! Your father was a good man and no matter how much we tried to convince him you needed it he refused to have you trained by anyone but himself. He was too soft on you… he wouldn't teach you the hard stuff. He taught you what he thought you would need. You see those kids" I asked pointing to the little children behind me. He nodded. "Those children are far more ahead in their training then you are! Some of them are barely ten! I saw those children killing reapers when all you did was sit and cry! They lost their parents to you know but that didn't stop them! They knew what had to be done! I watched ten year olds kill more than you and I have to say it's kind of sad! You wanna talk all high and mighty about killing reapers show me your shoulder! How many tally marks do you have!?" I demanded.

He looked down but brought his shirt collar down he had none.

"That's what I thought" I pulled my shirt down to show him my shoulder.

"I'm close to 200 at the present moment and I haven't even added up my kills from today! I lost my men out there! My family! I lost more of my family than you did!" I yelled.

He glared up at me "those weren't your family you fucking bitch! You weren't blood related to them!" he yelled.

I grabbed his shirt collar and hauled him up to his toes "family doesn't end with blood you fucking twit!" I yelled looking to Linken. He gave a small smile and motioned for me to continue.

"I trained with those men! I hunted with those men! I fought with those men! I bled with those men! I fucking burned our dead with those men! Half of my men died on a battle field with those fucking reapers! We didn't even get to bury them! We had to fucking burn them because we were in the midst of a fight! I sang, I drank, I laughed and I joked with those men! They were my family! All of you are my family! This tribe is my family! Whether you like it or not that includes you!" I dropped his shirt and he all but fell on his butt.

"I lost more men today than I ever have in my life! I made the call to retreat so I wouldn't lose any more! But hey you wanna go out there to fight those 'fucking reapers' be my guest! But if you stay then stop bitching to me about loss!" I finished.

He stood up and was now bawling his eyes out "I'm s-s-sorry" he stuttered.

I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him "I'm sorry to. No child should have to hear that…" I said moving a little ways away so I could look him in the eyes "but you're not a child anymore… and I'm sorry for that but it's true. Tomorrow I start training Bellamy's group and your all welcome to join us" I said.

He sniffed and nodded "th-th-thank you."

I smiled and nodded.

He had his arms wrapped around me and he cried into my shirt. I just held him until he stopped and one of the older woman pulled him away.

I turned to Linken who was just staring at me disapprovingly.

"What?" I asked.

He shook his head "don't you think that was a bit harsh?" he asked.

"It needed to be said… now" I said smiling at the little kids who were staring at me "bedtime!" I finished.

They groaned and some started complaining about how 'they were too old for a bedtime'

"But we don't want to go to bed" an adorable little blond girl said looking up at me with bright blue puppy dog eyes.

I groaned "oh come on… if you guys don't go to bed how do you expect to have enough energy to show up Bellamy's group at training tomorrow?" I asked.

One of the little boys smirked "we could show up that group with no sleep while blindfolded with our hands tied behind our back"

Me and Linken burst out laughing "true but still you have to go to bed!" I pleaded.

They shook their heads at me "you're not my mom why should we listen to you?" a little boy said cockily.

"Please!" I pleaded.

They shook their heads at me.

"Linken help!" I pleaded.

"Kids listen to Aria!" he said.

I rolled my eyes at him "thanks great help Linken"

He shrugged his shoulders and one of the kids jumped on top of me yelling "doggy-pile!"

The next thing I knew I had 8 kids lying on top of me.

"Linken help!" I choked out.

He laughed and started walking away.

"Linken get back here!" I yelled.

He turned around and said "payback sucks doesn't it?" then he ran off.

"God d… Linken!" I yelled.

The kids were laughing so hard now.

"Okay! Can't breathe!" I said.

The kids finally started to get off me and I took an exaggerated deep breath.

The kids were laughing so hard now and I laughed along with them.

"Bedtime" someone said behind us.

All the kids froze then looked at the ground pouting.

I played along and did the same thing.

I stood behind the kids and looked at the ground with a pout. The kids started to giggle again and Anya fumed "go to bed!" she commanded.

The kids started walking back to the tents and I followed with big comedic steps causing the kids to laugh again.

"Not you Aria!" she said.

I jumped up with pretend glee and the kids groaned "why does she get to stay up?" someone asked.

I laughed and Anya glared "because she isn't a child! Now go to sleep!" she yelled.

The kids basically tripped over each other trying to get into their tents. My sister was scary when she was mad.

I looked down at my feet with a pout.

She stared at me "what?"

"How do you know I'm not a child?" I asked with a childish voice.

She laughed and walked over to me.

"Trust me a kid wouldn't have these" she said playfully grabbing my boobs.

I laughed and jumped away "Anya!"

She laughed and said "what?" faking innocent.

I rolled my eyes at her "so what's got you in a mood?" I asked.

She stopped laughing "buzzkill" she said.

I snorted "you heard that huh?"

She laughed "of course I did! You're not exactly a quiet person!"

"True… now what's wrong?" I asked seriously.

"Are we actually going to train those people? They've killed so many of our own"

"Of course we're going to train them! I made a promise"

"I do not feel comfortable with this Aria" she said.

I nodded "I know. If it makes you feel better you can just train the kids and I'll train the older ones"

She smiled at me "that would be perfect! Thank you!" she said and hugged me.

"Okay well I'm going to sleep" I said.

She nodded "as am I. Goodnight sister"

I smiled and hugged her.

I watched her walk into her tent then I walked to Bellamy's.

When I arrived I heard more than one voice coming out of the tent and well… curiosity got the best of me so I stood outside and listened.

"No Miller!" Bellamy said.

"Bellamy please listen to us! We can't trust them! Look what they did to Clarke! They took her memories and turned her into someone she's not!" a female voice said.

"No Monroe I'm not even considering this!" Bellamy yelled.

"Bellamy think about it! How many of our people have they killed?! And how many of their people have we killed?! Do you think they're just going to forget that?" Millar said "Plus she shot me with an arrow! I think we should kick them out by morning!"

"You were being an asshole and you shot at her! She was defending herself! We can trust Clarke! We are not kicking them out!" Bellamy yelled.

"Bellamy she doesn't even know who she is!" Monroe yelled.

"Okay that's it!" I yelled walking into the tent.

The three of them looked to me in shock.

"First off don't fucking talk about me like you know me because you don't! I don't remember much of my past but I can tell you this! Every person I've met here so far I've had a certain feeling about them! Like when I met you" I said pointing to Miller "I knew I had seen you somewhere before and I knew that if I did know you we didn't get along. Am I right?"

He nodded.

"And you!" I said pointing to Monroe "Same fucking thing! I knew I knew you from somewhere but I had no idea where! I also knew that you didn't like me and vice versa! We weren't friends before!"

She nodded.

"So don't fucking talk about me like you know every goddamn fact about my life! And if I hear you doing it again let's just say you're going to have a few loose teeth! Am I fucking clear?" I yelled.

She glared at me but nodded.

"Good! Now… Let me tell you something about my people! I just got back from convincing my tribe that we could trust you! They know you were criminals and we know where you're from! I know who you are and I know what you are!" I yelled.

"Oh and what are we?" Miller demanded.

"Your human beings just like me and like Anya and like the rest of my tribe. I know about the arc… thing… and how your people are dying up there! I know they sent you down to see if the earth was inhabitable! I know how things went wrong and I know about all the hardships you faced trying to contact them again!"
"How do you know all this?" Miller asked.

"And why didn't you tell me?" Bellamy demanded.

"First off Murphy told us and second I didn't tell you because it kept slipping my mind" I answered.

"It kept slipping your mind? Really?" Bellamy asked.

I shrugged.

"Why did you come here?" Monroe asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Why were you outside Bellamy's tent in the first place?" she asked.

"I wanted to explain how the training would work" I said.

"What training?" Miller asked.

"None of you can use a bow or a spear really. You think you can but I promise you that if your ever faced with a reaper your be dead before you even think about picking up the damn weapon."

"Yeah but we also have our guns" Monroe said.

"You're better off using a spoon. I've been in firefights with you people. You suck! You blindly shoot at nothing and waste ammo! We have true trained Military officers! You won't survive down here without us so please except our help!" I said.

"Why should we?" Miller asked.

"Did you miss the part about you'll die without our help? Was there something hard to understand in that statement? Am I not speaking English?" I asked.

Miller glared "we don't need you help" he said.

"Give me one day of training! One day to prove we want to help" I pleaded.

"Why do you want help?" Monroe asked.

Bellamy was rolling his eyes and muttering how this was his decision.

"Because we need your help to" I said.

Miller and Monroe shared a glance and said "fine one day"

I smiled "thank you" I said.

They nodded and Bellamy said "Miller Monroe get out"

They shared a glance but walked out of the tent.

Bellamy smiled tired "fun day huh?"

"Ohmygod…"I said and wrapped my arms around his waist "can it just be tomorrow already?"

"I know right" he said into my hair.

"So do you still want me to stay here?" I asked

"Where else where you planning on staying?" he asked sarcastically.

"Okay" I said and plopped onto the bed and fell right into a dreamless sleep.

(Anya POV)

"Aria come home" I yelled to my sister. I was 10 at the time Aria was 8.

"You have to catch me first!" she yelled. I sighed and chased after her. When I caught her I was furious.

"Aria you know better than this! You can't run off like that it's not safe!" I yelled.

She smiled her beautiful smile at me "I'll always be safe when I have you Anya! You'll protect me right?"

I stared into her blue eyes and sighed pulling her into my arms. I stroked her beautiful blonde hair and said "I'll always protect you. I love you Aria"

She snuggled into my arms "I love you Anya. Always"

"Aria! Anya!" mother called out. I grabbed Arias hand and tugged her back home.

We arrived at the little hut my father had built for our family on the outskirts of the village.

My mother was standing on the little porch with a hand on her belly. She was 4 months pregnant and I hoped it was a boy. I so wanted a brother.

"Found her Mother!" I called.

Aria ran into our mother's arms and mother said "Aria you mustn't run off like that you scared me to half to death"

"I'm sorry mother I just wanted to play" Aria said with her puppy dog eyes. No one could be mad at Aria when she did those eyes.

"Oh fine… Come inside your father will be home soon" Mother said.

Me and Aria quickly washed up and sat down for dinner when my father walked in looking grim.

"Daddy!" Aria called and ran to my father.

My dad smiled and opened his arms to hug her. She jumped up and he picked her up "hello sweetie how was your day?" he asked Aria.

She smiled "it was great!" she cheered.

My mother walked out of our tiny little cooking area which was literally a fireplace with a pot hanging above the fire.

"This little one was out running in the field!" my mother scolded.

"Oh Aria not again!" he was getting mad.

My sister put on her puppy dog eyes and her perfect blue eyes filled with tears "I'm sorry daddy… I just wanted Anya to chase me and play with me" she said crying slightly.

My father handed Aria to my mother to console her and he looked to me.

'Uh-oh' I thought.

"Anya a word please" My father said motioning for me to go outside with him.

"Oh John this wasn't her fault!" Mom pleaded.

"I didn't say it was Mary! I just need to speak with my daughter" he said. I nodded and followed him outside.

"What really happened? You know I can't stand your sisters puppy eyes" he said.

I smiled sadly "I was helping mom with dinner when Aria complained that she wanted to play but I didn't want mum to have to deal with dinner herself because of her condition" I started.

"I understand and that is very kind of you continue" he said.

"I told Aria that I would play with her after dinner but she insisted on playing now and then she ran out of the house trying to get me to play chase" I finished.

"That's all?" he asked.

I nodded and he smiled.

He wrapped his arms around me and carried me back into the house.

Five years later

Aria and I were walking home laughing. It was my 15th birthday and I had spent the day with my sister in the fields just laughing and talking. That was a luxury we only got on our birthdays.

We got back to our house and I noticed right away. Something was wrong! The front door was kicked in and my parents were nowhere to be found.

I took out my blade and told Aria to stay there.

"Fuck that I'm watching you back in there!" she said.

I rolled my eyes "fine just stay quiet!" I shushed her.

We walked into the house and I almost threw up. I found my parents… and my 5 year old brother.

"NO!" I screamed.

They were in pieces. Cut up almost beyond recognition and my brother had been pinned to the wall with arrows. Aria ran out of the house and threw up.

I walked over to the table and saw the strawberry's that we always had as dessert for my birthday and next to it was a wooden box.

I opened the lid and screamed. I heard Linken outside checking on my sister and then he ran inside "Anya what's… ohmygod!" he said as he took in his surroundings.

He walked over to me and looked inside.

"Ohmygod…" he said again then ran outside to throw up.

I had tears streaming down my face but I hadn't yet made a noise.

I took a deep breath and then willed myself to look back into that fucking box.

Aria ran in and I yelled for her to stay back.

"What's in the box?" she asked.

I shook my head and said "our father…" well at least our fathers head.

"Aria get out!" I yelled. She didn't need to be told twice as she bolted out of the room.

I started to pick up the head to see what was under it.

Linken ran back in as I was putting the head on the table.

"What are you…?" he started.

"There's a note" I cut him off.

I picked up the parchment and opened it.

I fell to my knees and cried.

Linken ran over to me and he wrapped his arms around me.

I had crumpled the paper in my hand "what does it say?" he asked

"happy fucking birthday" I said.

I jolted awake covered in sweat and tears. The sun was coming up so I got up.

I found my Aria (Clarke) getting training supplies ready.

I ran over to her and wrapped my arms around her.

"Hey" she said surprised.

"You know I love you right" I said and tightened my grip on her to make sure she couldn't get out of my grasp.

"Of course and I love you" Aria said hugging me back.

"I'm never going to let anything happen to you" I said.

"I know and I'll never let anything happen to you" she reassured me.

I finally let her go and said "I'm going to get the kids"

"Okay" she said smiling but a little confused.

I smiled then ran off.

(Clarke POV)

"What was that about?" a sleepy Bellamy asked.

"I have no idea" I said watching her run back to our little section of camp.

Bellamy stood behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist "she really loves you huh?" he said.

"Of course she does! She's my sister" I said.

Bellamy stiffened but nodded into the crook my neck.

I smiled and said "can you go get your people?"

"They're not going to be happy about being up so early" Bellamy said.

"Early!? We slept in!" I said.

Bellamy stiffened "What?"

I laughed "I'm kidding but people will have to be up early from now on" I said.

He groaned "I'll go get them"

He walked away and I was left in the cold. I shivered and waited for….

"EVERYBODY GET UP!" Bellamy screamed.

A few people got up but not a lot so I grabbed some of the gun powder I kept in a bag on my belt. I grabbed a small handful and chucked it into the fire. I leapt back before a small explosion went off.

Now everyone was up.

"What the hell did you do?" Bellamy demanded.

"I woke everyone up" I said standing up and brushing off some dirt that had clung to my clothes.

Bellamy stared in shock at me "you had gunpowder?" he asked.

I nodded and said "it's from my gun and my bullets. I thought that having something that could explode while in battle would work a little nicer than bullets" I answered.

Everybody was standing in a semi-circle around Bellamy and me.

"Hey!" Bellamy called to try and get everyone to shut up. A few people stopped talking but not everyone.

"Everybody SHUT UP!" I screamed. There now I had their attention.

"Now anyone who's been living under a rock for the past day listen up because I'm only saying this once. My name is Aria and my tribe is staying here with you and yes this does include Anya. I said in payment to your kindness we will train all of you to be warriors. Now I warn you this training will be like nothing you've ever experienced. Your 'tough lives' back on your arc ship will seem like a freaking cake walk! Now anyone 15 or under will be training with my sister Anya and Linken. Everyone else is with me, Sam, and Dean." I said pointing to two of my best hunters.

"Now does anyone who will be training with Anya have questions?" I asked.

I waited a minutes but no one said anything "good everyone 15 and under go with Anya!" I yelled.

I waited until all the younger kids left before I continued talking "Any questions?"

"Yeah why should we train? What if we don't want to?" Some guy yelled.

"Anyone who does not wish to receive training can leave now but I warn you only those who train with us will be allowed to join us in our journey to the other tribe. Everyone who does not wish to receive training will be left to fend for themselves. With the exception of the children" I said.

Everyone started yelling at once. I let them continue on their rants before I grabbed my bow and fired an arrow into the air.

"What was the point of that?" someone asked.

I pointed to a group of people "move" I said and everyone scattered to the sides right before the arrow landed in the ground.

"Why can only the people who train go with you?" Octavia asked.

"Because I need warriors not Liability's" I said.

"We're not Liabilities" a girl spoke up.

"Really?" I asked and she smirked.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed a wooden sword we used for training. I started to move for girl but not before a couple of guys jumped in front of her. I took both of them down in two moves then I was in front of the girl with the fake blade against her heart.

"Not a liability huh?" I asked.

"I didn't have a weapon!" she said.

"You don't need a weapon dipshit! You not only just got yourself killed but I also just killed two of your teammates because they knew you couldn't protect yourself" I said.

"So you don't need a weapon against someone with a sword?" she asked sarcastically.

"Nope" I answered truthfully.

"Prove it!" she said.

I shrugged and walked back to the empty space in the middle of the semi-circle.

"Dean!" I yelled and he walked out into the clearing with his sword drawn. And no it wasn't a wooden sword it was an actual sword.

"What the hell? What If he hurts her?" Bellamy yelled at Sam.

"Dean wouldn't use a sword if he didn't completely believe she could defend herself!" Sam yelled back.

"Shut up!" I yelled.

I stood in a fighting pose waiting for Dean to make the first move.

Neither of us moved for what seemed like an eternity before I sensed movement behind me. I ducked down just before Sam swung his sword at me. I leapt to the side and knocked him on his back. I grabbed his sword and ducked out of the way as Dean took a swing at me and I kicked his knee out while he was distracted.

I fake slashed Sam's throat just as Dean recovered. The love these two brothers had for each other was uncanny if you even pretended one was hurt the other went berserk and it was near impossible to beat them.

The anger in Dean's eyes was terrifying! I dropped the blade and waited for his attack. He lunged for me yelling and cursing the ground I walked on. I fell into a bridge to escape a fatal blow from Dean and instead of standing back up I rolled away from yet another fatal blow. I sidestepped his sAllword then kicked him in the face. He staggered a bit and I took the opportunity to kick the sword from his grasp.

Now we were fighting with just our hands and I knew I was close to winning. His anger was winning out. A few kicks and punches later I had Dean pinned to the ground and I was chocking him.

"And you're dead" I said letting go of him.

I had taken a few hits but nothing fatal.

"That's how it's done people" I said smirking.

"And how long did it take you to learn that?" someone asked.

"A day" Sam, Dean, and I said in unison.

"It was quite impressive!" Dean said.

"She wouldn't quit until she could beat us" Sam said.

"Now… who's ready to stop bitching and learn to kick some ass?" I asked.

All the guys cheered and some of the girls looked confused.

I set everyone up in a circle around me and said "first things first. Before you can learn to fight with a sword you must know how to defend yourself with just your hands and feet!"

I looked to Miller and said "Miller come here"

He walked into the middle of the circle.

"Hands up" I said telling him to copy my stance.

He did… poorly but at least he was trying.

"Now pretend I'm a reaper and you have to capture me to bring back to camp for interrogation" I said.

Miller smirked and said "I don't want to hurt you princess"

Sam and Dean laughed "trust me you won't" Sam said.

Miller went to punch me and I easily stepped to his side and grabbed his arm. I twisted it around his back and kicked his knee out causing him to fall to the ground.

"Don't hold back!" I yelled walking out in front of him.

He grabbed my ankle and tried to pull me to the ground. It would have worked except I was anticipating this and I turned around and kicked him in the face softly… well not really soft but hey I didn't break anything… Silver lining YAY….

He fell face first into the dirt and groaned.

"If that's all you got I might as well feed you to the reapers now!" I yelled down at him.

He groaned but made no move to get up.

"Pathetic!" I yelled and motioned for Sam and Dean to move him out of the circle. I turned and saw Harper gossiping to someone else.

"Harper!" I yelled. She turned to face me with fear in her eyes "y-y-yes?" she stuttered.

"Step into the circle!" I commanded.

She shakily moved into the circle.

"Same situation" I told her.

She looked startled "u-u-umm s-s-situation… r-r-right"

"You have no idea of the situation do you?" I asked.

She looked really afraid so I smiled reassuringly "it's okay you can tell me"

She smiled slightly "no… I don't"

I smiled "Okay… you're on blood duty for the rest of the day"

She looked shocked "what?"

"Oh you see how it works is when a person leaves this circle covered in blood you have to clean them up and inspect their wounds no matter how gruesome also…." I said moving closer and then in one swift move I kicked her feet out from under her and pinned her to the ground by her neck "pay attention when I'm trying to teach you on how to keep your pathetic little life from being taken understand!" I yelled in her face.

"Yes!" she screamed and I released her.

"Sam get Claire to show her what to do!" I said.

Harper quickly scrambled away and Bellamy grabbed my wrist and pulled me from the circle.

"What are you doing?" he demanded.

"I'm training them!" I said.

"This isn't training this is abuse!" he yelled.

"No trust me this is going easy on them!" I yelled.

"What? On what planet is this going easy on them!?" he yelled.

"Earth!" I screamed "welcome to fucking earth Bellamy! We are dealing with people that eat other people! I went through this training to! Hell mine was harder! I didn't learn with fucking wooden swords! If you couldn't get out of the way you were dead! That's what I went through! I trained for a fucking month and then I had to fight in a fucking war against those fucking reapers! So if you want to complain then step into my office" I said walking back into the middle of the circle.

Bellamy stomped after me but stood across from me mimicking my stance.

"Don't hold back because I won't!" he spat.

"Aww promise?" I asked sarcastically. We circled each other for a second before he finally made a move against me. He went to punch me and I jumped out of the way. He tried to kick me and I took the opportunity to kick his other foot out from under him, sending him to the ground with a nice thud.

I pinned him down and said "and now you're dead" then I pushed myself off of him and walked back to the side of the circle.

"Again!" he yelled. I turned surprised and smiled as I watched him struggle to get up.

We took our stance and then I waited. It didn't take long for him to try and punch me again.

He was being fueled by anger which made him sloppy.

Three moves later and I had him on the ground again "you're to mad! If you let your anger fuel you, you will die!" I yelled.

I pushed myself up off him and then I heard it "again"

I smirked and turned around just in time to duck a punch from him. I tuck and rolled out of the way and watched him move. He tried to kick my knee and I swiped it out of the way. Just as he was putting weight back on his other foot I punched him in the jaw. I stood behind him and waited for him to turn back around. When he did I ducked his punch then I stood on my toes and kissed him fiercely.

He was shocked and didn't really know what was happening until I wrapped my arms around his neck.

Just as he leaned into the kiss I kicked his feet out from under him and pinned him to the ground.

"And now you're dead! Never let your guard down! Your enemy might try something sneaky" I said.

Bellamy growled at me then pushed me off of him.

I stood up straight and watched Bellamy walk out of the circle and took his spot around me.

"Who's next?" I asked.

At the end of the day the only people who had improved at all were

1. Octavia 2. Bellamy and 3. Monroe. I felt kind of bad for Harper because of all the blood she had to deal with but hey… she got off easy. When I was in training I begged for that punishment because it was better than hanging in a tree for 4 hours UPSIDEDOWN! My training sucked but it worked so I can't complain. On my way back to Bellamy's tent someone grabbed me and pinned me to a tree.

"What the fu…" I was cut off by Bellamy kissing me. It took a second but eventually I leaned into the kiss I wanted to run my hand through his hair but sadly they were pinned above my head. I felt his tongue invade my mouth and I moaned. When we pulled apart for air I said "that was one hell of a hello" I smirked. Bellamy transferred both my hands into his one and then ran a hand along my hip.

I winced when he reached a bruise that his sister had given me when we were fighting. I knocked her to the ground and she acted in more pain then she actually was so when I offered to help her up she kicked me in the hip and almost 'killed' me but I rolled out of the way before she could pin me to the ground and I tackled her to the ground and once again pinned her to the floor. She wasn't happy but she threw my words back in my face saying "never let your guard down! Your enemy might try something sneaky" I laughed then said "very good at least someone's learning."

Bellamy smirked down at me "sorry" he said biting my lip.

I groaned "mmhumm" was all I could say as he kissed me again. His hand snaked around to the small of my back and he pulled me against him more. I smiled then groaned as he started to kiss my jaw and then down my neck.

"Bellamy" I gasped when he reached my pulse point.

I could feel him smirk against me and he stopped kissing me.

"Were you going to say something princess?" he asked as he ran his hand down my leg.

I groaned as he started to kiss me again "the princess with nothing to say? I'm shocked" he said.

I ripped my hands out of his grip then kissed him with force. He moaned into my mouth as I moved against him. He started to reach for the buttons of the back of my shirt when all of the sudden someone yelled "ARIA!"

I jumped away from Bellamy and ran towards the voice with Bellamy on my heels.

I soon found myself a few feet from Anya's tent with Anya in my arms bawling her eyes out.

I hugged her and brushed her hair trying to soothe her and Bellamy left awkwardly.

I saw a crowd of our people start to form so I pulled Anya into her tent.

"Can you tell me what's wrong?" I asked.

She shook her head.

"Is it the nightmares again?" I asked.

She nodded and I sighed. Just over a month ago she started to have horrible memories of our past that she refused to tell me because it was better that I didn't know the horrors of our childhood.

So I stayed quiet and just held my sister and let her cry.

Eventually she cried herself to sleep but only after I promised I would stay with her so for the first time in over a month I held my sisters hands and watched over her.

(Anya)

It was a hard day of training and dealing with crying kids that had no clue what they were doing so when I reached my bed all I wanted to do was sleep. And that's exactly what I did. Sadly fate wasn't kind and only let me think about the mistakes I had made in the past.

"Linken!" I yelled. I watched as the hunting party I had set up came back. They had been attacked by the reapers again but this time they weren't so lucky and only three walked through the gate. I had sent 20.

"Where is my sister" I demanded. That's when I noticed that Linken had a spear going through his hip.

"Shit!" I yelled. I ran over to Linken and caught him before he could fall to the ground.

"Where is my sister?" I asked again. I never should have let her go on this hunting trip but she made me! She said that even if she didn't have my permission to go she would just sneak out. I had begged her not to go but she just flipped me off. She was pissed at me at the present moment because I didn't let her go out with a guy that had turned out had cheated on her! But she was still pissed because I didn't 'let her make her own choices' so I had let her go on this trip after she promised to take 20 of our best men along with them. So now here were 3 of my top men crawling back inside the gates and my sister was gone!

I don't know how many search parties I had sent out! I had lost count of how many reapers I killed and I was down 50 men! I was no closer to finding my sister and I was panicked! So now two weeks later I was sitting at my desk looking at a little box that had been thrown over the wall by the reapers. Inside was my sister's finger. I went nuts! I killed so many reapers after that! One week later and they sent me the rest of her hand. It continued like this for a while and I didn't know what to do! I had offered a trade me for her but the reapers wouldn't take it! Their leader wanted me to suffer because of something my father had done! Now 2 months later we had found a giant box with blood coming out of the sides. My poor sister… my dear sister… I couldn't bear it! I stopped talking for months… I was cold and distant to whoever wanted to talk to me. If I ever came across a reaper even a child I killed it! I was becoming the monster they wanted me to be!

Two years later the invaders came and when I first saw Clarke I almost fell to my knees. She was the spitting image of my sister! It was like some cruel trick! When she lost her memory all I could think was that I could have a sister again. I knew it was wrong but I needed my family back! I was desperate! So I had her believe she was my sister. Watching her go through training and forgetting all the proper stuff her parents had taught her to do and be someone she wasn't slipped away and I watched her turn into… my sister… their personalities were almost identical. I was so happy to have Clarke as my family. Then when that asshole had taken her I almost had a heart attack. Memories of my true sister came flooding back and I knew that I would never make the mistakes with Clarke as I did with Aria! The world had given me another sister and I wasn't going to take advantage of that! So I tracked her down and killed the asshole that was planning on raping and killing her! I had my sister back and yes I knew that it was wrong and I should let her be her own person but I needed a family. Linken tried but he could never relate. Clarke was my sister and even if she gets her memory back and hates me she will always be my sister in my eyes and who knows maybe she'll forgive me one day.

My eyes flew open and I started crying.

I didn't want to lose my sister but I knew that I had to tell her who she was eventually… I needed to talk to her. I was breaking down. My heart was pounding and I couldn't breathe… I jumped out of the tent and yelled for my sister! When she found me I was in the middle of a mental breakdown!

'what have I done? I've taken someone else's life for my own selfish needs!' I cried and I knew that I would have to tell her. But for tonight I just needed my sister so I curled up next to her like me and Aria had done as children and I let her soothe me to sleep…
