CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR:

"AND YOU ARE NO LONGER MY WARRIOR."

The reaper tunnels were dark, only the occasional torches giving light to the people inside as they hung from the wall, the torches no doubt being put there by the reapers that lived in the tunnels. It was echoing all around as the sound of water drops could be heard sometimes from the walls, creating a puddle on the dirty ground below their feet. The occasional sound of chains could be heard from the reapers that they used to catch their prey to either take to Mount Weather or keep for themselves.

None of the reapers seemed to notice the small group of grounders and sky people quietly and sneakily venturing through their tunnels since they were one of the groups to lead the prisoners from Mount Weather out and back outside. Y/n held a map in her gloved covered hand as she and Octavia, who looked over her friend's shoulder, stared down at the map that Lincoln had made for them.

At least two guards from the Ark were with them after some sky people had came to their campsite, helping them to free their people out of the mountain where their enemies laid inside. As they turned the corner, they stopped as they looked back down at the map that continued to lay in Y/n's hand.

"According to Lincoln's map, we're getting close." Y/n states as they look at the tunnels ahead of them. "It's a maze."

Octavia sighs, looking at the woman beside her. "Lincoln should be here to show us the way."

"He wasn't ready. Even he knew that." Indra denies. "He'll do well fighting with the commander."

"It meant a lot that you forgave him." Octavia tells her.

"He earned that." Indra replies as they begin to walk forward. "I've known Lincoln since he was a boy. He always questioned our ways, but if he ever chooses sides against the clan again, not even his bravery can save him."

Just then, a clatter behind them caught the groups attention as they spun around, one of the guards from the Ark raising his gun and pulling the trigger, Octavia, Y/n and Indra's shouts of protests seeming to go through one ear and out the other. Claiming the reapers weren't the enemy, all of them knowing who really was the enemy, Indra rushed forward as she shoved the guard to the side, causing him to lower his gun as he looked to her before looking back at the tunnel they had just came from.

Y/n steps forward, glancing around the group. "We don't kill them unless we--"

However, the Griffin girl is suddenly cut off by a loud and deep cry, followed by many more as reapers run out from the tunnels, revealing that they had been followed by them. One of the sky people, who Y/n remembered to be Eric Jackson, a fellow medical officer back on the Ark who worked with her mother, raised his hand up with a device, turning it on. A loud, high-pitched sound echoed throughout the tunnel they were in, making the reapers stop as they clutched their ears, bending down in pain.
