Blood Moon

When Clarke hit the water she felt her neck spasm but it didn't faze her and without thinking she leapt out of the water growling and scaled the cliff to get back to Lexa. She grabbed onto a rock and slipped, when the rock fell Clarke growled at the cliff face, trying to make it submit to her. Nothing or no one was going to stop her from getting back up there and helping Lexa.

Lexa spat out blood and took a deep breath while clutching at the harpoon in her body.

The men cheered when they saw her down, Emerson patted the backs of his men. "We must take her back with us and find the blonde." Emerson looked around and pointed at two men who were giving each other high fives.

"You two find the blonde and bring her back here, she took a little tumble off the cliff. You can high five each other when we are back at base."

Paul and Derek jumped in fright when they heard the lieutenant barking orders at them.

"Yes sir, sorry sir." They both said before walking quickly towards the cliff. They slowed down when they got closer to the injured woman.

"Filthy abominations, did you see how she tried to save the other abomination Derek? It's pathetic to think that these creatures think they are human. I'm going to enjoy harvesting every last one of them." Paul sneered and walked closer to the injured commander.

Lexa gritted her teeth. She had to save Clarke and give her time to escape, no matter the cost, and also avenge the deaths of her people by the hands of these savages. New rage and determination surged through her body, she growled and chanted. 'Ge smak daun, gyon op nodotaim' (Get knocked down, get back up.) to herself. She grabbed the harpoon firmly and ripped it out of her body with a mighty roar and transformed back into her wolf form ready for another fight.

Paul was about to smack her in the head when he leapt back and quivered with fear when hearing and seeing what this creature was capable of. He saw deathly gleaming green eyes which seemed to pierce right into his soul and the way those pearly white teeth smiled at him was like seeing the devil himself.

He quickly grabbed Derek shoving him to the ground and gave him a swift and hard kick to the leg before fleeing for his life. Derek screamed and grabbed his injured leg swearing and cursing at his supposed to be best friend for injuring him and leaving him for dead.

Lexa watched as Paul ran for his life, she shook her head at the weakness he showed. She snapped off the rope like it was nothing and growled in pain before picking the weapon up with her jaws and throwing the harpoon at the fleeing man who instantly dropped. She looked down at the injured man who was praying to his god. He glanced up at her and grabbed his weapon, before she could react Derek threw his weapon away towards the cliff where she pushed Clarke down. Derek held onto his leg again and looked up at the wolf. "Please don't kill me, I am no threat to you."

Lexa picked him up by the scruff off his neck and hurled him into the opposite direction of Clarke. He knocked into four of his comrades who fell over like bowling pins.

Lexa trotted over to Paul's lifeless body and shifted back into her human form. She stood on Paul's body to give her leverage for pulling the harpoon out as it was firmly lodged inside him. Blood spurted out, covering her face and body. She grabbed the rope that was still attached to the harpoon and started to swing the weapon above her head before running towards her enemies with a fearful battle cry.

Emerson's men stopped and ran away in fear when they saw the look in her eyes and the way nothing seemed to stop her from advancing on them, it was like the devil himself was attacking them.

Emerson screamed at them to come back and fight for their fallen comrades. He grabbed a man by his collar. "Fight like a man, do not cower to this demon!"

The man babbled. "But sir we have lost too many and we cannot seem to kill her."

The lieutenant smacked him to the ground. "What if she attacks your family do you not care? She is no god, look how she bleeds!" He pointed in Lexa's direction. "If they bleed they can die and we all know that. We have killed thousands of them and their leader is no different from them."

A scientist ran up to the Emerson. "Sir we cannot kill her, Dr. Tsing needs them alive."

The lieutenant glared at the man and nodded. "I know! But at this stage she will get them how I see fit." He grinded down on his teeth and stared at the scientist. This one had balls to stay while his men ran like a bunch of cowards. They would not go unpunished that was for sure. "FIRE!" He barked.

The remaining men aimed their guns and fired. However, it didn't seem to slow this beast down instead it made her run more swiftly towards them when she was close enough she hurled her harpoon at them before shifting into her wolf form.

The men out of desperation shot and threw their gas canisters at her. They shot with shaky hands while praying to their god and making promises to him if they survived this day.

"She is still coming, the tranquilisers aren't working fast enough!"

"Keep shooting her!"

The lieutenant shouted at the scientist. "Why isn't this instant? Why is this taking so damn long?"

The scientist kept shooting and was shocked when he ran out of ammo. "I don't know, maybe not all the tranquilizers are actually entering her bloodstream. It should be having an effect on her soon but we have to watch how much she gets, too high a dosage and we will end up killing this fine specimen."

"I don't care! You will shoot until she is down or dead. That's an order!"

"Well sir I can't, I ran out of ammo."

Clarke finally managed to reach the top of the cliff watching the commotion. Her eagle eyes quickly scouted the area and saw Lexa fighting ferociously. She quickly looked around and found a couple of guns laying on the ground near her. The nearest gun still had a hand attached to it but was missing the rest of the man's body. She lifted it up and pulled the hand off the gun before firing carefully making sure not to shoot Lexa. She quickly grabbed another gun and fired like a crazy woman at the enemy while running towards Lexa.

Lexa was just about to strike down another enemy when he suddenly dropped down dead. She glanced up and saw Clarke firing at the enemies while running in her direction. She growled when she saw a soldier running at Clarke with a knife, she leapt over Clarke and ripped his arm off before flinging it at his comrades who shrieked. The wolf became a shield for her mate from the spray of bullets that were coming their way. However, she was getting weary from her injuries and blood loss. She nudged Clarke with her head in attempt to make the blonde run but to no avail.

Clarke could see Lexa weakening. "Hold on Lex we will get out of this, please hold on." Clarke heard a loud whimper and watched as Lexa slumped on the ground, her wolf wasn't going to get up this time.

Three soldiers approached aiming their guns at Lexa , without thinking Clarke aimed her gun at the men, however quickly realized that she had ran out of ammo. With a scream she threw her gun at the men and covered her injured mate's head to shield her from the bullets that now pierced her skin. She screamed from the pain and checked to see that the commander didn't get hit and was relieved that she had protected Lexa from the men. Panic struck her when she realized Lexa wasn't breathing properly. Before she could try and help, gas canisters fell upon them. The last thing she remembered was seeing a pained Lexa and soldiers approaching them from all directions before slumping over Lexa in a protective manner.

 Clarke groggily opened her eyes and looked around, she didn't recognize her surroundings. Once the brain fog had passed she remembered what happened and quickly tried to move but noticed that she was chained to a wall in an empty medical lab. She started to panic and glanced around the room frantically trying to find a way out. Her panic subsided when she looked down and saw Lexa laying on a medical restrain bed with many medical appliances hooked up to her. Neither of them were in their old clothes, all they were wearing was garments which covered their modesty.

"Lexa, Lexa!" Clarke hissed. She didn't want to attract unwanted attention as there could be guards outside or cameras in the room. These people were technology advanced like the Ark was.

'Shit', she thought while thinking about her previous actions. However, it didn't seem to attract unwanted attention, luckily. Clarke stared at Lexa hoping she would wake up. She watched her chest rise and fall which seemed to soothe her. She closed her eyes and listened to the brunette's breathing before refocusing on a way to escape this terrible place. However, flashbacks from earlier events hit her hard. She told herself over and over that Lexa was right there and wasn't dead, she was just sedated and the machine was helping her to breath. She had to refocus her mind and find a way out so they could leave this hell hole.

Clarke looked around and saw a sharp instrument close to her foot. She tried to reach for it and was just about to get the instrument when she heard commotion outside.

"YOU IDIOT, DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH TRANQUILIZERS YOU PUT IN HER?!"

"Look she was slaughtering us, what did you expect us to do?"

"TO DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY INSTEAD OF BEING A BLOODY SAVAGE!"

"LOOK YOUNG LADY WE GOT HER HERE AND SHE IS ALIVE IS SHE NOT?"

"Just alive thanks to this medical team, if she was out there any longer she would have been dead. That many tranquilizers would probably kill that giant gorilla! One of those would of killed at least fifteen of your men."

"WELL THEY'RE NOT HUMAN ARE THEY DOC?"

"Yes they are, they are just different it does not mean we should kill them when we NEED THEM!"

"WE GOT TWO FOR YOU! If one died who bloody cares and the blonde one didn't need that many tranquilizers, the gas basically took her out."

Dr. Lorelei Tsing hurried to her lab with a smile on her face when she heard the news of having two very important specimens, she turned the corner and was about to open a door when she overheard a shouting match. She paused for a moment before entering the lab hallway.

"So the commander is stronger than the blonde that fell from the sky? How interesting. I wonder if it will stay that way. Did the blonde show any evidence of shifting?"

Emerson and Maya quickly stopped bickering when they saw Dr. Tsing standing there with her clipboard in hand.

"No, Clarke didn't shift and is a lot weaker than the other. The Commander was the only one that shifted and killed most of my men with ease like it was a bloody walk in the park." After a little pause Emerson added. "What do you need these abominations for? We should just wipe them all out. Instead of watching our own die."

Maya glared at the lieutenant. "Because moron, they hold the key that could allow us to walk on the Earth without wearing suits and we can finally be free of living in this prison forever."

Emerson whirled around and looked down at the girl with blazing eyes. "This prison has saved our people for thousands of years or have you forgotten that these walls and our technology keeps those monsters out, little girl? If it was up to me I would have killed both of them."

"Well it's not up to you!" Maya shouted at Emerson and started poking him in the chest.

Before the two could start fighting Dr. Tsing interrupted. "Maya! Stop poking the lieutenant and get back to work."

Maya glared at Emerson and looked at the older doctor ready to argue before she could even get a word out of her mouth Dr. Tsing pointed to the lab door firmly. Maya nodded and met a smug looking Emerson.

"Emerson I want you in my office now!" Dr. Tsing said and walked to her office.

Maya gave Emerson a smug look back when she saw the shock on his face and walked into the lab to check the vitals of the two patients.

Emerson gritted his teeth and headed to the doctor's office and took a seat.

Dr. Tsing sighed and rested her hand on his shoulder. "Carl I'm happy that you managed to bring both of those specimens in alive like I asked and I'm sorry that so many good men had to die for them, they will be missed dearly. I also apologies on behalf of my new apprentice Maya. What she did out there was unprofessional and disgraced everyone who works in this department, I promise you that she will be dealt with. She should respect what you do, as we both know, it isn't an easy job."

Carl nodded and patted her hand. "Lorelei, why is she even working for you? I'm sure there are better apprentices in here. She is too soft and cares more for those abominations than she does about her own people. Why don't you recruit Riley, you know if you asked her she wouldn't say no."

Dr. Tsing sighed and sat on the table. "It isn't easy finding an apprentice that is interested in experimental science. It's easier to recruit for your field as you get to go out and look at the wonders of world, be taught survival skills and get an adrenalin rush in the heat of battle. Put everything you have learnt in camp to good use, who doesn't want to do what you do Carl? Sure we have doctors but how many of them want to be in my field and do what needs to be done? Doctors can handle the screams that the wounds have caused them but no doctor wants to cause those screams. Angry soldiers might but their heads aren't in the right mindset, all they want to do is cause pain and suffering instead of actually focusing on the experimental part. Riley needs to decide what she wants to do, it's unfair for me to decide for her besides she is a free spirit and still a child in my eyes. Our children grow up too fast and I would like for her to be a child for a little longer and encourage her to learn new skills which she may need in the future."

Carl nodded in understanding. "We both have hard jobs and know what needs to be done to protect our people no matter the costs. I better get back to work and you better get back to your samples or whatever crazy scientists do." He smiled when he heard her chuckle.

He stood up and walked to the door before turning around. "Lorelei I will come back at 18:00 to pick you up for drinks."

Lorelei gave him a sad smile and nodded. "In remembrance of our friends."

Carl gave her a weak smile before leaving the room. He walked out of the labs and headed back to the intel room to get information on this new apprentice Maya, as she loved those abominations more than her own people. His eyes blazed with determination as he walked up the stairs, no one disrespects his men and if she even thinks of hurting Lorelei, her life would end. He entered the intel room and nodded at his most trusted soldiers before locking the door behind him. Apprentice Maya would soon have no secrets unturned without him knowing, he smirked and sat down on his chair.
