《Fallen: b.b (book 1) REWRITING》chapter thirty- four
Advertisement
The 47 began barricading themselves, collecting weapons and anything they need. Anastasia was finally handed one of the guns that belonged to the guards.
"Jasper, where do you want this?" Miller asked carrying in the base of the bunks.
"Put it here" Jasper responded pointing over to the distances, "no weak spots" he explained as he walked in front closing the door, as Miller set the bunk against it, "We need to make sure they don't get in"
"They won't" Miller replied.
"We took the level, but now we have to hold it!" Jasper shouted so everyone can hear, "They will be coming, and we need to be ready" Jasper began commanding orders, "Ana! I need you to make sure the guns are working and then distribute" he barked as she nodded following him like a solider as she passed out the guns to Monty and Harper.
"None left for me?" Miller questioned walking over to her.
Anastasia reached down picking up a baseball bat that's been mislaid, "You know I think this is actually calling your name" she joked as he took it tightening his grip up it.
"You know I think your right" he nodded with a slight chuckle before he dropped it back on the table, "Ready?" He questioned.
"I guess, we haven't fought like this since the grounder attack" she explained, "and we saw how well that turned out" Anastasia whispered.
"Everything is going to be just fine" Miller sympathized.
"Ana, Miller!" Jasper called out waving them over. Anastasia picked up her gun and walked over to the column that Jasper had placed himself at, "We believe that they will not bring lethal weapons but that doesn't mean we will go any easier on them" he explained.
The elevator door was blasted open causing a loud bang to radiate into the room.
"We are not ready for this" Fox came up to him.
"Yes we are, just follow the plan" Jasper replied, "We'll be okay I promise" he added with a smile as Fox nodded walking off.
Monty strutted over with his screen showing the live feed from the hallways, "No guns" he stated as they became clear, "You were right" he added.
"It's because they can't kill us" Jasper spoke up, "Not like this anyways" he retorted.
"Be careful with that thing" Anastasia remarked to Harper, inferring the gun in her hand, "We're in close, you could hit one of us" she added a Harper nodded.
"Wait a second" Monty chirped in, "Some of them aren't wearing hazmat suits" he remarked looking down at the screen.
"What's it mean?" Miller asked
"It means they're cured" Anastasia replied, "Marrow treatments work" she added.
The guards moved in as they banged into the doors, before opening them up. Red smoke entered the room, as Jasper quickly informed the others to follow the plan. They picked up the smoke bombs placing them in the buckets of water that Harper brought, while the rest faked unconscious. The guards destroyed the barricade and rushed into the room where they found all of them unconscious.
One of the guards reached into the buckets of water and found the smoke bomb as Jasper jumped up slashing a guard in the leg. While Anastasia turned around shooting the guard that stood over her, aiming at the others. She took down two more before the leader called for them to retreat as the ones, that were still mobile and alive, did.
The 47 cheered as they watched them hobble back, "We did it!" Jasper cheered, "Seal the barricade!" Faint screams could be heard from the hallway getting everyone's attention, "Fox" Jasper yelled as he tried to go after her.

"No" Miller stopped him.
"I told her she'd be okay" Jasper lamented, "I promised her" he said as in the background one of the guards that were still in the room began to regain consciousness. Monty showed him the feed of Fox being dragged by the guards as she called out for Jasper. Jasper tightened his grip on his axe looking maliciously at the guard in the hazmat suit leaned up.
"Jasper" Anastasia looked back at him trying to calm him down, "Don't" she commanded, "We can use him" she claimed but Jasper pushed past her slamming his axe into the body as blood spewed up to his face, "Jasper!" She screamed as all the others were watching him.
"Let's move the bodies" Jasper commanded, "We need to get it together before they come back" he claimed as he nodded and they began moving, dragging the bodies towards a closet, collecting the weapons, and re-barricading the door.
"Jasper" Anastasia called him name again, "I think you need to take a break" she claimed as he turned around to meet her eyes.
"I'm fine" He stated, "I don't remember you hesitating to fire off your gun when it came to it" he fired back at her, walking away from her, towards the equipment.
Anastasia followed him in silence as she checked the number of bullets she has left. Jasper held this power over everyone, Anastasia was no longer the leader of them and that was obvious, now Jasper held all the power.
She had finally gotten what she always wanted, Anastasia was clear of having the weight on her shoulders. Even though this was her wish, she felt lost without it. She didn't know how to be a follower, how to watch someone give the commands. Anastasia couldn't understand who she was anymore.
"They're gonna come in harder next time" Miller retorted walking over to the group, "You know that right?" He rhetorically questioned.
"All we got to do is hold the floor till Bellamy finds a way out" Jasper replied.
"We're going to need more than a bucket of water and about 4 guns to do that" Miller retorted.
The one single walkie they managed to retain, buzzed to life as a voice came through clear, "This is President Wallace" the voice came through choppy, as Cage Wallace, Dante's son was now speaking to them, "Talking to the people who just killed 10 of my men" he finished, three of those were on Anastasia hands, "I thought we try something different this time" he said as Monty walked over to them showing the feed from the elevators as a people dressed in a hazmat was being held at gun point into the hallway, "There's only 20 minutes of oxygen in Maya's suit" he spoke, "I know he's a friend of yours, she will either suffocate or burn" Jasper began to tense up, "But you can save her, all you have to do is surrender" Cage finished as the elevator door closed locking Maya in the radiated level.
Jasper led Maya into the room after they un-barricaded the doors because Mount Weather already pulled their move. He put her down at the piano, sitting next to her. As the others found their way to hang about, there was nothing all of them couldn't do, their fate relied on two people, Jasper and Maya.
"Hey, you okay" Jasper asked her when she sat down. Monty quickly joined by Anastasia, who crouched in front of her.
"Listen to me" Maya plead as her voice fogged up the suit, "Fox is ok" she stated her message, "Bellamy saved her" she continued looking towards Anastasia, "He's going get some guns in here through the trash chute"

"If we can get guns in, we can get you out" Jasper threw out. Maya smiled nodding her head.
"No, we can't" Monty discouraged, "I dismantled the chute" he explained, "I'm sorry" he lamented noticing their faces turn from happy to sad, "I didn't think we'd be trying to open it ourselves" he tried to prove his actions. He quickly stop, placing a hand on Maya uttering "I can fix it" as Monty stepped up walking away.
"Go help him" he called to Miller.
"Harper" Miller shouted walking in Monty's direction.
"Ana, go too" Jasper said noticing the girl still by their side. She complied knowing that it wasn't because she was needed, Anastasia couldn't figure out how to fix the trash chute even if she was given the instructions. Jasper sent her off so that he could get alone time with Maya, because if she was to die this would be the last moments they have together, even if they didn't want to admit the collapsing of a bitter end.
"He shooed you off too" Miller stated when Anastasia showed up to the group that was forming around the trash chute. Anastasia nodded as Monty began giving orders.
"Ana can you get me that my screen, and the walkie?" Monty asked pointing towards the table. She rushed bringing it back and handed it to him, "So i guess if I can get this to work, not only Maya can get out, all of us, which means we might meet up with Bellamy sooner than later" he said when Anastasia arrived back.
"Yeah, I guess" she breathed out the thought now filling up her brain.
"I mean that's good" he blankly added.
"Yeah" Anastasia once again bluntly replied, taking a seat next to the console he was messing with.
"Don't tell me you're not happy that you're going to see him again" Monty prayed, "I mean after you cried for days when you thought he was dead, and now he's alive, and standing right passed this chute" he explained.
"It's not that I'm not happy" Anastasia explained, "I just know everything going to be different, but I don't know how different" she put, as Monty nodded.
"Nothing's going to be that different, you're Bell and Ana" Monty put lightly.
"We don't know that for sure" She replied, "It's been months and I know that I'm different, and Bellamy is..."
"Bellamy is what?" Miller questioned arriving back with the supplies as did Harper.
"Bellamy is waiting" Anastasia finished standing up, "So we better stop distracting Monty and help him" she added clearing her throat as Miller gave her an incredulous look.
They watched Monty work in silence, giving him everything he needed. Jasper and Maya eventually met them at the trash chute, her heavy breathing becoming more and more clear as time passed.
"She's almost out of oxygen" Harper stated looking at the clock tick by, "It's been 19 minutes" she added
"Not helping, Harper" Maya breathed out her breath fogging up the screen as she could barely make out the words. Anastasia couldn't help but chuckle at Maya's glaring comment, that shut Harper up.
"Don't worry" Jasper combatted, "We'll get it open, won't we, Monty?" He asked his friend as Monty was still going at the panel with a screwdriver.
"Almost there" Monty replied.
"Almost isn't good enough" Miller retorted back.
"You're not helping either, Miller" Anastasia stated, looking over to him.
"I just need to bypass" Monty began before a spark made him drop the screwdriver, "Oh screw this" he ripped the cords out of the panel.
"What the hell did you do?" Miller questioned him.
"Cut the power to the motor" Monty retorted looking back at him, "Help me" he nodded over as Miller helped him begin to pull at the chute their efforts being useless, "We can't get leverage" he complained. There was pounding from the other side that wasn't the effect of Monty and Miller pulling at it.
"There's someone in there" Anastasia explained pointing at the pounding that was getting louder she began stepping back grabbing the gun that she laid against the wall.
"They're coming in!" Jasper yelled as he held up a gun, Anastasia was trained on the chute as it fell open to reveal Bellamy in a guard uniform.
"Bellamy" she stated dropping the gun. He gave her a glance before moving his attention to Maya.
"Get her in here!" Bellamy urged as they pushed Maya into the chute as Jasper followed closely behind before the chute shut.
"Everybody!" Anastasia shouted, as everyone followed towards the chute, "We're getting out of here"
The chute opened once again this time it was being held up by Monty and Miller as the group slid through the chute going into one end and coming out of the other. Monty went in after the rest, leaving Miller and Anastasia.
"Go" Miller said nodding to Anastasia
"No, you go and I'll slid through before it closes" Anastasia countered.
"You're crazy" Miller said.
"Just give me the door" Anastasia uttered grabbing it pushing Miller through as she pushed the chute door completely open hearing the bang come through and heavy footsteps. The guards were here. She quickly jumped through the closing chute and slid down into a metal box, as white smoke billowed over her.
"Cutting it pretty close, huh, princess" she heard Bellamy say lending her, his hand. He helped her out of the box where the others were standing.
"You know me" she joked meeting his eyes, it had been so long since she has seen his face, "So are guard uniforms are your choice of outfits" she joked noticing that once again they met with him in a guard uniform.
"I thought i wouldn't ever see you again" Bellamy broke the small talk pulling her into a tight hug. She laced onto him, she needed this more than anything.
"Guys, we should go" Jasper broke the silence looking outside of the door.
"We should" Anastasia answered pushing Bellamy away, "I barely got out, they were already breaking into the room when I left" she explained.
"Okay, everyone follow me" Bellamy commanded he led the group of the room and into the vacant hallways, "It's all clear" Bellamy confirmed as the group followed behind him.
"Won't they see us" Jasper questioned as they entered the main hallway.
"Relax, Maya took out of the cameras" Bellamy cleared up.
"Yeah, well we're still sitting ducks in a group like this" Miller retorted.
"You're right" Bellamy agreed, "So we're going to split" he confessed. Monty grabbed Bellamy's shoulder pulling him back.
"No, we do this together" Monty fired back, "We survive together" the group had stopped in the middle of the hallway.
"Bellamy's right" Jasper countered
"Well, they don't trust Maya, anymore" Miller stated.
"Who the hell is gonna help us now?" Anastasia questioned. Bellamy nodded his head to the side as he started walking them leading them down a corner as he turned it to reveal Maya standing amongst other members of Mount Weather.
"We're going to hide you" Maya spoke, "Not everyone agrees with Cage, not by a long shot" she stated. As a guy from the pack waved them over.
"Come with me" he said, "We'll divide you along the way" the mass followed him as they led them down the corner welcoming the 47.
"Hey, we're coming with you" Jasper said as Monty, Jasper and Anastasia stayed behind.
"No, you're not" Bellamy disagreed, "They still don't know I'm here, and I need it to keep it that way" he explained.
"So what do we do?" Anastasia questioned him.
"Stay alive" he replied, "War is coming" he uttered and with that he was gone.
"Ana, we have to go" Monty said tapping her shoulder.
"Yeah, I know" she replied turning towards them as the ran to catch up with the others.
