CHAPTER 5 ⚄

Argos was perched upon a tree as he kept looking at the four Grounders that guarded the bridge, So far he was completely aware of their habits and one of them was to report immediately of one of them goes missing. He saw it happen. two days ago so he only had one choice now. take all four of them.

Since he did not make his own hideout yet, he will have to take them back to the camp. The bunker was occupied by the lovey-dovey ClarFinn so he could not do anything about that. And a certain small fly named Octavia was buzzing around him whenever he was in camp so he has been away for the camp for three days and it's better that way.

'Alright! you are up my new experiment' thought Argos as he took out a small vial that had some dark purple-colored liquid inside it. He threw it directly between the four Grounders and the liquid magically committed into a huge smoke,

"Gggarrhh"

"Bubububu"

"Don't open eyes"

"Enemy"

In little to no time, Argos closed the distance of 100 meters between him and the grounders and easily took them out with a slash to each other leg tendons. He tied them up and took them with him,

'I just hope that you guys have some info on the mountain men' Thought Argos as he was tired of living in this environment Nd wanted to get out of here at all cost. As for murphy, he could not care less where Murphy was at the moment.

The fact that Argos now knew that these guys were not the mountain Men was because he once again saw the board in his sleep and he did not receive a kill for the guy he killed before.

Over these two to three days of his traveling, he had made a bow for himself along with some arrows that had a tooth for steel bolts at the end.

After a half a day of carrying them or more like dragging them through mud.. he reached the camp and was surprised to see that the camp was now more defendable then ever.

'guess these guys are not as hopeless as I thought' he thought.

"Oye you are back and here we thought you might have been eaten by those fucking grounders or something" as soon as he entered the camp he was greeted by the ridiculing words of a nobody that he would not care about

"Ohiooohhoo! let's see what the hunter hunted this time " another Caucasian looking guy came forward and removed the black cover from what he thought was some kind of animal that Argo hunted for them but what escaped his mouth was a scream that alerted all the campers.

"GROUNDERRRR! IT-ITS A GROUNDER"

Soon everyone came running towards them and everyone gathered

"Gasp!! is that a grounder..."

"Who caught it "

"I think its Argo,"

"Let's kill me, yeah"

After a moment or two Bellamy and Clarke came running along with the other members that had tried to go mount weather before.

After some time the grounders we're stripped of their belonging which was only their clothes since Argos took their bows and swords for himself. He was told by the others that they have been attacked by the grounders whenever they go outside the camp for the last two days. though Bellamy was more than happy to see Argo die since he had his teeth bashed in by him before.

"Gaaaaaarhghhghh, hah haha" the grounders were imprisoned on the. the upper part of the ship or whatever it was that landed them in this godforsaken place. it seemed taht one of the grounders had woken up and was lashing out wildly trying to break the chains.

Bellamy and Clarke along with the others made their way upstairs to interrogate the grounders and get some intel from them, things like where they were hiding, how many of them are there, who are they but all they received was a chuckle from the grounders.

"This is taking us nowhere, hold my beer"

Argos said metaphorically as he walked up to the three people who did not look so scary anymore with their armor off

There were three principles to make someone talk or agree to your and your demands

Greed, Fear and love

Argos could not use greed as he did not know what the grounders wanted anyway aside from the fact that this camping place which they had set up was the area of the grounders.

He could not use fear as well since they already did not speak even after having their fingers cut off so the only principle left was the great love

Argos took a dagger that belonged to the grounders and took out a small vial that he had hidden under his shirt, It had slight green substance in it, he poured onto the blade and came towards the grounders

"What are you trying to do" Said Clarke but Argos ignored her and proceeded with his actions

he looked at the three of them and then eyes who looked like the youngest among the three, he looked like a teenager. Argos slashed the blade at him which caused the two other grounders to scream at him in anger

Argos had noticed before that everyone was a little conflicted with harming the teenager grounder and he thinks its because the boy looks to be just like them but Argos had no problem with that. All he needed was answers and this time he would not be the one to talk first.

Soon enough the boy started to toss left and right in pain and suffering after four minutes half the ark people could not take it anymore and decided to leave leaving only Bellamy and him behind them.

"What dod you doe to my san" (my impression of a bad English accent)

Said one of the grounders in a broken English taht surprised Bellamy.

"So now you are talking huh!! Well I could tell you, I just gave him some poison that burns the neurons at an incredible rate but does not kill them, I have the antidote with me, if you agree to answer my questions I will give the antidote to him and promise you that I will let him go "

The grounder kept looking at his supposed son tossing left and right in pain and could not help but show horror at the quickly blackening skin of his son.

Argos knew that he did not want to answer them but he also knew that at this moment the man was weak....as weak as he had been when he was killed. Family is a real bane for people like himself and this man. Argos gave some questions hoping that the man would answer some of them

"Why are you killing my people? Who are you, people? Who are the mountain men and where can one find them" said Argos

"Where are your people hiding and how many of them are there?" asked Bellamy as well

The man looked at Argo with so much anger that he might just kill him with his hate-filled sight

==================

ARGOS POV:-

Argos faced the man's rage-filled face head-on and did not flinch

"The trikru will have your head for this, You come to our land your fire burns our village and food and yet you expect us to sit down, You use the weapons that belong to the men of the mountain yet you expect us to leave you alone"

'Hmmm.....So these grounders call themselves trikru people as in the tree people, hah nice, it looks like during the entrance of our ship their village was burned from our ships fire somehow or whatever though this man did not give me straight answers by he did tell me everything' I nodded to myself as I took some water from my bottle and gave it to the writhing boy and soon enough he stopped moving and became unconscious

"And where are these mountain men located to be exact," I said with a small smile on my face

The man grunted at me but a look at the dagger in my hand and his broken son that was barely hanging onto his life made him sigh as he snarled at me and said.

"On the other side of that river, the place where I threw a spear at you"

This made me a little surprised as I had thought that I had killed the guy..maybe I missed.

I took the small. boy with me while I told Bellamy he could do whatever he wanted to the men he wanted, he tried to protest saying that he might report back to their people about us but I made him shut up by telling him that they already had murphy and probably know more about us than we do ourselves.

I took all the weapons I thought I needed for my search of these men of the mountain and finally end this trip once and for all Staying in a post-apocalyptic world was really nerve-wracking.

Once I made my way back outside the camp and was far away I killed the damned bit as he would not survive any longer because of the effects of the poison anyway. I really did not have any permanent cure

=========================

Yup I am back
