"YOU ..."

A lovely couple by the name of Annie and Ben had been the ones to take Anakin and Foxx in. They had been separated from the rest of the sky people, in order to help keep them hidden and so they could survive.

"More tea?" Annie asked softly as she picked up the tea kettle and prepared to pour it into Foxxs cup. "Dear?"

Foxx nodded and smiled thankfully. "Thank you,"

"Of course." Ben spoke and eyed Anakin. He knew that he wasn't one of the delinquents, but a true outsider who had managed to get into the building. He didn't want to ask how, his family other than his wife, were for the draining of Anakins brothers and sisters.

A knock echoed though the home and Anakin jumped up from where he sat, pulling Foxx with him. Even if the people on the other side of the door were good, he couldn't risk it. He pulled the girl into the bed room and hid behind cover on the fireplace.

"Annie and Ben, how lovely to see you." Cage spoke, and Anakin knew who it was just by listening. It was the same person he had heard talk when the bodies form before had been drilled into. Cage noticed the two cups, but his eyes lingered on the two condensation rings that still were on the table. "Having tea?"

"We are, would you like to join us?" Ben spoke as he offered two cups to Cage and the guard who stood beside him.

Cage nodded and sat down, signing for the guard to sit before he took the filled cup of fresh tea. He sipped it, relaxing against the back of the couch. "Where are they?" He asked nonchalantly, lifting his gaze from the cup to the couple across from him.

"What do you mean?" Annie replied innocently, a fake smile plastered on her face. "I'm confused Mr. President, who are you looking for?"

"You know." Cage continued to drink the tea. "The members of the forty four. Where are they?"

Ben spoke this time, placing his hand on his his wife's knee and giving it a small squeeze. "No one's here."

Cage nodded at the guard, who pulled out his gun from his holster and pointed it at Annie, who instantly started to shed tears at what was happening.

Foxx shared a look with Anakin, and attempted to step out but he held her back. "We will all die." But Foxx wiggled herself out of his grasp and pushed the cover of the fireplace to the floor with a clank.

She went running out of the room, tears already in her eyes. "Don't hurt them! We won't fight if you don't hurt them."

Anakin took slow step towards Foxx, but ultimately he moved her behind him in a way that he wanted to protect her from everyone else. "Just like you're doing what you believe is right, so were they."

Cage smirked at the sight of Anakin. "Take them both." He spoke and the guard stepped up from the couch and put zip ties around both Foxx and Anakin's wrists.

And then two gun shots went off, and Anakin could feel the room behind him darken as both Annie and Ben died on their sofa. Everyone said that skaikru were the bringers of death, but death had been around for centuries. Anakin has been the one to be a bringer of death, it follows him like his shadow does.

"No!" Foxx cried out as she and Anakin were pushed away from the room.

" WAIT ... "

Everlee rushed out of the Ark, her arms clutching items to her chest as she hurriedly took many steps. "Wait! Octavia!" The girl she was calling for was leaving with many others from the Ark, who were on their way to fight the battle against the mountain men.

Octavia whirled around, black war paint across her face. She wore a more grounder looking attire, something that made Everlee grin at. She saw how at peace the Blake girl looked in her outfit. "Yes, Ev?"

"Can I come?" The question startled Octavia. Because why was the arks precious Everlee Sinclair; who was more than happy to share as much happiness as she could with everyone, wanting to go with Octavia and fight a war. "Please? I have more tone generators!"

Octavia glanced around for the older Sinclair, wondering what he would say if he saw his daughter standing at the gate waiting to go with the others. "Is your dad —"

"My dad can't decide. This is a me choice, and I'm choosing to go." Everlee informed the girl with a smile, and although she typically wanted Octavia to say 'yeah you can join us' she walked further away from the gate and to where others were walking.

Slightly baffled, Octavia took quick steps down she was walking beside the girl, who was handing out tone generators as she passed a few other members of skaikru. Even handing one to a grounder who was definitely three heads taller than her and with a much scarier build that should have made her want to step away.

Humming, Everlee fell back into step beside Octavia. She wore no weapons, besides a single tone generator, if she could even count that as a tone generator. "You know," Everlee started, turning her head towards Octavia so she could look at her. "I couldn't just stay back home, even when my dad had told me that I couldn't go with Raven and Wick. I just wanna help."

Octavia reached out and bumped her shoulder with Everlees. "We've got this."
