Chapter 5: New Teacher
The next morning the three met up at five am and waited in the old classroom that Pike had been using.
"So, what are we telling them exactly?" Abby asked wondering if they were telling these kids the full story or just let Damon handle all of that.
"We tell them that they have a new teacher and let Damon handle the rest. He deserves it for not letting me get any rest last night." Jaha joked though he wasn't really joking.
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep at all knowing someone knows my entire future. It's kind of disturbing. Like how did we die? What decisions did we make that made him so angry?" Abby fired off a few questions that had plagued her mind last night.
"I couldn't sleep knowing my mother had died in the future," Marcus muttered.
"Feeling guilty for always acting like a jackass?" Abby asked and Marcus just clicked his tongue though he couldn't deny it.
Swoosh
They all stopped talking as the classroom door opened up and all of the kids entered the room in a single file before sitting down.
"Pike will no longer be your earth skills teacher as a new teacher will be taking his place. This new teacher is dangerous and anything you do to piss him off will be your fault and you will have to face the consequences alone." Jaha said while trying to make them a little scared of Damon so that they didn't piss him off too bad.
He also looked at his son Wells who he had talked to that morning telling him the full story about how they were sending them to the ground.
He asked Well's if he wanted to go to the ground with Clarke and he agreed so he would be joining the training.
Abby looked at the kid's faces who seemed confused and uninterested before looking at her daughter who still seemed surprised to have been let out of confinement and was looking at all the other kids with interest.
Abby hadn't told Clarke about the situation and would let Damon handle it as she still felt guilty and sad for getting her husband floated.
Damon POV
"Thing 1, what time is it?" Damon asked while standing in the middle of the huge metal room that was his current home on the ark.
"5:59 Sir" Thing 1 Responded with its usual tone.
Damon stood waiting still wearing his black leather pants along with his large fur coat that allowed others to still catch glimpses of his chiseled abs and massive chest though hiding his arms the size of bowling balls.
On his back he still wore his black sword that was grounder style and, on his waist, sat his black dagger.
Finally, a minute later Damon heard the sounds of many footsteps before seeing the first few faces of the 100 step into view all looking around curiously before looking at him.
"Line up in ten rows of ten. Two rows will have one extra person." Damon said and all the kids followed his orders, though very slowly as it took them forever to get lined up.
Finally, all of the kids were lined up neatly and he saw many faces that he recognized all looking at him confused.
All of them looked so young and so naive. The way they stood and looked around reeked the scent of prey.
He would need to take these innocent children and turn them into warriors with enough ferocity that when a grounder looked at them, they didn't just see a weak little child but a monster.
"As I'm sure they told you before you came here, I will be your new teacher," Damon said while holding his hands behind his back.
"They didn't tell us our teacher was a boy whose balls hadn't dropped yet." A young man's voice sounded out making almost everyone burst into laughter.
Damon chuckled while looking at the person who spoke.
Of course, it was none other than John Murphy.
"John Murphy. Father died stealing medicine to save you and Mother drank herself to death only for you to get locked up." Damon said, causing all of the laughing to stop and Murphy to frown.
"I'm out of here," Murphy said while walking toward the door.
"Then I guess you won't ever touch the ground."
Murphy stopped and turned around.
"What do you mean?"
