*I'm not dying today y/n; chapter 38

i felt the blood start to dry from all the heat surrounding me as my eyes searched frantically around me, trying desperately to find my bestfriend. i didn't notice what direction that octavia got sent into from the blow the missile but i wasn't going to give up until i found her. hearing groaning from a near piece of rubble i bent down and used as much strength as i possible for the piece of concrete to life and for me to see a glimpse of dark hair and tan skin. 'octavia' my eyes widen seeing her forehead was bleeding and from where i could see there was a gash across her forehead.

using my knees i attempted to lift the heavy platform again only for it to crumble in half and the piece that fell off landed on Octavia's gut "Jesus y/n, get me out of here" she groaned and i nodded frantically despite her eyes being closed and the incoherent sounds that escaped her lips. pushing the piece of rubble that i was still holding aside and searching around me as well as i could in the blazing heat. despite it not burning me it was still HOT.seeing a loose metal pole i made fast work of grabbing it and lodging it under the block of concrete at where O's hip would be 'don't give up on me O' i heard her grunt "I'm not dying today y/n" she got out between gritted teeth as the pole started to bend down and the rubble started to lift until i could flip it off of her and i heard octavia take large gulps of air.

i dropped the metal and collapsed next to her, bringing my hands straight to her face. panting breaths escaped my mouth as i examined her. "my leg is stuck" she grumbled and her face cringed as she shifted. "do you need some help?" i heard a familiar voice from behind me and i felt a small smile spread to my lips as i turned my head to look over my shoulder 'yes zell, that would be great' she nodded and came around so she was behind octavia "how do you want to do this?" she asked 'grab her shoulders and start pulling, i'll try and get the rubble off of her leg' she nodded and crouched down to pry her hands underneath octavia and hooked them under her armpits before starting to pull.

"ow, ow, ow, owwww" octavia groaned out as she pulled and i moved my hands near Octavia's leg and buried my hands under the rubble and soon enough Octavia's leg was free and zell successfully slid O out from the little ditch she'd been sent into. zell fell backwards and octavia fell between her legs on her back, both heaving for breath, it's not that octavia was heavy but the unnecessary heat around us and coal in the air made it harder to breath. "have you seen Theo?" i heard zell pant out as i stood up from the kneeling position i was in. i looked at zell with worry on my face and shook my head 'no' and she visibly deflated "we'll find him zell, don't worry" octavia reassured and i sent her a smile as zell nodded to herself convincingly.

"we still have people to find, we can't wait around" octavia said, attempting to stand but staggering a bit and my arms flew out to catch her "I'm fine" she breathed out and i nodded and let go of her. "she's right, Theo is still lost in the rubble most likely" zell nodded. "are you guys alright?" someone asked slightly out of breath causing all of us to turn and face them. nyko and Abby were standing there with dust covering their faces along with a few scratches littered, still trickling blood. "thank god your alright" octavia breathed, her breathing still slightly labored from the explosion."yes, we're alright, thank you" zell said with a nod and started speaking to nyko. "there are still hundreds lost in the wreckage"Abby said looking around her at the destroyed village.

third point of view

people were frantically running around either trying to avoid the flames still burning on the surrounding forest, the broken shacks and huts, people screamed as their injuries made themselves known and loved ones were found. it was all a mess. rain started gently sprinkling down. nyko and Abby rushed to pull people out of the rubble "its no use!" nyko grumbles out loudly and Abby looks at him "she's still alive" she snapped, trying to slow the bleeding down on the girl they had pulled out from under the wreckage "we saved those who can be saved" he reasons and stands with a sigh, walking away to go try and save some others while Abby stayed crouched next to the girl "I'm so sorry" she whispers, the girls eyes no longer hold life as Abby stands and follows in nykos direction. people were at work lifting and chucking rubble out of the way in order to save those who pleads for help could be heard. y/n and octavia worked on trying to move some stiff charked planks that fallen over, no longer being able to support the weight of buildings.
