I'm awoken to the sunlight shining in my face and I groan, rolling over. My arm hits the mattress and I jump up in confusion, frowning at the empty place beside me in bed.

"Bell?" I croak, coughing to clear my throat.

"Babe?" I try again but still get no answer.

Assuming that he's probably training, I decide to get out of bed and get ready for the day. After brushing my teeth and pulling my hair into a couple French braids, I slip on some clothes and my boots.

I exit the room and take a stroll towards the training room. As I reach the door, I hear the sounds of female laughter and a smile tugs at my lips when I spot Nova and Octavia laughing as they spar.

I watch in silence as the green eyed grounder trips Octavia up and slams her onto the mat. A giggle slips out my lips and they both snap their heads to me, grinning when they realise it's me.

"A!" Octavia squeaks, pushing Nova off her "Join us"

"Have either of you seen Bellamy today?" I ask them curiously as I walk towards them.

"Not today, no" Octavia shakes her head and I look to Nova who shrugs "Nope"

"Is something wrong?" The young grounder asks me in concern.

"He just wasn't there when I woke up is all. It was weird" I answer with a soft shrug.

"Don't worry about it too much, A. I'm sure he's fine" Octavia tries to assure me.

"I don't know, O" I sigh "He's really beating himself up about the Mount Weather explosion. He blames himself for them dying"

"It wasn't his fault" Nova frowns and I nods.

"I know, and I've tried to tell him that but he won't hear it" I explain in frustration "I don't know what to do anymore"

"There's nothing you can do" Nova assures me "He needs to forgive himself, or understand he wasn't at fault"

I nod in understanding and Octavia throws her arm around me.

"How about we take your mind off my brother, huh?" She smiles warmly.

"Yeah, thanks" I grin gratefully.

I'm suddenly swept off my feet and I hit the ground with a thud. Both girls burst out laughing and Nova high fives Octavia, causing me to glare at them playfully.

I jump up onto my feet and push Octavia who stumbles backwards, shooting me a sharp look to which I smirk widely.

"Oh, it's on" She chuckles.

The dark haired girl lunges at me and I squeal as I'm tackled to the ground. I push the girl off me and scramble to my feet, getting into a fighting stance.

She drags herself up and swings her fist at me. I dodge the punch and move forward, socking her in the face. The younger Blake stumbles backwards and Nova chuckles, making me grin.

Octavia throws punch after punch at me, but I manage to block or dodge them all and punch her in the gut. She doubles over in pain and I sweep her feet from under her, laughing as her ass hits the ground.

"Hush up, Steele" Octavia huffs.

"Maybe next time, Blake" I grin smugly and she flips me her middle finger.

Before I can recover from my laughing fit, I feel a fist hit my face and my head whips to the side.

"You bitch" I gasp and Nova smirks widely, throwing her fist at me again as Octavia laughs.

I catch her fist and knee her in the gut. Using her pain as a distraction, I push her backwards and kick my leg up at her chest. She catches my ankle and my eyes widen, making the grounder smirk once again.

In one swift move, she yanks on my leg and I fall flat on my ass. A groan of pain leaves my lips and the girls laugh at me in amusement.

"Let's take a break" Nova suggests, throwing me a flask.

I nod, opening the top and chugging down the water greedily. The girls sit down next to me, drinking from their own flasks and I sigh in satisfaction, screwing the lid closed.

"So, how was Polis?" Octavia asks curiously.

"It was different" I shrug "I met a lot of really nice people and had a good time, but I missed you guys"

"Indra told me about the whole Wanlida thing" Nova mentions and I nod.

"Yeah, that's been weird. I mean, I'm literally an angel of death, yet people seem to like me more for it" I explain in confusion.

"I think it's cool" Octavia says with a smile "My big sister is all powerful and shit"

I laugh, shaking my head and Nova rolls her eyes with a small smile. We fall into a comfortable silence and I bring my legs up to my chest to lay my chin on my knees.

"Lexa offered me a place in Polis, with Clarke" I admit.

"Really?" Octavia gasps.

"What did you say?" Nova asks in surprise.

"Thanks, but no thanks" I shrug simply "I wanna be at Arkadia with Bellamy and you guys"

They both smile at me warmly and I roll my eyes with a grin on my face.

"More practice?" Nova suggests.

Octavia and I share a grin before jumping onto our feet.
