her ears ringing is the first thing she noticed when she came to. she passed out when her body hit the ground. a missile. she remember the light and the sudden sound of it hitting.
the second thing she noticed was the smell of fire. she smelt the burning before she opened her eyes, the ringing fading. the cries of people in pain filled the burning area.
horns sounded as white horces pranced through the gates of tondc. azgeda. alex was by herself when she saw the people, quickly jogging over to her friends. she missed the fist part of indra's teachings, "now the twelve clans fight together. remember this day. you may never see one like it again." the woman looked at octavia.
she had a bored look on her face, eyes searching all over. "you haven't hear a word i've said."
"sorry," she apologized. "bellamy left lincoln in the tunnels two days ago, and he should be back--"
the women was cut off by indra. "lincoln is no longer your concern." the women grabber her sword from the wilder behind her as octavia spoke.
she replied, "look, i've done everything you've asked me to do, and i'll continue to do so, but what you're asking now is impossible."
"i'm not asking. we're at war, and a warrior does not mourn those she's lost till after the battle is won," indra concluded her argument. "alex has done it and now, so shall you."
octavia nodded before indra gave the girl an order. "go stand watch with the other seconds. assassins from the mountain will try again. we need to be ready."
the warrior walked away, leaving the warrior with training with alex. "forget he existed. you can't worry about lincoln right now."
she looked at her boyfriend's sister, "how do you do it?"
"easy. i've been trained my entire life to become a warrior, octavia. i was trained as a night blood in polis. i was taught these things from the moment i could understand." she handed her knife to the man, asking him to sharpen in.
she continued, "it'll take some time o, but you have to act like he wasn't ever there. bellamy too. you can't worry about him right now."
the younger girl gave a small laugh, "you make it sound so easy, my mockingjay." she joked with the girl.
alex grabbed her knife back from the man, nodding to him as a thanks. "well, that is because i am the amazing mockingjay, my youngon." (child.)
octavia smiled at the girl before walking off, leaving alex with her empty space. she walked towards the tent lexa was in.
