Outside the bunker, the sun was rising. My eyes scanned the area seeing some people not even batting an eye towards Octavia but members of Trikru bowing when they saw Lexa. I followed behind the two when they stop. I stop a foot away before feeling a hand on my shoulder. I glance over my shoulder and lock eyes with Indra.
"Indra," I whisper and feel the warrior pull me into a hug with one arm. I wrap my arms around her.
"It's good to see you," Indra whispers into my ear. I separate my lips ready to speak but Indra beats me to it. "This isn't going to be good..." Indra pulls away and I look to her. Her eyes aren't on me, rather past me. I turn and follow her eyes to spot Lexa and Octavia looking around.
"Indra-" The warrior puts up her hand then pats my shoulder before walking away from me towards Lexa and Octavia. Lexa and the warrior exchange words and I could have swore I seen a small smile on Lexa's lips as she saw Indra again. I couldn't help but feel a small smile trickle to my own lips looking at the commander. But it fades as I drop my head and walk over.
"Word has spread about our defeat in the wasteland. Diyoza's firepower has crippled us. The soil here is dead. I don't care how much it rains, it won't be arable for years. And, as you know, the hydrofarm can barely produce enough--"
"Stop it. We have faced worse odds than this," Octavia cuts off the woman speaking. I didn't really recognize the woman but she seemed important to Octavia. I, on the other hand stayed beside Indra.
"Yes, but now we know the warning signs of rebellion. I once betrayed you when you were vulnurable, when Wonkru was living in fear. Look around you. It will happen again unless you take control," the woman said Octavia looking to her. I tilt my head confused. What the hell is Wonkru?
"Wonkru?" I say out loud causing Octavia and the woman to look at me. I want to look away but can't bring myself too as Octavia turns her body towards me, keeping our eyes locked. However out of the corner of my eye I can see Lexa looking to me and Indra with a worried expression.
"Wonkru is for every clan that was placed in the bunker," Octavia begins. "We weren't just Skaikru, Trikru, Azgeda... We were one clan. We are one clan." D "You aren't our Heda!" Someone from the crowd shouts. All of our eyes look around. WIMore people begin to shout it, a larger crowd rcgathering. But I look away from them and to Octavia and Lexa. Lexa's eyes glance around but Octavia looked pissed. But she says nothing instead walks over and grabs a weapon from a guard and walks over to some guy swiping the sword across his neck. My eyes go wide as blood pours out and his head drops. Everyone goes silent taking a step back.
"Enough!" Octavia shouts turning and looking to everyone. Her eyes scan the crowd one by one. No one talked, only looked to Octavia. And I seen her lips separate ready to speak but she closes them just as fast and tilting her head to the side. "You know what fine? You want her to be your Heda than so be it-" A round of cheers echo around us but the look in Octavia's eyes was throwing me off. "She can reclaim her title if she wins."
