The next morning Clarke announced that Mount weather had been jamming Skaikru's communication system. There was some sort of communitarian tower that could stop that, I decided to accompany her along with Raven, Abby, Bellamy, Octavia, and some other guards.

Clarke had pulled Bellamy, Octavia, and I aside and informed us to go on a seperate mission. She sent us to find ways into Mount weather so we did.

I've been training Octavia for a while ever since I  got back from Mount weather, it seemed like a nice way to evade everything that was happening.

"So, Octavia, how have you been doing with that sword?" I askOctavia in attempts to start a genuine conversation.

"I'm actually getting pretty good, but I would get better if you stopped with the sword training and started with a hand to hand combat technique" Octavia's last two words are spoken fast as she rapidly turns around and pulls out her sword and aims for my neck.
I recognize the technique she's using as my own and I immediately block her sword with my own.

"Hmm, your getting faster" at this point her sword and my own crossed but I twist mine and cause her to lose her balance and fall over a bush. "But not fast enough" I tease as I lend her a helping hand. She takes it and stands up, "Maybe I'll make a warrior out of you yet" I say as I dust off the dirt from her back.

The smile that had formed on her face earlier immediately faded at my words. "Your brother used to say that to me" Octavia murmured as she kept walking. Seems that my attempts at getting over Lincoln's death were impossible as it was always brought up somehow.

Bellamy notices the change in the conversation, so he changes the topic "According to Clarke, there were bombs and buildings everywhere here" he points to all of the trees that surround us. I look around and find it impossible to believe that these woods I was currently walking in, used to be anything else but trees. "I'm guessing, some of them had access to the bunker" Bellamy adds.

"So technically we're just looking for ruins" I say as I kick at one of the pebbles on the ground. "I know where we can find one of those" I mutter quietly so no one hears me as I refer to polis, a city full of ruins and regret.

"Exactly, pretty much anything that's man made ok" Bellamy answers. Octavia and I nod in understanding.

"Hey Blake!" a voice shouts in the distance, it gets closer and it's 3 Skaikru guards approaching from the trees, "let's go right now" he adds firmly.

The 3 of us stop in our foot steps and turn around. "In case you've forgotten, we're not under your command" Bellamy reminds the man. I grip onto my sword and examine the two men, one of them seems to notice me as he holds onto his gun.

The man from before keeps talking "come on, don't make us do this the hard way."

"Come on, 47 of our people are prisoners in this mountain" Bellamy says trying to convince the man to let us go.
