My Immortal

Chapt 12: Daring Escape

Kiran:

The moment I got back to camp, I advised Octavia not to eat any of the nuts. I passed her a small packet of dried meat and told her to hide it. She nodded, disappearing down the ladder, as I was left alone with Lincoln.

"Lincoln, just a few days, I promise. Mako has a plan and it's already in effect." I whispered, shifting close to him, holding up a piece of dried meat. "Eat, you need your strength."

He nodded and ate quietly, in his corner of the upper floor.

It took three days for the plan to unfold. Three days of never leaving Lincoln alone; three days of holding the idiots as bay, telling them that Lincoln was too weak to be questioned again.

I heard the commotion before I saw anything. Octavia came up the ladder, looking at me in near terror.

"What the hell did you give them? It's like the high and the crazy down there." She spoke quietly.

"I didn't do anything." I answered honestly. "It has to be the nuts."

"Jobi nuts." Lincoln spoke up, looking at the hatch. "When they go bad and are eaten or burned, they cause visions."

"Mako's distraction was of our own design. Nice. Come on Linc. Let's get you out of here." I offered him my hand to help him up. He took it, standing.

"Go directly to your home, Goddess will be waiting for you there. Be safe, Linc; you are far more important to the Goddess than you understand."

His eyes met mine, before he spoke up. "So are you, Kiran."

"Did you know this was going to happen? Did you plan this?" Octavia asked softly as she came up next to me. I shook my head.

"No idea. This is all Mako." I answered.

"Jasper thinks there are Grounders everywhere." Octavia spoke up, looking down the hatch. "He should be able to sneak out now."

Octavia slipped down the ladder, followed by Lincoln, with me going last. We quietly rushed him out the front gate and away from the chaos that was camp.

Mako:

I once more sat, perched, above the entrance to Lincoln's home. I watched, curiously, as a young woman made her way inside. She's clearly a Sky Child, which made me think that she must be Octavia. Not a moment later I watched Kiran come closer, dropping down next to her when she was finally in front of the cave.

"You have to stop doing that."

I simply smiled at her before moving inside. Stepping into the main area I saw them talking near the back wall. "This is the Sky Child I have heard so much about then. Octavia."

"Yes, Octavia Blake, her brother is one of the two in charge. The other is Clarke, she's pretty cool I guess. She might have been a friend in high school." She ducked into the room behind me. "Hello Lincoln, how is the healing going."

A crash filled the room as Octavia jumped and Lincoln whirled to face us. "Holy shit... Lincoln?" She was clearly afraid of me, clearly not expecting my appearance.

He knelt upon seeing me. "Goddess, this is the Sky Child I was talking about."

"Yes, Octavia."

Kiran leaned against the wall, smirking at everyone. "Kiran... What's going on? How did you get here? Who is this?"

"I followed you, Octavia, and her... well... How do I explain her?" She hesitated, looking around. "She's my friend, from a long time ago."
