Since Day One

Part 36. TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Octavia, Indra and I found a cave right on the edge of the Blockade. Indra was injured so she couldn't do much.

"Octavia, Octavia come in." Miller spoke over the radio.

"I'm here, what's wrong." Octavia asked.

"Bellamy wants to talk, Lincoln's life is in danger, so is Kane and Sinclair's. Says meet him at the dropship if you want to help." Miller spoke over the radio.

"Ok, thanks." Octavia said before shutting off the radio.

She looked at Indra and I.

"I say she knocks him out and brings him here." I suggested.

"I agree." Octavia responded.

"What if it's a trap." Indra inferred.

"He's her brother, he'll do anything to protect her." I explained.

I nodded to Octavia and she left the cave.

"This war is inevitable Bela, I would like to know whose side you're on" Indra said when Octavia was out of sight.

"My family is my people Indra, not Skaikru, not Trikru. Lincoln and Lexa, whatever side keeps them both alive, that's the one I choose."
I explained to her.

"And if it's the wrong side?" Indra argued.

"If I get to keep my family alive, I didn't choose the wrong side." I answered her.

"So you're willing to let hundreds of people die, just for 2?" Indra asked.

"Indra, Lexas my sister, i swore to protect her, you did too when she became the commander." Indra seemed to understand my reasoning, "and Lincoln, he gave me shelter and love when I had no one to run to." I added.

"So yes, i would sacrifice everything to keep them alive." I finished.

"That's not what I taught you." Indra told me as she sat on the floor.

"Well I'm sorry your teachings didn't stick with me." I answered.

————————————

It had gotten dark now and it's been hours since Octavia hadn't come back.

"She should be back by now." I said worried.

"It was a trap, it had to be, that's why she's taking so long." Indra rapidly put together.

"No, no Bellamy wouldn't do that." I knew Bellamy had gone for off the edge but I knew he wouldn't hurt his sister.

Almost immediately Octavia came in the cave with her horse.

"A little help her." Octavia said as she jumped off.

I saw Bellamy knocked out on the horse and I ran to help Octavia carry him off. He was so heavy I don't even know how she got him on in the first place.

We set him on the ground and chained him up to a rock.

A few minutes later he hagan to wake up.

"It was a mistake to bring him here." Indra complained as the 3 of us stood in a line watching as he slowly regained consciousness.

"He was out the whole way and I searched him for bugs." Octavia explained.

"You really think I'd let them hurt you." Bellamy said offended.

"Shut your mouth." Indra said coldly to Bellamy.

"Indra we talked about this." Octavia told Indra.
