Since Day One

Part 38. Stealing Fire

Octavia had explained her plan to me and we'd managed to have pike put Lincoln, Kane, and Sinclair in the same room we were in. We were hiding in this small hole in the floor, no space to move as we were squished together. When Octavia opened the small door above us she signaled us too come out.

We all let out a deep breath once we were out in the open.

I helped Lincoln out as his hands were tied up. Once he was out I didn't say anything I just pulled out the guns from underneath us and set them on the bunk beds.

I pulled out one of my blades and cut Lincoln free.

"What about Danae?" Lincoln asked me as he looked out the door worried.

"We'll come back for them." I said numbly, showing no expression on my face.

"Oks on the move." The radio spoke in Octavias hands.

"What is it?" Kane asked her.

"This wasn't the plan. We use their frequency so they can hear us. Go ahead." Octavia said alarmed.

"Stay where you are. Repeat stay where you are the exit is not clear." Harpers voice spoke.

"How many guards.?" Octavia asked.

"Too many, I said stay put." Harper ordered.

"Calling all guards the prisoners are headed for the main gate. The prisoners are headed for the main gate over." Montys voice was heard.

"That was Monty." Octavia realized.

"Guess he's with us after all." Miller concluded.

"Pike will find out." Kane explained.

"We don't know that." Abby reassured.

"What we do know is that we have to move." I added.

I let everyone walk in front of me so that no one would be left behind, when I began to walk Lincoln stood in my way.

"What's wrong?" He asked me with a worried tone.

I gulped, kept my face straight, "Lexa's dead."

Lincoln looked at me with sorrow right before he pulled me into a real hug. I needed this so badly, I needed my brothers comfort, but now wasn't the time I needed to get him out.

As I pulled away I looked at him expressionless, "We have to go."

As we walked Lincoln held my hand and squeezed, "You know I love you right, that's never going to change." He whispered.

I said nothing but didn't let go of him.

Once we all began to approach the tunnel I stopped by the entrance.

"I'll make sure no one comes in." I told every one. Kane nodded and led everyone towards the tunnel.

I stood in the hallways, peeking through a wall making sure no one came. Up until now, no guards no nothing. I tried to keep myself busy, trying not to think about Lexa, but that's all that ran through my head.

I kept my eyes sharp, but I didn't even hear any footsteps so I turned around to join everyone but bumped into Lincoln.

"What are you doing?" I asked him noticing that he should've been in the tunnels by now.
