chapter thirty-eight, We die--
"UP!" FIO SHOUTED WAKING NOVA UP FROM HER SLUMBER. Indra, Abby, and Octavia had left with Clarke; Indra took Octavia due to her advanced training, leaving Nova back at camp. In Indra's absence, Fio had taken on the task of training her.
"Ugh, really now?" Nova groaned, standing up and brushing the dirt off her jeans. Fio tossed her a sword, which she caught with ease.
"Fighting with a sword may seem easy, but you still need focus," Fio said, swinging his sword towards her. Nova dodged and brought her blade to meet his. Fio nodded in approval and began teaching her new techniques, guiding her through an entire fighting routine.
Nova quickly adapted, her movements becoming more fluid and precise. She found herself gaining the upper hand, eventually pinning Fio to the ground with her sword at his neck. Both were breathing heavily as Nova stood and offered her hand to help Fio up.
"So..." Nova panted, looking at Fio, who met her gaze with a mix of pride and amusement.
"You performed well," Fio stated.
A grin spread across Nova's face as she clapped her hands together. She raised her hand for a high five, but Fio looked at her strangely. Undeterred, Nova grabbed Fio's hand and guided it into a high five.
"That's how you do it," she said, smiling.
Fio chuckled, shaking his head. "You're full of surprises, Nova Kom Skaikru."
Nova smiled, feeling a sense of camaraderie and accomplishment. Despite the challenges, moments like these made the hardships bearable.
The gate of the camp opened revealing Abby, Indra, Octavia and Clarke. They are dragging in someone with a hazmat suit on and another grounder. "I'll be right back, Fio" Nova declares following the group in the drop ship and follows them into med bay.
"This guy is from Mount Weather. We need to keep him alive" Clarke says and Nova stands next to her as Jackson works on him and Abby works on the grounder who was hurt. "Why?" Nova questions and Clarke sighs.
"We need answers" Clarke demands and Nova nods her head.
"We should lock him down" Jackson suggests widening his eyes as he looks at the radiation burns on his skin. "There was a tear in his suit, but we fixed it in the field. Anything from Bellamy?" Clarke questions looking over at Raven who walked in.
Raven shakes her head and Clarke scoffs in annoyance.
"Then why aren't you at the radio?" Clarke asks frantically and Raven puts her hands up in surrender. "Octavia just took my place. How about you back off?" Raven states looking Clarke up and down.
