"Hey" Aden called, quietly closing the door behind him. I looked up from my bag. With Octavia winning the conclave she declared that the bunker will be shared by everyone. Except for azegeda, it was discovered that they were cheating during the conclave. Every clan has a hundred and thirty people to choose to survive in the bunker.

I gave him a small nod to show that I heard him. I hid him on the list of trikru's people under a fake name. Now the only people who knew who he is are Lincoln and I. We dyed his hair a dark brown with fabric dye from the market so he couldn't be recognized.

"I got you this" he said walking closer. In his hands was a chain. "It's for her pendant" he explained.

I frowned thinking about the piece of metal I've been carrying around in my pocket. Taking it from my pocket I rubbed it between my fingers. My thoughts turned to her again. Going though Lexa's things and deciding what to keep has been hard. I wanted to save everything but I knew there wasn't room. Aden gently took the symbol from my fingers and put it on the chain necklace. I held my hair to the side for him to latch it around my neck. "Thanks, Aden" I said holing it between my fingers again.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

Running my hand over the folded blanket I took a look around the room. I've packed as much of her things as I could into two bags. None of my things I cared to pack unless they were something Lexa gave me. "No but we don't have time" I mumbled. The memories I have in this room are overwhelming. It was all going to be destroyed, this is going to be my last time seeing it.

Turning away from him I pinched my forehead trying not to let my tears fall. My lip trembled as reality set in. My longing for her only seemed to grow stronger everyday. "Remember what I told you. You will see her again" Bekka spoke in my head.

"Are you sure?" I thought back to her.

"Yes, it's okay to go" she answered.

With a sigh I shook my head and pushed down these feelings. It was a surprise when Bekka first spoke to me. Her newer version of the flame was the reason. She also implanted one in her brain stem. It allowed for the both of us to escape the city of light.

I turned back to Aden, he was waiting patiently. He was avoiding look around so he couldn't be reminded of his commander. "Let's go" I said defeatedly. I gathered my bags and the blanket in my arms.

Aden pulled his hood up over his head and adjusted his bag on his back. I hesitated at the doorway taking one last look around. All the memories of being in bed with Lexa, whether it was making love or just holding one another. Every time I woke up to her watching me with that perfect little smile. Looking at the stars with her on the balcony. This room held so many good memories and one bad one.

I had to force myself to close the door. Setting my hand on the door I wondered if Lexa was somewhere watching over me. "I love you" I whispered.

The young nightblood and I made our way down to the bunker. No one batted an eye at him. Aden told the man at the door our names so that he could mark on the list we've entered the bunker. I let him lead the way to an open room. It had two twin beds with a small cabinet by each and two dressers across the room. "I'm going to get some sleep" he said sitting down on one of the beds. It was the middle of the day but I don't have the energy to argue with the kid.

I set the blanket and bags down on the other bed. Sitting down I opened a bag and took out one of the piece of paper.

"Hey there" I tore my eyes away to see Anna at the door way. "Sirus and I are next door. Mind if we come in?" she asked. I nodded for them enter. Sirus sat down on the foot of Aden bed and leaned against the wall. The kid was already asleep facing the wall. Anna carefully moved my bags off the bed to sit next to me. "What have you got there?" she asked looking at what I have in my hands.
