Since Day One

Part 67. Acceptable Losses

The next morning I woke up, getting dressed and ready for the day.

"Come on Bel, let's go." Octavia hurried me as I put on my jacket.

"I know I know, I'm coming." I threw on my jacket and walked with Octavia and Indra. Hoping to find Monty with some good news about the eye in the sky.

After a short walk through the corridors we made it to the room it which the computer was located. Indra opened the doors for us and we walked through to see Bellamy and Harper.

"We'll? Any word?" Octavia asked them both as she stepped forward, Harper looked at Bellamy as he sighed. Not a good sign.

"Look we knew it would take some time. We can count on Echo." Harper said in her oh si hopeful tone.

"Wouldn't be the first time she betrayed us." Octavia snarked.

"If your brother trusts her maybe we should too." Indra pointed out.

No body said anything, Bellamy still didn't turn around to face either of us.

"You're still upset we shot the traitors." I began, realizing the cause of his silence. "I get how that must look to you but we're fighting for our lives here Bellamy."

I walked towards him until I was standing right beside him as he leaned on the table, messy dark hair, and same dark eyes to match it, he hasn't slept, "The hydro farm is on its last legs. Truth is, it's a miracle... it's a miracle you showed up when you did." I put my hand on his shoulder and he immediately turned his head towards my hand, "I haven't thanked you enough for that.

"If we can just get to shallow valley, things will be better, I promise." I said as I removed my hand.

"Funny, that's the same thing we said about getting back down to the ground." Bellamy said. He turned around to face me and I let my face soften a little, maybe he's finally understanding.

"Then we found you."

Never mind. My face returned to the same stone cold face I always wore, I looked at him one last time before spinning on my heel and walking towards the door. As I walked out, Octavia and Indra followed me.

"The worms are ready?" I asked quietly as we walked down the corridors.

"In process, we're waiting to gather more eggs." Indra explained.

I nodded satisfactory and we continued walking.

Finally reaching out room Octavia and I walked in to see Ethan Nadia getting their gear ready. I saw Nadia reach for one of my two swords, she always was kind of obsessed with my mother's sword.

I threw a shoe from off the floor to her head.

"Ow! What was that for?!" She said offended as she turned around.

"You know why." I told her as I raised an eyebrow.

"I tried to tell her but she wouldn't listen." Ethan said shaking his head trying to sound disappointed. Nadia shot him a not to subtle warning look and kicked his leg, but he just showed a small smirk as he moved his leg causing her to miss.

Octavia threw a shoe at him, landing right in in the middle of his gut.

"Ow! I didn't even do anything." He said defensively as he raised his arm, showing he hadn't nothing.

Octavia walked over to him and turned him around by grabbing his shoulders. She slipped off his jacket and it revealed Octavias first sword hanging onto his back with a strap.

Nadia smiled as he looked at her, knowing he was caught.

Octavia pulled out the sword and through it on the bed, "No real swords until you're 16. You both know that."
