Aura let out a stifled yawn as she leant against Bellamy, her head pounding from all the alcohol she had consumed hours prior. 

She had been asleep in her bed with Bellamy until Monty had woken them up by banging on the door, and now she was standing in the hangar bay with the citizens of Arkadia, listening to Jaha drone on about what he had found on his mission with Monty and the others.

“There is an underground aquifer, with a filtration system that is still operational" the ex-chancellor revealed as he addressed the crowd. "Some of the water will go to the hydroponic farm. Isn’t that right Mr. Green?”

The young boy nodded, a large grin on his face.

“Most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”

“It won’t be easy," Jaha continued. "There will be plenty of hard work to go around, but together we have struggled. And together we will rise."

The crowd cheered as he finished his speech, several whoops and hollers sounding from around the room as people celebrated and hugged one another.

“Pack your things. Just what you can carry. We leave at first light."

Aurelia watched as the crowd dispersed slowly, her head lifting from where she was resting against Bellamy as she watched Monty approach them. 

“Jaha was right," Bellamy spoke with a shrug, causing the girl to snort in amusement.

“That’s a first.”

"Well, we’ve got a lot of gear to pack." The younger boy's eyes moved between the couple, his brow raised slightly. "You guys sure you’re not too hungover?”

Bellamy's hand clutched his chest in mock horror.

“You judging us, Monty?”

The boy let out a light laugh as he nodded in response. “A little.”

“There was no hope, now there’s hope. Let’s go.”

"What's happening here?" Aurelia questioned as she and Bellamy approached Jaha and a group of guards, who appeared to be struggling to open one of the Ark doors. 

"Mr Jordan seems to disagree with our plans to get to the bunker, and has locked himself in along with others." Jaha revealed, his arms crossing in front of his chest.
