The Natblida from Skaikru

10-Goodbye-

Octavia

Bellamy looks very chirpy. Whistling, Bellamy looks up to see me. He's standing by the guards finishing up on orders when I reach him.
"Hey can I speak to you for a sec?" He nods and then sends away the guards. "Why you so happy today?"
He smiles, genuinely. "The talk with Rae went really well, and I mean really well." He smirked seeing my face twist in disgust.
"So I take it your conversation went well." He nods his his head up and down.
"Yeah we spoke she told me how she was taken and struck a deal, her help in order for our safety." My mouth fell open and I was shocked. "She then said she missed me, and being with me and we spoke and then-then we uhm consummated our relationship." Glancing back at me. I shivered.
"Ew TMI." I tell him pretend gagging. He laughs at me.
"Admit it you missed us being all coupley." He snickers.
"I'm starting to rethink that matter." I stuck my tongue out at him. "But if you mess this up I'll beat your ass." Quite literally since I've been training with Lincoln.
"Ok, well I'm just trying to not get a disease right now you can do that later." Winking and then walking away. I head back into the ship. Seeing Rae tending to people and then bringing him to the side.
"Listen I have to head back to the grounders after the wave passes. I'm to give them a headcount as part of our deal. But after I leave I need you to take care of yourself because, I don't know when I'll be back." Murphy nodding his head. "I need to speak to O. And then help out. I'll see you after." Wrapping her hands around Murphy and then seeing me. Her eyes widening. And then she walks towards me. Pulling me back outside. Near the back of the drop ship. We both sit on a log.
"How is training with Lincoln. He tells me your a tough warrior." She asks me.
"I didn't know you know Lincoln." She nods her head.
"I met him before I figured out what I was." What?! "Remember when we were kids and I never got hurt or if I did I never let any of you see?"
"Yes i always found it odd." Then Rae took a knife out of her waistband and cut into her forearm. And blood oozed out. But it was black. "What the hell?"
"I am what the grounders call a natblida, or night blood. And they are rare. I never knew what it was but my mother always told me to hide it. And when I met Lincoln he explained to me. Here, Natblidas are special, royal. They can become Heda, a commander their leader." To stunned to speak she continued. "I have been training next to Lexa to be a general. She tells me that I lead well. And I learn their language with Lincoln. And I ask him about you. And he speaks about you with such admiration and love. It makes me so happy to know your using your potential and found happiness." She smiles at me. And intertwines our fingers, squeezing softly. "I always saw you as such a strong person and I'm so proud of you O." Shedding a tear I see she's also been crying. "I hate to have to leave you again. I hate it so damn much. But, I have to, to make sure you stay safe. And if this camp does something reckless O. You have to promise me to run, go with Lincoln he'll keep you safe. I've spoken to Bellamy. We're together again and I told him about my blood and to run to if he has to." She looks me in the eye and then caresses my cheeks using her thumbs to wipe away the tears. "I love you so much baby sis."
Wrapping my arms around her and crying into her shoulder I realize that we may never see each other again. "You are brave, strong, beautiful, and I couldn't have asked for a better best friend and sister. You Octavia Blake, are my light." And we continued to hug until I found my voice again.
"I love you to big sis." She smiled so wide it looked like it could've stretched her face.
"Well if your heart to heart is done, I need Rae for a second." A voice says from behind us, seeing Bellamy. Nodding I get up and return to help the infected.

Rae

Bellamy sits next to me. And I lean into his side.
"You heard?" He nods, "how much?"
"All of it." He kissed the top of my head.
"Now what did you want to speak about?" Asking as I wipe the remainder of tears from my cheeks.
"How long will you be with them?" He sits down next to me pulling me into his lap. My knees on either side of him. And I'm looking down into his beautiful eyes.
"If you guys don't don't anything stupid then I'll be back in no time with a peace treaty." Placing a gentle kiss on his nose. I glance back at his face to see his eyes closed. "But, I have to leave in the morning. Lincoln and I are returning to Heda." He opens his eyes to see me staring at him. He's face shows he's sad although he understands.
Placing my hands to cup his cheeks. "I'll be back as soon as I can." He puts his hand behind my neck pulling me down and kissing me roughly. As if our lives depended on it. Our lips moving in sync.
"Better make our time worth it then huh?" He asks cheekily, long breathes coming out. I nod my head slowly. Both of us sharing a similar smirk. As we quickly run towards his tent.

And when the sun came up, and I left him with a lingering kiss. We parted with the words, 'May we meet again.'
