Regina(On Hold) // The 100

006

It was late in the night, hours after launching the flares, and I'd been sitting in the same place in Clarke's tent, praying that the Ark saw them. With my eyes closed and Strisis laying right next to me, I took deep breaths as my mind unraveled around today's events. The pod, Raven, the radio, the flares, Clarke being in love with someone. The whole reason Raven came down was to see if the 100 were alive, and even though she found out they were, Bellamy may have ruined the chance for the Ark to know.

"Octavia!" Bellamy's voice snatched me out of my semi-calm state. I looked down at my sister, half asleep on our side of the tent, and she tried to block out the sound of Bellamy's voice.

"Ai na komba raun(I'll be right back)," I whispered. I gently ran a hand through her hair before slowly removing Strisis from my grip and crawling out of the tent. Bellamy stood right outside Clarke's tent, about to open it before I had crawled out.

"You're up?" he questioned. I looked at him as he tried to hide his panic, but it was clear that he was worrying over something.

"Yeah. Knowing that hundreds of people might be dying up there makes it pretty hard to sleep."

"Raven's flares will work," Bellamy tried to assure me. "Besides, you can't tell me you haven't killed before."

I shook my head. "I'm not. But those I've killed weren't innocent." I looked up to the sky, and every emotion I was currently feeling over those on the Ark was pushed deep inside. Bellamy might question how I was still alive after being hunted for nine years, and the only answer I'd be able to give was that I hadn't shown these people how weak I was. As Bellamy said, weakness was death.

Bellamy ignored my comment about the people I've killed, not even showing any sign of remorse for the deaths he most likely caused. "Have you seen Octavia?"

"No," I answered. I looked around Bellamy when I realized I haven't seen her since this morning when the two of them were in the woods. "But I know she can take care of herself. Living on the Ark makes people grow up faster than they should." The second part was a bit quieter than the first, and I didn't know if Bellamy heard it or not.

"Enyo, I've checked the camp." Bellamy glanced around us. "She's not here."

I stared at him for a moment, seeing the worry in his eyes. "Ok. I'll help you find her." The two of us walked away from Clarke's tent. "Let's check again. You go to the dropship. I'll check the rest of the tents."

"Thank you."

I scoffed. "Don't thank me. I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for Octavia."

Ignoring my comment once again, the two of us separated. I checked each tent around camp, many of them multiple times. I asked around if anyone's seen her, but no one could tell me. I thought back to when I found Bellamy and Octavia out in the woods, Bellamy confessing to her that he shot their Chancellor, and him ordering her back to camp. She must not have made it back. After checking over the whole camp once more, I stood quietly in the center of camp, staring at the fire.

Lincoln could help her, I told myself. If Trikru got to the sky girl, Lincoln could help her, just like he did with me and Strisis when we came down. I knew he had taken a liking to her since they landed, and he'd keep her safe.

After giving up and realizing that Octavia wasn't there, Bellamy pulled out all the weapons stored in the dropship and gathered everyone from camp to where he dropped them. "Hey, everybody, gather around and grab a weapon," he ordered. "My sister's been out there alone for 12 hours. Arm up. We're not coming back without her."

One by one, people grabbed weapons, and I headed back into Clarke's tent. Just as I entered, Strisis sat up. "Chit's gon daun(What's going on)?" she asked in a whisper.
