"Jasper!"
"Stop and just listen to Monty."
The two had been following Jasper for quite some time, trying to get him to talk to them.
When he finally spun around, he snapped.

"Get away from me!"

A figure with braided hair ran up to the three of them.
"Hey! Jasper, what's wrong?"
She panted as she got closer to them.
"He's not going to the memorial."
Monty glared at the boy beside him.
"It's a little late for a Mount Weather memorial. Don't you think?"
He mumbled.
Octavia sighed seeing how the boy had turned out after what happened to him in Mount Weather before the explosion.

A man's voice boomed on the PA capturing everyone's attention.
"All unstationed security personnel report to the main gate."
The PA announcement said.
"What now?"
Chloe sighed, following behind Octavia who was already walking towards the main gate.
"Nyko."
She ran behind Octavia, noticing how the guards of Arkadia were treating them harshly.
"Hey! That's enough."
"Stop it!"
Chloe guarded the sick people Nyko had  brought with her arms, to push the guards of Arkadia back, whilst Octavia spoke to the main guard in charge.
Octavia came rushing back, grabbing one of the sick people and hauling their arm around her shoulders.
"I got her. Come on."
She said to Chloe, telling her to do the same thing.
"I heard about Mount Weather."
Nyko spoke, as he walked beside Chloe.
"I'm very sorry."
...
Meanwhile in Medical, Chloe was helping a few of the sick people brought in by Nyko while Abby was at the memorial.
"You sure you don't want to go?"
Octavia asked her, as she placed a wet rag on the young girl rested on a hospital bed beside her.
"Gina knows that I cared about her, I just wish I could've saved her."
Octavia rested a hand on the girl's shoulder.
"Now I have to live with it."

The girl's train of thought was interrupted by Abby, Kane, Pike and Lincoln coming into medical.
Abby was guiding Lincoln to a chair, getting some of her medical equipment out as Octavia rushed over to him, seeing the bloody gash on his forehead.
...
Lincoln kissed the girl on her head softly.
However, Octavia's eyes followed the girl in the background that was aiding the sick, as Lincoln did so.
...
The sound of blaring alarms in the darkness, she hurried through the crowd of people that had formed infront of the armoury, with Octavia following behind her.

The PA sounded once more, repeating what it said earlier that morning.

As she reached the front of the crowd she saw Lincoln holding a man at knifepoint.
She spun around to see armed men holding guns towards him. Chloe tilted her head to the side, not averting her gaze away from Bellamy.
Octavia came through, glaring at her brother.
"What's wrong with you?"
She muttered.
"Do you feel proud?"
Chloe said through clenched teeth, as the Blake boy turned his head to look away from her.

That was when the crowd of people dispersed, and Kane and Abby came through.
"Farm station! Guns on the ground."
Pike bellowed.
"Lincoln, it's alright. Let him go."
Kane yelled, to which Lincoln did as he was told.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Abby said to Pike, that had put his weapons on the ground.
Kane approached Bellamy.
Abby responded.
"Guards, take them to lock up now."
The guards instantly took over, handcuffing all of Pike's men.
"Everyone back to your quarters. It's over."
Abby yelled to everyone, when Pike turned around.
"Nothing is OVER. We are surrounded by warriors who want us dead."
"That's enough!"
Kane shouted over him.
"No it's not. Not even close. Why don't you show us all what you let the grounders do to you yesterday?"
"Come on Kane. I think that the people who are about to vote for you have a right to know."
The audience began to shout.
