The Unwanted Child {2}

The Tinder Box

Jaycee went back to her room, hoping that Nova was awake, and when she walked into her room, she was.

"Hey Jay," Nova smiled.

Jaycee smiled at the girl. She then sat on the bed. "Come here kid, I wanna talk to you,"

Nova nodded and sat in front of Jaycee, she grabbed the smaller girls hands and looked at her.

"So, you know how we're getting this big old ship ready to live in?" Jay asked the girl.

Nova nodded, "Yeah, it's going to be fun, you finally don't have to leave the ship!" Nova smiled.

Jaycee nodded. "Yeah, I know," She smiled sadly.

Nova looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Jaycee sighed, "Only 100 people can be on the Ark," Jay wanted ot be honest with her, it was better than getting her hopes up.

"You and I are not on it, aren't we?" She asked sadly.

Jaycee nodded, "But I am going to do everything in my power to make sure you are one of the people inside the ship, even if it means that I am not on it," Nova shook her head in disagreemnt. "I don't want to be on it if you're not on it, I don't care what you say," Nova had tears in her eyes.

She jumped into Jaycee's arms and hugged her, "I don't care, I wanna be with you, even if it means I die." Jaycee let some tears dropped as she hugged the girl back.

"Promise me, we will be together no matter if we live or die, promise me," Nova said into Jay's ear.

Jaycee didn't want her to die by her side, she wanted the girl to live, but she knew she was stubborn, "Okay, I promise, we aren't leaving each other sides when this happens," She said.

Nova smiled. "Thank you," She whispered in her ear.

Jay was informed that Octavia was back, some guy named Ilian had brought her because he found her in bad shape. She has a stab wound and he knew that bringing her here was the best choice.

Jaycee ran to where the others where, not caring about her leg, this time Nova wanted to join her because she cared about Octavia too.

They ran as fast as they could, they then saw Clarke giving her CPR.

"No..." Jaycee mumbled. She ran to the table, "What the hell happened?" She asked looking at Clarke then to Ilian.

"Yeah, who are you?" Nova asked the man.

He looked at Octavia as he said his name, "Ilian Kom Trishanakru."

Jaycee looked at Clarke who was still trying to save Octavia.

"I was on my way home from Polis when I found her," He told them.

"Please, Octavia, wake up," Jaycee grabbed her hand.

After Clarke gave her two more breaths, Octavia started breating again.

Nova sighed in relief.

"Okay. Get her to medical now" She told Harper and the others.

She put her attention on Ilian, "Getting her here saved her life. Thank you,"

Octavia tried to sit up but Jaycee walked next to her, "Hey, hey, Octavia, don't move," Octavia looked at the Jordan girl.

"You've lost a lot of blood, but you're home now. Clarke's going to help you," She told the girl. Then Monty and the others came with a stretcher.

That's when Octavia mumbled something, "Azgeda's coming," Jay looked at the girl.
