「 ✦ Bambi- Bellamy Blake ✦ 」

Dépaysement

when someone is taken out of their own familiar world into a new one

It felts as if Athena had barely slept an hour, when she was woken up by Bellamy. Athena rubbed the sleep from her eyes as she stirred from her slumber, Bellamy's voice jolting her awake. The darkness outside confirmed her suspicions that it was still the middle of the night.

"Bellamy?" she mumbled groggily, her mind struggling to shake off the remnants of sleep.

"Do you know where Octavia is?" Bellamy's question cut through the haze of drowsiness, instantly sharpening Athena's senses.

"She's still not back?" Athena's sleepiness evaporated in an instant as concern flooded her veins. Without hesitation, she scrambled out of her sleeping bag, her mind racing with worry.

"Why? Did you talk to her?" he asked, his voice tinged with urgency.

"No, but I noticed earlier that she wasn't here for the flare show. But I thought she was just out and about doing her own thing as always," Athena explained, her tone heavy with concern.

Her thoughts already moving into action mode as she stepped out of her tent and headed toward Jasper's tent.

"I'll go wake up Clarke, you go get Jasper up," Bellamy instructed, gratitude evident in his voice.

Athena nodded in agreement. As she made her way toward Jasper's tent, her heart pounded with worry for Octavia. 

Athena's urgency was palpable as she roused Jasper from his slumber, her voice cutting through the darkness of the night.

"Jasper, JASPER!" she called out softly, yet with a sense of urgency.

Startled awake, Jasper jumped to attention, his instincts kicking in as he assumed a defensive stance.

"Who's there?" he demanded, his fists raised in front of him.

"It's just me, Jasper," Athena reassured him, a hint of amusement in her voice as she chuckled at his reaction. "Get up."

"Why?" Jasper groaned, his initial fear giving way to annoyance at being woken up.

"Octavia's gone," Athena replied bluntly, her tone leaving no room for argument.

The news hit Jasper like a bolt of lightning, shock and concern flooding his expression.

"What?" he exclaimed, scrambling to his feet. "Yeah, c'mon, we need to find her."

With newfound urgency, Jasper wasted no time in rallying Finn and preparing to join the search for Octavia.

Meanwhile, as Athena made her way back to Bellamy, she found him already organizing a group of volunteers to aid in the search. Before she could inquire about his plan, a commotion erupted among the delinquents.

"Guys, guys, come here!" one of them called out excitedly.

Athena's curiosity piqued, she joined the group, her eyes following their gaze upward. As she looked up, she was greeted by a breathtaking sight that momentarily took her breath away.

"Did you see that? Look up there. It's so beautiful," another delinquent marveled, his voice filled with wonder.

As the group watched the lights in the sky, Athena couldn't help but feel a sense of unease gnawing at her stomach.

"What is that?" she asked, her voice tinged with apprehension. "Are those our flares?"

Raven's defeated tone cut through the night air. "They didn't work. They didn't see the flares."
