___
Can't stay here, it's hard to face and it feels too ugly
Light a fire inside yourself, let it burn
Stare up at a starless sky and you say
It's like I'm still here with you

Octavia leads Skye back through the Ark halls, knowing that it's only a matter of time before Clarke tells Pike that she's there.
Skye is furious. She has hot tears streaming down her face, but her expression is flat.
Octavia doesn't ask what happened, but it's clear she heard enough through the wall to understand.
They make it back to the passage and they're greeted by Abby and Kane.
"Mom." Skye exhales.
Abby squeezes her into a hug. "We know what happened. We know what Pike did. What Clarke... did. Is there anything we can do to prevent a retaliation?"
"Abby, hurry." Kane says, nervously looking at the doorway.
"We came here to give them Pike." Octavia says.
Kane sighs. "He's the duly elected Chancellor. Our people knew what they were voting for. Besides, he has the guards and all the guns. Can't get close to him."
"And that's not the way we do things." Abby says.
"Then maybe it's time we changed the way we do things." Octavia says.
An announcement over the speaker halts their conversation. "Security breach. Lockdown commencing."
Kane glances at the teens. "You two need to go. Now."
"What about Lincoln?" Octavia asks.
The flap at the door suddenly rustles and the four jump, expecting the worst.
Instead, they are met with Lincoln.
"Lincoln!" Octavia throws herself into his arms.
He pulls away, glancing behind him. "They're on the way. You have to go."
"Come with us." She says.
"My people-"
Skye touches the man's shoulder. "We will come back for them."
Kane hands Octavia a walkie. "The range isn't great. Hold out and wait for me to contact you."
The girl quickly climbs into the passage, holding out her arm for Lincoln, who takes it, following her. Skye is last.
She glances back at her mom. "Clarke..."
"I know." Her face is saddened. "We'll get her back."
Skye mumbles. "I'm not so sure."
The last thing she sees is Kane shutting the panel to the passage.
