The 100 VI Wars Peak

Chapter 12 Octavia

There it was. The most beautiful sight she has ever seen in her whole entire life. More alluring then the view of Earth from Factory station on The Ark, more ravishing then the majestic forests of Earth. It was the Polis Tower. It stands so tall, the sunset reflecting across the towers windows, making it look as if it had an orange tint to it. The Polis gates slowly opened, and the two riders lead Octavia and the remaining hundred inside. As they walked, Octavia felt Eugene's arm pat her shoulder. 

"Hey, Octavia. Look, I don't think this is such a good idea helping these people out..they murdered my friends, they hunted you and the hundred..I don't think this is a good path to follow.." Eugene said stiffly, assuring that there were no Grounders lingering around to hear his nervous words . 

"I don't have a say in this..all I know is, I'm helping in this war. I don't want no more death or violence. I just want peace. Is that to much to ask for?" She turned to eye him seriously. He saw the progression flaring in her eyes, so he just straddled off to the side of the pack. Octavia shifted her vision to the right of her, where she saw Finn and Raven walking, talking to each other. She envied Raven, and somewhat had a burning hatred for her deep down. Things were so perfect with Finn until she had to come down. Of course Octavia isn't one to hold a grudge, but she does have a tainted feeling of dislike for Raven. 

"We stop here..Everyone prepare yourselves, the commander is coming from the west end of Polis, leading an army. You will join the army, and we will all march from Polis to Edens path, and follow it north to the Ice Nation kingdom." One of the riders announced as he slid down from his horse, and unlocked a door to a room filled with armor. Octavia shrugged, rolling her eyes as she took a step over to Murphy. 

"I'll be waiting at the gate, hurry it up in here." She voiced. Murphy nodded, not saying anything in return, as Octavia walked past him over to the main entrance. She stepped out of the Polis line, and plopped down on a patch of grass, watching the plot of woods in front of her. How the sun was right above the trees, making the leaves appear as if they were golden. Octavia smiled in delight, wondering how something so peaceful can be so ruthless? Earth. Everything is so straining, so hard. watching all the deaths, all the bloodshed. It is a wonder none of these people have gone mad yet from all the pain. She thought back to Jasper. How he couldn't take no more Pain, he ended his life right there, in front of Octavia. How his blood sprinkled onto her, the deafening sound of the gunshot. 

Octavia shuddered, shaking the thought off. In the distance, she saw something. Two figures walk past a treeline. She rose upon her feet, and marched forward. Her sword was drawn, and her eyesight was sharp. The two silhouettes hid behind a tree. Octavia stepped over one of the roots sticking from the ground, and spiraled around the tree, pointing her sword at the two figures. "Who goes there!" Octavia muttered sternly. Her anxious face transitioning to a smile, as she lowered her sword. It was her brother Bellamy, accompanied by some older looking man. 

"Octavia!" Bellamy smiled, hugging her tightly. She hugged back, soon slipping away from the hug. "Looks like they transported you from the Dropship to here...I thought the war was tomorrow?" Bellamy asked, his expression growing serious. 

"No, the war begins tonight. I don't know why, I think something happened. Maybe the Ice Ntion attacked earlier then expected...We were originally going to be brought to the Ark's wreckage, where Chancellor Davis and the Ark survivors are at, but as I said, early war I guess..Where is Alyson?" Octavia cocked her head to the side and rose one of her skinny brows. Bellamy's face illuminated with a mixture of fear and distress, as this seemed like news to him.

"Alyson is gone, something took her...some cloud of smoke...After this war, I want you to help me find her..." He asked, gripping her shoulder. "wait, did you say new chancellor?" 

"Yes, Chancellor Davis..When you shot Jaha, he took over...When Jaha recovered from surgery he allowed Chancellor Davis to continue his term. After all of this, you don't need to hide! I am sure they won't give you any penalties for what you did with the previous chancellor..life will be normal again! Or should I say, life will be normal finally." She smiled, and so did Bellamy kind of. 

"If we make it through this war.." Bellamy added. 

"We will...Who is this?" Octavia gestured towards the man behind Bellamy. 

"That is Ivor.." Bellamy replied. Ivor stared at Octavia strangely, not making a sound. 

"Ivor? Finn told me that he shot someones son n-" Octavia was stopped by Bellamy's raise of voice. 

"Octavia, not now..Ivor isn't allowed in Polis, so I need a favor.." 

"What do you need?" Octavia asked. 

"Tell him Ivor." 

"You see.." ivor began speaking. "My friend lives in Polis, his name is Pyro. Pyro has something I need..something I need to get out of this dump..to free myself from these lands." Ivor explained. 

"What does he have?" 

"That is unimportant..just go to Eastern Polis, there is a small building in that section called "Ost Fice." Pyro lives in there, tell him I sent you and I need a fix. Alright?" Ivor tilted his head. 

"yeah, alright..I'll make it back in time before my people leave for the war right? it isn't that far in Polis?" Octavia asked worriedly. 

"Yes, Yes, you won't miss your friends..now go, I need the thing he has desperately." 

"Alright..I'll be back." Octavia replied, turning and running back into the Polis gates. She ducked down an Alleyway and began headed to the eastern side of Polis. She was unsure of why she was doing this, she doesn't even know what she is retrieving for the man, but as long as Bellamy says it is alright, she trusts him. She just worries that she makes it back in time before the hundred and the Grounder army leaves the capitol.
