The 100 VI Wars Peak

Chapter 19 Octavia

Octavia lingered in the back of the Army, she was exhausted and it wasn't even night, the sunset was still occurring. She barely made it back in time from doing that task for Ivor and Bellamy, to get that vial filled with green stuff which he calls "a Fix." As she walked, she noticed something peek out from the right side of trees, away from the path they were following. She stopped in her tracks, and began trekking away from the path. 

"Whoa wait! Where are you going Octavia?" Murphy asked, clutching her arm. Since when was he so concerned about her? Earth can change anyone she guesses. 

"I'm going to take a Bathroom break...No need to stop the army, I won't be that long.." She shooed him away, as she scurried down a brush of bushes and fallen tree branches, climbing over a large fallen redwood, and making her way into the woods. The figure was there. It was about Octavia's size, it was someone who had a black hood on, wearing Grounder clothing. "Hey!" Octavia yelled. Once it turned its head and saw her, it dashed away, running. Octavia began running after it, knowing it was a foolish move, but the acts of curiosity haunting her. She broke into a jog, hopping over anything in her way, fallen trees, large rocks, bushels of flowers. She finally got closer enough to tackle the being, pulling the mask off, and sliding the sword near its throat, if it moved all she had to do was press down and its throat would be slit. Octavia gasped upon seeing who it was. Chancellor Davis' son, Parker. "Parker!?" Octavia repeated to herself. "What are you doing here!?" 

"I followed you-" He grumbled, trying to get up, not having any luck against Octavia's strong grip. She sighed, removing the sword from his throat, and pulled him up on his heels. 

"You shouldn't have, you disobeyed your Fathers rules. He's going to be pissed at you, does he even know your gone!?" 

"Yeah, I lied. I said you radioed back reporting you found Pike, and that you invited me to come see the bunker, saying it was secure." Parker smiled in delight. Octavia rolled her eyes, slipping her sword back into her holder. 

"No one likes a Liar, Parker." Octavia spoke seriously, and a tad angrily. She doesn't respect people who lie, even if they may be doing the right thing. She doesn't want to be a total hypocrite, she does tell a little fib here and there, but not to her parents. Hell, she can't even lie to her parents, their dead. 

"I Lied so I can help in the War." Parker pouted. Octavia was about to leave him and go back to the army, but stopped once he spoke, and turned around to him. 

"You lied so you can help in a war? Tell me, have you ever killed anyone to ensure your survival? Ever shoot someone, cut anyone? I've been on this planet around seventy something days..when did you come? Maybe, a week ago? Less than that? You need to learn how to fight before you can fight..." Octavia dug around in her pocket, feeling the gun Bellamy lent her, then feeling some parcels of dust, then finally feeling it, a blade. She pulled it out, and threw it in front of Parker. He picked it up and eyed it peculiarly. "Use it..who knows, it may save your life some day...Alright come on, you might as well join the marching Army. Clarke and Lexa are at the front leading to the Ice Nation village, we're in the back." Octavia grabbed him by the hand, and pulled him out from the crumple of trees, and rose bushes, conjoining the back of the marching army again. Murphy eyed Octavia oddly, seeing how she went in the woods and came back out with a boy. He didn't question her, He just turned around and kept moving. 

"Whoa..this is a big army...hey, who are Clarke and Lexa? The leaders or something?" Parker cocked his head to the side. 

"Yep, Clarke leads us, The sky people, and Lexa is the leader of everything in this area. She is the leader of the twelve clans..Well, eleven now..ice Nation was one until their queen and lexa had a fallout at a meeting or something..I don't know, there are rumors.." Octavia shrugged and kept on moving. Parker followed right by her right side, staying close. 

"Wait-That girl Clarke isn't the leader of us all, My Father the Chancellor is." 

"You're father is the leader of The people from The Ark...Clarke's the leader of I, and my people here...We're the hundred." Octavia smiled slightly, then continued forward, Leaving Parker in the back of the Line. It's almost nightfall, the sun is at is peak, and is almost fully set.
