Beth's POV

We were sitting by a stream. O was listening as Lincoln was making me learn some saying.

"Ai laik Beth kom skaikru en ai gaf gouthru klin."

"Klir, not klin. Gouthru klir. Again." Lincoln says.

I sigh. "Ai laik Beth kom skaikru en ai gaf gouthru klir." I say. He nods at me and I smile slightly.

"Why do we even have to learn this? You speak English." Octavia asks him.

"Only our warriors speak English. When we get to the sea, you both need to sound like one of us." He tells us.

"Then we have time. Tell me about this one." I say to him, he looks at me and then starts talking.

"A statue near my village. A place we go to settle disputes." he says.

"Stop stalling and pull it out." Octavia asks, annoyed by us talking. Lincoln pulls out the arrow. She gasps in pain. "No warning? Nothing?" I roll my eyes. She groans. "I take it back. No warning is better. Ahh. Oh, my God.

Lincoln sighs then spits out the poison. "Poison." I sigh.

"I'm guessing this means you don't have the antidote?" I ask him. He looks up at me and shakes his head.

"No. I gave it to Raven to save Finn." He replies. I sigh.

"So, we go back." O says.

"It's too far." I tell her. Lincoln nods at me, agreeing.

"It's further to the sea." O says.

"Damn it."

"Lincoln, we are not going back to your village. You know what they to traitors." I say to him, grabbing his arm.

"Beth." He says

"Death by a thousand cuts." I say. "Every single member of your clan will take a turn stabbing you, and then they'll feed you to the bugs. it's what you told me." I tell him. "I'm not losing you." I say. He nods, I nod back.

"Here. Take this." I give him a confused look as he hands me his sword. I shake my head. He grabs my face. "Hey. I will be right back." He says. I nod, he kisses my cheek.

"Lincoln, where are you going?" I ask him.

"The antidote. It comes from the beetles that feed on the river moss. You're gonna feed on the beetles. It'll work." He tells O. I make a disgusted face. I am so happy I don't have to eat them.

Octavia soon starts screaming looking at something in the distance. "O! Octavia!" I yell trying to get her to snap out of it.

"What happened?" Lincoln asks me running up.

"I don't know she just started screaming." I answer with a confused frown.

"It was - was a - a monster. The man." She says.

"It's the poison." He says. I feel her forehead.

"She's burning up." I tell him.

"I know what we have to do." He says to us.

"What are you doing?" I ask him. He carries Octavia, knowing she probably can't walk now. "Where are we going?"

"It'll be fine Beth." He says and we start walking.

We were now walking through the woods, O was walking now. She was in front of Lincoln and I a few feet.

"Ai laik Beth kom skaikru en ai gaf gouthru klir." I say.

"Once more. Come on, say it. Come on." He tells me. I nod.

"Ai laik Beth kom skaikru en ai gaf gouthru klir." I say he nods at me. "You know Linc, you still haven't even told me where we're going."

"Can't you smell it? We're almost to the sea." He says. I give him a confused look. I shake my head. Octavia turns to us.

"I can't smell anything. Beth, I'm scared." She says.

We soon reach a place where for some reason felt to familiar. Lincoln lays O down.

"Now sleep." He tells her. "Both of you. Be back with the antidote as soon as I can." I look around and see a statue. Lincoln told me about it. This is his village.

"You brought us to your village?"

"I won't let Octavia die. She's your best friend." He tells me. He goes to get up I grab his arm.

"Lincoln, Lincoln!" I say.

"Hey, hey." He says trying to quiet me.

"They'll kill you, Linc. I can't lose you." I say to him.

"Hey." He says grabbing my face, carefully. "Only if they catch me. Stay alive. And stay quiet." He says. I nod. He was about to get up again but I pull him back down and kiss him. He kisses back then pulls away. He looks at me and I nod. he nods back then gets up and goes to the village.
