Chapter Seven

His Sister's Keeper

  "Octavia?" Bellamy's voice distracts me from my journal. I turn around on my seat as Bellamy walks into the dropship. "What's wrong?" I stand up and cross my arms. "I can't find O. Did you see her yet?" He looks at me with a worried expression. I shake my head. "She went after you alone...Did you see her when you were in the forest?" My expression drops. 'Yes. I saw her, but she left me.." He inhales uncomfortably. "I'll help you find her." I say as he turns around. He stops for a moment and turns to me. "Let's search the tents first..She could be in camp." He says, understandably stressed. I nod and walk behind him.

"Octavia?" I walk into a tent and look around. "Ugh Haven...Go back to bed.." Del growls. "Sorry Del.." I wave to him. "Sweet dreeeaaammsss." I whisper before walking out and turning to Bellamy. Bellamy lets out a deep breath and turns to the remaining tents. Clarke Walks out of the tent on the right before looking up at Bellamy and I. "You're awake?" Bellamy's mahogany gaze lands on her. "Yeah. Knowing that hundreds of people might be dying on the Ark makes it pretty hard to sleep." Clarke sighs. "Clarke, Raven's flares will wo-" "Her radio would've worked better." Clarke snaps. Bellamy shakes his head. "Have you seen Octavia?" I ask quickly. "No. It's Octavia. She's probably out chasing butterflies." Clarke says . "Clarke, We've checked the camp.. She's not here." Bellamy steps forward. "Ok.. I'll help you guys find her. Try checking again. You two go to the dropship. I'll check the rest of the tents." Clarke walks past him. "Thank you." Bellamy grabs her arm gently. "Don't thank me. I'm doing this for Octavia. Not you." She growls before walking off. A unsteady breath escapes my lips as the tension lowers. "Come on Bellamy." I inhale the cool air, heading towards the dropship.

"Hey, everybody, gather around and grab a weapon. My sister's been out there alone for 12 hours. Arm up. We're not coming back without her." Bellamy says, laying a few weapons out on a flat surface. Eight people step up to join us. I grab Dax's axe from my belt. "Well shit..I forgot to return this to Daxy-poo.." I sigh before shrugging. "Sorry Dax." I whisper before looking up to Bellamy. "You ready, Safe?" He looks down at me as he holds his axe firmly. I nod. "Of course." I smile softly before turning to look at the others. "Jasper?" I jog over to Jasper. "What are you doing?" I ask as I stand In front of him. "I'm going with you guys." Jasper looks at me. "Don't try to stop me. I have to Help find Octavia.." He says with a hint of fear in his voice. "Jasper. We had to drag you for miles in the woods the last time we went out..Are you sure you're ready for this?" I furrow my eyebrows at him. He nods. "I'm ready." He says calmly. My expression softens into a gentle smile. "Ok..." I pat him on his shoulder before turning around to look at everyone else in the search party. Finn walks out and looks at Bellamy. "Finn, We're leaving." Bellamy shifts his weight slightly. "Ok. I'm going." Finn says, putting his jacket on. "Hurry up." Clarke stops Finn and they begin to talk. I close my eyes momentarily before looking up at the sky. I see bright streaks of light falling down the atmosphere. I squint my eyes slightly as I gaze up at the beautiful sight. Wait...No... My eyes widen. Those are the..... "G..Guys.." I choke on my words. "The rockets...They.." I turn away from the sky and look at Bellamy. Raven runs out and looks up as the delinquents begin to whisper to each other. "No..They didn't work...They didn't see it." Raven steps further out. "And a meteor shower tells you that?" Bellamy looks at her. "It's not a meteor shower... It's a funeral Bellamy. Hundreds of bodies are being returned to the Earth from the Ark. This is your Fault." I growl as I fight back the urge to hit him. Bellamy looks at me before turning to an angry Raven. "This is all because of you!" Raven marches up to him. "I helped you find the radio." He clears his throat. "Yeah, after you jacked it from my pod and trashed it!" "He knows Raven. Now he has to live with it." I say trying to calm her down, along with myself. Bellamy looks at me. "All I know is that my sister is out there and I'm gonna find her. Are you coming or not?" He turns to Finn. "Yeah." Finn clears his throat. I keep my gaze on Bellamy as Finn passes me. Bellamy's eyes meet mine. My gaze slowly softens from anger to pain as I turn away from him. "What are we waiting for? Move out!" Bellamy signals the other eight to join him as Finn and I move ahead of them.
