CHAPTER TWELVE

Sun shone through the slightly opened curtains in Octavia's small room. She stirred from her slumber and turned to face, what she thought was, Cassian. Except, he wasn't there where she presumed him to be.

Furrowing her eyebrows, Octavia rolled out of bed and glanced around at her very empty apartment. Though, a small piece of paper caught her eye. Octavia walked to it, but stopped when seeing that it was in her younger brothers handwriting. Sucking in a sharp breath, she grabbed it and let her eyes scan over it.

Octavia didn't cry. Octavia didn't smile. Octavia didn't show any emotion. Octavia knew that it was time to get over her younger brother and do something about it.

She simply picked up the piece of paper and crumpled it. Octavia then tossed it into the small trash bin and took off towards her closet. She threw on a pair of green pants and a dark gray shirt. Nothing too fancy, but nothing too casual.

After packing her bag for the trip to Scarif, she rushed out the door and locked it. Octavia took off to the landing dock, no emotion playing on her face. Though when her droid rode up to her, a tiny smile danced on her lips. "Hey, X2." Octavia muttered, falling to her knees in front of the machinery.

The droid produced a loud squeal before moving in a back and forth motion, quickly. "I am sorry about Cael."

"It's okay, X2. I'm trying to get over it." She smiled.

As she was about to continue their conversation, her name being called cut her off. Octavia glanced up to see Chirrut waving her over. Him and Baze were both sitting on a small ship, located in the middle of the landing bay. Octavia mumbled a quick goodbye to her droid and stalked over to where her good friends were sitting.

"Are Jyn and Bodhi in the meeting?" She asked, taking a seat beside Baze on the wing.

"Yes. They haven't come out yet, though. It should be over soon." Baze stated. Octavia nodded her head before turning to face all of the rebels rushing by. She leaned back against the ship and let out a loud sigh. Octavia knew that it was going to take a long time.

About an hour later, the three of them were still sitting on that small ship. Octavia's eyes lay shut, boredom enveloping her. Though her eyes instantly snapped open when rustling occurred beside her. Baze and Chirrut were both straightened their posture when both Jyn and Bodhi emerged from behind a door to their right. "I'm taking they didn't approve?" Baze asked when the two approached them.

Jyn shook her head. "No. They didn't." Octavia let out a sigh. There was no way that they would've let the mission pass. It was way too risky to send the entire rebel fleet to Scarif for a simple plan. Octavia knew that they didn't understand the full potential of the death weapon that was in the hands of the empire.

"So what do we do?" Chirrut asked.

Octavia stood up from the ship and stood beside Jyn. "We get them ourselves. That's what we do." She said, proudly. Jyn nodded her head in agreement.

"We don't have enough people, though. There's no way we can make it." Jyn added, looking around at the others.

"How many do we need?" Baze asked. Octavia and Jyn both furrowed their eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" Jyn asked. Baze pointed behind the two girls. Both of them turned around to be faced with Cassian and two dozen rebels behind him. A smile crept onto Octavia's face when the two of them locked eyes.

"All of us have done horrible things for the rebellion." Cassian began, glancing at his small team of misfits. "Things were are not proud of." He added, moving his eyes to Octavia. She sent him a small smile. "We are here to get vengeance for what they made us do."

Octavia looked around at the others for approval. She was definitely on board for this new plan. "It'll be - It'll be tight, but we can all fit." Bodhi shrugged.

"Alright, everyone. Let's get this show on the road." Jyn called out, to which everyone began to disperse in different directions.

Octavia and Cassian didn't exchange any words. Right after they both locked eyes, she was rushing to him. Octavia wrapped her arms around his neck and their lips met in an intimate gesture. Cassian smiled, before kissing the other rebel back.

Their kiss lasted a few seconds before Octavia pulled away.

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." He muttered. They both shared a smile before their lips met once again.
