WARRIOR [2] - Bellamy Blake

nineteen.

Avery sat on the floor of the cell, her legs spread out in front of her fiddling her fingers.

She looked up, seeing Lincoln speaking to a woman, Kane with Sinclair and her alone.

The door opened to Pike, Bellamy, Bryan and a few other guards. "I'm not here for you. Each of you is guilty of the same crimes as Kane, and as such, you will share the same fate... death."

Her head snapped forwards to Bellamy as she stood up. "My people are innocent. They know nothing. Don't let them suffer for my crimes. Please."

"Sir. Lincoln's right. All the others did was run through an open door, same thing we would do if we were in there." Bellamy told him.

"I believe that's true. Kane, Lincoln, Avery, Sinclair, as the leaders of this coup, you will pay for your crimes with your lives. Execution is set for dawn." Pike announced.

"She's just a kid." Sinclair yelled as Avery sat back down accepting her death. Bellamy decided to hang around for a bit, he eyed Avery's cuts on her face.

"Its not my fault, I told him to spare you."

"Everyone who dies in this camp by Pike's hand is on you Bellamy." she replied, turning her head straught and looking forwards to the cell wall.

Bellamy sighed. He'd lost her, and felt as through he would never get her back. "You can leave." she sneered, not giving hom a second glance.

Bellamy left as Kane came to sit next to her. "I'm fine Kane. Please go away."

Willow walked into the cell, followed by a couple of guards. She nodded and they left. "Avery." she called and Av rushed to the gate.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

"I know baby." she leaned in closer to the bars to whisper. "We're planning a way to get you all out, hang on tight."

"Okay." she breathed.

"Look, right now. We are soliders, okay?"

"Alright."

Kane stared at the marking of the coalition on his arm while they were waiting. "Could have worked." Avery told him.

"Death can be an act of unity, too. We don't break. We don't show fear. The people will remember."

The guards entered the room, tying Avery up. They walked through the corridors, when Harper walked past.

She nodded to Avery before moving on. "On their knees!" Pike ordered as he talked into his earpiece, making Avery want to laugh.

"Sir, we can assume her friends already have told her where were taking them. We shouldn't move until we know the route's secure."

Pike noticed an old bunk they used to use as bedrooms. "Put them in there. Let's go, move! I want two men on the door." They lead Avery and the rest into the room and then locked the door.

She was pulled into a confined space by her mom until the guards came. They all went up afterwards, knowing they were somewhat safe. "It's a little bit tight in there."

"Try doing it for 16 years." Octavia shot back. Miller and Abby walked into the room. "Hey." Avery smiled, hugging Miller.

"You alright?"

"Bit." she smiled. "You?"

"Likewise."

"Come on, we're taking the hatch." Octavia ordered, making Avery smile.

Avery smiled at the grown up Octavia that she loved so much.

"Go, go, go, go. Go, come on." Kane rushed as that all crawled through the hatch. Lincoln, O, Av and Kane stayed behind.

"Please don't! No, wait!" Octavia pleaded, Avery put her hand to her mouth.

"I can't let them die because of me."

"Lincoln no, please we're almost out."

"I know what your feeling but they're searching the station we need to go." Kane hurried.  "Now."

"I love you." Lincoln kissed Octavia before sedating her. He caught her, then handing her to Kane.

"What are you doing?" Avery shook her head, tears filling her eyes. "What are you doing?"

"Same thing you were willing to do for your people. Just get her out of here. Ste yuj." Avery hugged Lincoln for the last time, sniffling. Stay strong.

"You too." she smiled, hugging her once again. "Tell Octavia I'm sorry."

"I will." she replied, pulling back and finding tears in her eyes. "Goodbye Linc."

She left in the hatch while Kane carried Octavia.

***

Kane, Sinclair, Harper, Miller and Bryan were leaving Arkadia while I slept on Helios. "Lincoln." she muttered, opening her eyes and crawling off the horse.

She crawled closer to Arkadia before Avery helt her back, watching distance from Lincoln and Pike.

Lincoln was kneeling down on the floor while Pike was standing on top of him with a gun to his head. "Lincoln of Trikru, you have been sentenced to death by the rights of the Exodus charter. Any last words?" Avery heard slightly.

"Not for you." Lincoln said as he caught sight of Octavia and Avery at the gates.  "Meibi oso na hit choda op nodotaim." he told O. May we meet again.

Pike pulled the trigger, bringing a sob out of Octavia. She looked towards Pike, all her loss was replace by rage as Pike walked away, leaving Lincoln on the floor of Arkadia.
