"I know it took courage to be outside with us today." Jaha spoke as they put the bodies onto the pye. "We stand together now in the face of grave danger and grave tragedy. On the ark, rain like this was only a dream, and now it's a nightmare because we know it can turn at any second and kill us just like it did to 18 of our brothers and sisters who we honor today. Among them Willow, Erin, Samuel and Louis."

Jaha pointed the flame towards the pye but just before he did, Avery muttered 4 words. "May we meet again."

"May we meet again." Everyone repeated. Harper rested her head on Avery's shoulder as they watched the first set of bodies burn. The pair spotted Niylah muttering a few words in front of the bag Avery recognised was her mothers.

"Kirken sonraun en branon. Kom graun, oso na groun op. Kom folau, oso na gyon op." Niylah saw Avery aproaching her and smiled.

"That beautiful." Avery commented before looking to the bag in sorrow. "What does it mean?"

"From the earth, we will grow. From the ashes, we will rise."

Harper pulled Avery into the hanger bay with a smile. "Harper, this is a party."she reminded her as Harper pulled her towards a table and put a drink in her hands.

"Yes, Avery thanks for noticing. Now drink." Harper gave Avery a deathstare making her chug it down.

The alcohol felt like acid down her throat. Coughing, she wheezed to Harper. "What the hell was that?"

"The strong stuff."

"God, I haven't gotten drunk in so long."

"Exactly why you should." Harper told her, taking the cup and grabbing her hands. "Come on, you have 10 days to live. So live, eat, drink, be freee, whatever the hell you want." Avery smiled, taking the cup from Harper and downed it.

She spotted Bellamy from the entrance staring at her. Harper coughed, nodding her head towards Bellamy. "Whatever the hell we want?"

"Whatever the hell you want." Harper smiled back, Avery made eye contact with Bellamu, before walking towards him with a small smile.

"You too?"

"No, Harper kinda forced me to come out of the safety of the room to come here." She made a choice, stepping closer. "Come here, Dance with me."

"Avery, you know I don't dance."

"You know that dancing doesn't mean dancing right?" She whispered into his ear. He bit his bottom lip before grabbing her hand. "Trust me Bell,"

"You're killing me." He told her, dropping his backpack as they reached the table.

"Yesss." Jasper called as Harper laughed and Bellamy took the drink. "Let someone else save the world."

Avery smiled, sipping the drink of her own before grabbing Harper and walking to the bar. "What do i do now?"

"Whatever the hell you want."

"Harper McIntyre, I am freaking out and saying 'whatever the hell you want' is pissing me off." Harper only smirked. "What? Why are you smiling?"

"You're fangirling over Bellamy." She told her.

"I'm not fangirling."

"Oh yes, you are." McIntyre replied, making Avery smirk. Harper smiled, putting her hands on either side of her head and squished her face. "Sometimes actions speak louder then words."
