Our Journey (the Fourth Book in the Her Weakness series)

Chapter 80

Lexa's POV

We walk towards where the entrance is, where the wall that has the shoe rack is. It is connected to the room we are in. To the right of the small wall is a direct doorway to the kitchen. I had not noticed it was all connected until now. To the left is another hallway that Octavia leads us to. 

She turns immediately to the left when she reaches the hallway, turning into another hallway that leads to closed double doors. Octavia pushes the doors open to reveal that this is a bedroom. Most likely the master bedroom. We walk in and I smile softly. The room is very them. The bed is large but not excessively so, and looks very comfortable. There are night stands on either side of it. Across from the bed is a dresser and there is a door in the corner of the bedroom that looks like it leads outside.

"This is cool!" Raven says excitedly, running her fingers over the sheets. "Wait, where's the closet?"

"I could make so many great jokes about that, but I'll just show you."

There is another set of smaller double doors on the opposite corner that the door that leads outside is in. It leads to a large bathroom and to the right is yet another set of double doors.

"Wow you guys really like double doors, huh?" Clarke teases. She grins when Raven sticks her tongue out at her.

This set of double doors leads to a good sized walk-in closet.

"Oh dang. I love this. I'm so going to use this everyday." Raven says, looks around with excitement in her eyes.

"So... You're going to be coming out of the closet a lot?" Octavia asks, smirking.

Raven punches Octavia's arm and Octavia pouts at her.

I turn to look at the rest of the bathroom. The counter with the sinks is almost too long, with what looks like nearly enough space for me to lie down between the two sinks. There are cabinets underneath the counter and a large mirror over the counter, spanning nearly the entire space that is not filled by the counter. To the left of the it is a large bathtub. I have little doubt that Raven will install some kind of fancy thing to make it better. I cannot remember what Clarke calls it, but it shoots water into the water, creating pressure against you if you sit in front of it.

On the opposite side of the sinks is a single door that leads to a toilet to the left and a shower to the right.

"This place is nice," Clarke says.

Octavia smiles proudly. "Yeah it is! Just wait until you see where you'll be staying. Come on!"

After Raven and Octavia get the chance to look around their new bathroom for another minute or so, we follow Octavia out of the bedroom back to that hallway that leads to the main entrance. We take a left, turning away from the main entrance. In front of us are three, technically four, doors. Straight ahead is yet another set of double doors and on either side of them is single doors.

"The one to the right is more boring. It's the laundry room," Octavia says as she pushes the door open. "To the left is your guys' bathroom."

Clarke and I go in this one before Raven and Octavia. It is much smaller than theirs, approximately the size of their closet instead of their entire bathroom. To the left is a counter with a sink, cabinets underneath, and a mirror above it. There is a line of towel racks to the right along the wall and then a toilet. Right next to the toilet is a shower/bath combination. I am certain there is some fancy Gonasleng (English) word for it, but I will just call it that.

When we all manage to get out of the bathroom, Octavia pushes open the double doors. Inside is a nice-sized room with a couch in it and some tables lining the edges of the room along with some storage and closets.

"So are we sleeping on couches?" Clarke asks. "Hang on, didn't you guys invite all the people from the 100 to stay here if they want? Where the heck are you going to put them all?"

"Well, we're going to put you on this couch. And then the lucky ones get to sleep on the couch in the living area, the one near the bigger dining table," Octavia answers.

I raise an eyebrow. That couch does not look like it would comfortable fit one of us, let alone both of us.

Octavia begins taking off the cushions and I frown. What on Earth is she doing? She takes them all off and then pulls on this handle underneath. The underneath of the couch pulls out and my eyes widen.

"Clarke she is breaking the couch," I murmur, alarmed.

"No, she's..." Clarke sighs. "You asshat, you could have just told us."

Octavia turns to smirk at Clarke. "Yeah, but where's the fun in that?"

"It's designed to do that," Clarke explains. "It's a couch that turns into a bed. Is the other couch like this too?"

"Yeah," Octavia answers. "Now you guys just need to put the sheets on and it's ready to go!"

Clarke shakes her head fondly but smiles at Octavia. "Thank you. Really. You didn't have to let us stay here with you guys."

"We're used to sleeping near you guys by now, it'll be weird without it. We're slowly weaning ourselves," Raven says and winks to let us know she is mostly kidding. "Now O! I want to see my workshop! If you guys want, you can come."

Clarke and I exchange a look and then nod. I am curious as to how her workshop turned out. I know that Raven let Octavia plan almost everything, but did give her input and told her what she wanted.

Next chapter, the workshop! Their house is nice, right? And hoo! Not even thirty minutes ago I turned in my final drafts of my papers for my writing class 0.0 On the bright side, I don't have any more eight ams or seven am wake ups for the rest of the year! On the dark side, I have an oral exam tomorrow in Spanish and so much to do for finals... Aah! I'm fine, I'll be fine! Thank you all for reading and for your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
