WORDS UNSPOKEN ➸ BELLAMY BLAKE (2)

{017}

When Octavia and the rest of the people that were in the bunker were on the ground hell broke loose. Or it was going to break loose. I could see it in Diyoza's eyes. She was planning something and I don't even want to know what because I know it's not going to make me happy. 

I walk over to her and grab her arm. Her second in command or whatever he is points his gun at me and I look at Diyoza. She sighs and looks at the man behind her.
''Stand down,'' she then says. 

Smart. It would be really stupid if she would have let him shoot. They both wouldn't have seen the end of it. Everyone would have made sure of that. And they would have regretted whatever they would have done then. 

''Whatever you're planning, don't do it. I hope your smart enough to not pick a fight with me or all these other people here,'' I tell her with a smile. 
I think back about all the things the grounders have done and can do. Diyoza would be cowering away in a corner would the grounders attack her army. 

''I'm not afraid of you.''
Funny, how she ordered someone to kill me. If she wasn't afraid of me then she wouldn't have tried to kill me. 

''I don't care if you're afraid of me or not. You should be afraid of them. One time we were at war and the only thing that stopped those people were fire. They were burned to death. That was the only way. So if I tell you to be afraid of them then I mean it. And after all, I'm one of them, so you should be afraid of me after all.'' 

I don't wait for her to say another word, I just walk away. I know it's not smart to turn my back to her after what I said but I don't care. I'm not afraid of her and I don't think she dares to hurt me after what I just told her. 

I walk over to Octavia and interrupt her conversation.
''I need to talk to you.''

The woman she was talking to looks at me and slowly bows. I look at her and then I look at Octavia. I want to know how she feels about this. About slowly losing her position. I know that she has been their leader for over six years but I think that the grounders never forget their previous commander. 

The girl walks away to give Octavia and me some space and I'm actually happy with that. Not everyone has to hear this.
''You know that I was pregnant before I went up in space right?'' I ask her.

She nods and I can see her eyes moving to my belly real quick. But then she looks back at me. I wonder what happened to her to look so mad the whole time. 
''It's a boy. You're an aunt, Octavia. And when you meet him, I want you to behave like an aunt and not like a leader, do you understand me?'' 

If she's going to meet him and look all mad and grumpy I'm gonna be really angry at her. And I'm going to make sure that's she's never going to forget about that if that's the case. Which I hope is not. 

''I understand,'' she nods. 

i give her a hug and close my eyes. Now here is the part where I tell her his name but I'm kind of wary about how she's going to react to it.

''We named him Lincoln.''
Octavia immediately lets go of me and looks at me with wide eyes. I take a deep breath and prepare myself for what is to come. 

''I don't know what to say to be honest, but thank you. I promise you, I'll be the best aunt he has ever had,'' she says with a smile. I smile back and wanted to hug her again because I didn't really know what else to do but suddenly there's a loud explosion and someone screams. 

I turn around and see Diyoza standing next to the now blown up fountain and another man of her army with a huge weapon in his hands. This is her huge mistake and she's going to pay. I warned her and she still did it.
