"Tell your friends to follow you."
Octavia clears her throat "It says to follow...".
Octavia
I swear to god if I gotta kill anyone with my bare hands"We all follow you?" asks Shangag, pointing at himself. "Yeah. Follow me." Octavia says in a nervous tone, which is out of the ordinary for her. Trey snorts "So we just gon' follow her?". "I mean it was your idea for her to wear the helmet wasn't it?" Shaadira responds sarcastically toward Trey, which makes him frown and points a finger at her "Don't sass me little girl.". "We have to surrender to proceed," Daniel replies, acting as if it's perfectly reasonable to do so. His voice sounds cheery, but his smile is forced.
"Walk down the hallway."
Octavia leaves the green room and enters the hallway she immediately sees. Everyone follows her, even Trey, who's muttering "I shoulda' never told her to wear that damn helmet" under his breath.
"Get onto the stairs alone."
"Stay here," she tells the guests, who have all gathered at the foot of the stairs, directly in front of the door "Stay here.". "Wait." Josh frowns "We all stay here?". Octavia nods as she waits for her next instructions.
"Kiersten, I got you," murmurs Sophia, hugging the girl close to her chest.
"Ask your friend for his weapon."
Octavia is perplexed, ask for his weapon? That's when she realizes which friend it's talking about. "Josh." She says out loud obviously grabbing the attention of Josh "Yeah?".
"Ask him for the weapon!"
"Hand me your gun Josh." Octavia flatly says, now wanting to hide her worry. "Wait, what?" Josh says hesitantly, his hand on his gun. "Just give it to me!" Octavia demands, Josh jumps back, startled. Though, Josh gives in and hesitatingly hands her the gun. Sophia's voice shakes, "Octavia, what's going on?" Octavia clenches onto the gun.
"You can handle this."
As cold laughter rings in her ears, Octavia looks up to make eye contact with her bewildered friends.Octavia
Lord. Please, no. Don't do this. Don't make me...As much as Kiersten's scared of the Sorceress, she's a lot more scared of whatever the hell is about to come out of the crazypot known as Octavia Sullivan.
Kiersten
Especially when she has a gun. A FUCKIN GUN"Are you okay?" Shay asks, concerned for Octavia. Mary bites his lip "Octavia? What are you doing with Josh's gun?". "What are you doing?" Kai demands, wanting to know. "No, no, no," stammers Sophia "No, no, no, no, no..." trying to get behind everyone else. Kiersten and Bryan puts themselves between Octavia and the others, extending their arms out to protect their friends. Although, they are also very scared.
Kiersten
It's okay. We're gonna be fine.Bryan
Octavia might be under the spell of an evil helmet, but she wouldn't kill us. I know she wouldn't."Now point that gun at your friends."
Octavia actually doesn't want to do it. But she has no choice. She closes her eyes, and aims the gun at the cluster of her terrified friends.
"Octavia?"
"No!"
"Put it down!"
"Octavia! Stop! Octavia!"
Trey
She's fuckin lost it! Something's wrong with her head. I can only assume that it's the helm's fault. Why the hell would Octavia be threatening us with a gun right now?
