"How did you do it?" Octavia asked low to Hope who frowned a little bit.

"It could be useful if you tell us all how to do it." Clarke looked at Hope.

"I don't- I don't think it's a good idea for me to share my personal heaven. But I can tell you how I did it." She said and they gathered around her.

"Please." Octavia looked at her, grabbing Hope's hand.

"You just have to imagine that you're there. That there's nothing that can hurt you. It will be your safe place. And yes, sometimes, you will try to break that bound between you and your fantasy but you can't." Hope said low.

"What was your heaven like? Who was there?" Jordan asked and she sighed.

"We all were. You and Octavia were dancing and Clarke and Echo were drinking." She mumbled.

"Bellamy?" Octavia asked and Hope glared at Clarke.

"He was dancing with me." Hope sighed. "But that's not important. What is important is that we need to focus on what makes us strong. You need to focus on someone that brings the best of you up, to be your main distraction from the pain you're feeling."

"And Bellamy was yours?" Clarke asked, crossing her arms which made Hope rolled her eyes.

"We're not having this conversation right now."

"Ok, so, focus on someone that makes me happy and use it as shield." Octavia looked at Hope who nodded her head slowly. "Got it. Can I get some sleep now?" She mumbled and they nodded. "Jordan, can you-can you stay a little bit?"

"S-sure." Jordan smiled gently and Hope and Clarke left.

"I'll bury her." Hope said as she walked outside. "You go see if he's okay."

"Well, as it much as it hurts me to tell you this, I think he'd prefer you go instead of me." Clarke mumbled and Hope looked at her. 

"You and Echo have history, Clarke. Either you liked her or not, it's not good for you to be the one burying her. Go talk with Bellamy. He needs you." Hope smiled gently and Clarke nodded.

Hope wanted to be the one comforting Bellamy but she knew Clarke wouldn't feel good burying Echo. 

"You need to leave" a voice behind her said ans she turned around quickly.

"Russell. You're here to kill us?" Hope asked.

"No. Alie doesn't even know I'm here and she can't find out. Hope, I don't want anything in return but you need to leave. She'll come for you. Echo was just the beginning."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Because I know the truth about Eligius 3 but Alie doesn't. Let's keep it that way."

"What truth about Eligius 3?" Bellamy asked as he approached them. "And why shouldn't I just kill you right now?"

"Bellamy." Hope said low, putting her hand on his chest to stop him from moving forward.

"You have 3 days before she attacks again." Russell said and he walked away, which made Bellamy groan and Hope look at him.

"What the hell are you hiding from all of us, Hope?"
