Once we arrived at Polis and got into position, I made Roan a signal as we saw him coming into the plaza with a gagged and tied up Sam, which I wasn't keen at all on. I clenched my jaw and took a deep breath, knowing this was the plan and what he had to do.
- "She's going to be okay."
Clarke whispered next to me. Let's hope we all get out of this one. Roan announced himself, showing the Flame around and asking for Ontari to come down to get it, just as we had planned; soon enough, everyone around them rose and Roan asked again to see Ontari, more so demanded, his voice loud enough for us to hear it. Noise came from the Tower's entrance, but it wasn't Ontari, it was Jaha.
- "What the hell is he doing here?" –Octavia was quick to speak as soon as we saw him.
- "You see Ontari?"
- "No." –I was quick to answer Miller without moving my eyes from Roan, Sam, and Jaha- "Hold."
Jaha stood in front of Sam and after no more than 5 seconds, Sam immediately tried to throw herself onto him, attempting to get him but being quickly pulled back by Roan.
- "Something's wrong." –Octavia murmured, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
- "Why are you saying that?" –Bryan asked her.
- "You've seen Sam trying to kill Jaha just now."
- "It's Sam..."
- "She wouldn't risk the whole plan if Jaha hadn't pressed an unlucky button."
As Octavia spoke, Sam turned to look in our direction; her eyes said it all: something really was wrong. A second later, Roan pulled her back to him, a blade to her neck as the chipped people started to surround them.
- "Do it!" –I yelled at Bryan and Miller, concern spilling with my words as I saw the blade to Sam's neck. This is not happening again- "Now!"
- "On your knees!" –a couple of Grounders came from behind us, efficiently startling us and frustrating our plan- "Drop your weapons!"
We tried to fight them back, but they had taken us all by surprise, grabbing our weapons and making us face the wall to see what was coming next. Roan pulled Sam with him and they started to run away, but Kane came out of nowhere, shooting Roan. He's chipped too. Sam fought back, not killing anyone but hard enough to get rid of them, trying to get to Roan but failing as two other Grounders took him away. I couldn't tear my eyes away from her; she was alone in the middle of everything and I couldn't help her. It was eating me alive. Jaha must have shouted something at her as she turned around and then, she froze.
- "Is that...?
Octavia asked as we were being tied up, her voice was nothing more than a whisper, but she was worried and she didn't even bother trying to hide it; I squeezed my eyes, looking everywhere around Sam to understand what Octavia meant and, as Sam moved slightly to one side, I saw him.
