The mines under mount weather were long and dark, it was a wonder how Clarke remembered where to turn and what way to go. Turning the hundredth corner, we reach our destination and also a very on guard Octavia as she readies to strike.

"Octavia" i let out in relief at the sight of her alive. I pull her into a tight hug before she pulls away and turns at the sight of Clarke.

"you stayed" Clarke observes while i look in the bin next to Octavia.

"Screw you, of course i stayed i know where my loyalties lie" Octavia exclaims as i peer into the bin and my heart drops at the sigh "Fox" i mumble while gently closing the eyes of one of the people I've sworn to protect "may we meet again"

"we have to get in there" Clarke ignores Octavia's blow as she tries to run to the door but Octavia stops her by garbing her arm, must run in the family.

"if that was possible do you think i'd still be out here?" Octavia rhetorically asks before they both turns to face Fox's lifeless body.

We're all silent for a moment, just staring at our former friend before Octavia asks "why did Lexa sound the retreat?"

"because she's weak, she made a deal to free her people but not ours so she left us on our own" i spit with venom before Clarke rushes past me and towards the door.

She starts pounding on the door as Octavia and i pull her away "stop, they'll know we're here"

Clarke turns away from us as she seems to be having a panic attack but Octavia doesn't care as she bombards her with more questions "where's Lincoln, there's no way he'd have gone along with this"

"he didn't, he was forced to leave along with Cassius" i answers, leaving Clarke to have her panic attack.

Clarke seems to snap out of whatever daze she was in before pulling out a gun and pointing it at the keypad.

Octavia pushes the guns down while i stand in her line of sight.

"what is wrong with you"

"i am getting through that door" Clarke snaps.

"we're not desperate enough to shot through that then get caught because then we'll be in the same boat as everyone else" i snap back at her before Octavia snaps at her too "Bellamy's counting on us and you're about to ruin everything we've worked hard for"

"what do you want from me" Clarke yells in frustration.

"you trusted Lexa, you let a bomb drop on Tondc you let all those people--" Octavia starts before getting cut off by Clarke who has tears in her eyes "i am doing the best i can"

"you don't have to do the best you can, you're not in charge. maybe if you would just back off and let Wren lead, people wouldn't die" Octavia's voice grows low and threatening as she tells Clarke something I've told her a lot, to just step back and let me lead.

We stand in tense silence before a beep comes from behind us as we all pull out our respected weapons. Octavia with her sword, Clarke with her gun and me with my bow and arrow, all ready to attack whoever comes out of that door but we all lower them as we see Bellamy approach.

"Bellamy" Octavia is the first to snap out of shock as she wraps her brother in a hug.

Once they pull away, i don't give Bellamy time to react as i basically tackle him into a hug "i'm so glad you're alive" i mutter into his shoulder as i feel tears well up in my eyes. 

Its been so long since I've seen him and during that time, i realized how much i needed Bellamy. He was the light in my darkness and i don't think i would of been able to make it through all this without him.
