Nobody stops running in our mad dash to find Jaha and Ethan's bunk. I don't particularly care for Jaha, don't get me wrong. He's a necessary evil I have to live with. But the little boy? He doesn't deserve to die. He's done nothing wrong.

Leaving Miller to take a few warriors to scout the hallway, I sprint into the dorm with Octavia and Indra. Spotting one man about to launch himself at Jaha who's stood over the child, I yank out one of my daggers. Slamming my foot hard into his unsuspecting chest he falls backward and into the wall. Before he can raise his weapon I lean against his sternum with my knee, blade to his throat. "I'd stop if I was you", I warn him curtly, feeling no resistance or struggle against my knee.

Peering over my shoulder I see a warrior belonging to Azgeda at the end of Octavia's blade. "Stand. Down", Octavia tells the warrior in a hard voice.

"We secured the hallway", Miller informs us coming back into the room. Noticing Nylah off to the side, I glance over her to ensure she's alright. Finding no blood or bruising over her body a small wave of relief washes through me "Everyone's alive."

"What's going on?" Nylah questions us, curious as to why the warriors would be turning on Skairkru "They're talking about taking back the farm?"

"Yes", Indra nods "Skaikru sealed the doors and our fates. Still..." Glancing over at the warriors Octavia and I hold, Indra coldly states "You will die for this."

"No"

Clearly not agreeing with Octavia, Indra tells her "This is not like stealing blankets."

"They're scared Indra", Octavia replies "Hungry." When Octavia nods for me to get off the warrior I oblige. Giving the warrior one last threatening look I lean off his chest. He takes a heavy breath before scrabbling up and over to his partner. Watching both warriors carefully, Octavia tells them assertively "Tell your friends that I will find a way to take the farm back." Just like that, both are out the door quicker than lightening.

Miller breaks the silence that falls over us, "Safe to say Skaikru is screwed."

Whilst I hum in agreement with Miller, Jaha tells us with the boy in his arms "Our other bunker rooms will be the first place they look."
