13th Clan

Reapers

Octavia POV

Lincoln has been missing for days. Lexa sent him to scout the reaper caves. I didn't want him to go but he said he had to go. I want to search for him but haven't had time since I became Indra's second. I hope he is alive.

Indra made me second after she caught Lincoln training me. She scolded him then told me I fought like a child. I was surprised when she told me she will make a great warrior if I am willing to be her second.

"Go stand watch with the other seconds." Indra demanded.

I head out to the woods were Atohl is guarding. He is near the path to Tondc. This is the boring part about being a warrior.

I step on a leaf on purpose and quickly speak. "Atohl."

"What are you doing here, Sky girl?" All of the other seconds called me that and did not like me.

"Indra sent me to join watch."

He scuffed and returned to his post. I stood near him.

After a while we heard a rustle. "Someone's out there."

"This one's mine, Sky Girl." Atohl went towards the noise.

After a moment I heard a grunt. "Atohl?" I started to approach where he went.

""Lincoln? What are you doing? Get away from him. I said get away from him!" I pushed him off.

Lincoln snarled at me. Blood covered his mouth. They turned him into a Reaper. He charged me. I dodged him. I dont want to hurt him. I have to save Lincoln.

"Lincoln. Stop." He charged me again. This time when I dodged I hit him in the hit with the hilt of my weapon. Lincoln stumbled before falling over. He was unconscious.

After dragging Lincoln to the dropship, I began to tie him up. I heard a noise coming from upstairs. I grabbed my sword and prepared myself for a fight. "Who's here?"

"Don't attack. I'm coming down." A familiar voice called out. As a male started to climb down the ladder I recognized who it was.

"Murphy? What are you doing here?"

"Surviving. What about you?" He nodded to Lincoln.

"Trying to save him. Help me get him upstairs." We managed to get him upstairs and tied up. He is still unconscious.

"Can you watch him? I need to get Clarke."

"Why? What's in it for me?"

"Fine. Don't help me." I began to leave to get Clarke. Maybe Lincoln will still be unconscious by the time I get her.

"Wait. I'll stay and watch him." He sighed.

"Thank you." I continued down the ladder.

By the time I made it back to Arkadia it was late. The funeral was over so I went straight to Clarke's tent.

"Clarke?" I rushed in. She wasn't here.  When I exited, I noticed the guard outside Heda's tent.

"Ryder, is Clarke in there? I need her." He sighs and nods.

"Heda, Octavia seeks Clarke." He calls out in the tent. He does not enter though. We wait for a few minutes before Clarke exits.

"Clarke, I need you to come with me to the dropship."

"Why? What's happen?" She seemed irritated.

"Its Lincoln. Bring your med kit." I began to lead her to her tent.

"Wait. Lincoln?"

"Please, Clarke. I'll explain on the way."

"Murphy? What are you doing here?" Clarke was surprised to see him when we entered the dropship.

He smirked at her. "I'm asking myself that same question."

There was some banging upstairs. "Yeah. By the way, he is awake. The restraints are holding"

I rushed upstairs. Seeing Lincoln restrained, covered in blood, and acting crazed hurt me. I wanted him back to the way he was. Not this reaper. I was kneeled by him by the time Clarke made it up. She was in shock.

"Can you help him?"

"I don't know." She shook her head. "I knew Mount Weather controlled the reapers...I had no idea they were creating them"

She moved closer. She was still in shock but also concerned. Lincoln seemed to be getting worse.

"He's convulsing." She began to examine him.

"What does that me?" I was agitated

"I need a light. Here on his neck." Murphy brought one over. I didn't even noticed him enter the room.

"Needle marks."

"You think he is drugged?" Murphy asked.

"Maybe."

------

It's been hours since Clarke arrived. Lincoln has been seizing on and off the entire time. Murphy has been sent to get Abby. He was reluctant at first. Hopefully they will be back.

Lincoln has stopped seizing for now. Everything seems calms. I moved back near Lincoln to check on him. He wasn't moving. "Lincoln..." I was starting to panic. "He's not breathing."

"His heart stopped." She moves to him and starts CPR. It wasn't long till he came back to us.

Abby enters the room with Murphy "Thank god." I was relieved to see her.

She immediately started to work with him. I did as she commanded when she needed us. His heart stopped again. I was desperate for Lincoln to be saved. Abby was able to get a heartbeat but it was weak.

"Lexa. What are you doing here?" Clarke was surprised to see Lexa enter from below.

"Our people are traveling to Tondc. I received word that you were here with Lincoln and Octavia." She has a caring look while looking at Clarke but when she looked around the room her facial expression became emotionless.

"Lincoln..." He was unresponsive again. I feel like I'm losing him.

Abby moves me off of him and starts CPR again. After a while she stops.

"You're stopping. What's wrong?" No. Don't say it.

"I'm sorry. He's gone." She steps back.

"NO, it's not possible. You're wrong!" I'm not giving up on him. I see some wires and rip them from the wall. They are hot and I press them on his chest. It shocks him.

"Hit him again." Clarke demanded.

I hit him again and he takes a breathe in. I toss the wires to the side and hug him. "Lincoln"

"Octavia" He weakly says. I can never go through this again. I refuse to lose him.
