I woke up that morning with a clear vision of everything I had to get done: first, I had to make sure the kids were alright and taken care of; then, I had to tie as many loose ends as I possibly could and I had to come up with a plan that could get me out of there without Octavia knowing; I also had to sneak from Roan for I'd rather not see the disappointment in this face as he learned what I was planning on doing. Was my plan reckless and insane? Yes, but I wouldn't bring anyone to die with me nor for me. I decided I should check on Monty too, assuming he'd back in the computer room for his meeting with Cooper had been earlier on.
- "Hello?" -I opened the door, not seeing anyone there- "Monty?"
- "Down here." -Harper rose her hand from behind the table- "We're here."
- "Are you okay?" -I rush to their side, seeing them both sat with their backs to the table and fingers interlaced- "What happened? Are you hurt?"
- "No." -Harper rose her hand, prompting me to sit down in front of her- "We're okay."
- "Why are you sat here instead of enjoying the sun or working on the hydro farm?" -Harper pointed with her head at Monty- "What did Cooper do?"
- "It wasn't Cooper." -he rose his head to meet my gaze- "It was Bellamy and Clarke. It's always them."
- "You can tell me what's happening, I can't help if I don't know."
And, as I sat there with them, seeing the broken spirit Monty had become and how Harper had decided to stand by him, how he explained what had happened and what he had seen in the room, how they discovered Octavia's plan and how they decided that killing Cooper would be the best idea, I realized no one in this fucking bunker had learned anything from their mistakes. There were two things I was having trouble believing, not because I didn't trust Monty, but because it was surreal: first, Octavia had not even bothered telling me about her damn plan and, second, Bellamy and Clarke had decided that I wasn't important enough to learn about it. Of course not, it's always them having to be in control, only they can make choices now apparently. It was time.
- "Thank you for telling me." -I squeezed Monty's hand before raising up- "I'll go check what's happened."
- "While I don't agree with what they've done," -Harper looked at me- "those worms would have destroyed the valley and killed our friends."
- "I know, which is exactly why I'm going to speak in private with Octavia and I'll do whatever has to be done to end that delusional idea of hers. I promise I'm not going to let anything else happen to our friends in the valley, alright?"
