I followed Octavia on our horses. I found out that Lincoln, Kane, and Sinclair were sentenced to death at dawn and Bellamy wanted to meet up with us as the dropship. We stopped the horses as Bellamy walked into the moonlight. I got off my horse and tied it to a post, as did Octavia. I could practically feel the anger radiating off the girl as she walked around the back of her horse, her eyes still trained on her brother.

"Glad you came," he said. Octavia looked around for any sign that he wasn't alone. "I'm alone, O. I'm here to help."

I pursed my lips as Octavia held out her arms. Bellamy stepped forward, about to hug her, when Octavia stepped him with a needle, causing him to fall unconscious.

Octavia caught him as she spoke. "Sleep, my big brother."

I quickly jogged to her, helping her carry him.

"He's a lot heavier than I thought," I grunted.

We brought Bellamy to a cave where Indra was waiting for us. I watched as his eyes slowly opened as he regained consciousness.

"It was a mistake to bring him here," Indra spat as she glared at Bellamy.

I crossed my arms as I spoke. "He was out the whole way. And I searched him for bugs."

"You think I'd let them hurt you?" Bellamy asked, looking at Octavia and me.

"Shut your mouth," Indra spat through gritted teeth.

"Indra, we talked about this," Octavia whispered as she stood beside the woman.

"You waste time," the grounder stated. "You should be in their camp by now."

Bellamy spoke up. "No, it's suicide. Pike will be expecting you. You won't get close. I can. We can save them, but we have to work together."

"You're the reason they need saving," Octavia spat. Bellamy's face fell. Looking at him now, even after everything he's done, I can't hate him. Like, something inside me is telling me I can't.

"Maybe, but that doesn't change the fact that you need me," Bellamy stated.

I looked at Octavia as she stepped forward. "For the first time in my life, that's not true."

I pursed my lips sadly as Bellamy's eyes watered slightly. Octavia walked out of the cave and Bellamy called out to her, but he couldn't move because we tied his hands and feet together.

"Package is on the move," Harper said into the walkie. "I repeat, package is on the move. We are a go. Okay, S, is your team in position?"

"Roger that," Octavia spoke. "We're in position and ready to intercept."

"We're a go," I muttered with a small smirk.

Octavia and I helped Lincoln, Sinclair, and Kane hide under the floor. We heard footsteps run into the room and faint voices before they disappeared. Octavia lifted a tile and peaked out.

"All clear," she whispered. I handed her the gun as she climbed out of the floor. I followed after her, helping Kane up. I took off the restraints from Lincoln as Octavia worked on Kane's.

"It's a little tight in there," Kane mumbled.

"Try doing it for 16 years," Octavia said mostly as a joke. Soon, Abby walked into the room.

"I told you not to do this," Kane stated.

"Why would I start listening to you now?" Abby joked causing me to smile. Miller walked into the room, taking the guns from Octavia.
