Chloe walked up to Bellamy's room after getting herself ready for guard duty for the masquerade dance tonight. She had never been inside Bellamy's room, oddly enough. Bellamy was always the one to come over to her place. It seemed pretty suspicious, but Chloe knew well enough not to dwell in other people's business / privacy. She knocked on the older boy's door and waited for a reply but she heard nothing.
"Hey, Blake. You in there? We got our shift now." She called out to him, hoping he would be behind the door.

A minute or so later, the older Blake came shuffling out of the room, behind him was a younger girl that was holding his hand with both her hands. Chloe tilted her head in confusion before realizing the situation.
"Your secret is safe with me." She whispered, causing the younger girl the look up at her. Gosh, she had the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. They were emerald green and sparkled with curiousity. Bellamy heard light footsteps heading straight towards them, making a patter sound on The Ark's metal floor. Bellamy pushed his room door open and dragged the two girl's inside before gently shutting the door behind them. The two girls decided to make a little conversation. Chloe smiled at the younger girl and held out her hand as a greeting.
"My name's Chloe."
The younger girl sheepishly smiled and shook Chloe's hand.
"Octavia." She whispered the name.
This made a smile curve at Chloe's lips. She repeated the name in her head multiple times before saying.
"Hm, Octavia. I like that name."
The younger girl giggled and smiled, looking up at her, her cheeks lightly flushed pink.

Chloe knew she had to keep this a secret. Bellamy had a younger sister that isn't supposed to be alive and if word got out that he did. His sister would be thrown into the Sky Box or in other words, Lockup and his mother would be floated for having a second child. The Ark had a strict policy about having a second child. They had to maintain the capacity of people on The Ark which meant no extra children. The fact that they would throw the second child in Lockup was sickening, like they can't help being born. Can they?

Chloe noticed the mask that was covering part of Octavia's face and realized that Bellamy was taking Octavia to the masquerade dance. Stupid right? Chloe dragged Bellamy by the arm to the corner of the room.
"You're fucking stupid, you know that? Do you know how risky this is?" Chloe pointed out the obvious.
Bellamy nodded and hesitantly stated his point.
"Yes, but she deserves this." He looked to where his sister was.
"O needs this and that's why you're going to help me."
"No shit! Obviously, I'm going to help you. You're never going to pull this off on your own." She responded.
Octavia was on the other side of the room, standing near the door to let the older boy and girl talk in private. Once they were sure the coast was clear, the three of them snuck out to the masquerade ball. Bellamy let go of Octavia's hand at the end of the hallway once they saw the group of students already dancing around to the music. The two new guardsman watched as the younger Blake scurried away into the crowd, both making sure to keep an eye on her at all times.

Chloe moved to her position that she was suppose to watch over, when Harper stumbled towards her. Even though Harper was wearing a mask, Chloe could immediately tell that it was her friend. She chuckled as the girl fell into her arms and pouted.
"So sad you had to miss the party for lousy guard duty." The girl slurred her words. "Drunk already, Mcintyre? New record. It hasn't even been 10 minutes since this so called 'party' started." Chloe spoke up, helping her blonde friend up, so she could stand.
Harper shifted majority of her weight onto Chloe as she was guided to a chair, that she slumped onto almost immediately after coming in contact with it. Chloe walked away back to her guard post leaving her friend there.

She had gotten distracted by Harper that she lost track of where Octavia was. Chloe got up onto her tippy toes so she could overlook the crowd. Just as she spotted the top of Octavia's head in the large crowd of students a loud bell rang and a dozen inspectors came swarming from the hallway surrounding the students. They each grabbed a student and checked their ID's. Chloe noticed Bellamy's panic as he hurried to Octavia trying to get her out of the room of students getting checked by inspectors when an inspector came over to check her.
"Hey! I already checked her. She's all good." Chloe called out, walking over towards the Blake siblings and the inspector.
"You're not an inspector, you're just a kid." The inspector said, grabbing the attention of a few other inspectors close by.
Bellamy had a tight grip on Octavia's arm ready to get her out of the situation when Major Byrne appeared from the group of inspection guards, just as Chloe was about to protest.
"Step away from the girl Perez. You too Blake." Major Byrne demanded.
Bellamy reluctantly let go of Octavia's arm, but before Major Byrne grabbed a hold of Octavia, Chloe jumped in front of the younger Blake, in between both Octavia and Major Byrne.

"Step away Perez. I won't ask again." The older guard clenched her jaw.
"You're gonna have to make me." Chloe stubbornly said.
She was willing to do anything to not get Octavia locked up for something that wasn't even in her control. Major Byrne stepped away and for a brief second, Chloe thought she had won, but then she got struck with an electric baton that made her whole body tense up. Soon after it made her collapse onto the floor, her eyes began to droop shut. She saw a blurry figure being dragged away by two guards. The girl in the grasp of two guards calling out her name constantly before being dragged out of sight.

Chloe rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands, trying to regain her vision as she stood up off the ground regaining her footing, ready to chase after Octavia when she was stopped by Major Byrne.
"Careful there Chloe, or I might think you were a part of this." The older guard sneered.
Chloe watched as Bellamy got hauled away by a few male guards down the hallway. She got up infront of Major Byrne's face and glared down at her.
"You bitch!" She snapped, each word was laced with venom.
The last thing she heard were the words,
"Get her out of my sight." Major had said to the other guards surrounding her.
She knew that Chloe wouldn't give up without a fight, so she got a few guards to strike her with an electric baton until she passed out, cold, onto the metal Ark floor.
