"THIS IS OCTAVIA. CAN ANYONE HEAR ME, DAMN IT?"

Falo gasped in relief along with Bellamy. Octavia may have been alive, but she was extremely frustrated. Bellamy quickly picked up the speaker and spoke into the radio. "O, it's me."

There was a long silence that fell. It made Falo feel a bit uneasy. What if the Praimfaya hit and they didn't know because the sensors were wrong?

But when Octavia Blake spoke up, her voice confused, Falo sucked in a deep breath of relief. "Bellamy?"

Falo snatched the speaker from his hand and spoke into it. "Octavia, it's Falo," she closed her eyes.

"I'm alive. I won." Octavia informed them. Falo smiled. She had little doubt Octavia would win against Luna, but she should've known better. Octavia Blake was a survivor. Falo looked at everyone else who seemed to be surprised. Clarke turned from everyone, her eyes darting around the room. "What the hell did you guys do?"

"It wasn't us, but we'll fix it." Bellamy promised his sister.

"Listen to me," Octavia paused. "When I won, I decided to share the bunker with everyone. A hundred from each clan," Falo smiled, her chest exploding with the feeling of proudness. She didn't think of that before, what a fool she was. She was happy she was actually trying to save everyone. "Kane is out there buying us time, helping them select their people, and Gaia somehow convinced Falo's scouts to lock down the temple. But if anyone finds out Skaikru stole the bunker, we're all dead."

"Copy that." Bellamy sighed.

"We're on our way." Falo finished.

The door to the office open, causing Falo to glance at the door. Miller and a few Skaikru guards walked in. She looked at Jaha and immediately knew what he was doing. Her hand went to her sword, only to be reminded it wasn't there.

"Turn off the radio." Jaha ordered.

Nobody moved.

"Thelonius, we can save them." Abby stated. Jaha's stance remained the same and so did his expression, it was cold.

"O, we're gonna need some time. . ." Bellamy told Octavia, his voice full of pain.

"Wait, what?!" Octavia gasped. "Bellamy, we don't have-" her voice was cut off when Jaha turned the radio off.

Bellamy shouted in rage. "Did you hear her?! The grounders are listening to her, but they won't be for much longer, especially when they find out their commander was taken hostage, and I bet the the only way Gaia was able to convince her scouts to even lock down the temple was to tell them Skaikru kidnapped their commander!"

"We have to let them in, Jaha," Falo cut in, her voice cracking. "We have to open that door," she held his gaze, her eyes pleading. "For God's sake, please! I can't lose Octavia like I did Raven, you bastard!"
