THE DEFECTORS FROM THE WONKRU CAMP HAD ARRIVED EARLIER. Diyoza had them all in shock collars for she wasn't positive if she could truly trust the traitors of Wonkru yet, which they completely understood. Like they told Falo, Diyoza and her men were better than to be under Blodreina's rule.
Diyoza threw Raven, Falo and Shaw in here when Diyoza found out Shaw betrayed them for someone he barely knew, for a clan he barely knew. He didn't kill Wonkru as planned. He betrayed them all.
But that was his own fault for betraying his own people for people he didn't even know.
Falo tensed when Echo walked through the set of wooden doors, glancing around the room. Raven almost dropped her food and hugged Echo, but Echo shook her head when Raven almost leaped into Echo's arms. They sat down on the couch by Falo.
"Heda, the years have been good on you." Echo raised an eyebrow, sliding her hands in between her thighs as Raven ate her food.
Falo chuckled. "Thank you, they've been good on you, too," she looked down. "How's Clarke and Madi?" she asked.
"Madi is fine, Octavia is training her to fight," Echo informed. Falo widened her eyes. "Don't worry. Gaia and Clarke supervise the fights from what Bellamy told me."
Falo laced her hands together. "How's Clarke, Echo?"
Raven scoffed. "Why do you want to know about Clarke so badly? And who is Madi?"
Falo frowned. "Madi is Clarke's and I's daughter," Falo watched as Raven shrunk into the couch. "And Clarke. . . Clarke is my girlfriend. We're together. Sounds cheesy and awkward saying that out loud like that, but yeah." she nodded.
The feeling stuck in Raven's chest, almost the feeling she felt when Clarke betrayed her the night Finn died, but the pain she felt right now was greater than before, maybe because she loved Falo more than she ever loved Finn.
The feeling of heartbreak burned and exploded in her chest, slowly turning into pure rage. The light in her eyes replaced by fury, her face hardening.
Raven turned her head to Echo. "Did you even try to wait for me, before you cheated on me with someone you don't even care about, or did you immediately get with the next person you saw, a replacement for me?" she scoffed. "I loved you. . . what a load of rubbish that was. You don't even like Clarke, why are you with her?"
Falo blinked. She never knew Raven was capable of loving someone again after Finn died. "I thought you were dead, Raven!" she shook her head. "Besides, I have always cared for Clarke."
"No, not always," Raven hissed. "So how long did it take for you to replace me? A day? A week? A month?" she questioned. Heartbreak was a hard thing to get over, and the hardest pill to swallow.
"Four years."
"Wow," Raven tilted her head at the ceiling so she wouldn't cry. "Once upon a time, you were all I ever needed and wanted. . . but now you wanna know what I want?" she asked.
"What?"
"I want you gone after we get out of here. I never want to see you again."
"Okay." Falo whispered. Why would she hook up with Clarke, then get in a relationship with her just because she thought Raven was dead? She was one dumb woman, but she was in love with Clarke and Raven.
Shaw walked over after he heard Raven and Falo fighting, "Falo also asked Diyoza to torture Raven, to turn her into one of Diyoza's lackey's to ensure Clarke's and Madi's survival. She didn't even care about anyone else dying, she just wanted those two out of the hundreds to survive." he informed Echo and Raven, before he walked away with a light scoff.
Echo clenched her fists. "You did what?!"
"Echo, I-"
"So, you were fine with leaving Monty, Harper, Bellamy, Octavia, Redick, Indra, Gaia and the rest of Wonkru to die by these people's missiles so long as Clarke and Madi got out safely?!" Echo scoffed. "I can't believe you right now!"
Raven sniffed and squinted her eyes. "You know, they're going to die with everyone else, heda. I think this is the biggest mistake you've ever made in your entire life," Raven glanced at the miners stationed at the doors. "How were you planning on getting them out of there before Diyoza blew our friends up to pieces?"
"Diyoza radioed her. She turned off the other lines so that Clarke would be the only to hear her," Falo crossed her arms. "That's how."
Echo cleared her throat. "Okay, enough. I don't even wanna hear about your betrayal anymore, Falo," she shut her lips close. "I'm betting that, by now, my girl, Raven, figured out how to slip her collar." Echo smiled, her mug in hand.
Raven shook her head.
"They're watching us," Echo pointed out. "But there's something I need you to see. Let's go get some water. Falo, wait here."
Falo smirked. "All I ever do is wait, what's some more waiting?"
Raven and Echo glared at her.
Sighing, Falo knew this was going to be hard to mend these relationships, or well, these friendships back together.
What Falo did was almost unforgivable, but Falo hoped they could one day make up.

THEY STOOD IN THE CHURCH AWAY FROM EVERYBODY. They needed to speak about their escape plan and how to help Monty with his part in the entire escape plan. Man, Falo missed Monty a ton.
"There are times in war where you have to do the wrong thing for the right reasons. This is one of those times," Echo explained to Raven after she just proposed an idea. "Besides, you said yourself, they can't kill him. They need him."
Raven balled her fists. "We are not betraying the one friend that we have here. He will take me to the bridge. I just need more time."
Falo sighed, shaking her head. "We may not have more time, Raven."
"Well, we're going to need time, alright?" Raven shouted, her eyes full of fury.
