FALO WOKE UP TO THE SOUNDS OF ABBY RETCHING, her own stomach twisting from the god awful putrid stench and just the noise of the vomiting itself. Her eyes fluttered open to see Madi hovering above her. She furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head for she thought this was just another hallucination. How would her daughter be here?

"You're not real." Falo rolled onto her knees, her hands somehow soaked in saline solution, probably from Madi accidentally pouring it all over the floor and Abby. "Please. . . please . . . leave me alone. I can't take this anymore."

Which was true. The more she saw hallucinations, the more crazy she was going. She felt like drawing would've help heal her if closure was what she couldn't find for her lover, daughter and brother, but it seemed like it didn't work. Whatsoever.

Madi looked at Clarke who was holding her mother in her arms. "Falo, we're real. Why are you. . . what happened here?" Clarke whispered in concern and wonder.

Falo had her hands on her head, standing up. "Gon we. . . beja." she pleaded, her eyes watering.

"Why does she want us to go?" Madi asked.

"I don't know!" Clarke yelled, standing up to help her lover overcome whatever this was. "Falo, it's-"

Falo pushed Clarke away, her body colliding into the table. "Yu nou laik fousen," she shook her head when Clarke staggered to her feet. "You're not real."

The moment Falo realized this was all real was when the doors opened and in came McCreary with a few men, shaking a bottle of Abby's pills in his hand to taunt Abby. Falo looked at Clarke and Madi, her eyes widening.

"Doc, we ready to get back to work?" he stopped short when he saw Clarke and Madi. "How the hell did you get here?"

Shit, Falo thought.

FALO STOOD NEXT TO CLARKE AND MADI ON THE SHIP. Falo was supposed to be in the medical room with Madi and Abby, but Clarke convinced McCreary Falo could help them figure out where Wonkru was, so now they were overlooking the map McCreary pulled up, he was going to kill everyone in the gorge and in the bunker once they were able to figure out how to lock them onto the screen again if they overrided whatever Wonkru did.

Probably Monty's work. Smart son of a bitch, Falo thought.

Besides that, McCreary promised he would leave Clarke, Madi and Falo alone if they helped him plan this attack out and kill the rest of these savages, aka their "friends". That meant they could finally live in peace again, they could be safe. Falo couldn't wait. No more fighting.
