When morning breaks as the storm moves past them, Wonkru breaks their hold and separate. Eleven dead from the sandstorm, many more injured, cut, and struggling to breath because of glass in their lungs. There was no possible way they could reach the Valley in time.

It was time to retreat.

As Cooper made the announcement of their change in plans, all of Wonkru gather and pack their belongings. Those who could move that is. Many tended to others much like Clarke was with Octavia. Clarke settles beside the younger Blake to examine her arm. The muscles damage was minimal for now, only time would tell with how it healed. For the time being she should be fine.

"Thank you for saving my life." Clarke smiles and nods, courteous to Octavia, while Bellamy walks towards them.

"You saved ours." He kneels down and helps his sister sit up.

What was meant to be a heartfelt embrace and reunion turns dark with a threat. Words spoken from Octavia that Bellamy never thought he would hear. Bellamy could never speak out against Wonkru again. If he does he will be seen as the enemy. And an enemy of Wonkru was never a good thing...

Clarke and Bellamy share a glance while Octavia looks around at her people. Too much has changed and they barley had enough time to understand it all. The change in their people, the new Octavia and her threats... the loyalty and sheer determination to follow orders from Wonkru, the change between Clarke and Bellamy, including all of Spacekru. It was all overwhelming. That is to say not including the factor of the children. A factor that Octavia herself has not forgotten.

"Who was the kid on the radio?" Octavia voice suddenly breaking through the silence. Her curiosity catching the two off guard.

"It's a long story." Bellamy says while looking at Clarke. She bites her lower lips and looks away.

"That's an understatement." She mumbles, but the Blake siblings still hear. Bellamy chuckles and shakes his head. They had a lot to talk about and yet so little time.
