Octavia's POV

So the plan seemed to have gone wrong.  Very wrong.

Some disciples believed us.

Some didn't.

And now they're all fighting with each other.

Fucking hell. They're really pissing me off.

We needed to stop them. I turned around to ask what the others were thinking but they weren't there.

What!?

I searched for them in the fighting crowds. I didn't actually expect to find them fighting as well.

Disappointed but not surprised.

Well. I still needed to do something to stop this.

Getting closer to the battle I got even madder.

This is bullshit.

I needed to do something that would gain their attention. I guess simply speaking wouldn't work.

I drew the sword I have brought from earth out of its case and stabbed my sword into the ground.

"Enough!" I yelled.

Everyone turned to me so I continued before I lost their attention.

"What the hell are we doing here? You swore an oath to fight for all mankind. Well, look around you! We are mankind! We are one crew! If I kill you, I kill myself. If we keep killing each other, there won't be anyone left to save! Our fight is over.

    I know you're afraid to walk away from everything you've spent your lives training for. I am, too. But if we fight this war, we don't deserve to survive. We fail, we die!"

And with that I walked away.

Mic drop.

Bellamy's POV

Well damn.

Looks like my little sister is a badass.

The disciples were too stunned to do or say anything after Octavia's speech.They withdrew from battle.

The others and I gathered around in the dining room. We needed to plan our next move before the disciples recovered from the shock.

"So what now?" Emori spoke up

"Now we get the others from Sanctum and we go home.We did our part and now we know that Earth is survivable again."

"What? We can't just leave the disciples like this. That's a coward move."Clarke retorted and turned to look at me when saying the last part.

Ouch. I hope no-one saw.

But then I turned to Murphy who had raised his eyebrow at me.

Damn it that's not fair.

"So what do we do then?" Raven interrupted my inner monologue.

"We have to destroy the code to the other planet."Clarke explained.

"How do we do that?" Diyoza furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

That looked like a question Clarke didn't know the answer to either because instead of answering she looked at the ground, probably trying to think of something.

Gabriel jumped in her rescue. "I think I know a way to do that." When he had everyone's attention he continued. "We could use a virus to destroy the code. It would cut that planet off the anomaly system."

Clarke's POV

After the meeting was over everyone walked out of the room but before I could do that Bellamy grabbed my wrist turning me to face him.

"So this is your strategy? Throwing vicious insinuations at me?"

"Well I'm not the one ignoring what happened."

I pulled my hand out of his.

"What are you talking about? Nothing happened."

"Wow. Real mature."

I turned away to leave but he grabbed me again, this time with more force, and he turned me to him.

And then we were much closer than before. For a moment, I thought, I hoped, that he'd move just a few inches and close the space between us.

But "nothing happened" kept echoing in my brain. If it happened again now, he'd ignore it after again.

I had to protect my feelings. There were much more important problems at hand right now.

So I left.

Octavia's POV

A war was happening in my mind. I wanted to talk to Bellamy. I had missed my big brother. I thought he had died for god's sake and we haven't had a talk since I found out he was actually alive.

But I still wasn't sure how to approach him, since it was obvious he was not totally back to normal.

I still had to at least try to talk to him though. I was desperately looking for him.

Until I realized he might not have even left the place we were all at before. It was one of the few rooms I hadn't checked anyway so I went there expecting to probably find him.

However, I was not expecting to see Clarke literally storming out of the room.

Well, drama drama drama...

"What was that about...?" I startled Bellamy upon entering. He hadn't even seen me come in with how deep in thought he was.

Interesting...

"Huh?"

"Clarke seemed quite angry. You don't happen to know why, do you?"

He rolled his eyes at me. "Fuck off."

"Chill out big bro. I was just asking, no need to get your panties in a twist."

Bellamy groaned and buried his head in his hands.

He didn't reply so I just continued, more gently this time.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"It's complicated."

"It always is. Especially with the two of you."

Bellamy frowned, it was obvious he wanted to tell me something but was holding himself back. After a few minutes of silence he spoke up again.

"How was it complicated before? Like, uhm, Clarke and I, what were we like before?"

Well I'll be damned!

"So you don't know?"

"Not really... I have glimpses, sometimes, memories, I think, but I don't actually remember anything."

Wait, does that mean...

"You don't remember me either?"

I tried to not show how it hurt me but I was not very successful. At least that explained why he did everything he's done so far.

"I'm sorry."

"No, it's not your fault. Anyway I can tell you about Clarke if you'd like."

"That'd be great. And uhm maybe we could talk about you after? You know have some bonding time?"

Wow.

"Yeah, I'd love to.

So, Clarke. Well, you were always at each other's throats at first. But you started working together, you stopped disagreeing so much and eventually you became friends, best friends."

"So, did anything ever happen between us?"

O-M-G.

"Not really, but you know, the sexual tension was always there."

"Oh."

"Oh? That's all you got?"

"What else am I supposed to say? It's all a mess. And I don't even know how to fix it. I also had a girlfriend a few weeks ago? I don't even know how she came in the picture when the little I remember is mostly Clarke."

"Hey, slow down Bellamy. Whatever happened between you and Clarke can be fixed, you two are...

(Made for each other, meant to be together)

...good together. You're both smart, you'll figure it out if you stop being so stubborn.

As for Echo, you thought Clarke was dead, you were living on the ark with only 6 other people and Echo was...there. It might sound bad but you were both in a weird place mentally, you thought it'd be better."

Bellamy looked deep in thought and wasn't really looking at me so I just continued.

"I know it's a lot to take in. We could talk about something else if you'd like."

"I'd like that. What do you want to talk about?"

"Oh uhm whatever you want really. I wasn't looking for you to talk about anything specific."

I just missed you.

Suddenly he raised one eyebrow as if he had thought of something.

"Why don't you tell me all about this Bardoan guy of yours?"

"He's- uhm, you know we aren't- he isn't mine or anything..."

Dammit Octavia stop sounding like a schoolgirl with a crush.

That earned a chuckle out of Bellamy.

"Right, of course he isn't. Yet."

Yet. Oh my god.

"Ugh stoooop. Please bring the Bellamy who didn't talk to me back."

He, of course, knew I was kidding and only smirked at me.

He smirked at me.

Real Bellamy was slowly but surely winning over.

"Would you look at that? The famous Bellamy Blake smirk. Back on, like it never even left."

He shook his head at me but he was still smiling, even if he was trying to hide it.

"I should get going. But, uhm, I loved talking to you like that again. It's been a while to be honest. I don't know how much you remember but we had a bit of a fall out the last few years..."

"Well, despite the circumstances, I'm glad it's getting better now. Bye Octavia, I'll see you soon."

"Yeah, bye..."

I said goodbye but I was still standing there. I hesitated a bit but then I just did it.

I hugged him. And he hesitated a bit at first too but then he reciprocated.

He hugged me back.

I was slowly getting my brother back.

The Blakes are almost back...
