What Is and What Should Never Be

"Bell, its a Djinn!" Clarke said as she stood from the table holding out the book in front of her towards him.
"A genie, really?" He responded as he took the book from her, reading over the pages, "I knew there was a reason we keep you around."

"Please, I'm one that keeps you around." She replied before pulling out her phone, a smile never leaving her face, "Hey O. We are pretty sure we are hunting a Djinn." She shook her head and laughed, "That is exactly what your brother said. Come back and we'll figure out the best places to start looking." She sighed into the phone, "That isn't a good idea…...one hour, then come back."

"She looking into something?" Bellamy asked, noticing the frustrated tone in his girlfriend's voice as he sat down on one of the beds.

Clarke sank down onto the mattress next to him, "You know your sister, thinks she can take on the whole world by herself. She insisted on checking out this warehouse that is abandoned just outside of town."

Bellamy wrapped his arm around her waist, "What should we do for the hour?"

Clarke laughed as she returned his embrace, "What we should do is work on finding a way to kill the Djinn, but I think you have other ideas."

He moved her hair out of the way and kissed her neck, "That I do." He said against her skin before they fell backwards onto the bed.


Octavia knocked her flashlight against her hand and grumbled under breath, "Stupid piece of crap." A noise on the other side of wall caused her head to pop up and her hand instinctively went to her gun. She kept it raised as she rounded the corner and it was knocked from her hand, before she had a chance to fight back the Djinn had her pressed against the wall and the world disappeared in a flash of blue.


Octavia woke up with a start and she looked around her in confusion. The room she was in was painted a baby blue and it was plastered with band posters, the furniture was a dark finish and nicer than anything she had ever owned. The bed was a four poster in the same wood and the mattress was the most comfortable thing she had ever experienced.

She slowly swung her feet over the edge of bed and noticed she was wearing a purple fit and flare satin dress. She walked over to the full length mirror in the corner of the room and let out a shocked gasp at her appearance. She couldn't help but think it was the best she had ever looked and that included her high school prom night. There were black 4-inch heels sitting next to the mirror and she couldn't stop herself from slipping into them.

"Octavia, we need to go now or we are going to be late." A familiar voice called and Octavia ran out of the room.

She stopped when she reached the top of the stairs and slowed in her descent, her breath getting heavier with each step she took. And it all left her body when she reached the final step to see someone who had been long dead standing there, "Mom?"

"You look beautiful honey." Aurora said with a smile as she turned around, a grey coat in her hand, "Here, your brother will kill us if we are late."

Octavia took the coat but continued to stare at her mother with an open mouth, she managed to wet her lips and ask, "How are you here?"

Aurora narrowed her eyes at her daughter, "What are you talking about? Are you feeling alright Octavia?" She asked as rose her hand to Octavia's forehead, "You aren't warm."

"I'm not sick." She responded, and leaned in to throw her arms around her mother, "I missed you so much Mom."

"I missed you too sweetie, but we have a few weeks before the next semester starts, that gives us more then enough time to catch up." She assured her daughter as they pulled apart, "Come on, we have a dinner to get to."

Octavia nodded and shrugged into her coat, she wiped at her eyes as she followed her mother, but her mind still couldn't understand how this was all real.


Octavia couldn't help but smile all through the dinner she was currently involved in, especially since half the table should be dead. Clarke's parents were seated on the other side of her mother, happily smiling along to Aurora's tale of the troublesome toddler Bellamy was. Clarke was sitting next to her mother, with Bellamy's arm casually tossed over the back of her chair.

When Aurora had finished her tale, Jake called their attention to him and raised his glass, "To Clarke and Bellamy, may this just be the first of many happy anniversaries to come!"

"To Clarke and Bellamy!" They all repeated before taking a sip of their champagne.

"Thank you Jake." Bellamy said and then gave a shy smile to Clarke, "We actually have something to tell all of you."

Octavia joined her mother and Abby in a gasp, all the women having an idea of what was about to be announced.

"I'm pregnant." Clarke shared with a large smile and Jake immediately pulled his daughter into a hug and Octavia did the same with Bellamy.

"I am so happy for you big brother." She told him sincerely, and in that moment she didn't care if she ever woke up from this dream, everyone she loved was happy and that was all that mattered. She was going to enjoy this feeling for however long it lasted.

Her joy was short lived. As they waited on the curb outside the restaurant Octavia caught a glimpse of a woman in a dirty dress and she felt compelled to walk toward her. Her shoulder bumped into someone on the sidewalk and her eye contact with the woman broke. When she looked back again she was gone, almost as if she had never been there at all.

A hand wrapped around her arm and she turned to look at her brother, "What is going on with you tonight? You've been…..distracted."

"I….I am fine Bell. I've just got a lot to think about." She gave him a small smile, "I am so happy for you and Clarke, you deserve this happiness."

Bellamy's brows furrowed as his eyes searched over her, "Something is bothering you O. I want you to tell me what it is."

Octavia's eyes drifted to their mother talking with Clarke and her parents before she looked back at her brother, "I am afraid all of this is just an elaborate dream made to let me live out my most secret wish and soon I'll wake up to a nightmare."

Bellamy pulled her into a hug, "This is not a dream Octavia, it is reality and we are just living our lives the best way we know how." He kissed the top of her head before he pulled away, "No matter what universe we are in, I love you."

"I love you too big brother." She replied and gave him another hug before they walked back to the group.

Octavia couldn't bring herself to focus on the conversation that her family was having as they waited for the valets to get their cars. She could only think about the woman she had seen and what that could mean. She was shaken from her thoughts when Clarke nudged her with her shoulder, "You are not nearly as excited as I thought you'd be to become an aunt."

"I am excited Clarke." Octavia tried to assure her friend, and apparently sister-in-law, but she could see that the blonde did not believe her, "This is exactly what I've always wanted for you and Bell."

"Then why aren't you acting like yourself? What are you thinking about?" Clarke insisted and pushed them to the side a bit just as the valet returned with Aurora's car.

"It isn't important." She said quickly and extracted herself from the conversation and walked toward the car, "I am looking forward to meeting my niece or nephew."

Clarke opened her mouth to say something but Aurora distracted her with a goodbye hug, giving Octavia the opportunity to get into the car, after waving goodbye to the Griffins. She leaned back with a sigh, she needed to find the Djinn before she allowed herself to just accept the life this new reality provided for her and forget about the real one.


Well after midnight Octavia quickly threw on clothes that were better suited to hunting than a statin dress before she opened up her computer. She knew where to find the Djinn but she needed to make sure she knew how to kill it. The websites all seemed to have different opinions of what a Djinn could do, but they all agreed on how to kill it, a silver knife dipped in lamb's blood. She shut down the computer and when the black screen appeared a reflection was standing behind her own. She quickly turned around to look and there next to her bed was the woman again.

The woman looked paler, dirtier, and all together weaker than when she had appeared to Octavia only a few hours earlier. Octavia slowly approached her, never losing eye contact, "Who are you?"

The woman was silent as her frightened green eyes stared at Octavia, she licked her cracked lips and opened her mouth but no words came out. Then, just as suddenly as she appeared, she disappeared in a flickering fade that reminded Octavia of a ghost.

"That can't be a good sign." Octavia mumbled to herself as she grabbed the bag she packed before taking a catnap as she waited for her mother to fall asleep.

She quietly moved from her bedroom down to the kitchen and began looking through the drawers for a silver knife. It took her longer than she had expected it to but she eventually found a set of silver in a china cabinet. She slipped two of the knives into her pack before she went to the garage, she had one more thing to steal from her mother.


Six hours later Octavia was sitting outside the abandoned warehouse where she had been attacked by the Djinn. She carefully removed her knives from the lamb's blood she gotten from the local butcher shop, she put one in her pocket and kept the other in her hand. With a sigh she got out the car and walked toward the building. She kept her knife in one hand and used the other to keep ahold of the flashlight she would need once she was in the building.

Her phone began to vibrate in her pocket and she swore under her breath. She carefully shifted the knife to her other hand and got out the cell phone, Bellamy's name was displayed on the screen. She swiped to accept the call, "Hello big brother."

"Where are you Octavia?" His angry voice yelled into her ear.

"I have to do something Bell, this isn't reality and as much as I wish it was, the really you needs me to come home." She told him, and fought back the tears that were pricking at her eyes.

"This is real life O, don't do whatever it is you are planning on doing." Bellamy pleaded with her.

"I'm sorry Bell." She said before hanging up the phone, she turned to off and slipped it back into her pocket. It was time for the moment of truth.

The door to the warehouse creaked the same way as it had the first time and the everything else seemed the same as it had before she was attacked. She made her way slowly toward the center of the warehouse, her eyes on a constant look out for the Djinn. Her eyes widened in shock when she turned a corner to see the woman she had been seeing hanging from a support, a blood bag attached to her body. Octavia increased her speed and headed toward the woman.

"Octavia!" A voice called and she stopped in her tracks.

She slowly turned around, "How are you here Bell?"

"Why couldn't you just let go?" He asked, smiling at her as he approached.

"We were happy O." Clarke's voice added and Octavia turned to see her emerge for the shadows on her right.

"Haven't you always wished for more time together?" Her mother asked and came up from her left.

"This is the life we should have O." Bellamy said, his eyes pleading with her.

Clarke slipped her arm around him, "This is the life we deserve, why did you have to question it?"

"This isn't real!" Octavia screamed and the flashlight fell from her hand as she raised it to stop them from coming closer, "The real versions of you need me!"

"This life is better, we can finally be the family you have always wanted us to be." Aurora said and reached for Octavia, "We can all be happy, together."

Octavia lowered her hand and tears started to leak from the edge of her eyes, "I do want this, it is what I have always wanted but it isn't real."

"But it can be, if you let it." Clarke insisted and rested her hand on her stomach, "We can truly be a family."

Octavia clenched her hand tighter around her knife, "This is all just a dream."

"It is only just a dream if you don't accept it, just let go of the past Octavia." Aurora said and took a few steps forward, "Give me the knife and we can go home."

"You are right," She answered her mother, "I need to go home." She raised the knife and stabbed into her chest.


"Octavia! Octavia! I need you to wake up!" Bellamy's voice drifted through the haze and she opened her eyes.

She was back in the warehouse, only this time she was hanging from the rafters and Bellamy was standing in front of her. A flash of blonde to her left showed her that Clarke was checking on the woman victim. She licked her lips and her eyes went wide, "Behind you!"

The Djinn pulled Bellamy away from her and threw him across the room. She tugged at her bindings to get to her brother, who was struggling against the Djinn.

Clarke quickly jumped to his aid and stabbed the creature in the back with her knife. It reared back and advanced on her, the knife still sticking out of his back. The distraction gave enough time for Bellamy to get his own knife free.

"Hey!" He yelled and the Djinn turned back around to him. Bellamy smirked and plunged the knife into the Djinn's chest, "That is for going after my sister you son of a bitch."

"Are you alright?" Clarke asked, her gaze briefly going to the dead creature between them before looking at him.

"I'm good." He told her and she nodded before going over to the woman and Bellamy returned to his sister. He smiled at her, "You are going to be okay now O."

"What about her?" Octavia asked and looked over to Clarke.

"She is unconscious, but she is still breathing, we will take her to the hospital and she will be fine." Clarke said and cut the girl down from the rafters.

Bellamy held Octavia up as he cut the ropes, "Let's get out of here."

"I couldn't agree more big brother." She said and leaned into his embrace before pulling away, "Go help Clarke with the girl, I can walk."

"You sure?" Bellamy asked but let go of her.

She smiled and nodded at him. Her mind briefly drifted to the world she had left behind, but as she looked at Clarke and Bellamy helping the girl into the back of their truck, she knew this was where she belonged. Where they all belonged, killing the creatures in the dark and helping people.

AN: I hope you enjoyed the second look into the world of Bellamy, Octavia, and Clarke as supernatural hunters. This prompt was given to me by a reviewer, and I am open to more. We will get a look into how they all started out and Kane's role in all of their lives, but feel free to suggest anything you'd like to see.

Thanks for reading!
