A/N: This chapter is going to be pretty short. But hopefully the next one is longer. Also, this is where we start to get into Season 2, so…YAY!

Disclaimer: I don't anything but my OC, so yeah…sad life for me.

~Chapter 9: The Battles~

"EVERYONE INSIDE THE GATES!" yelled Bellamy. As they retreated in, Lincoln carried Octavia in, and set her against a log.

"What do we do?" Bellamy asked Lincoln and Clarke.

"I don't know, we need a council meeting," Clarke said. They told their guards to stay at the edge and protect their camp, while there was a council meeting in the dropship. "We need a plan."

"We don't have enough mines," Raven said. They all looked nervous, worried, and upset.

"Wait, I don't want a bomb…I want to blast off," Clarke said. Raven and Monty stared at her, till they understood what she meant.

"We can do that," Raven said.

"What?" Bellamy asked.

"We set off, like a rocket. It will wipe out the Grounders in one go, and everyone else will be in the dropship," Raven told him.

"BELLAMY! WE NEED MORE PEOPLE!" called Mark from outside.

"Looking to you Princess," he told Clarke, before directed Miller and Finn out of the dropship. He then turned to Kai and Octavia.

"You two are out of here," he said.

"WHAT?" "LIKE HELL!"

"Yes. You are. Octavia, you can't even walk, and you, I will not lose you," he told them. "Lincoln can take you to that village he was talking about."

"Bellamy, I agree that Octavia can't walk, but you cannot possibly think I'm going to leave any of you here," Kai said. She could feel the tears springing out.

"I'm not going to leave you, and Jasper, and Clarke," Octavia said.

"He's right O. You should go. You'd be safe away from here," Jasper said.

"What? Jas…I can't leave you," she said, the tears going down her face.

"I need to know your safe. Octavia, I love you, and if anything happened to you, I wouldn't be able to live with myself," Jasper told her. He captured her lips in his, and Bellamy looked towards Kai. He stepped forward and took Kai's face in his.

"Ditto," he said, before crushing her lips in his. He could feel the tears going down her face. She pulled away from him.

"She got a whole speech, and all I get is ditto," she said, letting out a hollow laugh. Bellamy once again pressed his lips to here.

"I'm trusting her with you and Lincoln. You both are basically my life, and if anything happened…"

"Fine."

"What?" Octavia said.

"He's right. You can't take part anymore, and we can get a head start of that village. If we reach there and make a truce beforehand, then we can bring back help and what not," Kai told her. "Octavia, I'll pack a bag with rations. Lincoln you have a couple of minutes to say by to Clarke." She sauntered out of the dropship, Bellamy walking behind her.

"That's my girl," they heard him say. Clarke rolled her eyes. She then turned to the rest.

"Come on, we're going to go see you off," Clarke said, taking Lincoln's hand, while Jasper helped Octavia walk to the side exit, where the three were leaving from. Bellamy and Kai joined them.

"This is it. Keep them safe. I may not hate you anymore, but their lives are more valuable to me than yours is," Bellamy told Lincoln. All the girls glared at him, while Lincoln just nodded. Bellamy turned to Kai and pressed his lips against hers once more. "I love you."

"I love you too," and she went through the exit. Lincoln turned to Clarke, while Octavia and Jasper shared a final kiss.

"Take care of yourself, and them," Clarke told him, pressing her forehead against his chest.

"Make sure you stay safe. You do what you need to, do not sacrifice yourself for others," Lincoln told her, and Clarke nodded, tears developing in her eyes. Lincoln pulled away and kissed her forehead. He then proceeded to pick Octavia up, after she had hugged Bellamy as well. The tears would not stop flowing in her eyes.

"Bye Bell," she said, before they disappeared through the exit. The three continued watching before Miller came up to them.

"We need you. They're approaching," he told them. They all looked outside once more, before heading towards where the rest were.

~ours~

"You should stop," Lincoln said, and Kai looked at him. "I know what you are thinking. You should stop. They will be fine. You need to have faith."

After what seemed like hours, they finally took a break. Lincoln set Octavia down on a log, while Kai filled up some water, that she was able to deem drinkable, in their make shift bottles.

"Everyone I care about, everyone we all care about is back there. I will not stop worrying," she told him. Lincoln just side and continued to dress Octavia's wound.

"It's poisonous," he said. Kai and Octavia exchanged a look.

"I'm guessing you don't have the antidote," Octavia said. Lincoln shook his head, and sighed. "No. You can't."

"What?" Kai asked.

"He wants to go back to his village," she said. Kai looked at him.

"They'll kill you. Not just kill you, but torture you. You can't do that," Kai said. "When I told Bellamy I'd keep Octavia safe, I mean I'd look after you too. Clarke would never forgive us if you died for us."

"I kept my own promise to Bellamy. I promised I would keep you safe, and if Octavia dies, that is not keeping her safe."

"Lincoln. I stabbed myself for you, but that's because I knew you'd give up the antidote. I trust you," Kai told him, looking him in the eyes. "Your village isn't the same. We can't trust them. You betrayed them for us, and if go back to them asking for help in order to save one of us, they won't take it well."

"I have to try," Lincoln said. Kai knew there was no arguing with him, and nodded.

"We are coming with you. No arguments," she said, and Lincoln nodded.

~ours~

"It's been too long, where the hell is he?" Kai asked. She was worried, and so was Octavia, who was going in and out of consciousness. Suddenly something rustled behind them, and Kai grabbed her knife. A Grounder walked out and Kai held up her knife.

"Lincoln sent me," he said. "He told me about the girl who is poisoned." Kai hesitated then stepped to the side and showed Octavia. The Grounder nodded, and moved towards Octavia, while Kai kept an eye on him. "My name is Nyko, Lincoln is my friend." Kai just watched him work on Octavia, and soon enough he was done, and Octavia was able to stand.

"Where is Lincoln?" Octavia asked.

"He is paying the price for helping you," he told them. Their blood chilled and heart froze.

"They got him…" Kai whispered, more of a statement than a question.

"Yes, they have decided to punish him."

"No. We can't let him go. We have to go get him. He's your friend," Octavia said.

"He is being punished. Friend or not, he betrayed us for your people, and must be punished," Nyko said.

"I don't think so," Kai said, before punching Nyko, and holding a knife to his throat. "What will they give us for their camps healer?"

"Kai…" Octavia started.

"I won't hurt him, but I will get Lincoln back," Kai said, and they moved with Nyko held prisoner. They made their way towards Lincoln's camp, and stopped outside the gates where the guards were.

"GIVE US LINCOLN! We have your healer. And we will not hesitate to hurt him if you don't give us Lincoln," Octavia yelled out. The guards stood down, and suddenly the camp's door opened. Out came another Grounder.

"We will deliver Lincoln at dusk. If Nyko is not unharmed then, we will kill Lincoln in front of your eyes," said the Grounder, before going back into the camp. Kai and Octavia shared a look and moved back into the small clearing they were in before. The took some of the supplies out of the bag that Kai packed.

"Braid my hair?" Octavia asked, and Kai nodded. While braiding half of Octavia's hair, she watched Nyko, like a hawk. She was not losing Lincoln. Losing Lincoln was not an option. As the sun started to go down, they heard rustling. Kai immediately grabbed her knife, while Octavia did the same. They stood up, and Kai grabbed Nyko. It was the same Grounder from before, and behind them was Lincoln. Kai pushed Nyko forward and the Grounder did the same with Lincoln.

"You have your Healer…now leave," Kai demanded. The Grounder looked like he would do something, but he just turned to leave with Nyko behind them. Octavia was untying Lincoln's ties, when suddenly more rustling started. They all looked around, before figures sprung from the trees, attacking them. Kai immediately went to Octavia's side and tried to find Lincoln. Suddenly Octavia fell unconscious next to her, and as she fell, all she saw was Lincoln being dragged away.

"Lincoln!" she exclaimed, as loudly as she could, before darkness took over her vision.
