Chapter 3
The satellite and Martha's place
Octavia POV
Oh my fucking shit, this place is a literal dump. It looks like the streets of hell after extermination day. Only a lot less corpsey. Buildings were worn out or straight up torn down and the road was just as crappy with cracks and tears in it. I hardly saw anyone roaming the streets. But, I can't figure out why?
"Hellooooooooooooo!", I called out, but only got echos in response. "Anybody out here?". Nothing, nothing was coming out. I decided to camp out at the end of everyday. I walked for about five days and camped out four times. Eventually, I made it to a forest area. I walked through there until I found a house. It wasn't small in the slightest, but it wasn't a mansion either. I saw a bunch of kids playing on the playground equipment and this elderly nun was with them.
It was a nice little family they have right there. Much better than my family. I tried to walk around, but I stepped on a twig, and it snapped. Aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnd my eyes were glowing. Grrrreeeeeaaaat.
"Who's there?!" Shouted the woman. "I can see your torches. Come out now". Oh well, when in Rome. I walked out of the forest, and needless to say they were shocked by my appearance.
"IT'S THE DOMINO OWL LADY!" The kids shouted.
"Seriously?" I asked.
"Please don't take us away back to your lair!" Shouted one of the boys.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" I asked. The kids were shocked at this.
"So, you're not going to take any of us away?" Asked one of the girls.
"No, I'm not", I said. "And seriously, what. The. Fuck. Is. The. Domino. Owl. Lady?".
"Please control your language", said the old woman. "These kids don't need to hear that".
"Well, excuse me", I said. "I literally walked from New Domino City, to here, for five, fucking, days and you and these kids are the first living things I've seen since arriving here. So, forgive me if I'm tired, hungry and just the tiniest bit irritable".
"You said you were walking for five days?", asked the old woman. "How did you survive?".
"Ever wondered why there were so few rats in the Satellite as of late?" Asked Octavia.
"So, you mean, you ate rats?" Asked one of the boys.
"Uh, yeah" I said.
"Eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww!" Groaned everyone.
"Oh come on!", I shouted. "I'm an owl, what do you expect?!".
"Well, I'm shocked that you survived out here for so long", said the old woman. "Now, why exactly are you here?".
"You're the first proper piece of civilisation I found since I arrived on this garbage dump of an island" I said.
"You didn't see anybody else?" Asked the old woman.
"Nope", I said. "I didn't see anyone. No hine nor hair of any man or woman".
"Hey Martha!", shouted a Familiar voice. "What's going-". I then saw a guy that was all too familiar.
"Hey, Octavia", said Tanner. "How did you get here?"
"Rex told me to walk through a large sewer pipe and after five days of walking, I find this place" I said.
"You walked for five days?", asked Tanner. "How did you-".
"I ate every rat and mouse I could get my hands on" I said. Tanner looked a little bit disgusted by that.
"Listen, Martha, Right?" I asked.
"Yeah" she responded.
"Please tell me you have a spare room so I can rest my head" I said.
"There's always room for one more", said Martha. "But first, tell me, what brought you here?".
"Oh, okay", I said. "But I want to talk to you alone". So, Martha brought us to a seperate room and I told her about my family, about my issues, about how I came here, about what I told Yusei, about what Goodwin said and how I learned I could loose my home if this isn't stopped. Martha, listened carefully.
"Ooooooooh. I'm, I'm sorry Octavia", said Martha. "No one should ever have to go through that".
"Everybody always is", I said. "The last time I saw my mother smile when all of us were in the same room, I had 12 candles on my birthday cake. And you could imagine how I felt when I found out my mom hired an assassin to kill my father. What if she sends Striker after me because 'I've come into contact with plebeians and have been soiled by their touch'.
"I still believe that your mother cares about you more than you ever know" said Martha.
"She. Hired. An. Assassin. To. Kill. My. Father", I almost screamed at her. "So, what makes you think she won't do the same to me?".
"Because I know your father wouldn't let anything happen to you", said Martha. "Even if it was by the hands of your mother".
"Glad you think so", I said. "I'm just not that sure". I just couldn't hold it in anymore, I decided to let the dams burst and cried my eyes out. Martha came up to me and hugged and started to rub my head.
