Author's Note: Hey guys, sorry for the wait. I've been really busy lately. Also, THE TRAILERS CAME OUT! Finally! Can't wait for April 24...

Enjoy the chapter and please, please review!

"Everyone out!" Octavia yells, stumbling towards Clarke. The trikru immediately nod and exit the tent.

"We will wait outside the tent, Raven," Anya whispers.

"Raven I swear, she was fine one minute, and suddenly she just lost it!" Harper explains frantically interrupting the older warrior. "I was trying to clean her cuts." Raven nods her head and follows Octavia.

Clarke is on the floor struggling with Finn. She's screaming and crying, trying to back away from Finn who is trying to bring a cup of something to her mouth.

"FINN!" Raven yells, losing control of the volume of the voice. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO HER?! AND WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE HER DRINK SOMETHING?!"

Octavia shoves Finn away from Clarke before taking the hysterical girl into her arms. Raven grabs the fallen boy by his jacket and drags him outside.

"I want everyone outside. Now."

Harper gulps, "I'm so sorry Ra-"

"It's not your fault, but I am going to have a talk with Finn later," the brunette cuts her off. She gives an apologetic smile to Harper, before making her way back into the tent. She freezes when she sees the 5 warriors watching Octavia console Clarke. They are outside but have a clear view of what's going inside.

"I'm going to close the tent flap, Clarke needs some space when she's close to freaking out," Raven explains.

Lincoln nods kindly, "We will be outside if you need us." He then shakes his head, "It's quite entertaining to watch your friends look at us with fear."

Raven nods gratefully, closing the tent. The brunette makes her way to her two friends, kneeling down on the other side of the blonde. She takes Clarke's hands into her own and rubs her thumb on the younger's palm.

Octavia is rocking her gently, humming soothingly. Clarke's still crying into the brunette's shoulder, breaking both of their hearts.

"I-I t-thought it was the...the…" Clarke gasps, another wave of sobs taking over. "I-it hurt so bad, and I couldn't… I couldn't see you."

"We are here Clarke, we are right here," Raven whispers, stroking the girl's frazzled sweaty hair.

Raven and Octavia exchange a sad smile, knowing how much their friend depends on both of them.

"It hurt so much and I couldn't scream or cry or say anything, and then it started to hurt more and I tried to find you and Finn kept on telling me you were coming but I couldn't find you." She cries into Octavia's shoulder. "And then I tried to find you but he kept on telling me you weren't here."

"Why was he trying to get you to drink something, Princess?" Raven asks softly trying to control her anger.

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know," Clarke repeats. "I thought, I thought, you...you left me,"

"No, no, Clarke, don't think like that," Octavia quickly murmurs, "We would never leave you."

"Wh-what if you get killed?" Clarke whimpers, "Were on the ground now, anything could happen."

"Clarke!" Both girls yell at the same time.

Clarke flinches and starts struggling against her friends, "No, please, don't be mad, don't be mad," A new round of tears cascade on her cheeks. "You hate me now, you hate me now."

"Clarke," Raven mutters, bringing the girl closer to herself to stop her from fighting them. "Clarke, we would never hate you. Never, Clarke, never. We would never hate you. But never talk about your death like that ok? It hurts us just to think about it."

Raven feels Clarke nod against her chest. They stay in that position until Clarke's sobs quieten down before coming to a stop. Both brunettes finally feel her grip on them slacken. Raven shoots Octavia a questioning look, who nods at her. Octavia gently lifts the sleeping girl into a lying down position.

"Let her sleep." she murmurs, softly.

"Octavia, she needs to be there when we tell everyone."

"Just- we should let her sleep. We can tell the others later."

Raven sighs, watching Clarke sleep. "Octavia? What she said was right. We are on the ground now, anything can happen. We can drift apart."

"Raven, from the day we met Clarke, she's been attached to us by the hip."

They both smile, the memory overtaking them.

16-year-olds Octavia Blake and Raven Reyes were waiting for their breakfast when Thelonius Jaha strutted into their cell. Octavia took a protective stance over Raven, not knowing what was going on.

"We aren't 18 years old yet."

Jaha nods toward his guards, ignoring Octavia. "You will be getting a new cellmate."

Octavia furrowed her eyebrows. "The limit is 2 for ours."

"I changed the rules. Your new cellmate is Clarke Griffin."

"Wait. Wait, you mean Clarke 'Princess' Griffin, the ark's 'best child'?"

Jaha clenched his jaw. "Is there another Clarke Griffin you know?"

Raven snorts, "What did she do?"

"That's for her to tell."

"And how old is she? 14?" Octavia added, not liking the concept of getting another person to share the cell with.

"You will see," Jaha answered simply. "Guards! Bring her in."

Seconds later, a young blonde girl was being forced into the cell. She was 12 years old, much to their surprise. She looked up, immediately locking eyes with Octavia. The girl- Clarke, Octavia reminded herself, looked emotionless.

"Ok, ok. Guards, I think you can let her go now." She said softly.

"We are leaving anyway. Enjoy your stay in the skybox Clarke! Remember, no visitations including Wells." Jaha laughed. It was easy to tell he was trying to get on Clarke's nerves.

Raven and Octavia watched in awe as Clarke flicked her middle finger up at him with no hesitation.

Jaha scowled but said nothing, leaving the cell and closing the door behind him.

Clarke beamed, turning to her new cellmates. "Hi. I'm Clarke Griffin."

"Y-you… you just flipped Jaha off!" Raven answered, clearly awed.

"Yeah. You should try it sometime, we're all gonna be floated anyway."

They became best friends.

Octavia snickers, remembering the first time they had met Clarke. "Let her sleep, she'll wake soon."

Raven nods, "We need to take care of the remaining wounds."

Octavia scans Clarke quickly, before shaking her head. "I think Harper got them all."

Raven says nothing, both her and Octavia watching Clarke. Finally, Raven smiles, "She's so adorable when she sleeps."

"Remember when the three of us had to share a bunk bed?"

"Those good old days…"

"Says you. You always used to complain about her kicking you when you were sleeping."

"Hey! She did!"

"She never kicked me…"

Raven sticks her tongue at Octavia, "I hate you, Blake."

"Think again, Reyes, I think you love me."

"In your dreams!"

"Whatever. But seriously, Raven, we need to find a proper way to tell everyone. This is ridiculous. Jasper's right, nobody will accept this."

"Wait! Octavia! The Ark wouldn't either!"

"So?"

"So… all the delinquents hate the people up there! If we say that we will be safe from them and become Trikru, then if the ark drops down, we can fight against them!"

Octavia's eyes widen. "Oh my god Rae, that's genius!"

"I'm a genius!" Raven says, a grin plastered on her face.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Now we just have to wait for Clarke to wake up."

The two girls nod at each other, before Octavia points at their blonde friend, "Stay with her. I'm going to bring Lincoln and the others inside. They must be terrifying everyone outside."

Raven raises her eyebrow at the younger brunette, "Lincoln and the others? Why not the commander and the others? Or Anya and the others?"

A blush blooms across Octavia's cheeks. "Shut up! And I know about your not-so-subtle crush on her."

"On who?" Raven asks back, playing dumb.

"On Anya, you moron." Octavia snorts as she walks to the opening of the tent. She opens it and the older warriors all turn to her immediately.

"Is she ok?" Lincoln asks with a curious expression.

"She's fine, just tired." Octavia smiles back.

"What happened?" Lexa inquiries also curious. She wants to know more about Clarke. The girl seems different from the other goufas in the camp.

They watch as Octavia's eyes widen a fraction. She blinks twice before regaining her previous expression. "She's just tired. The torture just hit her now." She's not telling the complete truth, but she's not lying either. The trikru don't seem convinced, so Octavia gives them a small smile. "She has these… episodes sometimes. It's nothing new really. In fact, this was on the milder side."

"Is there anything triggering her panic?" The commander asks. Panic 'attacks' were not uncommon among young warriors. Most got used to the hardships as they got older but many seconds who are still children have night terrors. From her knowledge, Lexa could only imagine that the POI as Clarke called it, had done something bad. "Was it the group she was in? The Person of Interest?"

The brunette from the sky stares at Lexa for a few seconds, "I said too much. But anyway, do you guys wanna come into the tent? People here are ready to lock you up, no offense." Seeing the other's skeptical expressions she adds, "They all want to protect each other and because of the Jasper getting speared thing, they are kind of untrusting…"

"We understand," Anya replies.

Octavia nods and smiles before leading them into the tent, "We will wait for Clarke to wake up and then tell everyone." She gives the others a weak smile. "Yay…"

Author's Note: Next chapter, Octavia, Raven, and Clarke tell everyone about the deal. And, Octavia and Raven deal with Finn.

Till next time,
