Chapter 15

A/N: *Thanks for your favs and follows people. Let's get to it. :)

It was a regular busy morning for all the students as they prepared for the day ahead. Octavia and Raven had a class together and Raven was a little late. As Octavia pointed to the seat next to her, Raven sat down. The question in Octavia's eyes was evident and Raven just shook her head in response.

"Nothing?" Octavia still wanted to confirm.

Raven sighed. "We tried looking everywhere. No luck yet." Raven's voice was so despondent that Octavia took her hand and tried to show some support.

"And Clarke?"

"She is in a pretty bad shape."

Just as she finished the sentence, Clarke entered the class. Octavia pointed Raven in Clarke's direction. They both watched Clarke walk to her chair and sit down. Her face was white and blank. As if Clarke was out of all emotions. For most of the period, Clarke appeared to be listening and jotting down notes once in a while. Raven couldn't help but worry seeing this lifeless Clarke. As the period ended, both of them joined her. They didn't have much time before the next period but they tried talking to Clarke nonetheless. All they got out of Clarke was a nod, a shrug and that was pretty much it. Both Raven and Octavia then decided to give Clarke a little space.

As the lunch break approached, Raven whispered to Octavia,"Do you want to go to the precinct with me?"

It looked like Octavia was about to suggest the same. She pulled out her cell phone, "Let me call Lincoln, he can give us a ride."

Raven meeting Lincoln was pretty awkward at first. But his smile and kindness quickly won her over. The conversation in the car never steered into anything serious. Lincoln knew he was there to support and help Octavia and her friend. It felt like it took ages for them to reach the precinct. As they all entered the station, it seemed pretty crowded and everyone looked busy in one thing or several. Raven tried to get attention of the officers but she was told to wait till someone was free to attend to them. Octavia wasn't the patient one always and she quickly approached a young officer who looked like he could use a break.

"Hi there.. umm Officer.. Blake! Wow.. what a weird coincidence. My last name is Blake too." She laughed nervously.

Officer Blake just looked up and gave her look that showed he didn't have any time for chit-chat. Having understood that quickly Octavia continued,"Can you help us please? We can't find our friend and it's been more than a week."

Bellamy caved as he saw the utter desperation and exhaustion is Octavia's eyes. He closed whatever files he was looking into and gestured at the seats in front of his table. Raven and Octavia quickly sat down. Lincoln stood behind them, listening. Before Bellamy could ask Octavia to continue, Octavia started rambling about how her roommate has gone missing. Raven nodded and kept adding any details Octavia missed. Just as Raven told about how she had came earlier to file a missing person's report and also to look for Anya, Bellamy interrupted her.

"Wait… You came here to see the Serge?"

The questioning look on the girl's faces made him clarify. "I meant, Anya."

Both Raven and Octavia nodded.

"How do you both know her?"

"She is Lexa's.. my roommate who is missing.. she is her older sister.. or an old friend or something." Octavia waved her hands in air as if that would make this all a bit clearer. As Raven watched Bellamy's face, she said, "You didn't know?"

Bellamy shook his head. "Sergeant is a very private person."

"Where is Anya?" Octavia's voice was no where near as soft as one would think.

"I wish I could help but even I don't know. The last I saw her was when we both were working on a case. She took off after that and the last I know, she called in for a personal leave." Bellamy had found this very odd since Anya hardly ever took a sick leave, let alone a leave for personal reasons.

"What was the case?" Raven asked, her curiosity won't let her rest until she knew all the details to make sense of what was happening.

"Sorry I can't discuss it with you. It was a very high profile case and I am not at a liberty..." Bellamy stopped talking as he looked into Octavia's eyes… they were literally begging. He sighed and whispered his encounter with Jaha. Before they all could make any sense of it, Raven's cell phone buzzed. It was Olivia.

"Hey Liv, I am kind of busy right now, can we talk later?" Raven whispered as she came outside of the precinct, alone. Her hands covering the mouthpiece as she talked in a low voice.

"Actually, I don't know how to say this… We.. I mean.. the morgue… we received a body just a while ago..." Olivia's voice was nervous and a little shaky.

"What about it? Liv, seriously I don't have time for this now. We are about to.." Raven was about to hang up and get back in.

"The body.. it's a Jane Doe. A girl.. brunette.. our age.. I am sorry but I know you were looking for.." Olivia tried her best to be calm and speak softly... gently. But Raven didn't hear anything after this. She gasped loudly and then forgot to breath as her mind calculated the possibility of who this Jane Doe was. She just shook her head, disbelieving. There was no way in hell it was Lexa. This belief lasted for about two seconds as her mind pictured Clarke and what a devastation this news would bring if it was true.

"Are you still there Raven? Can you come to the.." Olivia breathed.

"We are coming...". Raven ran inside to get Octavia and Lincoln.

The car ride to the morgue was incredibly fast since Bellamy drove them in his squad car. He and Lincoln were in the front seats. Raven was busy consoling Octavia who was on the verge of breaking down. Her body was shaking as she clung onto Raven. Raven tried reassuring her that it wasn't Lexa. It was just not possible. She prayed to every deity to make sure that it wasn't Lexa laying in the morgue.

All four of them rushed to the morgue. Just as they entered the area where the body was kept, Olivia took her time to make sure they were ready for it and then pulled the drawer of the freezer slowly. As she uncovered the face, Raven gasped and Octavia simply fainted.

Clarke was walking the same path she had walked just a few days ago with Lexa. The first time she had shown the park to her. Everything had seemed so vibrant and lively back then. All her favorite spots had become even more special as she shared them with Lexa. The same walk, with each step made her even more miserable now. After the first period she just couldn't go through the day like it was just another day. Hoping that maybe a quite sit down in her favorite place might help her, she had walked to the park. Then she found out how wrong she was. After so many days, her mind and body was slowly adjusting to being without Lexa, imagining a scenario where Lexa wasn't with her and slowly accepting the fact that they may not be together ever again. And she hated that. She hated it with her entire being. She hated everything about her current situation. Her being attached to a person and relying on them to such an extent that without them, her every waking moment was nothing short of a torture. She might have survived the breakup if it ever happened. But not knowing what happened and more so, not knowing if Lexa was okay was painful to the core. She was at a stage where she just wanted to know and get this all behind her. But her heart, her heart won't allow any logical decision her brain might take to move past this. Her heart would never allow her to forget Lexa. She looked at the water body in front of her as she sat down on the grass. Her body shivered as the wind blew past her. She closed her eyes and let out a quiet sob.

At the same time, in a cabin on a secluded hill top, Anya paced around in the room. Her left hand was on her holster as she walked around in the living room. A pair of green eyes followed her every movement.
