Healing Hearts Chapter 12 Octavia

Abby walked out of medical drenched in sweat. Raven was upon her instantly. "How is she, Is she going to be okay?" asked Raven.

Marcus had been waiting. He walked up next to Raven, waiting for Abby's report on Octavia.

"She's a strong girl," said Abby. "She's going to make it, as long as we don't have infection or any complications. She's going to be fine, sore but fine, and she'll have to stay in bed for a while. "Abby looked around.

"Where's Lincoln? I was going to let him go in and sit with her," Abby asked looking around.

"I agreed to let Lincoln and the other kids go after Bellamy," said Marcus. "They had their minds set on it; I wasn't going to keep them from going."

"Lincoln knows that Octavia would expect him to go after Bellamy," said Raven.

"They'll probably get themselves killed," said Abby. "but I'm beginning to figure out, they're a lot more resilient than we give them credit for." Abby looked at Raven remembering what she said about Clarke, and how she stopped being a kid when she was sent to earth to die. Abby saw how much the drop ship kids had learned to survive and take care of each other.

"How many went?" she asked.

"Five," said Marcus, 'Lincoln, Monty, Miller, Jasper and Monroe."

"Jasper went?" asked Abby.

"Yea, Jasper," smiled Marcus.

Abby just nodded.

Jackson came out into the corridor. "She's waking up," he said.

"Can I go in?" asked Raven.

"Yea sure, just don't let her get upset," said Abby.

Raven rushed into the room.

Abby stayed outside with Marcus. "Do you think they have a chance to find Bellamy?" asked Abby.

"Well I think they have a good chance with Lincoln leading the team," said Marcus. "Problem is, Lincoln says the Ice Nation has horses, our people will be on foot, so they won't catch up, at least not until the ones that took Bellamy have stopped or gotten to wherever they were taking him. It's going to take a while. I just hope they don't all get killed, or start a war, but I had to let them try."

"These kids really care about each other, they would do anything for each other, weeks ago, Bellamy let Jasper beat him half to death, hoping it would help him, now Jasper is out risking his life trying to save Bellamy," said Abby. "They never cease to amaze me," she said as she shook her head. "We could all take a lesson from them, they really have become a family."

"Raven wanted to go, but I think she realized, since they would be on foot…It was better she stay here, plus she wanted to be here when Octavia woke up. The team took a radio, so we can contact them as long as there still in range to let them know she's going to be okay." said Marcus. "I'm going to go have Wick try and contact them, and let them know she's going to make it," Marcus smiled.

Raven sat next to Octavia quietly as she lay groggy, her eyes slowly trying to open. The anesthesia was still making her head fuzzy. "Lincoln," Octavia said.

"Hey," said Raven. "Welcome back." she said. "You had us scared to death."

"Raven? Where is everyone? Bellamy," Octavia said fearfully. "They took him, Ice Nation…" she said with a haggard breath.

"Hey, Hey," said Raven, trying to calm her." That's why I'm here. Lincoln and the others, they all went to bring him back. as soon as they brought you here; when you went into surgery, they took off after him. Lincoln and the others, they'll find him Octavia, but you have to take it easy so when Bellamy comes back, he'll see that you're okay too."

Raven sat there and held Octavia's hand. They were both worried about Bellamy and the others. They wouldn't voice their fears to each other, both putting up a strong front. Octavia drifted back to sleep, the pain medicine that Jackson had given her finally taking effect. Raven sat back in the chair next to her bed, as she slowly drifted off to sleep also.

"Jaha search party, Jaha search party, this is camp Jaha, do you read me," said Wick over the radio.

Monroe jumped at the sound. She grabbed the radio, as the others woke at the sound.

"This is Jaha search party, we read you, come in," Monroe answered back.

"Be informed Octavia is okay, repeat Octavia will be okay," said Wick over the radio.

"That's great, err um ten four," said Monroe, "Ill relay that message, Out."

Lincoln smiled and stood up. He shook his head. His smile was heavy with relief. He walked into the darkness of the night forest. He needed to get himself together; he squatted in the darkness alone by a tree. He privately let tears of relief fall down his face. His Octavia was going to be okay.

Jasper grabbed Monty and hugged him. "She's going to be okay," Jasper said, "Thank god, she's going to be okay."

Miller just smiled real big. "I knew she would be fine, girls too damn stubborn and hard headed to let some random grounder kill her like that," he said, and then he lay back down. "I'm going back to sleep, sun will be up soon enough."

Monroe followed Millers lead and lay back down, trying to get some sleep.

One heavy weight was lifted off the group. Octavia would survive. Now they could focus on finding Bellamy. He needed their help, and they were going to do everything they could do to find him.
