her time at camp was SHORT-LIVED, only to have it become threatened by c a p t i v i t y. the signs of metal gates seem to become nothing but a backdrop in the wild. ❝ thank you for saving me.❞ she owed octavia that much & probably an explanation as well. though she supposed the younger blake only HARBORS anger towards her. clarke feels the CRUNCH of leaves underneath her feet as their make their way back towards lexa & indra. ❝you didn’t need to do that, but you did. i was wrong.❞ she can ADMIT that. bellamy had turned from the guy she’s known to a man full of PENT up anger & vengeance. the two of them used to be on the same SCALE, but now they feel UNBALANCED. clarke would always have faith in him even if what he was doing wasn’t something she agreed with.
❝i shouldn’t have left, but i needed to.❞ she’s ashamed that she’s run away but she cannot face the burden of her sins yet. they’ve become TALLY MARKS on her skin that can’t fade, nor heal until she can CONQUER them.
FURY crawling under her skin fighting to be released; for octavia to unleash it to those who are r e s p o n s i b l e for the death of grounders. & bellamy is among them, ---- the girl’s mind is jumbling, torn into different directions as she stomped down ( angrily ) the path that will lead them back to lexa. bellamy’s change, lincoln’s safety, grounders’ deaths & W A R. then, clarke. their attempt to make things right was a FAILURE, it seemed. clarke’s gratitude is met with a simple NOD but as the blonde admitting she was wrong, octavia spares a glance, opening her mouth to respond, ❛ we were wrong. i wanted to believe he would do it right this time but he’s gone, clarke. bellamy’s gone insane. ❜ anger dripping on the last syllable, quite harshly. her brother did save indra but those dead grounders’ blood is in his hands too. walking with eyes straight ahead, octavia doesn’t have the urge to look back to ARKADIA, she never fit in there, lincoln is safe for now & bellamy, ---- she almost couldn’t recognize him anymore. her own brother.
❛ you shouldn’t. but you did. ❜ gritting her teeth, octavia's piercing gaze leveling with the blonde without stopping their short journey, the ANGER she harbor dancing in her eyes like blazing fire, ❛ & you leaving is why bellamy changed. ❜ it’s the TRUTH. clarke wasn’t there in the last three months but OCTAVIA W A S.
