Stealing Fire

Shadow POV

We had gotten Bellamy message and all I could think about was what trouble has my father gotten himself into? Octavia and me ride to the drop ship, stopping as we jumped off our horses. Bellamy slowly walked out and into the moonlight. It lightly rains "I'm glad you came" Bellamy tells me. Octavia looked around "I'm alone O" Bellamy says. "I'm here to help" he then tells us. Octavia goes to hug him but stabbed him in the neck with a tranquilizer. He falls into Octavia and me. "Sleep, my big brother" Octavia says before we begin dragging him to my horse.

"I think he's waking up" I tell Octavia as Bellamy begins to groan. "It was a mistake to bring him here" Indra tells me. "He was out the whole way" I informed her. "Besides, Shadow searched him for bugs" Octavia stated. "You think I'd let them hurt either of you?" Bellamy asked. "Shut your mouth!" Indra hissed at Bellamy. "Indra, we talked about this..." I sigh, glaring over at her. "You waste time. You should be in their camp by now" Indra tells me. "No. It's suicide. Pike will be expecting you" Bellamy tells us. "You won't get close. I can" he added. He then looked over at me with pleading eyes. "We can save them but we have to work together" Bellamy says. I get angry, pissed as I slowly approached him. "You're the reason they need saving!" I hissed out. "Maybe...but that doesn't change the fact you need me" he cleared his throat. "For the first time in my life...that's not true" Octavia tells her brother. "O..." Bellamy shakes his head. Octavia then walked out of the cave and Indra followed. "You did this to yourself Bellamy...." I whispered to him as I kneel in front of him. "My father trusted you, Then you get him a death sentence...." I hissed out before standing to my feet and following Indra and Octavia out of the cave.

"Package is on the move. I repeat package is on the move. We are a go" I hear over the radio. "Okay, S. Is your team in position?" Harper asked me. "Roger that, we're in position and ready to intercept" I spoke to Harper as Octavia and me waited for the time to go. I see my father as they walked them inside a room before pike took his other men to lead another way. "Ready?" I whispered. We jumped out of the the hiding spot and over to the two guards, tranquilizing them before they even knew what hit them and then took their guns. I pressed the button and rushed into the room to see my father. "Dad..." I breathed out, rushing over to him and wrapping my arms around him. "Shadow...I'm so glad you're safe" he tells me. "We've got to leave, now" Octavia says. We look up "We have hide under the floor until they leave" Octavia explained to them as she reached down and opened the floor. Lincoln kissed Octavia before climbing inside. She then followed after him and then Sinclair. I jumped inside before my father had joined us. I pulled the floor over the hole before hearing the heavy footsteps. "Check them and call medical" I hear pike order. Just then I jump when I hear something begin thrown. "Damn!" Pike shouted. "The guys are a live sir. They must have drugged them" A guard stated. "We did what they wanted us to do" Pike informed the guards before their footsteps begin to walk out of the room. "That won't happen again" he says before their footsteps faded away. We waited for a moment before I pushed open the floor and popped my head out. "All clear" I whispered, climbing out of the floor. Octavia and Lincoln followed along with my father and Sinclair. Octavia helps my father into a bed. "It's a little tight in there" he says. "Try doing it for 16 years" she tells my father as she uncuffed him and then Lincoln as I help Sinclair get uncuffed. "Hey, we'll come back for Denae and the others" Octavia tells Lincoln. Suddenly Abby walked into the room. "Mom!" I rushed over to her, hugging her tightly. "I told you not to do this Abby" my father glared at her. "Why would I start listening to you now?" She asked him. Miller walked into the room and I handed him and Bryan the guns. "S, come in"Harper whispered. "What is it?" My father asked me. "This wasn't the plan..." I say. "We used their frequencies so they could hear us. Go ahead" I speak into the radio. "Stay where you are" she advised me. "Repeat states where you are the exit is not clear" Harper tells me. "How many guards?" I asked. "Too many. I said stay out" she hissed. "Call all guards! Prisoners heading for main gate! Main gate! Over!" Monty voice yelled through the radio. "That was Monty" I tell them. "Guess he's with us after all" Miller stated. "I will find out" My father says. "We don't know that" My mother spoke. "What we do know is that we have to move" she then added. We all followed her out of the room and run down the hall and headed for the space in the wall. "Go go go!" My father stated. Attention all citizens. Emergency lockdown is in effect. Return to you quarters immediately. The overhead woman spoke as everyone climbed into the wall. "Okay mom, you next" I tell her. "I'm not going" she informed us. "They need someone to show them the way out of the dark" she explained. "Besides I—" suddenly my father grabbed my mother and kissed her and then pulled from her. "May we meet again" He whispered. "We will..." she smiled. "Ew..." I scrunched my face in disgust, causing them both to laugh. "Be safe Shadow" My mother hugged me tightly before walking off. "I have a message for the traitors in this camp" my radio goes off, pike on the other end. "There will be an execution today. Either turn yourselves in or the other Grounder prisoners will die in your place" Pike says. Lincoln heard the message and Octavia tries to shove him in the space. "Let's go!" Octavia says. He walked around her "no way!" She tells him. "I can't let them die because of me" Lincoln says to her. "Lincoln, please. We're almost out" Octavia tells him. I approached Lincoln . "I know how you feel but they're searching the station and we need to go" I tell Lincoln. "You should" he nodded. "Fine" Octavia says. "I'm going with you" she added. "Oso throu daun ogeda" Octavia tells Lincoln. He softly placed his hand on her cheek "I love you" he confessed before kissing her passionately. Just then he grabbed the Trank and stabbed Octavia in the neck. "No..." Octavia gasped. "What are you doing?" I hissed at him as he handed Octavia to my father. "The same thing you'd do for your people" he tells me. "Just get her out of here" he instructed us. "Stay strong..." I whispered to him, reaching my hand out and smiling. "We've come a long way from you poisoning me with your knife" I teased. He chuckled "Please, take care of Octavia and look out for her?" He asked me. "Always" I nodded before he left. My father carried Octavia out of the camp as I followed him. He puts her on her horse as we walked away from the camp. It doesn't take long for her to wake up, falling off the horse and rushing to the clearing. "Octavia no..." I whispered, trying to grab her hand. "No..." she shakes her head. We watched as Pike takes a few steps back and Lincoln sank to his knees in the mud. Octavia begins to cry as Pike raised his gun and Octavia sobbed harder as my father tried to grab her. The gun goes off as pike shoots Lincoln and my heart breaks for Octavia. I watch ad Octavia's hurt and pain turned to anger within seconds. In this moment I knew she is now dangerous.
