The Woods and A Village, Monday FT

Octavia had far too much time to think, in the woods.

She thought about Lincoln, detained in Arkadia. About how she'd tried to get him to leave before, to try and go back to Indra and the rest of Trikru, but he'd been adamant about staying, about leading by example in trying to show they could all live peacefully together. But he was wrong about that, wasn't he? And now he was paying for it.

She thought about Bellamy and what he was doing and how she could barely believe he was doing it. But maybe she should've seen it coming. She'd forgotten over their time in Fandom how much shorter a time he'd spent on the Ground than she had. They'd barely made contact with grounders when he'd been taken, and so they were strangers to him. But that didn't explain siding with Pike, it didn't explain what they'd done.

And she thought about everyone back in Fandom. It had been, what? A month and a half, almost two since she'd disappeared. What did that mean for Fandom? She'd been on the island for almost three years and only a handful of months had passed on the Ground. Did that time difference still hold true? Maybe it had already been a year since she'd vanished.

Maybe everyone had already moved on.

(Maybe Lucifer had someone else to look out of place and surly at his club, maybe Shunsui had someone else coming by for grocery store sake, maybe Duke had someone else --)

She didn't want to think about it anymore.

( She wanted to go back to Indra )

Polis, Tuesday FT

The journey to Polis wasn't a comfortable one. Not when you spent it bound and gagged and tossed over the back of a horse, like Octavia had. But she was learning to welcome the discomfort, almost crave it. She hurt all over, every step the horse took on uneven ground making the side of her head throb, and her ribs ache when the phone in the inside pocket of her jacket (yes, it was dead, but she couldn't, wouldn't let it go) pressed into them.

And all she could think was, Good.

( In the end, Semet didn't get what he wanted. He presented her to Lexa as a war criminal, brought there to bear witness to the crimes of her people. )
