Little Natblita {1}

Join or Die

Aurora

We were driving in the rover for what felt like hours. My head was on Jaspers shoulder and the road was getting bumpy since we were in the forest.

"It's been and hour since we passed the airplane wreckage. Seeing as we're using a map with no distance, it could be days before we reach Luna's village."  Jasper complains

"At least we know we're going in the right direction." Bellamy points out

"We should stop in the sun and recharge the battery." Jasper suggests

"What sun? We keep going till it dies." Clarke chuckles

"We keep going till we get to Luna." Tavia corrects

Jasper turns to a page in Lincoln's journal of Luna.

"This her?"

I nod.

"What do you think she's goanna say when we show up asking to put an AI in her head?" Jasper questions

"Lincoln said she helps people. She'll help us too." Tavia says

There's a reason why she left the conclave.

I doubt she'll take the Flame but whatever makes you sleep at night.

Suddenly Bellamy stops the rover.

"Think she can help us find a better map?"

Tavia and I roll our eyes and open the back door then get out.

"Hey!" Bellamy yells

We start to speed walk towards Lunas village when we stop in our tracks.

"Do you hear that?" Tavia smiles

"Water." I beam

We being to run into the direction of the water and eventually find a canal. We follow the flow of the canal and it led us to the ocean.

"Where's the village?" I question

Tavia looks down at the map then back at the small island of rocks.

"No. It can't be." She frowns

We run to the stone circle and it's definitely not a village.

"This isn't a village. It's just a bunch of rocks." Jasper points out

"What do we do now?" I ask

___

We decided to stay for the night since it was starting to get dark. We gathered firewood and Tavia started the fire.

"It'll be dark soon. We need to talk about what we're goanna do." Clarke sighs

"We wait until first light. Then we split up and search in both directions." I suggest. We're here already so we might as well look for Luna.

"I agree. Lincoln wouldn't put it in the map if it wasn't important." Bellamy says, reaching for the journal

Tavia quickly slaps it out of his hand, "don't touch that."

"Come on, O. How long?" Bellamy frowns

"I don't know. I can't even look at you. Because every time I do, I see Pike putting that gun to Lincoln's head. I hear the gunshot. I see him fall." Tavia sniffles

"I didn't kill Lincoln." Bellamy reasons

"No but he's dead because of you." Tavia spat

"I came to you. You didn't take my help. If you had just trusted me..." Bellamy trails off before Tavia ignores him

"Trust is earned. Not given. You have to earn that trust back. Of course we wouldn't accept your help. Your massacred an army and changed into a different person. On top of that, you knew it was wrong or else you wouldn't have spared Indra's life and try to spare the wounded's lives." I explain

Bellamy sighs in defeat and walks off.

Jasper throws a piece of the leaf in the fire and the flame turns green for a couple of seconds.

"What did you just do?" I gasp

"Nothing I just threw these into the fire." Jasper shrugged his shoulders

Tavia opens the journal to find the same leaf and throws it in the fire.

The flame turns green.

"Signal fire. He was trying to tell us. This is how we contact Luna." Tavia smiles

"I'll get more." Jasper nods

We spend the rest of the night throwing leaves into the fire, hoping Luna would get our signal

___

While we were just relaxing, some dude with a crossbow come up to us.

"No it's ok!" Tavia yells

We turn to see Bellamy and Clarke brought by some other grounder

"Chon yu bilaik? Hakom yu don flag raun?" He asks who are you? Why did you signal?

"Ai laik Aurora kom Skaikru en ai gaf gouthru klir." I say as I put my hands up I am Aurora of Skaikru and I seek safe passage

"Skaikru. Bringers of death. Why should we give you safe passage?" The man questions

"Lincoln. He sent us."

"Teik emo gon nila, ban emo gaga we, en lus 'mo meika au." The man orders Put them on their knees, remove their gags, and free their hands.

The man opens a small box and hands us small glass viles of liquid

"What is that?" Clarke asks

"Safe passage."

Tavia and I open it and drink it.

"Wait!" Bellamy yells

"I trust Lincoln." I shrug before everything goes black

___

"Where the hell are we?"

We woke up in this huge metal box? I think it's one of those things used to transport cargo on the sea before the bombs.

"My swords gone." Tavia worries

"Guns too." Bellamy sighs

I bang on the door hoping someone would let us out.

Thankfully, the doors did open and surprise surprise Luna came waltzing in.

"Where's Lincoln?" Luna asks

"Lincoln is dead." Tavia frowns

Luna looks to the ground, sadden by his death.

"Lincoln said that you would help us." Clarke steps in

"Did he?"

"Luna, your the last of your kind. The last Nightblood." Clarke weakly smiles

Why is Clarke lying?

"So Lexa is dead as well."

"Her spirit has chose you to become the next Commander. Titus entrusted me with the Flame to give to you." Clarke explains

"Then he should have told you that I left my conclave, swearing to never kill again."

"You don't have to kill. To lead us your birthright. How you lead is your choice. Here." Clarke urges, showing her the Flame

"I recognize the sacred symbol. But what is that?" Luna questions

"This is the Flame. It holds the spirits of the Commanders, of Lexa. Will you take it and become the next Commander?" Clarke asks

Luna thinks for a moment, "No."

She then walk outside and we follow after her.

We take in our surroundings and realize we're on an ocean rig. It's quite beautiful out here.

I wish I could act like the child I am and tell Clarke and Bellamy I told them so but in this situation...

It's really not the time.
