A

I watched on as Diyoza's people dug through the rubble leading to the bunker. Bellamy explained that he had managed to make a deal with Diyoza which included helping us to dig out the rest of our people below the ground. Also explaining that we had the upper hand due to Raven and Murphy - who I had a brief and emotional conversation with earlier - staying behind on their ship in space.

But the nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach sent a shockwave of worry through my body. What if things are different to how we left them six years ago? What if my father is different? My mother? Octavia?

I had no idea what we were about to walk into, and it worried me.

"Hey," I turned my head to the right as Bellamy walked up to stand beside me. "You okay?"

"I'm just worried." I told him, looking at the ground briefly before catching his eyes again.

"Worried they'll be different?" He wondered as I nodded.

"Six years is a long time. I'm not the same person I was when you left, and I'm sure you're different too." I explained as he sighed slightly before turning his body towards me.

"I am. But what isn't different is my family." He said as I now turned my body to face him. "It doesn't matter what happened in six years, that's still our family down there." He reassured me as I nodded in agreement.

"Okay! We're in!" I heard one of Diyoza's men call as myself and Bellamy glanced over. We began walking, meeting with Clarke on the way as we all climbed up to the top of the rubble.

"I'll go down first." Bellamy told us as a member from the prisoner ship strapped him into a harshness.

One man, bashed down on the rubble one last time, letting a lot of noise escape from the newly made hole. It sounded like cheering but it stopped as I heard the rubble hit the ground inside of the bunker. It fell silent as they began to lower Bellamy inside.

"You can go next." Clarke told me as I nodded. They strapped me in the same way they had with Bellamy before slowly lowering me in.

I couldn't see much at first due to the dust from the broken down rubble that clouded my vision. I felt my feet hit the ground and I quickly untied my harness, letting them pull it back up. I looked up, furrowing my eyebrows at the sight before me. This didn't even look like the same bunker we had left six years ago. I noticed the faces all placed against the metal fences surrounding the pit we were currently in. I felt like a caged animal with every pair of eyes on me. I finally looked over at Bellamy, and I could tell he was as concerned as me with the sight before him.

I then squinted my eyes slightly seeing Octavia beside him. But she seemed different, something was off in her eyes when she looked at me. It told me she was guilty, but why? I could almost see the metaphorical walls she had placed around herself. She looked dark. But I nodded to her anyway, a small reassuring smile on my lips. It took a her a moment but she soon nodded back at me, just without the smile; something I felt she probably hadn't done in a long time.
