Dakota ran as fast as she could through the forest, desperately hoping she could make it to their camp before the scouts did.
She hadn't had time to think about what exactly their reactions would be like when they saw her. However, the important thing was just to make sure they were aware and prepared. Once she delivered the message though, she wasn't sure where she'd go from there.
No longer being an official part of Trikru meant that she couldn't fight on their side. On the other hand, that didn't necessarily mean that the Sky People would welcome her in and ask her to fight on their side either. She honestly didn't want any casualties on either side of the battle, but she knew that those outcomes were unfortunately out of her control.
The only thing that Kota could think of, would be to warn Octavia and her people and hope that they decide to evacuate instead of stay and fight.

Octavia looked at her confused but before she could respond, her brother was pulling her away as the two guards grabbed Kota again.
"You have some nerve showing up here again." Bellamy scolded her.
"You don't understand, I'm not a threat to you anymore! My people even disowned me for being associated with you."
