Summary
Octavia catches her eye on Echo and ducks her head, long braided hair a curtain to hide her smirk. “She was promised to him before.”
“To Bellamy?” Clarke wonders, which earns her a raise of her eyebrows. She throws another small twig into the campfire, making it sizzle. “For what?”
“An union,” she explains with a lazy shrug of her shoulders. “Before we took you in, of course.”
“Before,” she echoes, as a question. It doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, but she needs to know anyway. Maybe this is why he resents her so much, that in saving her people, he lost the girl he loved.
“Lexa is good at separating duty from personal feelings. She was expecting loyalties to shift.”
“I don’t let my personal feelings cloud my judgement.”
“Not you,” Octavia laughs, and it seems like it’s at her, not with. “Have you met my brother?”
Clarke startles, mouth twisting sourly. Now she’s not making any sense. “He barely knows me.”
“You saved my life, Clarke. That’s all he needs to know.”
↬ Clarke comes—or rather crashes—down from the Sky, locks eyes with a Grounder King, finds it’s hard to make friends on earth and then suddenly and inexplicably bleeds whenever he bleeds.
