Clarke
Lexa led us down the Main Street of polis into the really tall building we saw earlier. She took us to this hatch on the ground in the corner of the room. She opened the hatch, there was stairs leading down

"He's down their, go say bye." Lexa said that sounded almost demanding

"I'm gonna go last, Clarke you go first." Octavia told me putting a hand on my shoulder

I took a deep breath, I didn't know Lincoln that much but I was glad I at least got to say bye.

I walked down about 30 stairs before finally reaching the bottom. The light turned on as I stepped if the stairs. I looked around the room. It was like the confinement rooms on the ark, except there was no bed, and the cell was like a cage for an animal. I walked over to the cage and placed my hands on the bars, I noticed Lincoln was chained to the wall. He didn't turn around so I said his name "Lincoln?"

He turned around really quickly at the sound of my voice "Clarke?! What are you doing here. How are you even here. You have to go, if they catch you here they'll kill you." He said standing

"Lincoln I'm safe. I'm here with Murphy and Octavia. Lexa brought us so we could say goodbye. She found us outside the gates. We've been looking for you guys since you were taken." I tell him

"Bellamy isn't here. I want to help but I can't. I'm sorry." Lincoln said

"It's fine, I just wanted to say bye. And thank you for everything. We'll survive the winter with all the things you taught us." I smiled and put my hand in the cage

He grabbed my hand and kissed the back of it "your welcome Clarke."

"May we meet again." I said before leaving

Murphy
Clarke came up the stairs with tears in her eyes. I gave her a hug and rubbed her back for a minute before being interrupted by Lexa

"Murphy you next." Lexa said firmly

I didn't know how she knew my name but I didn't care at the moment. I walked down the stairs, when I got to the bottom the lights flicker on. Weird, Clarke was just down here. Lincoln was pacing back and fourth, chained to the wall

"Damn, they treat all their best people like this?" I asked trying to lighten the mood

Lincoln laughed "no just the ones like me that work against there own people."

"Hey man. In all seriousness you really saved our asses. You helped us with so much around our camp, it's because of you that we'll survive." I told him

"Nah. You guys are strong, smart, and intelligent kids. I didn't teach you anything, I just brought out what was always in your heads. If anything you guys taught me about working together, and the importance and impact it has." Lincoln told me

"Well, I hate goodbyes so how about this is just a May we meet again, not a good bye." I said with a little chuckle

Lincoln smiled "may we meet again."

I smiled and nodded as I walked out. I stood beside Clarke and out my arm around her shoulders.

Octavia
My heart ached, and I was crying just walking down the stairs. When I got to the end of the stairs I stopped on the last one. I took a deep breath and sighed. I stepped of the stair and the lights turned on. I saw Lincoln chained up the a cell and I rushed over to him.

"Lincoln, are you okay?" I asked

"I'm fine." Lincoln said

"This is all my fault." I said trying to hold back the tears forming in my eyes

"No it's not. Octavia, I love you. And I would get cut 100 times if that meant that you were safe."

I let out more tears "Lincoln, I love you too."

Lincoln let a tear roll down his cheek "see, I never cry. Look what your doing to me." He said jokingly

No one said anything for about 5 minutes. We just stood there holding hands. Lincoln interrupted the silence

"This isn't goodbye love. This is a May we meet again."

"Who told you that? Clarke?" I asked

"No it was Murphy." Lincoln said with a smile

"Well, I have to go." I said letting go of his hands

"I love you Octavia. I always will." Lincoln said as we kissed through the bars of his cell.

"I love you too." I said as I headed for the stairs.
