The Return

Part 4.5 | Bardo Time Everybody! Part 1

"Must have made her mad." Octavia said.

"I have that affect on most people." Murphy said with a smile.

"Oh yeah I'm sure." Octavia said sarcastically.

They looked up at the stars as the light of the fire illuminated their faces.

"I wonder what the Ark is like after 125 years just floating around unmanned in space." He said.

"Probably broken." Octavia said with a face that could only be described as saying "duh."

"Wow Sherlock you're really onto something there aren't you?" Murphy said in a condescending manner.

Octavia laughed.

"It's late we should go back inside and get some sleep. Since we both know it's going to be a while before Raven gets the mask working." Murphy said.

"I- I don't know Murphy... I just feel sick to my stomach whenever I am in that bunker." Octavia said as she was throwing random sticks and leaves in to the fire.

"Octavia, you made the best decision you could have in that situation. Nobody blames you for what happened down there, we all forgive you. It's time for you to forgive yourself." Murphy said genuinely.

Octavia was looking up at the stars trying to keep her tears in.

"I jus- I don't know if I can Murphy. All of it was my fault." Octavia said now crying.

"Octavia this was no ones fault. Not yours, not Indra's, not Kane's... it was no ones fault." Murphy said.

Octavia wiped her tears from her eyes.

"That was surprisingly very helpful Murphy." Octavia said with a sniffle.

Murphy gave a nod in acknowledgement.

"Did you rehearse your speech?" Octavia said wrapping the blanket closer around her body.

"Ha of course I did... you think I can be that compassionate off the top of my head?" Murphy said smugly.

Octavia shook her head and stood up.

"You're right it's late... we should head back inside the bunker."

Murphy nodded as he stood up and grabbed the bucket of water behind the log and threw it on the fire.

The two of them walked back to the bunker where they saw Indra training with her freshly sharpened sword.

"We're heading to bed. We should probably wake up early and go fishing." Octavia said

Indra nodded to them in acknowledgement. They then made their way to a room with some bunk beds.

"I call top bunk!" Murphy said as he ran into the room and jumped up onto the bed.

"You're such a child." Octavia laughed a little bit.

They soon fell asleep.

The next morning

Octavia POV

They were awoken by the sound of Raven shouting ecstatically.

Octavia automatically woke up and become on guard ready to fight any body who dared to try her.

Raven ran into the room.

"OMG! OMG GUYS I DID IT!" Raven said jumping up and down like a little kid

Murphy groaned as he was just now woken up from Raven's screaming.

"What did you do?" Octavia asked.

"Other then wake us up?" Murphy sighed as he rubbed his eyes that were still adjusting to the light.

"Ignore him... he's cranky." Octavia said.

"No I'm not."

"Anyway Raven what did you do?" Octavia asked.

"I FIXED THE HELMET!!!"

"That's great all we have left to do is make the bomb!" Clarke said.

Octavia hadn't noticed that Clarke was on a couch on the other side of the room. She must have tried to get some sleep.

Everyone looked over to Murphy with a smirk.

"Yeah yeah I know." Murphy said with a frown.
