The Tinder Box
Season 4 episode 5 
Part 1

⚔︎

Walking around Arkadia looking at the kids playing people working. And I saw a glimpse of Dylan.

He and I haven't talked since I told him about how I feel about Bellamy. I wish I did. I miss my friend. It was wrong for me to give him the signs but I never meant to hurt him. When I told him about Bellamy he should've known that I would have a thing for him. But it wasn't his fault. It was mine.

"Madison!" I heard Harper say to me making to turn around to see someone with a woman in his arms, I let out a small gasp running up to them.

"Octavia?" I said to her.

"Take her to Clarke now!" I yelled at him Harper taking them to Clarke and I follow behind. Please be alive, please.

"Clarke!" Harper said to her.

"Octavia?"

"She just stopped breathing." Harper said to her making me panic.

"Oh my god." I said to them.

"Ok. Get her on the table now." Clarke said throwing the supplies to the ground.

"There's a stab wound in her belly." Harper said to Clarke.

"She's soaked in blood." Harper said. I watched Octavia's body on the table she was covered in blood, bruises and everything. Come on, O.

"Okay. First things first." Clarke said as she began CPR.

"1...

2...

3...

4." Clarke whispered before looking at the guy beside Niylah.

"Who are you?" Clarke asked.

"How did this happen to her?" I asked him.

"Ilian kom Trishanakru." He said to me and Clarke.

"1,2.." Clarke said as i had my hands in my mouth.

"I was on my way home from polis when I found her." Ilian said to us. Clarke did mouth to mouth and began to do cpr again. Octavia come on. I walked up grabbed ahold of her hand placing it to my face.

"Wake up, O. Please." I whispered to her. I can't loose my best friend. Not yet. I lost one and can't loos this one. I heard a small cough coming out of Octavia making me let out a huge breath.

"Thank god." I whispered to her.

"Ok. Get her to medical now." Clarke said.

"Getting her here saved her life. Thank you." Clarke said to Ilian.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, shh, it's okay." Clarke told her as she tried to speak and move.

"It's okay. You're okay." I whispered to her.

"You're safe." I told her.

"Octavia you've lost a lot of blood, but you're home now. I'm gonna help you." Clarke said to her making me nod.

"Azgeda's coming." Octavia said making turn to clakre.

"What's she talking about?"

"I-,"

"Azgeda is coming. Army-marching."

"Who did this to you?" I asked her.

"Echo." She whispered to me before she rant about Azgeda coming here.

"Octavia, hey, hey, hey, stay with me." Clarke told her.

"War is here."Octavia told us before she closed her eyes.

"Take her. Go." Clarke said as I let go of her hand and they lift Octavia up from the table.

"Start an I.V., blood and fluids, and-and get a suture kit ready." Clarke said breathing heavily watching them taking her away rubbing my hands on my face anxiously.

"Hey, I have to do this, but get Kane on the Radio." She told Monty.

"Find out exactly what's going on." Clarke said.

"Go save her." I told Clarke.

"Please." I whispered to her as she gave me a nod.

"Don't worry, I will." She said to me before running off but stopped.

"Harper. Look at me." Clarke said to her.

"Convene the guard. Miller's dad is ranking officer. If Azgeda's coming we need to plan our defense, okay?" She told Harper.

"I'll be there as soon as I can." Clarke said before running off to Med bay. I felt an arm on my shoulder turning around to see Dylan.

"Hey." He whispered to me making me hug him tight.

"Hey." He whispered to me as he rubbed my back.

"She has to be alive." I said to him.

"She needs to be." I said giving hope that she will be alive and safe.

⚔︎

Dylan hasn't left my side since Octavia came back. I couldn't do anything other than standing there and crying, I moved my feet and helped Harper along the others to have a plan to Fight Azgeda.

"Ok. We station gunners along the wall." Miller said to us as he pointed to the map.

"That way, we can thin their numbers before they get a chance to close the distance." Miller said as we all were gather in the chancellors office.

"And when they get close?" Harper asked.

"Hydrazine." Miller said.

"We buried what was left in the engines when we landed. It's being dug up right now." Miller said to us.

"We're gonna pour it into the trenches." He said.

"Hey." I heard Clarke say making me move towards her.

"Hey, how is she?" I asked her.

"She's strong." Clarke said to me making me sigh.

"Thank god." I whispered to her.

"Listen. All we have to do is spread it in front of the outer wall. Then we the army gets close-,"

"we light them up." Riley said cutting Miller.

"That's right." Miller said.

"You want to light a fire outside the ship we just spent the last month getting ready?" Monty asked as I shake my head, "No." I said as they all turned to me.

"That's not happening." Clarke and I said to them.

"Any word from Kane?" Clarke asked Monty.

"No, but Jaha found the cargo truck twelve hours out, no sign of Bellamy or Stephen's." Monty said as I stared at him.

"You didn't tell me?" I asked him with a scoff. If it was Octavia it has to be Bellamy. No. He's alive I know he is.

"I have to speak to Roan. Something happened, some sort of misunderstanding." Clarke said making me nod.

"I'll go with you. I'll talk to Durant." I said her as she nodded.

"Clarke, if he wanted to talk, he wouldn't be coming with his army." Harper said to us shaking her head.

"Right, but there's only one way to get here from Polis." Clarke said turning her attention back to Miller.

"We'll ride out and meet him." Clarke said to them.

"Are you- no, absolutely not." Miller said.

"Why not?!" I said to him getting angry.

"Actually, that might work." Monty said.

"Monty, what are you talking about?" Harper asked.

"The ice nation thinks they have the element of surprise, but, thanks to Octavia we do. Pike showed us how valuable that can be." Monty said to us making me nod agreeing with him.

"You're citing Pike?" Harper asked.

"As awful as that sounds, yes." Monty said making me nod.

"Let's talk to them."

⚔︎

It was time. We were already waiting for them to arrive.

"What if it doesn't go as planned?" Clarke asked me making me sigh.

"It's going to work." I said before we heard a crowd. Azgeda. They came.

"They're here." I said to her as my eyes landed on Echo. The urge I have to throw my knife at her. She tried to kill Octavia and she missed.

"We need to talk." Clarke said to him from afar. Durant wasn't with them. He's not there?

"Little late for that." Roan said to Clarke.

"Archer! target wanheda en Keryon killer ripper."

'Archer! target Commander of Death And soul killer ripper.' Roan said as the archers pointed their bows at us.

I let out a smirk when they were green dots pointing at Roan. And that's why back up's always works. "That got their attention." I said to her.

"For now." She said to me as I watched two people walking forward with two guys covered by their faces. They too them off. It was Bellamy and Kane.

"Bellamy." I whispered wanting to walk towards him but Clarke stopped me.

"No." She told me as i turned to look at Bellamy on his knees. I had a feeling about it.

"Not yet." She told me making me look at her.

"Your move." Roan said as my eyes stayed on Bellamy as he looked back at me. At least I know he's alive and okay.

"What do we do?" I asked her.

"The plan." She told me as I nodded.

"Ten minutes. That's all I ask." Clarke said to Roan, I watched roan look at Echo before getting off his horse.

"Okay. That's good." I said before she gave me a nod and I followed her into the cave I turned my head towards Roan.

"He's following us." I whispered to her.

"Good. Now we just need to talk." Clarke said to me making me nod. Walking further down into the cave with Clarke, Roan.

"I suppose you two think you've got us right where you want us." Roan said to Clarke and I.

"Roan, we're Allies. What are you doing?" She asked him as we were in the cave.

"We had a deal."

"And we still do." I told him.

"You broke it." Roan said to us.

"I broke it?" Clarke asked, roan walking away.

"You nearly killed Octavia. You're holding Bellamy and our chancellor hostage." I yelled at him angrily. Clarke gave me a look not to act like this.

"You marched an army here to do what, exactly? Why would you kill us when you know we're all gonna die soon, anyway?" Clarke said to him.

"We're not here to kill you." Roan said to us.

"Then what?" I asked Roan.

"We're here to take your ship." Roan said to us raising my eyebrows.

"A ship you restored to save your people, not mine." Roan said to us.

"That ship is a backup plan." Clarke said walking towards him.

"It'll hold one hundred people tops." I said to him.

"Then you won't mind if we take it." Roan said to us.

"Hey, before you took him hostage, did Kane tell you about the night blood solution?" Clarke asked him.

"He tried. Sounds to me like you're making the next commander, also a violation of our deal." Roan said to Clarke.

"The flame is gone, and you know it." Clarke said.

"If Octavia is to be believed." Roan said making me roll my eyes.

"Roan, this isn't a conspiracy. I am doing everything I can to save all of us." Clarke said.

"No, you're not. You grieve for Lexa, yet you've learned nothing from her. She was Trikru, but she rose above loyalty to clan. You tell yourself you have, too. The great wanheda, the commander of death who says she wants to save everyone yet builds a ship for herself, for her people." Roan said looking at Clarke making me scoff.

"The night blood solution will save everyone."

"I don't believe in miracles." Roan said after me.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Clarke said.

"Yes it does!" Roan said us.

"Why?" I asked him.

"The way i see it you have two choices tell your shooters to stand down, give us your ship, and use whatever time we have left to find your night blood solution," he said.

"Or tell them to open fire." Roan said.

"We have more bullets than you have men." I said to roan crossing my arms.

"We both know you'll loos either way." I said to roan.

"Maybe we'll both take losses, Kane and Bellamy among them." He said to us making me glare at him.

"No," I said walking closer to him.

"You think you can shake my resolve? I was willing to sacrifice my own mother to Stop Alie." Clarke said making me smirk.

"You thinking using Bellamy and Kane against us will make us weak. You're wrong. You touch Bellamy or Kane you'll find yourself in hell with all the rest of you." I said harshly glaring a Roan.

"And I was willing to sacrifice mine to help you." Roan said to us.

"Yeah, well, she died for no reason." I said making him glare at me.

"Ain't we a pair?" Roan asked Clarke. Clarke didn't say anything to Roan at all.

"Fight it is." Roan said to Clarke walking away from us.

"Wait." Clarke said making me look at her.

"What if we share it?" She asked him making me look at her surprised. what? Is she serious?

"You're serious?" I asked her as she gave me a simple nod.

"Half." Clarke said to him.

"Fifty spots." Clarke suggested him.

"Fifty spots apiece. I can live with that." Roan said to her, I tilt my head.

"Can your people? They wanted war." I said to Roan.

"I'm a king, Madison." He said to me, I gave him just a nod.

"I don't have to ask my people what they want. The real question is, how are you gonna sell this to your people? They won't be happy about losing half their seats in the lifeboat." Roan said to us. He has a point about our people. They won't take this the good way.

"We don't need to be happy. We need to survive." Clarke said, roan got up.

"If Skaikru won't follow you when the time comes to close the door, Azgeda will see that it gets done." Roan said making Clarke look down, besides she got up.

"Well, let's hope it never comes to that." Clarke said she took her hand out and roan took his hand and knife out before he cut his arm.

"Oso bind ourselves kom drein au" roan said giving the knife to Clarke.

"Oso bind ourselves kom drein au"

'We bind ourselves with blood.' They both said before shaking their hands together.

"All right? Clear." I said to him and Clarke.

"Let's get out of here." I said to them as we three walked out the cave making me turn to Clarke.

"We do make a good team, do we Clarke griffin?" I asked her with a smile as she smiled at me.

"Yes, we do. Madison Gilbert." She said to me making me let out a small chuckle.

"Ai haihefa."

' My king.'  I heard Echo said making me look at Bellamy.

"Bellamy?" I said running up to him but Echo pointed her sword at me making me glare at her.

"Put it down before I'll kill you myself I've got a lot of anger to take out on you." I said through gritted teeth to her angrily as she looked between me and her king before she put it down and I immediately hugged Bellamy.

"Ah, thank god." I whispered to him as he kissed the top of my head.

"Are you okay?" I asked him pulling away and looking if he was hurt.

"I'm okay." He said to me making me smile as he smiled back.

"No one died today." Bellamy said to Clarke and I.

"What did we miss?" Roan asked them as I watched Echo and Bellamy give each other a glance before Echo spoke up.

"Nothing, sire." Echo said to him but I could tell she was lying to him.

"So take it we're not at war?" Bellamy asked.

"Not today." Roan said to him.

"And the ship?" Bellamy asked.

"We'll have to share it." I told him from beside him.

"If we can't crack a night blood. We'll share Arkadia, find a way for us to survive together." Clarke said turning to look at Roan as Bellamy looked at me if it was true.

And it was. I gave him a nod saying it was a lie and it was the only thing to stop this.

We heard a loud explosion making us turn to the direction.

You could see black smoke for a far and it wasn't just any place. "Oh my god." I said to looking at it.

"It came from Arkadia." Clarke said as we stared at the smoke coming from Arkadia.

⚔︎

Oh my god.

"I-I need to, I-i need to find my mom." I said to running back into Arkadia.

"Madison." I heard Dylan said grabbing my arm.

"No, m-my mom." I said trying to push him away from me.

"D-Dylan. I-I need to go." I said to him as I watched everyone run out of Arkadia. It was completely chaos.

"L-let me go." I said to him.

"Madison!" I heard my mother yell making me pull away from Dylan and immediately running up to her.

"Mom!" I yelled at her as she hugged me tight and i cried in her arms.

"Oh, thank god! Thank god you're okay." I said as I didn't pull away.

"I'm okay." She whispered to me as she kept me in her arms.

"You're okay." I said as I cried. I thought she was in there. I was almost ready to go inside and find her. God she's alive.

Oh my god. I would completely go insane if she wasn't. We heard the explosion increase everything being destroyed by the fire.

Everything was gone.

All we worked for to make sure we survive the radiation is gone.

"It was Ilian. I tried to stop him."
