I change back into my other clothes and walk down the steps where everyone waits.

"Back in your murder gear already. That's a good sign" John says with a smirk.

"Diana, what happened?" Clarke asks quickly

"Jordan told them everything. Where is he?" I demand

"On the roof with the barmaid." John answers

I don't wait- I run.

"Jordan. Jordan! Hey- hey" my voice drops when I see him slumped on the ground, barely conscious.

"Delilah?" He mumbles as I try to lift him up.

"What happened?" I ask

"Where is she? Who did this?" A guard shouts, yanking Jordan by the arm.

"Hey, stop! He's hurt. Put him down." I snap

"Wait, no- there. Delilah" Jordan mumbles, pointing weakly

"You get back here!" The guard yells as a figure disappears into the crowd.

"The children of Gabriel are in the compound. They'll use the night harvest to try and get her out. Follow me, please" the guard says

"No, no, no" I mutter, gently laying Jordan back down before I take off running.

I catch up to the guard as he pulls the cloth from the barrel- but it's empty.

"Russel's here somewhere. I have to warn him. Keep looking" he orders

I nod, tearing through barrels until I spot one being dragged away by a man.

"Hey! Hey- stop!" I shout, sprinting after him.

He whirls and slashes at me with a knife. I duck, slam him to the ground. His blade slices into my hand as I grab it, blood dripping hot and sharp.

"You have the blood..." he whispers, stunned.

"There- she's got him" someone yells, and the man shoves me hard, scrambling away.

"He's getting away" I push forward, but the guard grabs my arm.

"He won't get pasted the shield. We'll get him" he said

"She's here" another guard lifts Delilah's limp body.

Russell appears, eyes narrowing at my bleeding hand. He takes it gently, studying my blood.

"Set a guard detail to check on rose. Tell cillian to bring his bag to the greenhouse. Go." Russell commands

I watch Delilah being carried away, my hand still stinging as russell ties a cloth around it.

"What was wrong with her? She looked like she couldn't move." I ask as cillian cleans the wound.

"She couldn't. They used a paralytic derived from a beetle my daughter discovered a long time ago. Wears off in a few hours." Russell explains softly.

"I didn't know you had a daughter" I said

"She died in a fall, six years ago." He says, voice tight.

"Your friend Murphy has red blood." Cillian observes

"Most people do" I mutter

"We're not most people, are we?" Russel asks, cutting his finger. Black blood drips. My chest tightens.

"We have the same blood, Diana. Royal blood. That's why they went after Delilah." He said

"The children do Gabriel got past jade and took my rose!" A woman cries, rushing in.

"We know they're still here. We'll search everywhere inside the compound." Russell answer firmly

"How did they get inside the compound?" She demands

"Keep your voice down, Miranda." He warns

"That's the second time the shield's been breached in two days." She said

"It wasn't breached. The children of Gabriel knew we'd go for the ship. They were waiting when we lowered it for kaylees team. Rose is still in the sanctum and let's go find her." He said.

But then the ground trembles. We all look up as the Eligius dropship flies overhead, the shield lowering with it.

"This was their plan all along. They knew we'd lower the shield to let them back in." Russel says darkly

"We have to assume they have rose." Cillian says

"Assemble a team to go after her. Do it now....we'll get her back" Russell hugs the woman

Her voice breaks.
"Would you be so calm if it was your daughter's turn?" She asks

I stare at them both, confused, unsettled.

Later, with the others:
"We know their founders on Eligius 3 were all nightbloods." I say

"And we know hereditarily it's incredibly rare." Clarke adds

"Queen and Heda Diana now. Perfect." John mutters

"Not perfect if it makes her a target." Miller says

"It does. Which is why we can't tell them about Madi. Or Clarke. Unless you already did. Think. You told her everything else" I snap, glaring at Jordan.

"I didn't tell her that. I was just...being friendly. I'm- I'm the reason they're throwing us out." He looks crushed. I nod slightly, but don't answer.

Then the door opens.

"Mom!" Madi runs in

"Madi!" Relief floods me as I scoop her into my arms.

Behind her, Bellamy enters with the others. Our eyes meet, and I smile.
"Thank you" I mouth

"Oh, I'm so glad to see you" I murmur, holding Madi's face.

"Me too" she hugs me tight again.

The door opens once more- Russell and Simone step in.

"It's been a long day so I'll keep this short. Sanctum was created to be a sanctuary for the human race. After seeing you save Delilah, we decided that you deserve that too." Russell says

"You changed your mind? We can stay?" I ask carefully

"For now, but no more of you. You will follow our rules and respect our traditions. And we will teach you how to survive here." Simone says

"What my wife is trying to say is: welcome to sanctum." Russell adds

Smiles ripple through the group. I hug Madi tighter this time. Bellamy slides his arm around me. For the first time today, I let myself breathe.

"You're with child. How far along?" Simone asks suddenly, eyes on Diyoza.

"Six months, give or take." She answers

"Through cryosleep, then?" She asked

"Right" she nods

"That's remarkable. If you'd like, we can have one of our prenatal physicians examine you in the morning" Simone says

"Id like that. Thank you" Diyoza smiles

"You should've seen Diyoza and Octavia fighting terrorists" Madi tells me with pride.

"Where is Octavia?" I ask, scanning faces- until my gaze lands on Bellamy. His silence answers for him.

"Charmaine Diyoza?" Russel asks

"Yes" she nods

"Escort this woman past the shield right now." He snapped

"Just wait, what is this?" Bellamy asked quickly

"Seems my reputation precedes me" diyoza mutters

"You could say that. Your fave is in our history books next to hitler and bin Laden." Russell says coldly.

"Please, what about the baby?" Abby begs

"If any of you would care to join her be my guest" Russell said flatly.

Madi tenses, ready to fight, but I stop her.
"Madi, no" I whisper

"It's okay, kid. Stay frosty" Diyoza says before being dragged away.

John mutters under his breath.
"One way or another, the devil gets his due." He says
