Rick’s POV:I was proud of Silas for appearing when he was needed and saving Octavia. everybody had stopped hurting Octavia when Silas made his way to her and cupped her face in his hand.“Umm, you are too rough!” I murmured, cringing at how hard he was pressing her cheeks.“Just because she is a cheap who** doesn’t mean we have to stoop her level too,” his words rang through my head, okay! So he was on their side too just not in favor of violence.“Yes! We will take her home and punish her there,” I spoke up once I felt clueless to what I was seeing right now. Everybody turned to me and then shared a glance.“That is a good idea, she is his culprit, he would own her and fu** her whenever he wants,” a man yelled and others cheered. How was it a fair punishment? And why were we all hitting her?“What? n---,” Silas frowned and watched everyone’s face

Rick’s POV:She didn’t seem to be ready to hear me out so I had to say what she wants to hear.“Don’t you want to be with Hope?” hearing the name of her daughter changed her eye color back to normal, the hurt look on her face ached my soul too.She has been through a lot from a very young age, imagine being a teen mom and helping your daughter grow up the best all by yourself. Octavia has earned a respect in my heart more than ever now.“How? She will not look at me the same now,” her entire persona changed and she looked miserable.“Why?” I asked and when she glared at me I corrected myself, “I know some video but ---I can’t see the video and neither has the people in the real world seen it,” I said these words while hunching down so that she really focuses on them and not what happened here in the dream world.“Why do you keep mentioning the real

It was awkward watching Silas glaring at Rick, who was looking at me for help now. I could have left him to suffer just because the other him had made me suffer a lot, but playing games like a child was not the best thing for us to do right now. “We planned it together,” I interrupted but Silas shushed me while using his finger that he tapped on his lips. I don’t know about others but Silas was the craziest one in my dream. “I am not even talking to you,” he said and that pissed me off. If he can talk to Rick, why not me? Who was pulling his strings? “Why? Why don’t you want to talk to me?” I hunched over like an angry bird flapping her winds and approached him, “If I can talk to you after you moved on with Mavi and oh! You fell in love with Roxanne again?” I shouted, well I hope the real Silas hasn’t fallen in love with her. I knew this was just a dream but I needed to get out of here and not only that, whatever I have to plan as an escape from the cabin, it is

“You call it a mistake?” I closed my eyes to calm my nerves down. Rick’s gentle touch around my wrist helped me hold my emotions in for now.“That was all her fault, she was being too reluctant to someone who truly loved her,” Mavi raised her voice in defense of her son, she was the reason her son never understood the fine line between right and wrong. “He forced himself on her out of rage after she passed out. Instead of being understanding of his frustration, she told Abel about it and cried a river to make my son look like a monster. She didn’t even think twice that her friend made a mistake and oh! She shouldn’t have drank anything if she was such a pure soul. That stupid bond they shared made Abel to give the power of punishment to the hands of Martha, who asked my son for an open battle without any powers. She fu*king killed my son because her ego was too big,” she finished and I urged to throw up. There

“Octavia!” Silas smiled while I expected him to be mad at me, to yell at me. I bet Roxanne had shown him the video and probably made it seem like I have run away from him but he still smiled in contentment.“Silas!” after so many years of suffering and accusing each other either under the control of some stupid blue rose or by misconception, saying his name didn’t only contain tears in my eyes but also love for him.“My Octavia!” he corrected himself and my heart skipped a beat, everything turned blurry while his image stayed bright in my view.I can only thank the nightmare to make me forget the past and move on, I was desperate to accept Silas and get accepted by him. our moment of reunion was interrupted once I acknowledged the person behind him was equally shocked to see me.“Rick!” Silas looked shocked and it definitely took him a moment to recognize him.“You are back!” Roxanne
