Scars

Chapter 1.

Clarke thought that the mountain had broken her. She was wrong, the pain of killing so many had been erased by the pain she was now enduring. She had trusted him and of course like most she was foolish enough to trust and he had betrayed her, she had left Bellamy along with the rest of her people. Her people that constantly forced her to carry the weight of their decisions, their mistakes.

When she had parted ways with Bellamy she doubted she would ever see him again, that she would survive long enough to be held by her mother one last time. It had been two weeks since she had left camp Jaha she had been wondering around the woods near Ton DC when they had found her, they had him with them. Bellamy was kneeling in front of the strangers, their clothes styled differently than previous grounders she had met. Scares lined their filth covered faces.

"this is her? This is Wanheda?" the tallest of the men asked Bellamy as he looked her up and down obviously not impressed by the blonde sky girl. Bellamy looked up at Clarke his eyes full of tears, he has certainly looked better. Bruising and old blood marked his face.

"I'm sorry Clarke…they…they said they would kill O if I didn't take them to you" he looked away from her guilt and shame ruining his once handsome features.

Clarke sighed deeply before saying "I'm Wanheda" it happened so fast she had no time to react, Bellamy was thrown to the side of the large group of men as they charged her. One second she's standing the next she was face down in the dirt, the wet mud covering her face. She could taste it in her mouth. She moved her head to the side glancing up at the leader as he reached out and cleared her eyes of mud.

"my queen wishes to see you" his face was replaced with the inside of a sack that had not so gently been put over her head.

"well done boy you are free to go" Clarke could hear Bellamy getting to his feet.

"what… what will you do with her?" his voice weak.

"my queen wants her. If you are asking if we will kill her...the answer is yes but not before the queen has bleed her dry…now leave I will not give you another chance coward" Clarke let the tears fall freely from her eyes, the soaked the heavy sack. How could he do this to her?

She could hear his hurried footsteps as he fled the scene.

"some warrior you have there Wanheda" she didn't answer, there was nothing to say.

2 days later

They had been travelling for days her feet swollen and blistered the sack was never removed from her head. As she continued to stumble alongside the warrior that had one hand painfully gripped to her left arm. He stops suddenly and she was thrown to her knees but it felt like he was kneeling to.

"my queen! We have brought you Wanheda" the man from before announced.

"have you now?" she sounded bored as if she hadn't ordered them to find her.

"let me see her face" the sack was harshly removed and the light from the fire in the middle of the room blinded her. "this is Wanheda? She's nothing more than a child…you brought the mountain to its knees?" Clarke looked up at the older woman who stood above her. She said nothing.

"Hmm brave little thing, aren't you? I can see why Lexa took a liking to you" Clarke couldn't help the reaction that spread across her face at the mention of the commander.

"I see the feelings were mutual" a small laugh followed her words as she continued to watch the blonde sky girl.

"you know me?"

"….." Clarke said nothing just continued to stare and the scared woman in front of her. The blow was fast and hard as hand collided with her face knocking her to the side, ringing in her ears her vision blurred for a moment. A groan escaping her now parted lips, she was brought back to her previous position by a pair of strong arms.

"do. You. Know. Me?" Clarke nodded.

"good, do you know what I did to the last person lexa had feelings for?" Again, Clarke nodded the memory of when lexa had opened up to her about the death of Costia flooding her mind.

"you see our brave Heda forgets her teachings from time to time and I as a member of her great coalition have a duty to remind her that love is weakness. A hard task but one I gratefully do for her sake" the mocking evident in her cold voice. Again, Clarke heard lexa in her head mockery is not the product of a strong mind Clarke.

"you and I Wanheda will remind her of this lesson" Clarke was brought to her feet then as queen Nia stalked closer, her face inches' from Clarkes. She brought a hand up to almost lovingly stroke the blonde woman's face.

"that's right stay strong sky girl it will make this that much more enjoyable" then her lips were on Clarkes for the briefest of moments.

"lock her up and start her… punishment… feel free to scream out Wanheda my warriors feed on it" Clarke smirked at her before releasing the spit that laid in her mouth hitting the woman in front of her. Bullseye!

3 weeks later

Clarke stood in a dark cave shackled to the wall, she couldn't sit her shackles keeping her firmly in place. She had no sense of time anymore. Her body a canvas holding an uncountable number of cuts, bruises and burns. She heard footsteps approaching but didn't bother to open her eyes steeling herself for the torture that was about to come.

Instead her arms fell free from there bindings and she dropped to her knees, confused she looked up into the face of an attractive man. Scars on his face like the rest of the warriors but she hadn't seen him before.

"be still little sun… my name is Roan I'm getting you out of here" he helped her to stand and turned them to entrance of the cave "when we get out of here you must find a woman 2 miles east of here, she goes by the name of Niylah she will help you. Then you must find Heda tell her that Prince Roan sent you, do you hear me little sun?" as they walked she saw the warriors that had tortured her hours on end dead on the floor around them.

As they made the tree line he released his hold on her and she swayed slightly "here take this knife, now go good luck" with that he disappeared into the night. She stood for a moment before snapping back to life and moving her body as fast as she could through the thick woods. She didn't know how long she had been walking for when her body gave out and she slumped to the ground, she lay on her back focusing on the stars through the trees. She tested her voice "lexa" of course that would be the name on her lips.

She was weak, tired, hungry. She closed her eyes as sleep claimed her, she didn't know how long she had been asleep for when she was awoken by movement nearby. when she heard a gasp, she managed to open her eyes slightly expecting to see queen Nia's warriors but instead a tall dark blond haired grounder stood near. All Clarke could muster was "help…me".

3 days later

Clarke awoke expecting to feel the cold breeze on her damaged skin or the hard rocks under her back but instead she was surrounded in warmth. Then she remembers the woman. She sat bolt upright in a bed surprised to feel less pain than she thought she would be in.

Her eyes darted around the tent searching. Searching for the woman. But she was very much alone in what looked like a grounders tent. Different from lexa's, smaller but warm and safe none the less. Lexa. The whole time she had been in that cave she had not stopped thinking about her. How much she wanted to hate her but she just couldn't, she was taken away from deep forest green eyes as the woman from before entered the tent surprised to see Clarke awake.

" hei" she said as she placed the bowl of food down on the make shift table in the corner.

"hi…" Clarke croaked grabbing her throat, when had she last had something to drink?

"here… drink" the woman handed her a water skin. Clarke almost drank the lot in one breath choking slightly as it went down.

"whoa… easy little sun" Clarke wiped her mouth on her as she now noticed dressed sleeve and looked at the stranger.

"little sun? he called me that to?"

"we thought it fitting for you… how are you feeling" Clarke blushed slightly at the nickname coming from the beautiful woman's mouth in front of her.

"better than I thought I ever would again…thank you, for you know, saving me"

The stranger looked sad for a moment before moving closer to the bed and sitting on the end of it mindful not to get too close to Clarke.

"I didn't think you would make it… your injuries were…uncountable" Clarke looked away from her. This woman had seen her; she was exposed now more than ever even with her clothes on.

"my name is Niylah"

"Clarke"

"Clarke...I think I like little sun more" she said with a cheeky smile and once again Clarke was blushing.

"well Clarke my little sun you will stay here and heal" she got up to get the food she had previously brought in with her when Clarke grabbed her wrist.

"thank you…for everything. I have to ask the man who saved me" before she could finish Niylah interrupted her.

"Roan. We will talk about this later, rest now" she reached out with her free hand to brush some loose hair behind Clarkes ear, as the hand got closer every atom inside of Clarke rushed into panic and without thought she throw herself away from the approaching touch.

"PLEASE…please don't… don't touch me" tears fell freely from her eyes her body shaking in fear.

"I'm sorry…I won't…I won't touch you if that's what you want"

"thank you…I'm...I'm sorry I didn't mean to"

"hush its fine here eat then you must rest little sun" she gave Clarke the food then left the tent. Clarke ate, drank then laid back down on the now tear soaked pillow below her as she pictured green eyes and a soft commanding voice calling her to sleep.

She was safe for now at least.
