Chapter 1

A piercing cry filled the air as two parents stared lovingly at their child. The man smiled at the baby in his arms as he ran his fingers through the peach fuzz on her head. The women watched with soft eyes as father and daughter interacted for the first time. "What should we name her she asked Jake as he looked town at their daughter thoughtfully. Later he said "How about Clarke.". Abby nodded "I like it." she said smiling softly.

Jake smiled as Clarke grabbed his finger in her tight grip "This ones going to be a fighter." Abby sighed softly "Jake what do we do if she gets the mark." she said referring to the mysterious mark that a rare few on the ark get on their eighteenth birthday. Jake looked at Abby "We love her jus the way she is." he said softly before looking down at the baby in his arms "And nothing will ever happen to you as long as I live.". The cherubic baby in his arms gave him a gummy smile.

Eighteen years later

Clare sighed as she woke up in her tent on the ground. She stood up and stretched "Happy birthday to me she muttered to herself with a frown. She unzipped and headed toward the rations bin and took an handful of berries that Monty had deemed edible. What she didn't notice was the strange looks she was getting a she popped a few berries into her mouth.

She spotted a group f people standing around talking about something she couldn't hear. Walking over to the group she greeted them only to receive wide eyes and strange looks. "What, is there something on my face?." she asked as she scrubbed her face with her hand. "Go look at your face." Octavia sad as she blinked owlishly at Clarke. Clarke gave them all weird looks she went to look at herself in the reflection of the water. She gasped as she looked at the mark on her forehead as her fingers automatically went to touch it. With a gasp she took her fingers away when the mark tingled upon her touching it.

Finn interrupted the moment by saying "You have a mark? Does that mean its your birthday.?" Octavia gave an eye roll as she said "Well obviously dipshit." Clarke sighed as she looked back down at her reflection with a frown.

A few days later

Clarke climbed up the small latter only to be stopped by a man whose name she couldn't remember. "Get the hell out of my way." demanded as she pushed her way past hi and over to the group surrounding the injured grounder. She watched his eyes widened as he got a look at her face. "What ate you doing here Clarke?." Bellamy asked the blonde in question. She sighed "Finn was poisoned and I think he knows the antidote." she said as she looked back to the man tied in front of her. Bellamy frowned "We will get the answer from him." He said raising his hand. Clarke grabbed his wrist before he could strike "I need to talk to him myself." she said softly as she lowered his arm. Bellamy went to grab her arm only to get a snarl from the grounder. Bellamy sighed "Fine princess, but I will be back in five minutes." he said as he walked toward the ladder, motioning the others to fallow him.

After they left Clarke walked over to the bag that was in the grounders possession when he was brought here. As she opened the bag the grounder watched her calmly. She pointed to the vile on the far left " Is this the antidote?." she asked, but received no reply. Clark sighed and pointed to the one next to it "How about this one?." she asked and received a slow shake of the head. Clarke smiled "Ok what about this one?." she asked pointing to the one in the middle. The grounder slowly nodded his head as he stared at the mark on Clarke's forehead. She swallowed and stood up "Thank you." she said sincerely. The grounder sighed and said in a deep and gravely voice "You are welcome skai heda." Clarkes eyes widened and as she was about to say something else she heard yelling from downstairs. With one last look to the man she climbed back down the ladder.

That night Octavia broke Lincoln out using the hallucinogenic nuts. As Lincoln ran through the forest only one thing was on his mind "I must tell heda."
