Lexa was still sitting against the wall sniffling into Clarke's shirt when dawn broke. Sunlight beamed into the room. This made Lexa realize the truth again. Clarke wasn't here. She probably wouldn't be here again ever.

Meanwhile in the woods

Clarke had been walking thru the woods for what seemed like ages but she knew it was just a short journey. But she needed to go. She needed to go back to SkaiKru. To her people. She didn't belong in Polis. She didn't belong next to the commander as her lover. Clarke is SkaiKru and that's what she'll always be. Hours she spent looking at the woods from the balcony. Behind those woods lay Arkadia. Her real home. She loved Lexa. She really did but Polis was her home away from home.

The thoughts of Lexa now alone in Polis scared her. She would be safe. Besides being a great warrior herself there were hundreds of other warriors and guards walking around Polis. But Clarke always felt more secure about Lexa's safety when she the Wanheda herself was by Lexa's side. Noticing night already began to darken the woods Clarke pushed on. Heading to Arkadia. The place she should be.

Meanwhile in Polis

Somehow Lexa found the strength to get up and put on her own clothes and listen to ambassadors and chancellors bicker about who owned what and who must answer for crimes. Titus obviously noticed the commanders absent mind but she didn't care. Without Clarke every decision she took made her doubt herself anyway. This is was ridiculous. At the end of the meeting Lexa stood up and left the room first. Not noticing a dark figure lurking in the shadows. As she made her way to her room again she ignored the speech Titus gave her about staying focused. She locked him out of her room and sat on her bed. Before she could react a figure jumped from the shadows and grabbed Lexa. Immobilizing her by breaking her arms and putting her in a headlock.

Meanwhile in the woods near Arkadia

Could it be? Was she really hearing the hustle and bustle of Arkadia already. Not stopping to rest at night really got her closer to Arkada fast. She climbed up a little hill and there it was, Arkadia. It looked a bit different then she was used to but she still recognized it. Not being able to control herself she ran down the hill and headed to the gate. At first the guards didn't recognize her and pulled their guns but as she got closer they lowered them quickly and opened the gate.

"Chancellor!" they yelled in union and Kane appeared quickly walking to the get. He immediately called for Abby and before she knew she was surrounded by everyone she cared for.

Abby hugged her daughter "we didn't expect you."

"Honestly I didn't expect to be here either" Clarke admitted and looked down. She missed her mother but that must be the same feeling Lexa had now and it killed her to think she hurt Lexa.

"Did something happen?" Octavia asked noticing the way Clarke was acting. Not her usual self. She seemed worried. Broken. Hurt. Feelings Octavia wasn't all so comfortable with. The question raised alarm with the others and they all stared at her.

Clarke swallowed she had to answer them. If only she knew how. Did something happen? Yes she was to chicken to admit to Lexa that she missed having her own life. Her old life. But that probably wasn't what her friends meant. "Nothing happened." she said softly "I just missed you all"

Raven cheered "I say we have a welcome back party tonight". The rest erupted in cheering and went of to do their thing leaving Abby and Clarke standing there together. Call it a mother's intuition but Abby knew there was something more going on.

She leaned closer to her daughter "Did Lexa hurt you?" it was obvious that Abby still didn't trust Lexa. Not even now her own daughter shared a bed with Lexa.

Clarke looked up at her mother tears in her eyes "she didn't hurt me. I am the one who hurt her"

Meanwhile at Polis

Lexa slowly came to her head feeling heavy. When the fog cleared out of her mind she tried to move but found herself bound feet to hands by thick metal chain. Every move hurting her broken arms like hell. Her attacker was smart. Immobilizing her in a painful but not deadly way. She sat perfectly still trying to make sense of her surroundings. She was still in her room. The light of the candles had gone dimmer which meant a few hours had passed. Voices. There were voices in the distance. Coming closer. Scream or stay quiet? Lexa decided to stay quited. You never know what your attacker will do if you scream. The voices stopped and reappeared behind her. When they resumed talking her blood turned cold. Ice nation. She recognized their native tongue. Lexa tried to keep her rage under control. This will be war. The footsteps came closer and a man kneeled before her. Leaning closer to her the candlelight lit up his voice revealing who he was. King Roan. Lexa was confused. Was this payback for her killing his queen?

"I was surprised when I didn't find Wanheda warming up your bed" he said taunting Lexa hoping for a reaction. But Lexa didn't respond. "Then again I should have known. It only verified the message I was asked to bring you"

"You attacked your Heda just to deliver a message?"

"Not just a message. A message about Wanheda." Lexa looked at him listening very carefully. "I got you attention now don't I?"

"What is your message?"

"My hunters saw your precious Wanheda get captured by the sky people."

"Why would her own people captured her?" Lexa asked trying not to laugh at his stupidity.

Roan didn't appreciate this "because she convinced her people to see you as an ally only to have you betray her, killed her own kind in the mountain, choose you over her own people. Pick your reason" he spat.

Lexa knew all of this was true. Clarke convinced her that SkaiKru wasn't at treat for the both of them but what if she was wrong. Roan made a decent point. Clarke was the face to all the pain and suffering suffered by SkaiKru. Certain members would love to see her beheaded.

"Why did you bring me the message?"

"Ice Nation wants to show Heda that they are loyal. Warheda is precious to you. This is a token of her loyalty."

Lexa looked at the chains "Again all of this for message?"

Roan laughed slightly "I was certain you'd kill me before I got a chance to speak. Don't worry you just dislocated your shoulders, elbows and wrists." with that Roan stood up and looked down at Lexa "your guards will be here in a few minutes to free you. Enjoy your war with the sky people." Together with the mysterious man he disappeared into the night.

A few minutes later guards stormed in the room to free her from her restraints. While her healer moved the bones back to position her anger raged on. Not only was Clarke stupid enough to leave all on her own while everyone still wanted a piece of Wanheda but she got captured by her own people who as Roan summed up so nicely for her had quite the score to settle. "Get ready for war!" she yelled at a confused warrior "at dawn we march to surround SkaiKru!"
