Chapter 3

The rest of the tide to the grounder camp was quiet, apart from the occasional question from Clarke. Mostly because Clarke didn't want to talk about the imprint anymore. She was uncomfortable talking about it, especially when there were grounders around that could hear everything they said.

Clarke sighed impatiently as she leaned back against Anya "How much longer?" she asked with a furrowed brow. Anya looked down at her with an amused expression. She gave a small shake of her head and put her head on top of Clarkes as she said "Not much longer hodnes (love) I promise." Clarke turned her head to look at Anya over her shoulder. "What does hodnes mean?" Clarke asked with an adorably confused expression. Anya gave her a little smirk and looked ahead "Now where is the fun in that." she sais slyly.

Clarke made a little humph sound as she crossed her arms and looked ahead. They continued their ride for a few minutes until they caught of the grounder in front of them jerk and fall to the ground, horse raring up in panic as it ran ahead. Anya tensed as she looked around hissing "Mountain men." under her breath. She covered Clarkes body with her own as she dug her heals into her horses side. Clarke gave a small gasp as they shot forward, clinging to the horses mane to keep herself from falling off.

She could hear grounders yelling behind them and running into the forest, no doubt after the sniper. Anya growled and gritted her teeth as she felt a stinging sensation in her arm, looking down she saw blood running down her left bicep. Luckily it was only a graze, she reminded herself to go to the healer after she got her mate safely to the camp. Spurring her horse to go faster they shot down the road, almost there Anya thought to herself.

As they could just make out the camp through the trees grounders came out of the forest, one of them had the now more calm horse's reins in his grasp. Clarke looked at the grounders surrounding them, growling and sporting very unhappy expressions. Anya growled and said something deeply in her language that made the grounders step back and stop growling, although the unhappy expression never left their faces. Anya lead her horse forward, into the camp. Clarke gulped at seeing all the curious and annoyed expressions centered on her.

Anya stopped and got off her horse with a very uncomfortable face. It was then that Clarke noticed all the blood that was slowly making its way down her arm. She gasped as she jumped off the side of the horse, thankfully never falling and making a fool of herself. Clarke took Anya's arm in her hands as she inspected the wound with a critical eye. She cleared her throat "Well luckily it's just a graze, but I should still clean it out a bandage it."

Anya took her arm out Clarkes gentle grip, regretting it the moment she did. She shook her head and said "I will just go to the healer later. Clarke shook her head as she looked at Anya "But i'm a healer I can do it myself.". Anya looked at Clarke with a frustrated expression only to get an eyebrow raise in return. Anya huffed and lead her to a large tent to the left.

When Clarke entered the tent behind Anya she made note of the many mysterious potions and plants. Anya went over to one of the shelves, pulling out bandages, a rag and a bowl full of water. She put the objects on a table and sat down in a near by chair. Clarke went over and wet the rag as Anya tore her sleeve off. Clarke turned and softly dabbed the blood away, not noticing that Anya was staring at her face. As she cleaned the wound she felt Anya play with her hair, but chose to ignore it in favor of focusing on the problem at hand.

When Clarke turned and took the bandage off the table and quietly started wrapping the wound. "You know" Anya said breaking the silence "Wolves are naturally fast healers, so there is no reason to do this." she said softly only to smirk as she said "Not that I mind you touching me.". Clarke turned red she ducked her head, focusing on the task in front of her.

When she was done Clarke straitened up, a small blush still tinted her cheeks. She cleared her throat as she said "I'm finished." stepping back as Anya stood up and looked at Clarke with soft eyes. "We should go see the heda, i'm sure she would want to meet you." Anya said as walked toward the door as she called over her shoulder "Are you going to just stand there or are you going to fallow me hodnes (love). Clarke scowled as she fallowed behind Anya "I will find out what that means." she said determined to do just that.
