A/N: Hello people of earth! Here's a new chapter that's been rattling around my head all day. Enjoy x)


I barely let Raven finish as I drop the radio in my hand in shock and run full sprint for the woods. The last scouting party had seen the Mountain Men spying on us near Anya's village. But the Commander was coming to meet me. I took down the Mountain Men, I'm reviving her people. If the Mountain men assacinate Lexa it will be my fault. They have her picture, they can have a sniper take her down before her guards see anything. My breath comes out painfully as a stich in my side halts my progress. I'm almost to the edge of the forest about 10 miles outside of Tondc. I breathe in and out until I freeze not daring to move an inch. Now that I'm immobile I notice something. There is no noise. No birds in the trees, insects flying around, there's not even wind in the trees. I was being watched. I slowly move getting up from being bended at the waist and try to casually make my way to the river, holding the handle of my gun.

I casually brush my hand over it as I bend again, bending down to the water as if I was going to take a drink.

My blond hair swings forward covering my face and my eyes, which are roving the canopy in the trees looking for the sniper. I could practically feel the eyes. Where are they?

A memory of my father and I sitting down, watching a movie comes back to me. It was about the ground only prehistoric animals had been breeded. A hunter was going after a velociraptor and he felt predator eyes on him as well. A line that stuck out to me- "Who's hunting who?"

I swallow trying not panic when I hear a crack of a twig being crushed underfoot.

I quickly whip around, gun in hand and aiming at the perpetrator.

Its aimed at a group of grounders traveling horseback, who were staring at me. I breath a sigh of relief when I recognise Lexa, her eyes marked in kohl. She stood in the middle of her guards, regarding me in silence.

I almost smile. I forgot how beautiful she was. And how silent the Grounders travel in the woods.

I start to lower my gun when her guard yells at me trigedasleng. I open my mouth to reply when I see something behind them, behind Lexa.

He's hiding in the tree a few feet away and his gun was trained on her! I re-aim my gun and shoot, aiming for his head. The man is knocked back into the tree following the sound of the bullet leaving my weapon. I start to smile victoriously, staring past them at the dead Mountain Man when I feel something strange. I look down, lips parted in surprise, at the dagger embedded in my stomach. Blood starts to pool around the wound and the pain starts to get noticeable, going from a sort of numb pulling sensation to feeling like my insides were on fire.

I drop my gun and stare up at the young grounder a few feet away from me whose hand is outstretched having just thrown the blade. My eyes flutter before I drop to my knees, my strength leaving me. I cough, blood spurting out. My knowledge of war wounds tell me this is bad. I look up confusedly at Lexa, her mouth open in horror at the dead Mountain Man behind her. She saw I wasnt trying to kill her, I was trying to save her. She whipped her head around to me eyes roving around my face for an explanation.

I'm on my knees, hand holding my bleeding stomach before black spots impeded my vision and I fall to my side, the world turning sideways. The dirt and leaves are disturbed by my sudden fall, giving me a view of the horses hooves.

I smile distantly. I loved horses, they were amazing creatures. I never thought I'd be able to see one before I died.

Before that thought could end I hear an anguished scream and suddenly Anya is there holding my head up.

"Clarke? Clarke! No,no. No Clarke. Your fight isnt over yet." cries Anya.

I smile and touch her face, there was water on her cheeks. She was crying.

"Such a drama queen. Can't you let me die in peace." I try to say lightly. A cough racks my body, more blood seeping from my throat and clogging my mouth. It tasted like metal. I cringe, not liking the twangs of pain I'm getting from my chest.

"No. Clarke no. Commander, please. Get a healer. This is the Witness! Please." begs Anya.

Apparently Anya didnt come alone. Charlotte is there too, horror on her face as she cautiously comes close. I distantly remember asking Anya to look after her today.

Tears come from Charlotte as she sees the big knife sticking out from my body.

"Mom?"said Charlotte. I raise my hand, frowning at how much effort it takes to do that now.

"Charlotte." I whisper. She drops down to the ground, taking hold of my hand.

"Mommy." cries Charlotte. The girl had taken to calling me that after I took her in. The sound of it use to warm me but in this moment it just breaks my heart.

"Its going to be okay kid. . . May we meet again." I say as strong as I can.

Anya looks around desperately for the healer Lexa ordered. He wasn't here. And I knew deep inside he wouldn't get here in time.

Charlotte shakes her head side to side not wanting to believe this was happening.

"This isn't happening. Its just a nightmare. I'm going to wake up and you'll be fine." says Charlotte.

I smile sadly and caress her small face, smoothing back a small braid behind her ear.

"Life's a nightmare, Charlotte. Its better to face it head on." I say. The Commander orders the young grounder to be binded and taken to Anya's village for punishment. She didnt order him to act, he just foolishly did it because he was a kid.

I shake my head sadly and turn to Anya. "Promise me something." I ask.

Anya's face tries to mask her pain. She knows I'm going to die. Despite her trying to look indifferent she whispers, "Anything."

I reach over, my hand mostly sliding to her hand. I grip it as hard as I can and say "Dont kill him."

Anger and grief pulls at Anya's face against her will. "But he did this."

I grip her hand harder and say "No. He's just a child thinking he was protecting his leader. Dont kill him. For me."

Tears drop from her eyes as she drops her head in defeat.

"As you wish. . . And what do I tell your people?" she asks desperately.

I smile, not feeling the pain anymore. "Tell them to listen to Bellamy and to behave. To remember what I taught them and at least try to work at peace between everyone." My voice is growing fainter by the minute and I'm not even trying to hold my head up.

The blood from my wound is seeping into my shirt making it uncomfortable. A few minutes pass in silence until even that feeling passes.

Nyko drops down from his horse cautiously coming up the grounders looking sadly at me.

"Witness. You are looking unwell." he says smiling sadly at me, trying for a joke. I blink slowly and croak "Ha ha."

He shakes his head at the Commander who looked almost angry. I knew she was angry I had been taken before she could interrogate me. Now she'll never know. Inwardly I say, Now she'll never know me.

She glances at me feeling my stare. I smile sadly and break off the stare down to look at the sky.

It was twilight letting a few stars sparkle above me. I sigh and say "Yu gonplei ste odon."

I close my eyes feeling very sleepy.


* I changed Clarke's nickname to "Witness" instead of "Sky Princess", because I was honestly getting sick of that name.
