Chapter 10

Abby's Point of View

It had been three days since I saw Skye. Since she had been gone Marcus had discovered I was the one who set Bellamy and the others loose with guns. For my punishment he ordered ten strikes with the electric bats. I took my punishment without objection because given the chance to do it again I would, in a heartbeat. However I hadn't spoken to him since and seemed to be concerned.

"Abby I'm sorry I had to show that what you did wasn't acceptable." He said to me on the third night.

"Whatever Marcus." I sighed.

He didn't give up. He sat down beside me and turned my face to look at him.

"Abby please, I'm really sorry." He pleaded.

"Marcus it's ok." I replied.

"Abby I can tell you're mad at me!" He cried.

"Marcus!" I yelled in frustration.

Before he got a chance to reply there was a commotion from the gate.

"Skye!" I gasped as I raced to see what it was.

It wasn't Skye and for a few seconds I thought the guards had caught a grounder, much like they believed themselves. However as the light hit the girls face I recognised her.

"Clarke!" I whispered as I raced to her side.

"Dr Griffin its not safe, once the prisoner…" Byrnes said but I cut her off.

"She's my daughter!" I hissed as I barged passed.

As soon as I was by her side I cupped her face as tears of happiness formed in my eyes.

"Hey honey." I whispered as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Mom?" A weak voice replied.

"Yeah its me." I replied.

"I thought you were dead!" Clarke sobbed as she flung her arms around me.

I gently led her into my tent and sat her down. I tried to inspect her injuries as she clung to me.

"Clarke, are you hurt anywhere?" I asked as I tried to get a better look.

"No. Mom is anyone else here? Did they make it?" Clarke questioned.

"Yes some did." I replied.

"Skylar?" She whispered.

I didn't reply as I tried to think of what to tell her.

"Mom, is she here?" Clarke begged.

"I'm here." A voice said from the door.

I whipped around to see Skye standing there. As I tried to take in the fact that I had my two daughters in the same room for the first time Clarke bolted passed me.

"Hey little sis!" I heard her mumbled into Skye's hair.

"Hey big sis!" Skye replied as they held each other.

It was a sight I never thought I would see, a sight that brought tears to my eyes. As much as I wanted to pull them both into a hug I knew Skye would refuse it, and Clarke wouldn't be far behind. So I watched for a few minutes before I had to break them up. I needed to make sure they weren't injured.

"Clarke, Skye." I interrupted.

"Can I make sure you're not hurt?" I asked hesitantly.

"I'm not." Skye replied bluntly.

"Yes you are!" Clarke cried as she looked at Skye's bloody top.

"It's nothing!" Skye complained.

"Can I look?" I replied.

"Yes you can." Clarke answered for her.

"B-But….." Skye began to protest but a sharp look from Clarke stopped her.

I couldn't help but smile as Clarke dragged her sister over to the bed and forced her to sit. Once she was seated I went over to check her injury. She winced as I pulled up her top.

"It's deep….looks infected." I told her.

"I need to clean it, this is going to hurt." I said apologetically before I started.

I could tell she was trying not to cry as I cleaned, stitched and bandaged the wound. Clarke held her hand the entire time.

"All done, you need to take things easy though." I warned.

"Ok." Skye mumbled.

I was shocked she didn't object but I had an idea it was because of Clarke.

"Your next." I said to Clarke who had done a good job of avoiding it so far.

"Mom I'm fine." She insisted.

"Suck it up Clarke." Skye smirked from her bed.

Clarke glared at her but reluctantly she let me clean her up. She wasn't to badly injured, so it didn't take as long. Once she was finished and in her bed I took the opportunity to talk to them.

"Look I know we have a lot of issues to work out…..but I really do want us to be a family." I told them.

"Mom its not that simple." Clarke replied.

"I know but we can work on it?" I suggested.

Much to my surprise Skye answered.

"I'm up for working it out." She said.

"As long as you respect that I didn't grow up with your rules, so I won't always be following them. Oh and no more secrets." She added.

"I'm sure I can accept that." I smiled.

Skye smiled happily at my reply.

"Fine I guess I can try to….as long as you accept I'm not a kid anymore. I stopped being a kid the day you sent me down here to die." Clarke stated.

"I can try to accept that Clarke but you both need to realise that I am your mother…..raised by me or not. So I can't just stop treating you both like children." I replied.

They both nodded in agreement.

"Ok good, get some rest." I instructed.

Clarke was about to protest but I stopped her.

"Honey whatever it is, it can wait a few more hours. You both need to rest." I insisted.

Annoyed sighs came from them both but they didn't object. A few minutes later their heavy breathing filled the room and I knew they were both fast asleep.

I quietly left the tent to see if anyone else was found with Clarke and Skye. I found Marcus questioning Bellamy.

"Is Skye ok?" He questioned when he saw me.

"She's fine, she's resting." I assured him.

"But she was stabbed are you sure it wasn't poisoned?" He cried.

Dread filled me as I raced back to the tent. Marcus and Bellamy followed close behind. By the time I reached Skye's side she was burning up.

"Dammit!" I yelled.

Clarke jumped awake when she heard me.

"Hey princess." Bellamy greeted as he hugged her.

"What's wrong?" She questioned.

"The grounders poisoned Skye." Bellamy told her.

"What?" Clarke gasped as she tried to get out of bed.

"Stay there!" I ordered.

She stopped dead, clearly shocked by my strict tone.

"Marcus what do we do?" I said turning to face him.

"She needs the grounders, they have the cure." Bellamy told us.

"I will take her. While I'm there I will see if I can work out a peace agreement with them." Marcus announced.

"No, what if they kill you?" I asked.

"It's either I go or Skye dies." Marcus stated.

I knew he was right so I nodded in agreement. Marcus wasted no time in picking Skye up.

"Bellamy we need directions." Marcus said as he headed for the door.

Bellamy nodded and followed him out. Leaving Clarke and myself to worry….

Until next time ;-)
