Part IX: Doppelgänger

Luna

The room was filled with screams, she could make out Kane yelling and the teenagers on the back wall were upset at their fallen comrade, but the noise was coming from her. Her vision was blurry and red, for a long while couldn't and didn't care to discern anything about the world around her. "No!" The pain lessened significantly as the pale monster fled the room with a shout. Without his hand, the drill fell out of her leg and clattered messily to the floor. The guards around her were keening now, almost shrivelling up on the ground. Levi was at her side the instant the guards were no longer a threat.

"I am fine!" Luna groaned. "It is only my leg, see to the other wounded first," at her words Levi nodded and checked for a pulse on the young man who was torn apart earlier.

"He's dead. Yu gonplei ste odon." Levi declared to the room quietly but clearly as he gently closed the poor boy's terrified eyes. He fished the keys from the corpse of the guard that was helping them and gave the same blessing. From Luna's vantage point she saw him retrieve the keys and then unlock Kane and once he was free he turned to Luna. "There were five others in our party, I'm going to go see what became of them."

"Clarke?" Luna and Levi both turned to the bloody woman as she managed to shakily gain her footing, heavily leaning against a wall.

"Yes, Clarke is one of them," Levi said slowly. He paused for a moment to look at the collected bone marrow from the victims of the Cage administration. "Are any of you Skaikru healers?" he addressed the large room as a whole.

"I am…why do you ask?" Luna turned toward the woman she had spoken to before they were both tortured with the Maunon's tools.

Levi looked at her and the Commander's twin carefully before bending over to whisper in her ear only loud enough for both of the women to hear, "According to what Lexa told us, this torture chamber's purpose is to somehow use Skaikru's bones to cure the Maunon to the poison in the air outside." He paused for a breath, but then continued once Kane came over to the three of them, "If Octavia and my other associate were successful, then there is a Mountain girl in need of a bone treatment. She was Jasper's beloved, and you would all be screaming under their bone splintering instruments if she hadn't followed her conscience. So if you can, please give her the treatments to save her life. For Jasper." Luna's eyes widened at the care her old was taking to plead this Maunon child's case… though she quickly realised her hatred for the one girl was a reaction to the fact her right leg was temporarily useless.

Kane looked to Abby with pleading eyes, strange for a leader, and Abby met them for a few solid moments before nodding. "Levi, get me to Maeve. I smelled her earlier, and it would make sense that Lexa send her as well." She paused for a moment before asking, "Bianca, she is here as well, no?" Levi nodded.

"She is with Clarke and a couple others." Levi nodded as he helped the Commander's twin to her feet and they along with Abbey made their way to the corridor.

Clarke

All of them were dead. Her three conspirators walked beside her like ghosts, the four of them filling the width of the hallway as they stepped over hundreds of corpses, making their way to their way back to their people. Bianca stopped for a moment, causing Clarke to turn back towards her. Bianca looked at the sea of corpses surrounding them blankly, and then huffed and looked into Clarke's eyes and broke her heart in one concise sentence, "Lexa has a twin sister called Luna. Luna is the one inside the mountain, in the drilling room, not the girl you know."

"Wha-?" What, no. Of course that was Lexa… "What do you mean?" Clarke said, her voice rasping slightly.

Bianca stepped up to the shorter girl and put her hands lightly on her shoulders, "Lexa is probably in TonDC right now overseeing the re-integration of her captured people. She sent Maeve, Levi, and myself specifically because she couldn't be here beside you. Because her Duty of Care is not to you right now, but her people. The girl who looks like Lexa is her identical twin, who is the leader of the Boat People. Her name is Luna and the pair of you have never met." Clarke took a shaky breath after a few moments. Bellamy and Monty were both gazing at the assorted corpses most of whom clearly died alone. However, there were children and their parents were clinging to them even in death.

"Let's go get our people." Clarke commanded, her tears from a few minutes before were gone; in their place was what Bianca could only describe as a storm. "Bellamy, go find Octavia and Maeve, and help them with Maya, I'm going to go to the others with Bianca and Monty," she said, laying a comforting arm around Monty's shoulder and wiped away his tears with her other hand.

After he gave her a short nod he said, "I, I should go to Maya, and tell her that…that Jasper's d-dead." Clarke considered him a moment, connecting eyes with Bellamy for a moment before he nodded. The two boys set off down the corridor, Bellamy calling out Octavia's name. Clarke looked at Bianca carefully, "You were smart," she said calmly, "to not reveal Luna's identity to me. I suppose I gave myself a way a little bit in pulling that lever, killing all of these…children," she almost spat, tears returning to her eyes.

"Clarke. There's something else you should know." Clarke looked up at Bianca, eyes narrowed, bracing for more terrible revelations, but was shell-shocked when Bianca's eyes also had tears in them, "Luna and Lexa. They are mine. They are my baby sisters. That's why I was going to pull the leaver in your stead, for my family."

Author's Note: It's been a rough couple of weeks, and this is shorter than you guys deserve, but there'll hopefully be more this week. Stay Strong... and also review...please?
