'You don't need to do this' Kane said in a pleading voice as Abby packed medical supplies in to boxes inside one of the store rooms almost ready for her group to leave Arkaida for how long he didn't know in fact part of him wondered if she would ever come back and her leaving today wasn't a forever kind of thing.
'Yes I do Kane' Abby said in a detached voice not stopping packing the boxes not even looking up at him.
'Abby you should stay' Kane begged 'people need you here I need you'.
'What about what I need Marcuse' Abby said stopping now and looking up at him her eyes filling with tears.
'Ok' he said frowning 'I see what you're saying but how is this going to help you Abby'.
'Because being here reminds me of her' she said tears falling silently down her cheeks 'it reminds me off all the ways I fail her Marcuse and I don't want to, I can't face that right now'.
'Ok but Abby' Kane began.
'You know Marcos it's ironic' Abby said almost laughing cutting across him.
'What is' he said taken aback by this feeling confused.
'Clarke final got what she wanted, peace all she had to was die' she sobbed Kane just stood there now in shocked silence not sure what to say in response to this using this as an opportunity Abby almost ran out the door leaving Kane standing there not knowing what to do he wanted so badly to run after her but he just didn't know if it would be right if he did.
present day
In a slightly larger coastal village Abby shat in the local bar staring up at the sealing feeling buzzed from the liker she had been drinking, Jackson her and the rest of her little group were going to be moving on tomorrow so she knew she should go get some sleep but she just couldn't quit work up the will to move. Just as Abby was debating perhaps radioing Jackson to come get her he had started insisting that she keep her radio on her at all times resonantly a voice asked he didn't say it but she knew he was worried she would do something stupid a voice asked 'are you Abby griffin' looking up Abby saw a youngish looking grounder standing in front of her.
'Yes' Abby said pulling herself upright smiling weakly 'can I help you'.
'Well' the grounder said looking embarrassed 'I was hoping you could'.
'Tell you about my daughter' Abby said finishing his sentence rolling her eyes this sort of thing had happened a lot of the last few months.
'Well' he said drawing out the words 'yea'.
'Sight down' Abby said sighing 'ask whatever you want to ask'.
'Well' he said sighting down beside her 'what was she like as a child could you tell she was going to be a worrier'.
'Could I tell she was going to be a worrier' Abby laughed it wasn't the first time she had been asked this question since she had hit the road but the absurdity it still got to her could she tell Clarke was going to be a worrier that sweet caring little girl she had been on the ark that wanted to be a doctor like her a worrier 'no' Abby said finally frowning.
'Really' the grounder said nodding 'I would have thought you would be able to tell'.
'She was very different when she was younger' Abby sighed trying not to think about those memory's too much.
'Really' he said smiling 'were they all different'.
'Who do you mean' Abby asked not sure who he was asking about.
'The others who were first to come down from the sky like' he paused here clearly trying to remember a name 'her second errrm the inside man' he continued looking upwards biting his lip in concentration.
'Bellamy Blake' Abby said sighing 'I don't know I didn't know him or any of the others before really never did she him and Clarke only met when they came down here I don't know what he was like before'.
'Wow' the grounder said clearly surprised 'I would have thought him and wandeda went way back'.
Abby smiled a little at this Clarke had defiantly found a lot when she came down to earth 'look' she said leaning forward gesturing to the grounder for his name.
'Dembi' he said smiling.
'Dembi' Abby nodded 'look Bellamy and Clarke had known each other for just over a year when she died but sometimes you can meet her person who you just fit with' she stopped here realising she didn't actually know anything more than this she didn't know what things were like between her daughter and what she didn't even know that Bellamy had clearly loved Clarke but she had no idea what her feels were like for him. 'I'm sorry dembi' she murmured quickly getting up wobbling slightly and rushing out of the bar needing to get away once outside she let the cold night air bite in to her letting the tears run down her face 'I'm sorry' she said under her breath 'I'm so sorry Clarke' after a minute of this she took in a deep breath and started walking in the direction of the building they were staying at.
As she walked moving from side to side as she did Abby saw a figure walking towards her she couldn't quit make them out but she could see that they were dressed in some kind of black lever get up as the figure got close she opened her mouth to make a drunken remark about what they were wearing but then she saw the figures face. 'Clarke' she gasped feeling her world shatter wondering if she had gone crazy tonight at some point and not realised it or maybe if she had somehow died 'how is this possible' she said staggering to a halt 'I was told they said' she spluttered.
'We don't have time mum' Clarke said quickly urgency in her voice 'you need to get out of here take Jackson and the others and head back to Arkadia as quickly as you can'.
'What Clarke' Abby said taken aback 'I thought you were dead we all thought you were dead I'm not going anywhere' she frowned shaking her head 'what on earth happened to you'.
'Mum we don't have time' Clarke almost shouted frustrated 'she's already tried to kill Bellamy and Lexa twice now she's coming after you'.
'Who's coming after me' Abby asked automatically thinking about the army of light she had heard talked about in the villages and towns.
Clarke opened her mouth to answer but all of a sudden she doubled over in pain 'not now' she pleaded scrunching her eyes shoot concentrating on something Abby didn't know what 'please not now'.
'Clarke what is it, what's wrong' Abby said scared grabbing hold of her arm pulling up trying to see what was happening.
'It doesn't matter' Clarke shouted pushing her away taking a few steps backwards 'Mum if you ever see me again I want you to run just run get away from me' Clarke doubled over again now and through up some kind of black liquid.
'Clarke' Abby almost screamed moving forward but then stopped as Clarke looked up and Abby saw the look in her eye 'Clarke' she said again backing away instinctively.
'I've been looking for you' she said in a cold different voice now straightening herself upright.
'Clarke' Abby said again stepping away instinctively but not really knowing why.
'Come here' Clarke snarled all of a sudden lunging at Abby.
But she slipped out of grip looking down at her arm shocked at her Abby saw where Clarke's hand had made contact with her coat there were now several black streaks on the fabric 'what did you do Clarke' she said taken aback quickly taking of her jacket as the fabric began to smoke burring somehow.
Before she could answer there was a loud explosion on the outskirts of the village the burst of red an orange flames distracted Clarke in that moment and as her head turned Abby was shocked to see Jackson pulling at her appearing seemingly out of nowhere 'we need to get out of her' he whispered urgently 'the army of light is here'.
Turning back a moment latter Alie saw Jackson dragging a reluctant Abby away towards the waiting jeep in the distance she moved to follow them but her legs didn't respond 'no' she hissed 'you're not in control I am' but her legs still refused to respond only moving when the jeep was speeding away 'your only delaying me Clarke' she said with venom in her voice seemingly talking to no one 'your mouther will die and we will see how strong you are then'.
Frowning Bellamy stared at the empty seats across from him seating on the sky crew ambassador seat why'll Lexa tried to stop the ice nation and tree crew ambassador arguing only about half the coalition actually had ambassador in Polic at the minute Talia running off had meant exactly what Lexa had said it would mean. In the past week the coalition had started to fracture in fighting starting up between different clans and those were just the ones who still had leaders serval clans were in practical civil war now 'I want to hear from the sky crew ambassador' a voice called all of a sudden breaking Bellamy out of his train of thought.
'Excuse me' he said looking up at the ice nation ambassador who was addressing him.
'The commander tells us that Wonheda is behind these attacks behind the army of light are we supposed to believe your clan knows nothing' the man spat stepping in his direction.
'Our leader almost died at the bombing I'm only ambassador now because the last guy did die' Bellamy shouted standing up 'they tried to kill me as well are you really accusing us'.
'Well we all know what things where like for you in relation to wonheda' the man said in a cutting voice 'and you ticket Ontari how do we know you're not fooling us the way you fooled her'.
Bellamy moved towards the ambassador now rage rising inside him but he found Lexa blocking his way 'sight down Bellamy' she snarled glaring at him.
Gritting his teeth in anger he looked down at Lexa's determined face he could get past her if he wanted to and, but what then he thought 'fine' he almost growled after a few minutes deciding to take the high road stepping backwards.
'Then again' the ambassador smiled sarcastically 'maybe you have her now I did wonder why the commander keeps you around you two help each other in those long nights do you'.
It was Lexa that moved now pulling her sword out if a flash and sinking in the man's gut 'anyone else want to insult me' she yelled looking around the room pulling out her sword and letting the man's body fall to the floor.
No one spoke no one dared everyone in the room looking anywhere but in too Lexa's murderous face 'Heda' Titus said softly after a few minutes stepping forward laying a hand on her shoulder.
Turning Lexa looked up in to his eyes and then down at her blood covered sword you shouldn't have done that she thought to herself her eyes crossed now to Bellamy's shocked face even he thinks that was a mistake she thought biting her tong 'dismissed' she said under her breath and then headed quickly towards the door.
Bellamy moved to follow Lexa but as she opened the door and left the room fallowed by Titus Echo moved in front of him blocking him from following them 'out of my way' he snapped he had known Roan had sent her with the ice nation delegation but he had no desire to talk to her.
'Bellamy we need to talk' she said in a serious tone.
'I'm not in the mood Echo now move' he said trying to push past her but she just pushed back.
'Fine what' he almost snarled pulling her to one side as the other ambassadors filed out the room.
'What exactly is your problem Bellamy' Echo shouted 'never me or Roan had anything to do with what Ontari did you know that, she got the support she had from the former queens loyalists'.
'Like you would have cared if she had won the war' Bellamy spat 'and Echo I haven't forgotten that you'.
'Really Bellamy' cut across him glaring at him 'I'm sorry about that girl but you and I both know she wasn't the girl you would have saved if it had been a choice'.
'You said you wanted to talk' Bellamy practically growled.
'We've been having some problems' Echo sighed 'we think it might be the army of light'.
'What's wrong' Bellamy said sighing himself now closing his eyes trying his best to rain in his temper.
'Warriors have been going missing' Echo said in a serious tone 'good ones loyal men who wouldn't be taken easy we think the army is taking them'.
'Forgive me for being blunt here' Bellamy said opening his eyes frowning 'but what do you want Lexa or for that matter me to do about it you know we are trying to deal with all the problems the army of light is causing'.
'Well a little special attention would be nice' Echo frowned 'also if you are fighting back against the army of light this is an opportunity to do just that Bellamy'.
'I'll talk to Lexa about it Echo' Bellamy sighed frowning know she was right but not wanting to admit that moving to turn around and walk after Lexa and Titus.
'You know Bellamy Maxwell really didn't go about it in the right way' Echo said calmly 'but can I ask is there anything go on between you two'.
'No' Bellamy snapped flipping back around 'we still hate each other Echo we just also respect each other now as well'.
'OK' Echo said seemingly accepting this.
'Also it is worth reminding you she's in to girls' Bellamy said snidely gritting his teeth.
'Well I guess that's one thing you have in common' Echo said flippantly smiling.
'You're a real bitch Echo' Bellamy said turning around and walking out the door.
'Love you to' Echo called after him laughing.
'Well that went well' Bellamy said a few minutes later finding Lexa and Titus alone in a room down the hall.
'Show your commander some respect' Titus shouted as he walked in and shut the doors behind him.
'Screw you Titus' Bellamy spat back 'she just killed that guy'.
'Had to be done Bellamy' Lexa said calmly 'I couldn't let a challenge like that go unanswered'.
'Sure I guess' Bellamy shrugged 'but did you really need to kill him' Lexa paused here and Bellamy could tell she thought he was right 'I just had a chat with Echo' he said quickly changing the subject in spite of certain parts of himself he had no desire to rub it in.
'What did she say' Lexa asked quietly.
'Apparently a bunch of warriors have been disappearing in the ice nation her and Roan think it's the army of light there asking for our help' Bellamy said calmly.
'You said our' Lexa said questioningly cocking her head to one side.
'Yea I know I did' he said closing his eyes feeling embarrassed 'can we just call it a slip of the tong please'.
'OK' Lexa said smiling slightly 'but you are an ambassador and one of my warriors so I think our is the right word to use'.
'Heda' Titus said meaningfully stepping in now 'what about the ice nation we can't'.
'I don't know' Lexa said cutting across him turning away from both him and Bellamy and walking a few paces away clearly trying to think.
Looking out one of the rooms windows she thought about the things Murphy had said once they had got back to Polic that as he understood it Alie had probably implanted herself in to Clarke so she could have a body when she had asked what that meant for Clarke he had been unable to tell her anything what he knew about this was by his own admission limited. This new kind of not knowing when it came to Clarke would have been bad enough but over the last few nights the commanders had been telling her in her dreams the thing she didn't want to believe was true that Clarke was dead her body might still be alive but the real Clarke was gone and she had to kill this demon that was walking around in her body.
Sighing she turned back to the others both men staring at her expectantly 'I still have no idea what the right call here is' she scowled you do you just need to have someone else tell you what it is a little voice in her head said 'Bellamy' Lexa said loudly turning his direction shaking her head slightly trying not to think about having to killing Clarke.
'Yes' Bellamy said politely actually smiling which was usual for him.
Lexa sighed trying to think 'you said you were lousing people how many guys would you say you have left'.
'About a hundred' Bellamy frowned 'and if you want to know back at Arkadia in terms of guards probably about that again'.
'Heda if you are looking for forces for some kind of engagement' Titus said quickly 'I would counsel against that there aren't many other crew we can rely on to support us right now besides skycrew treecrew and ice nation an treecrew is not as' he began eyeing Bellamy.
'Seriously' Bellamy cut in 'your bring that up'.
'Well it's true' Titus said defiantly 'if not for you'.
'We wouldn't have defeated Ontari' Lexa said loudly not wanting to get in to this again 'and Titus I wasn't asking because I want to go on some ill-conceived campaign we don't even know where the army of light is I was asking because I want to go to Arkadia and it would make more sense if I travel with Bellamy's people'.
'O OK' Bellamy said sounding surprised 'that's fine Lexa we can do that but can I ask why you want to go to Arkadia'.
'Yes Heda' Titus said looking at her confused 'why do you want to go to Arkadia'.
'I need to have something confirmed for me if I'm going to do it' she said with a slight quiver in her voice.
