Double Bad News

After a while like that, both Clarke and Abby pulled back from the hug and went around checking on the patients again to make sure that they took care of everyone and luckily, everything was fine. They were still in MedBay after a couple of hours had passed since they had received word of the attack when Raven and Bellamy came towards Clarke who was watching her mom work along with Jackson. "How is everyone holding up here? How many did we lose?" Bellamy asked the blonde who sighed before answering them.

"We lost one of the critical ones and a funeral needs to be prepared for him but the rest are okay, more or less. What about on your end?" Clarke asked them.

"Well, those who saw the state they were in were discreetly told that a new group has come out of the shadows and attacked out teams but that it was not the grounders so the words has been spreads and question on who this new group is and if they will be attacking camp is the only doubts they have so you're welcome." Raven said to her in her way and Clarke smiled.

"Thank you very much, Raven. We don't need the people thinking it was the grounders and reprising Pike's xenophobic tendencies." Clarke said to her and Raven nodded.

"And on your end? Is security covered?" Clarke asked Bellamy who nodded his head at her.

"I did what you asked. There are two guards on each clock point and two more ready to take over when the first ones are tired. The no shooting unless attacked order has been expressed emphatically by Raven," He said, "We can't leave to chance with how well things turned out in the past, can we?" The girl said before he continued, "and we have our weapons ready just in case they decide to attack our camp. Anything else, we are waiting on your orders." Bellamy explained to her and Clarke nodded at him.

"Thanks." She said and he nodded, "First, we need to talk to my mom and with Kane as well because if this is an attack on us, the Coalition is obliged to offer aid and if it is an attack on all of us than all the clans are in danger and they need to know." Clarke said and they nodded before she turned around and called for her mom and Jackson to come to them and they did.

"What is it sweetie?" Abby asked her.

"We need to talk. Jackson, can you hold this place alone for a while? I need to steal my Mom for a few minutes." Clarke asked the guy who nodded.

"Yes, I can. Go on." He said to them and she nodded.

"Come on Mom. We have to go." Clarke said as she pulled her mother along with her until they got to the Chancellor's office. Clarke sat down on the table with her mother sitting in front of her as Raven and Bellamy sat down by the couch, "Mom, I need you to tell us everything that happened." Clarke said gently and Abby nodded.

"Well, the Rover and the guards arrived in Polis last night, so we waited to leave today, early in the morning and there was no problem at all with any of the grounders so we left. The trip was long so I ended up falling asleep and I only remember waking up with a shake of the car as it stopped suddenly." She continued,

"When I woke up, I noticed the tension and how the guards were all holding up their weapons so I asked them what was going on and they said we were being attacked but nothing was happening, we were in the middle of a clearing in the woods but then out of nowhere the back door to the rover was opened from the side and the guards started shooting, only there was no one there so they stopped and when they did, somehow, someway the rover got flipped, turned upside down." Abby told them.

"How the hell did that happen?" Raven asked and Abby looked at the girl.

"I have absolutely no idea but once it did, these people appeared and yanked the guards out of the Rover and me as well. The guards tried to fight them but it was just like they were playing with them, having fun of our guards trying to fight them. I couldn't do anything one of them was holding me and he was too strong. So I watched as the beat up our guards and the ones that were critical condition were the one who talked back at them." Abby told them.

"And then what happened?" Bellamy asked her.

"Once they were finished with the guards, one of them came up to me and told me that he wanted me alive so that I could give the people a message." Abby said.

"What message Mom?" Clarke asked and Abby took a deep breath.

"That the Ice Nation will fall, the Coalition can either leave them to die alone or be killed along with them." She said and Clarke sighed as she looked at her friends. This was getting worse by the second. A new clan with a problem with Azgeda. Great.

"Before anything else could happen, they heard noises of horses coming as a group of Roan's guards came and went after them so they left me there and the Lieutenant radioed our people and we didn't see either group again. Roan's guard must have returned to alert him by now that whoever this clan is, they have a problem directly with their people and that they are ready for war." Abby said and Clarke nodded.

"Was that everything that happened?" Clarke asked and Abby nodded.

"Yes, everything I can remember." She said and Clarke nodded.

"Thanks Mom. You should go back to help Jackson and check on the others and then go to rest. You went through a lot today." Clarke said and Abby nodded before she stood up as Clarke did as well. She hugged her mom, "I'm glad you're okay." She said and Abby nodded.

"Me too, sweetie. Me too." She said and pulled back before leaving the room and closing the door behind her as Clarke sat back down on her chair as she sighed.

"This is another level messed up." Raven said breaking the silence and Clarke sighed as the mechanic continued, "I mean, we knew that the Ice Nation, like, took the trophy of most hated clan in the Coalition, though we gave them a run for their money on that one recently but an entire different clan, intent on going to war with them and inciting the other clans to leave them to fend for themselves, that is mad crazy." Raven said and they nodded.

"I didn't even know that there were more clans out there, did you?" Bellamy said as they looked at Clarke who shook her head.

"That is not the problem. The real problem is that once that message gets to Polis and to the Coalition, how long do you think it will take before they abandon Azgeda, the Coalition shatters and God knows what more happens after that?" Clarke said to them and they nodded, understanding what she was saying.

"Not long at all, is it?" Raven said and Clarke sighed.

"Try immediately." Clarke said before she grabbed a radio that was on the table and synchronized before speaking to it.

"Kane, it's Clarke. Can you hear me? Over." She said as she waited.

"Clarke, it's me. Is everything okay?" Kane asked her.

"Not really and they will only be getting worse." She said to him.

"What is it? Is Abby okay?" He asked her.

"She is but not the rest of the guards. Earlier today, they were attacked by what we believe is an entire different group of people. They left all the guards in a very dire condition, three in critical, we lost one. But they gave mom a message that they were coming for the Ice Nation. That the Coalition could either choose to leave them to handle themselves or die with them. Have you heard anything on that?" Clarke told him as she waited for his answer.

"No, but how sure are you that this is another clan?" He asked her.

"I'm not but Mom said that they were different, their clothes, their sygil. And she also said that a number of Roan's guard went after them. Maybe they were able to capture one. I need you to find out what Roan knows about this and if he doesn't, warn him. No one wants to see this Coalition falls, me least of all and we need him to keep in check." She warned him.

"Yes, I understand. I will go talk to him right now." Kane said and she sighed.

"Okay, we will talk later. Tell me of anything you find out." She told him and was about to shut it down when he spoke. "

Clarke, there is something I need to tell that I am guessing your mother didn't." He said and she looked at her friends, nervous with the tone he was using.

"What is it?" She asked already dreading the answer.

"I don't know how to say this in a way that it will lessen the pain you might feel so I will just go straight to the point." He said and as soon as she heard those words, Raven stood up and went to Clarke's side, ready to keep her together if it was that bad.

"The Flame had been stolen from Roan's room and he asked Octavia to go find it. He believed it was the new Flamekeeper who had stolen it. Indeed it was and Octavia found them both." He said to her as her heart started beating fast.

"So, they got it back? The Flame is safe?" Clarke asked him as she held Raven's hand.

"Unfortunately, a group of people who suffered greatly because of the chip and A.L.I.E found them and destroyed the Flame, I'm so sorry Clarke." He said to her and she didn't know how she didn't drop the radio right away, instead gripping it tighter.

"Tell me this is not true, Kane. Tell me that the last thing I have of Lexa is not gone. Kane. Tell me that the one place she is still alive in is not destroyed!" Clarke yelled at the radio.

"I'm sorry Clarke. I wish I could tell you that. I really do. I'm so sorry." Kane said apologetically but Clarke could do nothing except throw the radio hard against the wall breaking it.

"Bellamy, leave us please. Now." Raven said to him and he nodded before leaving them. He wanted to help Clarke, but he also knew that there was no need for him to be there, that she won't need him, just Raven. Clarke just broke down on the floor and Raven had to kneel down before her and take the girl in her arms as Clarke sobbed loudly so.

"It's gone, Ray. The Flame is gone. She is gone." Clarke said to her and Raven just held her, trying to offer comfort, knowing that it wouldn't help much with the pain the blonde must be feeling right now. But she didn't know another way to help her out, so she just nodded.

"I know Clarke. I'm sorry." Raven kept repeating over and over while comforting the crying girl.
