Disclaimer: Nope don't own nothing (poor English there)

Clarke was pacing now. Her nerves settling in as the time increased, Octavia and Raven were taking too long. She must have voiced her fears because Lexa answered her.

"It takes as long as it takes"

She nodded grimly and moved to stand next to her, "Clarke… The alliance will hold after today, I promise you that"

"How can you promise that?"

She searched behind the black war paint, trying to find the girl she had kissed not a few hours ago, war seemed to create a split personality within Lexa.

"We want the same thing; peace. We only kill in war because we have to but the fall of the mountain means that we will be at peace. I can promise you that Clarke"

Clarke smiled weakly, "Thank you"

Lexa was about to say something else when shots sounded in the night air. Clarke went rigid and her head whipped around to find the source of the noise whilst Lexa's hand went instinctively to her sword. Monroe appeared at Clarke's shoulder.

"It's coming from the Dam" She spoke hurriedly, her eyes scanning the mountain for a threat.

Clarke sucked in a breath, "They know we're going for the power"

Lexa shook her head, "They know we're going for the door"

She turned to the men behind her and cried out to them, "Get ready!"

A cheer erupted from behind them.

"Are you done yet Reyes?"

Raven cracked her neck as she made the last few adjustments to the system, "Give me a few more moments okay Octavia?"

A loud bang sounded from behind them as the mountain men attempted to break through the door they had barricaded.

Octavia reached for her sword and moved to defend Raven from her position on the ground, "We don't have a few more minutes Raven"

"Okay I'm done" She turned and helped her to stand just as five men burst into the room and screamed, "Don't move"

Octavia pushed Raven behind the canister, "Get down!"

She dived down to the ground next to her just as a round of bullets ricocheted around them. Raven held her head until the rounds stopped and she looked round to find the men all just a few metres away next to the generators.

Octavia pulled out her sword and gave her a look, "You have to set them off"

Raven shook her head, "No, we're too close"

She nodded, "I'm going to circle round. Don't get shot Reyes, that's a habit you need to break" and with that she dove out from behind their cover to circle round where the mountain men couldn't see her.

Raven pulled her bag onto her back and lifted the switch in her hand. She could see the door straight ahead but if she made a run for it now five rounds of bullets would take her out. She would just have to trust Octavia.

The sound of the first man dying was silent apart from the crunch as her hit the ground. She turned the corner and watched as Octavia slid down and took down the second man out by the legs. The third attempted to shoot her but missed each time; she sliced him at the neck. The last three turned back to take her out but she ducked down just in time.

Now they were aimed at Octavia whilst Raven was left open. She could run for it but that meant leaving Octavia and Raven wasn't about to consider doing that. She raised her hand gun and aimed with two hands. She hit two of the men dead on but missed the third just as she diving back behind cover. The scream that ripped through the air a moment later sounded his death and Octavia helped her up, pointing to the door.

"We need to go"

Raven nodded and they were a few steps from the door when- "Don't move!"

Octavia screeched to a halt and pulled Raven with her. They turned slowly to find three guns pointing at her, "Don't move" he repeated.

Octavia leaned over slightly as they both raised their hands, "Are we far enough away now?"

Raven gulped and looked at Octavia's steady gaze, "Let's find out"

She pressed the button.

Clarke watched with relief as the lights flickered out. Her and Lexa shared a laugh as they stared at the door.

Monroe called them back to their senses, "One minute. Clarke press it now!"

Clarke turned to Lexa, "For those we have lost"

Lexa placed her hand on Clarke's, her hands were comfortably warm, "And those we shall soon find"

They pressed down together. But nothing happened. Clarke pushed it down several times again.

"It isn't working. Why isn't it working?" Lexa screeched.

Clarke's eyes scanned the perimeter and thought back to the Ark…, "They're jamming us"

She moved round from the rock, "I need to get closer"

Suddenly shots were fired from up ahead and Clarke Felt Lexa's arms surround her and tug her back. Her eyes were closed and she felt the heat from the commander's body above hers.

"Thirty seconds!" Monroe screeched in horror.

Lexa grunted and pulled an arrow from a nearby warrior. She leant out slightly from their cover and fired. It hit directly and the small explosions alerted them to the opening of the door.

"It worked!" Lexa grinned at her but another wave of bullets pushed them back again.

Monroe went to leave, "Someone has to take out the shooters"

Lexa pulled her back to Clarke, "No! Stay with Clarke and I'll go" She turned to Clarke and smiled reassuringly before taking off, dodging bullets, and followed by a select few.

Clarke sighed and threw her head back. They would have to wait again, "Everyone get down!" She cried out not wanting to lose another life if she could help it.

XoXoXoX

Octavia was brought to her senses by the coughing sounding to her right. At first she thought the explosion had caused her to go blind but then she realised the lights were completely out. Something heavy was holding her chest down and she didn't need to see to know how bad the damage was. The ceiling above them had caved in along with the support beams and walls. They were completely caved.

A light flickered to her left and she realised that some lights were still connected. If they were turning on now then the back-up power must be on. Octavia just hopes that Clarke got that door open.

It took some manoeuvring but she finally managed to pry herself from under the concrete slab that had landed above her. Pulling herself up she balanced on a pile of rubble looking around for any possible surviving mountain men.

She counted three dead from the limbs lying around before the coughing became more frantic. Fearful that it was Raven, Octavia pulled herself over the rubble and stopped as a man appeared. He wasn't wearing a suite. He had received the treatment.

His movements showed an injury but it didn't stop him from pulling the body along the ground. Raven. Octavia growled and reached for her sword only to find that it was gone. Leaning down she felt the knife that was still hidden in her boot.

She jumped down from the rubble and tackled the man away from the unconscious Raven. He was so dazed that he didn't have any time to react before the knife was at his throat.

"Please" He whimpered uselessly, "Please don't kill me"

Octavia hesitated and couldn't stop the smile from spreading across her face. Through the dust and the blood trickling down from her head she must have looked demonic. He seemed to agree as a horrified expression crossed his features.

"You're crazy!" He cried, attempting to push her off but she didn't budge.

She pushed the knife down just enough to draw blood, "No. I'm not the one drilling into kids for the sake of going outside"

He opened his mouth to reply but she silenced his with another push, "How many kids do you think pleaded for their lives just so you could touch grass?"

He was crying now. The tears pouring down and Octavia couldn't help but spit at him. They had tortured her friends, killed them, turned grounders into reapers and used them as medicine for too long.

"You think somehow your life is worth more than theirs?" She grit her teeth in ager and his eyes grew as the knife pushed further down into his neck.

"Please..." He whimpered uselessly.

Anger flared through her but it evaporated as Raven's voice spoke softly from behind her, "Octavia"

She flicked the knife across his throat. A quick death. She moved next to Raven and tried to ignore the blood spilt across her body. His somehow stood out significantly to her against her own.

Octavia watched as Raven gripped her leg and she looked down to see the remnants of the brace still barely holding on, "Can you walk?"

Raven made a noise and kicked the ground angrily before shaking her head, "No"

Clarke watched as the guns stopped above the door and relief flooded through her as Monroe whispered, "She did it" Next to her.

Clarke nodded but she knew they weren't done yet and they had to get that door open whether Lexa joined them again or not. She nodded her head to the generals behind her and they shouted orders. A moment later six grounders came forward and attached the ropes to the door's weak points.

Clarke observed but they really didn't need her help at this point. The grounders were fuelled with anger as the prepared to pull. She gave the order and watched in anticipation.

At first nothing happened but then the door started to give and her and Monroe were running forward yelling at them to keep going. Clarke turned to the gunners behind her, "Keep your eyes trained on that door. I don't doubt they have an army waiting for us"

They nodded and raised their guns ready for the attack. Clarke turned back and felt elation run through her as the door began to open. This was actually working.

Turning to the hoard behind her she gave the final order, "Attack!" She cried, raising her gun.

The grounders roared in and were mid charge when a voice broke through.

The attack halted and a few cries of "Heda!" gave away the source of the voice. Lexa broke through the crowed a moment later accompanied by the grounders that had followed and two mountain men who were still armed. There was one either side of Lexa.

"What's going on?"

Clarke came face to face with her. Blood splattered her clothes and face. None of it seemed to be her own apart from a small gash under her left eye. Dirt and grime smeared away her war paint and Clarke wondered if she had been forced to the ground.

Lexa didn't reply but a moment later the door opened fully and people started to stumble out. A few were draped in orange blankets and in some cases it took two people to support them. They seemed tired and drained but otherwise unharmed. Clarke turned back to Lexa not sure what was happening.

"They're retreating?"

One of the men that Clarke recognised as Emerson smirked, "Not quite. Your commander's made a deal"

Neither was wearing suites and that didn't sit right with Clarke. Lexa wouldn't let them live.

The commander at least had the decency to look sombre and Clarke soon caught on as to why. Only Lexa's people were leaving the mountain.

"Where are my people?"

Lexa raised her head as she did every time she was trying to push back her emotions, "I'm sorry Clarke. They weren't part of the deal"

Monroe reached Clarke and looked between the leaders who were watching each other intently, "What's happening?"

"The commander's made a deal" Clarke repeated with an emotionless voice.

Monroe scrunched her nose, "What about our people?"

"They'll die" Clarke said simply and a flash crossed Lexa's face, "But you don't care about that do you"

"I do care Clarke" Her voice wavered ever so slightly, "But my people come first and I made this decision with my head and not my heart"

Nothing. It was all for nothing. Clarke was drowning in blood and Lexa had promised her retribution but here she was throwing it back in her face.

A tear ghost her face and she shook her face to stop the fall. She had put it off for so long and if she started now she didn't know if she would ever stop. Lexa wasn't bothering to hide it anymore and the guilt was there for all to see but that didn't matter because her choice had been made.

"Come then commander"

Clarke looked to Emerson and noticed for the first time why him and the other man weren't tied up. Lexa was.

Clarke's eyes widened and she looked to Lexa who shook her head, "This is the price I pay for my people Clarke"

"No!" She moved forward but the second guard raised his gun.

Emerson grinned again, "The deal's been made Clarke"

With that he turned to lead the commander inside just as the last of the grounders filed out. One girl looked up just in time to see Lexa.

They both halted and stared at each other eyes wide.

Lexa opened her mouth to say something but Emerson shoved her inside before she could do anything. The girl moved to chase after but the door was closed quickly and she ended up slamming against it. Her anger was apparent as she continued to thrash and kick the door but to no avail.

Clarke raced forward and pulled her away before she seriously injured herself. The girl still fought against her and Clarke had to grip her tight until she calmed down.

"Stop, you won't get through"

The girl spun round. Her mattered hair fell over her and suddenly Clarke became painfully aware of how little clothing she had on.

She looked Clarke up and down, "Who are you?"

"Clarke… of the sky people"

Recognition flashed across her face and Clarke was reminded of another grounder's approach to emotions, "You know Bellamy?"

Clarke nodded, "He got you out?"

"Yes but then the mountain men came and threatened to kill us unless we complied"

She smiled grimly, "Bellamy was not there to help us"

"What's your name?"

"Echo" the girl replied and she turned back to the door as if it might now open.

Clarke frowned, "How do you know the commander? Lexa?"

The girl scoffed and folded her arms in such a way that Clarke knew the answer before she spoke it, "She is my sister"

XoXoXoX

Octavia and Raven only made it a few steps before the sound of hurried footsteps and loaded guns could be heard. Raven dropped to the ground and seemed to whimper. She knelt down next to her and watched the tough exterior fall as she gave into her fear.

Their eyes met for a moment as Octavia gripped the knife tighter. The footsteps were fast and closing in around them. She could still leave.

Raven seemed to be thinking the same thing as she looked up at her, "Please don't leave me" She breathed out through sobs.

Octavia knew in that moment that she never would. So instead of making for the door she sat and pulled Raven into a tight hug and kissed the top of her head, "I will never leave you Reyes"

Raven held her tightly, "Thank you Pocahontas"

Octavia only had time to let one tear fall before the door opened to a hoard of guards storming in with guns raised and pointing at them. She just held Raven tighter.

XoXoXoX

Clarke stood alone looking up at the mountain.

I believe, I believe there's love in you
Grid locked on the dusty avenues
Inside your heart, just afraid to go
I am more, I am more than innocent
But just take a chance and let me in
And I'll show you ways that you don't know

Echo walked slowly back with her people. She gave in and let the tears fall. She let them fall and soon the flood came. Clarke refused to leave, Bellamy was still there and Lexa… she didn't want to imagine what was happening to her.

Don't complicate it,
Don't let the past dictate
Yeah,
I have been patient, but slowly I'm losing faith

Abbey was pacing. The door should have opened by now. There had been no word from anyone; not even Clarke had made to contact her.

She looked to Kane who was leaning against the tunnel wall for support. His wounds were becoming irritated.

So please, I know you baby
I know you baby
So please, I know you baby
I know you baby

Suddenly the door opened and in the expectation of seeing Bellamy not one of them raised their guns. Abbey was helpless against the hands that dragged her inside.

I believe, I believe you could love me
But you're lost on the road to misery
And what I gave to you
I could never get back!
Don't complicate it,
Don't drive yourself insane
Yeah,
Say what you will but I know that you want to stay!

Lexa was dragged limp through the corridor before being thrown into the empty chair. Her head was knocked back by the blow that came from the nearest guard.

So please, I know you baby
I know you baby
So please, I know you baby
I know you baby

Cage walked in slowly holding the needle with the red liquid inside. Lexa instinctively moved back as he knelt down in front her. He smiled at her before injecting her neck.

Chemicals rushing in,
I know it's you that I belong to
I'm burning like a cannonball in the air
Crashing into who I belong to
Uh uh, uuuuh uuuuh uh

Octavia held Raven tighter. Her tears falling thick and fast as her mouth opened in a silent scream. Her grip only tightened as the hands around them pulled and threatened to tear them apart.

I have been patient, but slowly I'm losing faith

Please, I know you baby
I know you baby
So please, I know you baby
I know you baby

Clarke's body gave out as her knees collapsed against the ground. She looked up at the silent mountain that loomed over her. Suddenly everything seemed so much further away… Lexa seemed so much further away. She was tired…

Oh god was she tired…

So please, I know you baby
(The shadows of your heart are hanging in the sweet, sweet air)
I know you baby
(I know you baby)
So please, I know you baby
(The secrets that you hide, control us and it's just not fair)
I know you baby

Octavia was screaming. It took five of them to pull her away from Raven. Two guards were lifting her from the ground in her dazed state as she looked to Octavia. Her arms were reaching as she attempted to get away from the arms holding her. Just seeing Raven reaching out for her caused another anguished cry to escape her mouth as she finally collapsed against the men pulling her. Pulling her away. Seperating them...

The shadows of your heart are hanging in the sweet, sweet air
I know you baby
The secrets that you hide, control us and it's just not fair
I know you baby

Clarke looked up and closed her eyes as a single tear dripped down her face.

"It can't be over"

I apologise for nothing… Just don't hit me yeah?

The lyrics are Skyler Grey – I know you

Incidentally the name of this fic :)
