Sorry in advance for the faults , my Beta Reader is too busy to help me. If a Beta Reader read this story and has time to help correct it , i will be really thankful. To strangeJenny, Clarke and Bellamy are friends like they were in the serie, it didn't change, and Murphy , well i like this character and i think he respect strength, he could have change with true friends. To Bella0018, thanks for your idea, i write a little 'talk' between Finn and Amyla^^
During their walk Finn approached them, Clarke let him come close to her , she was keeping an eye on him, making sure he would not go on another homicidal rampage. She already knew Amyla would not do anything to him, part because she respected Clarke but more importantly, she did not want to deprive her people of their justice. Clarke was torn about that, she knew he had to pay for what he has done but thinking of him being tortured was making her sick; unfortunately, she knew they would have to take a decision soon. Amyla had been very clear , if she wanted to have at least a temporary truce , the Grounders will want justice , " blood must have blood ", if not it was war , most of the sky people will be killed , while some will be taken as slaves and her friends will remain as 'guests' at Mount weather.
Clarke already knew she did not have a choice but it was hard to accept, she will try to plead his case, it was the least she could do for him and maybe the commander will be merciful if she had something to offer for an alliance, which she still didn't have but she will find something, she had to!
Finally, successful in convincing herself with her disillusions, she should know how merciful the Grounders really are with her wife and kids 'merciful' teaching, she was able to walk more lightly, beginning to daydream about what her life could be with her wife and the girls once they had freed her friends and Amyla's people, the house they would have, how she will heal people while helping Amyla to lead their village, how Tia and Mea will become proud warriors with good heads thanks to both their teaching, how the latest one , Aura wanted to become a warrior healer like herself .
Clarke had stay by her side day and night when she had the flu, once she was healed, the little girl told her she wanted to become like her. Hearing her say this had make her incredibly happy and proud , it also made her think of her mother, even with the bad blood between them due to the death of her father , and her mother still not accepting her family, she always had wanted to make her proud. It's why she wanted to become the best healer she could be .She will have to apologize to her and hope they will have a fresh start ,being able to move on , with time maybe her mother will accept her new family. Well, only if they didn't kill each other with her wife, the last family meeting concerning her union to a Grounder and their way of teaching the children hadn't gone very well.
Still a possible future with everyone safe and her family who at least tolerate each other was a beautiful dream, that was until Finn began to talk.
She was half listening, always daydreaming but she heard words like " love", "you should trust me" , when he told her again that he had done it for her , the dream began to change, the house disappeared , being replaced by Finn falling from a canyon , Clarke shook her head , no she shouldn't think of things like that!
Aura was giving her beautiful flowers , an happy smile on her face... "I didn't knew you were lesbian!" , the canyon now had some crocodiles, another shook of her head, "I'm sure your mother disapprove, don't worry I will take care of you, you will not have to stay with these savages!" ,she heard the growl but didn't have time to react, Amyla had already broken his nose with a headbut and was holding him pinned down , choking him.
Clarke screamed "Amyla , please release him! Remember , your people deserve justice!" Amyla was keeping her hold but seemed to have calm down a little , Clarke moved toward them, a pleading look on her face "Please Amyla , for me . Let him go." Amyla finally released him , she stand up and said to Clarke "if i hear him say anyhting like this again , i will kill him , no matter if my people haven't their justice or if you plead for his life , it's his only chance!", she then left them to go in front of the group, trying to regain her calm. Clarke looked at Finn on the ground, she took deep breaths , chanting in her head (you are the bigger person ) , it was time to go to see her mother, she had some soldiers with guns around her , it should dissuade Finn to follow her . She told Murphy that she was going to talk with her mother, he just gave her a thumb up with a smirk . She walked toward her mother group, fortunately they were far enough for not having seen what happen between Amyla and Finn, she didn't want the already bad impression that her mother had of Amyla to become even worse.
" Mom, can I talk to you? ", her mother gave her a nod, " alone please? ", she was sending an apologic look to Raven .Raven gave her a small smile and left to join Finn and Murphy.
" Mom I'm sorry for how I acted, I know we will keep arguing, but I want you to know that I love you. I understand why you did what you did to dad and I'm trying to forgive you, the life on earth made me see things differently .But mom I need you to accept Amyla and the girls! At least try to talk to them and know them and I need you to accept that I have changed . I will always be your little girl who trains to be a healer and want to make you proud, but now I am also training to be a warrior, to become harder for surviving. This world is hard mom, Amyla taught me their history, and the grounders have always been at war. Against each other before the new Heda unite them , then against the mountain Men and now against us since we have invade their territory and Finn had kill innocent people! They will come after us mom, we need to find something they could want if we want to have peace with them and rescue our people at mount weather ."
Her mother had tears in her eyes "my little girl has really grow up .Ok Clarke I will make efforts with the girls ", glare, "and with Amyla but tell her to stop to look at me like she is going to skin me alive! Last time I thought she was going to kill me when we had a talk about the girls! "
" A talk mom? Really!? You were telling us we were training them to be savages! "
"Alright, alright, I will apologize and we will try to think of something together with your wife , something that we could offer to the grounders for having peace. What happen with Amyla ? She passed us quickly , she seemed angry? And are you relieve that we released Finn? I know he is a good friend of yours. "
Clarke released a heavy sigh, " honestly? No. He was a good friend but after what he has done, the way he treat my wife, I can barely stand him. I try to think of the Finn from before, but it's becoming more and more difficult, and Amyla , well she had a 'talk' with Finn and needed to calm down."
Her mother had a worried look but seeing her daughter's expression, she didn't tell anything, just giving a nod.
They were looking to the antenna when her mother realized that Bellamy and Octavia were not with them.
"Clarke what have you done? Where are they? "
" Mom, please it's not against you! They are trying to find a way in mount weather, I just want to help my friends! "
Abby sighed, looking at her daughter disaprovingly ,
"Clarke, I know you want to help your friends but you can't keep doing things behind my back! They are under my responsibility; if something happen to them, it will be my fault! "
Clarke looked chastised but she was not baking down,
" Would you have let them go if I had ask you? "
"Before you came to talk to me? No. Now, maybe, if you prove to me that I can trust you! "
Soldiers were sent to find Bellamy and Octavia. Clarke and Murphy had to go after Finn. Amyla wanted to come with them and protect Clarke, but with a pleading look, she softly asked her, so only she could heard " please stay with my mother and keep her safe, you are the one I trust the most for protecting her. "
Amyla looked at her , her regard serious " alright, be careful. Remember what I taught you. And don't worry about your mother nothing will happen to her .I swear on my honor! I will be the one to kill her when you give me permission to proceed but I will not leave this pleasure to anyone else! ยป said Amyla smirking .Was that some sort of bad jokes ? She wasn't so sure with the look Amyla was giving her but well, now she knew her mother would be safe, she just had to make sure to never joke about killing her mother when she was angry.
Finn was really beginning to piss her off, complaining about Amyla, their lack of trust. Worst, Murphy was making sarcastic comments and was not helping!
They had to find a shelter, the acid mists was gaining on them.
They were safe in the bunker, seeing the defenseless man dead made everything he had done a lot more real. Now she really can't look at him in the eyes, she was graceful he gave her back her watch, after making sure he wasn't proposing (even if she was happy to be with Amyla and the girls, she had been played, now she was always careful when we were giving something to her) but she knew she couldn't look at him the same as before. She sat down and stayed silent , waiting and hoping that everyone will be safe.
They met with her mother group, Amyla found them a shelter and protected them, she gave them a relieved smile. Apparently, her wife and mother had a talk and reached a compromise, before they were glaring , ready to kill each other, now they were ignoring each other,it was progress!
A beautiful surprise was awaiting them once back at the camp, Jaha was alive! He wanted them to leave and let her friends die in mount weather! She was so happy of his return she almost welcomed him in throwing a knife at him! While imagining ways to make Jaha disappear (maybe she could put Tia on him for target practice? After all the little girl will have to learn to hunt, she could give him two minutes to run and it will be free game.) ,Bellamy came to talk to to her , asking her to come with him, she was needed for healing someone .She had to talk to Amyla and her mom, it was time to prove to her mom that she could trust her from now on .
