Clarke was running to the medical's tent, her vision blurry. Her little girl has finally be found and she was badly hurt! She stopped before going Inside the tent, taking some deep breaths to calm herself, she tried to clean her bloody hands and face like she could, during her frantic research she didn't care if she was hurting herself but she was here to reassure her daughter, not to worry her.
She moved inside the tent, searching for her daughter among the people who were lying everywhere. The groaning and screams for help, the blood, the odour of burnt people were turning her stomach, her imagination was going wild, making her more and more afraid for her daughter. She was knocked over multiple times by the doctors and healers who were desperately trying to save the more people they could. It was hopeless, she couldn't find Tia! Maybe she was moved or she has been lied to….or….she was too late…No! She shouldn't think like this, she had to find her!
She saw her mother working on a patient and quickly moved toward her, yelling " Mom! Where is Tia? "
Abby looked up, relieved to hear Clarke's voice and quickly moved to her daughter, she took in Clarke damages hands and start to examine them, " Clarke! What happened to you ? "
Clarke shook her head, removing quickly her hands, " Not now mom! Where's Tia? I can't find her! "
Abby looked sadly at Clarke, " You see the grounders who keep guard in the back? Tia is here with other patients . They don't want us to help them, it's against their rules to heal someone by blood transfusion . I tried Clarke but there was nothing I could do. Tia has lost a lot of blood and I can't do anything for her, they won't let me, I'm really sorry. "
"Stay here! Tia will need you soon! " said Clarke with rage, her eyes were like steel while she was moving toward the guards, the worried calls from her mother were ignored . Now she had a purpose and anyone standing in her way would regret it dearly.
" Move aside and let the doctors do their jobs! " said Clarke in a firm angry voice to the guards .
They just looked at her without saying anything, refusing to move. She moved slowly her hands to her gun and sword, if it come to this, she didn't have a choice. She will make them move. She will not let her daughter die because of stupid traditions or fear of the spirits .
" Move! " yelled Clarke, her posture becoming more threatening, seeing they wouldn't do like she asked, she was ready to act but was interrupted by Lexa and Indra's entering the tent. The Heda asked quickly some explanations about the commotion to her guards and once informed, she turned to look at Clarke,
" Clarke! Don't interfere! They want to die in the respect of our traditions, as grounders, you don't have a say in this! It's a grounder's matter! " ordered Lexa .
" You don't understand! It's my daughter who is dying here! Grounder or not, she will be healed! Order to your guards to leave !" yelled desperately Clarke.
" You don't give orders! You have no right to talk to our Heda like this Sky girl! Shut your mouth and leave! » interfered Indra furiously .
This memory brought a small smirk on Clarke's face, the friendly fights with Indra were always fun and she had won this one. Unfortunately her good mood didn't last long, it was hard to stay happy when you were in jail and hadn't saw the sun for three days. Tears started to fell again, followed by some sobs, she couldn't stop crying since she had been locked up. They were going to execute her soon, she will never see her friends and family again . She fall asleep, shivering on the ground, mentally and physically exhausted . Her sleep was troubled by nightmares, making her wake up a lot of times, it was only thanks to the memories of the girls and Amyla than she was able to keep going and not lose all hope. She had to stay strong until the end, she will not dishonour her family, here on the ground everything was so different, 'Live fast, love hard and die with dignity ' would make a good slogan for their new clan thought with derision Clarke, becoming a little delirious with the lack of sleep.
The door of her cell opened, Clarke sat up slowly, rubbing tiredly her eyes , trying to recognize the silhouette moving toward her,
" You really worried me this time foolish Sky girl! " said the shadow .
Her mind must be playing some tricks to her, the voice was sounding a lot like Amyla but it was impossible, she couldn't be here . She sighed and closed her eyes, she was really losing it.
" Clarke! Wake up! We need to talk! " said the shadow, but Clarke refused to reopen her eyes until she felt some strong arms enlacing her, the safety and comfort she was feeling in these arms was very familiar, " Amyla? Please tell me I'm not dreaming! " said a very emotional Clarke.
" No, it's not a dream Clarke. I'm really here . Did you really think that I would let you die without doing anything? The day I fall in love with a foolish Sky princess, I knew that I was doomed, but the risks are worth it, love. " said Amyla gently while smiling .
Amy stayed silent while Clarke was crying against her, she had never been really good with comforting people but she wanted to reassure her wife by her presence . She could hear Clarke mumbling some apologies against her, she hold her strongly, closing her eyes full of pain. Clarke has finally calmed down, Amyla took her head in her hands and kissed her gently, between the kisses she murmured softly in Clarke's ear " It's going to be ok, I will never let you be killed. I will protect you. "
After some time, Amyla sat next to Clarke while holding her hand , " We need to talk Clarke. We don't have a lot of time. "
Clarke nodded her head, she was feeling more like herself thanks to Amyla's presence,
" How's Tia? " asked Clarke worriedly .
" She is going to be ok, she is strong. She can already move alone without help. And no, she isn't mad at you for the blood, her exact words were, 'I knew my sky mom was an idiot and would do something like this but I don't care about the traditions anymore I only want my mom safe'. " said Amyla smiling,
" you have some protectors waiting for you outside, Tia, Mia and Aura stayed all day watching the guards .I think our girls even scared them a little, they were a little jumpy when I walked pass them. ", they both laughed, the scowls of their girls were famous,
" and no, don't worry, they are not alone. I have some men watching and protecting them." said Amyla before Clarke could even ask. She could read her wife pretty well, her eyes were always so expressive . Clarke smiled with gratitude and let out a loud relieved breath.
" So, I'm really happy to see you but you shouldn't be here. What's happening? " said a frowning Clarke .
" You don't understand do you? " said Amyla, " what do you think would happen if you were executed? "
" I don't know. I know I deserve it for knocking down Indra and pointing a gun at Lexa's head but I don't regret it. I would do it again. I saved Tia and the other patients. " said Clarke, her voice a little more firm.
Amyla sighed tiredly "Yes you did and I'm glad you saved our daughter even If you had to threaten my sister to do it, but you didn't think about the consequences . Let say you are executed, our clan would go to war against Lexa and her army, not only our men but their family as well, their friends , the sky people will go to war too with their guns. Lexa who only wants peace would have a war that could last for a decade, maybe even more. They would be attacked from all sides, some of our warriors have family who have been exiled when they became Reapers, they are hiding in the desert and formed new alliances, those groups would be happy to go to war too . Then the mountain men would still be here, Bellamy refuses to move as long as you are not safe, and the Ice nation would more than likely attack Lexa and the clans if they feel they are weak,they are a bunch of traitors. All of this because of you, congratulations, you have really surpassed yourself this time! "
" Umm thanks? How could I have know! I'm sorry Amyla, I didn't think about…" said Clarke, only to be cut off by Amyla,
"Eh, I don't blame you Clarke! I know you always listen to your heart, I just wanted you to know the importance of what 's exactly happening . It's why I'm here, I have met with my sister and as you could guess the meeting was pretty cold but I told her everything, now she knows what's at stake here. She don't want a war, she is just waiting for an excuse to cancel your execution, but we need the majority of the clans leader to agree, so I'm trying to persuade them. I will do everything I can, even bride them if I have to. Anya and Indra are on our side and help in the shadows . If everything I try to do fail, I will help you to escape and go to war against my sister but I really hope it will never come to this. » said Amyla sadly.
" I don't know what to say Amyla…..thank you for not giving up on me. I love you and I'm really sorry. " said Clarke with soft and vulnerable eyes.
" I will never give up on you Clarke! It seems I'm thinking more and more with my heart since meeting you and maybe it's not a bad thing after all. My time's up, I have to go. Stay strong Clarke and don't forget everyone is waiting for you, that me and the girls are always thinking about you, we love you ok? " said warmly Amyla before kissing Clarke passionately.
" Thank you Amyla, I will stay strong. Please, tell to the girls that I love them. " said Clarke.
Amyla nodded, saying "I will" and kissed her once again before quickly leaving the jail, seeing Clarke like this was breaking her heart. 'Love is weakness', what a load of craps , she never has felt more strongly about anything, she was even ready to go to war against her sister, maybe saying 'love is for fools' would be more accurate, thinking to go to war against an enemy who is a lot stronger than you, with almost no chance to win... maybe she was a fool too. Let's hope she could have Clarke released diplomatically.
