I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.

Clarke watched them drag Anya's body over to the machines and hook her up. She was dragged by her feet to hang upside down. She seemed conscious but it didn't take long for her to fall under after they left. Clarke watched them leave through her bars and she stayed pressed against them to examine Anya.

The grounder's eyes were flickering but she was quickly losing consciousness.

She leant back and closed her eyes. There was nothing she could do for Anya. Not whilst she was still behind these bars…

She had to get out

XoXoXoX

Lexa was kneeling in front of the man called Jaha.

His lip was bleeding and a lump was protruding from his head. Apart from that, by their standards, he was perfectly fine.

Jaha's eyes were closed. They had been like that since she entered.

"What did he tell you?"

"Nothing Heda… Just that he came down separately and knows nothing of the sky people we have met or otherwise"

"And we trust that?"

"No Heda"

Lexa stood up and stared down at the man. There was something pitiful at the sight of him sitting there slumped against the wall.

"If you're going to kill me can you get it over with?" His eyes weren't open but clearly he was conscious.

She turned to Indra who raised an eyebrow at her, "He cannot tell us anymore than we do not already know"

"Shall I kill him Heda?"

She was about to say yes when a thought came to her instead. Lexa made her way towards the door and turned back to Indra before leaving, "Prepare him. We leave for the sky people camp immediately"

"Sha Heda"

Lexa looked to Jaha who was eyeing her suspiciously now and said, "I will talk with your leader. Nothing will be decided until then but if you choose to run, if you choose to attack us, then we will kill you"

She didn't wait for a reply before leaving.

Bellamy and Monroe managed to lean against each other for movement. It was slow work but they worked with what they had.

She was holding her stomach tightly trying to keep the blood flow down but Bellamy could tell they wouldn't have long and needed to get back to the dropship. At least if they did that then they could regroup and maybe even help Raven

"Come on Monroe. Not far to go"

"Yeah I know Blake"

He grimaced as they slipped down slightly against the root of a tree. Bellamy lifted his arm and pointed over the trees where the tip of the dropship could be seen.

"See… Not far"

Monroe nodded through gritted teeth but was refusing to speak.

He just hoped Raven was still alive in there.

They clambered through the remains of camp and tumbled toward the dropship open door.

"Finn!"

He lifted Monroe's arm from his shoulder, leant her against the wall and pulled back the cover. Finn was standing there over an unconscious Raven looking terrified with a log from the fire in his hands.

"What the hell is that supposed to do?"

Finn dropped it the moment he realised who they were his eyes wide and darted forward to help Monroe inside, "Sorry I didn't know who you were"

"A grounder isn't going to know your name Finn" He pointed out and knelt down next to Raven, "When did she pass out?"

"An hour ago. If that"

Bellamy nodded and slumped back groaning, "Looks like you're the only one not on their death bed"

"None of you are going to die" Finn wiped the blood from Monroe and nodded to the gun at Raven's feet, "At least we can protect ourselves"

"Right"

They were all too tired to say anymore and he allowed Finn to wipe the blood from him but they left the spear inside not quite knowing what to do.

"Don't suppose you've seen Clarke anywhere?"

Finn shook his head and Bellamy nodded, "Didn't think so"

XoXoXoX

The two men returned what Clarke assumed was two hours later. They dropped Anya down and returned her to the cell next to Clarke.

She waited until another grounder had been chosen and hung up before turning to the other woman.

"Anya" She hissed, "Anya!"

The grounders eyes blinked open and she stared at Clarke.

"Thank you"

"I did not do it for you"

Clarke frowned, "Then why-"

"You had her braid"

Lexa. Clarke had been trying not to think about her inside this cage but it had been hard when there was nothing to distract from the impending doom her mind was insisting on visiting.

"I did"

Anya shuffled around so that she was on her knees and facing Clarke, "Why did you have her braid Sky girl?"

"Because…" Clarke wasn't honestly sure how to respond to that, "She cut it off and gave it to me? I don't know what it means but-"

"We cut off our warriors braid when they fall in battle. It is a sign of respect"

Clarke swallowed realising how this looked, "She wasn't dead the last time I saw her though… She cut it off herself and told me to take it to you or Indra"

"If she is not dead then where is she?" Anya snarled at her through the bars and Clarke pulled back a little.

"I don't know"

Clarke didn't think this was the best time to mention kissing the commander but maybe there was something that Anya would understand, "She was followed by the reapers"

Her eyes widened and she pressed closer to Clarke, "Those creatures will have killed her if they have caught her…"

But there was something about the tone of her voice that had Clarke believing she didn't quite believe that…, "You don't think so though?"

Her eyes widened in shock as Anya smirked at her, "No… I trained her; she was my second. She is still alive"

Clarke nodded and looked over to the doors, "Then we have to get out of here. Your commander promised me an alliance"

Anya raised her chin and studied Clarke for a moment. Her eyes were drooping due to the lack of blood and she didn't doubt how exhausted she must be but Clarke had been around Lexa long enough to know the pride of these warriors.

"You have a plan?"

Clarke nodded, "I do"

XoXoXoX

Abby and Kane stumbled at the entrance of the gate but looked up at the dropship with wide eyes.

Kane sighed and dropped his gun slightly, "They're not here"

"There could be someone inside" Abby pointed out.

Kane nodded to the guards nearest them, "Go look" He turned to Abby and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "We'll find Clarke. I promise"

"Thank you"

He smiled kindly but they were distracted by a call from the ship, "There are survivors!"

They shared a look and Abby lead the way running inside. Pushing past the first thing she saw was Raven on the ground.

"Raven!"

The girl was barely conscious but her eyes widened at the presence of Abby, "Hey Abby"

She ran a reassuring hand over Raven's head, "Hey shhhh… We'll get you back to the Ark and sort you out"

Her eyes landed on the two boys watching her and one of them was bleeding from his leg.

"You okay?"

The boy snorted, "I'll be fine"

"Bellamy Blake"

They all looked to see Kane watching him.

"Officer Kane"

"You shot the Chancellor" Kane raised an eyebrow.

"Jaha cleared him of his crimes" The other boy pointed out.

"Jaha isn't the chancellor anymore, Abby Griffin is"

He nodded to Abby and something seem to connect in his fac because he looked at her with wide eyes, "You're Clarke's mum"

"You know Clarke?"

She was desperate for anything they could possibly know.

Bellamy nodded and looked to the one next to him, "This is Finn, the one you helped with the stab wound"

Jackson entered behind them with a stretcher and they all helped to gently lift Raven onto it. Once she was certain Raven was in safe hands she pulled Bellamy and Finn to one side whilst Kane helped the second girl.

"Where's Clarke?"

They shared a look and she felt the dread flow through her, "She's gone"

"Gone where?"

Finn scratched his head trying to find the words, "The grounders were attacking. After I was stabbed we managed to capture one but Clarke and Octavia, Bellamy's sister, released her and Clarke was trying to form an alliance with her. They went to this bridge and it was going well until Jasper fired a shot off… anyway all hell broke loose and we just about managed to get out of there alive"

"So where's Clarke now?"

"Gone to barter peace again" Bellamy spat and looked up as Kane approached, "Turns out the grounder we captured was their commander and for whatever reason agreed to take Clarke and try for an alliance… so that's where Clarke is now"

"With the grounder?"

Bellamy nodded and Abby ran a hand through her hair. Kane looked at her sympathetically, "We'll find her Abby"

"But they might have killed her Kane!"

He didn't have anything to say to that but merely walked away with the group. She sighed, Clarke would have to wait anyway, and they needed to get them back now.

Lincoln gazed through the bush at the Ark. He didn't feel guilty about betraying his Heda and nor did he feel any over lying to the sky girl but she needed to be with her people.

He watched as a group of them arrived back at the gate, some of them were injured, and they waited for a moment before being allowed in.

Lincoln sighed and looked over his shoulder at the now sleeping girl in the undergrowth. He kicked her foot.

"Get up"

She slumped awake and looked up at him, "What?"

"Your people" He nodded to the Ark and she looked.

Octavia stood to her feet and shook her head, "They aren't my people"

"They fell from the sky. A group just arrived back and some were injured, your friends could be there, and your brother could be"

She gave him an odd look, "You said we were going to Luna"

Lincoln lifted his sword from the ground, "I did"

"But we're not?"

"Plans change" Was all he said and handed her the sword, "I need to return to my Heda and warn her of what has happened here. You must go to your people and warn them"

Octavia looked warily at the blade, "Why are you giving me this?"

"Because you have earned it"

She looked up at him and smiled slight. She grasped the hilt and slid it out of its sheath to admire it before pushing it back in, "Will I see you again?"

He gave her a single nod, "Now go"

Lincoln watched her run down the slope and didn't leave until the gate had opened and allowed her inside. He watched her fling her arms around one of the distant figures and smiled to himself.

"Bell!"

Bellamy spun on heels at the voice of his sister and the next thing he knew a force was slamming against him.

"Octavia!"

"You're alive" She gasped into his ear and he smirked.

"Of course I am. Going to take more than those grounders to beat me"

She laughed and pulled back. It was then that she noticed him putting less weight on his leg and looked down, "Oh my god-"

"Hey" Octavia looked back up at him, "I'm fine O… Just glad you're okay"

They pulled back in for another hug. Bellamy waited for her to pull away before leading her inside to the medical bay. Inside Raven was being lifted onto a bed with Finn at her side; Monroe was in the corner where Jackson was stitching her up.

"o" Raven croaked out smiling up at the younger Blake.

She smiled and walked over to grasp her other hand, "Glad you're still alive Reyes"

"You too" She frowned and looked past her, "Where are the others?"

It was then that everyone else noticed the lack of people behind her and she sighed slightly. Octavia looked to all the faces watching her, "You might want to sit down for this"

XoXoXoX

Lexa was atop her horse looking down on the Ark beneath her. The sun was just starting to set and they had pulled to a stop at the edge of the forest where the sky people couldn't see them.

Indra and Gustus were standing to each side of her and watching their commander awaiting orders.

Indra spoke first, "Heda?"

Lexa faltered slightly, "Take the sky person down to their camp and give them my message. If they comply bring their leader to the middle ground to meet with me"

"And if they don't?"

She didn't hesitate to give the order, "Kill him"

Lexa would find Clarke yet.

Well let's face it Lexa would tear down trees to find Clarke so let's see where this goes… What's their plan? Hmmmmm I know

Let me know watcha think? ;)
