I have to say I actually enjoyed writing this part. I feel as though Clarke is like a really annoying nagging child with Anya when they escape from the mountain and I wanted to convey this because I can only imagine her thoughts being like, 'Well fuck I thought Lexa was a pain in my arse but she's reaching new depths'

I like to think this is a bonding moment for them. I really love the Clarke/Anya dynamic I mean the mud slap across the face? Still not over it :')

Clexa reunion is coming guys we are almost there! So bloody exciting (Oh god. How British can I get?)

Okay so read away

Anya pushed herself up. A heavy weight was pressing against her chest and it took her only a few moments to realise that it was in fact a body. It took a second to realise it was a dead body.

Her eyes snapped open to see a dark bulk in front of her. She could feel the metal pressing against her back. Anya tipped the body aside to see a few more littering the space she was sitting in. Across from her the sky girl was doing the same, eyes wide, and staring at the body that had previously been lying atop her.

The panicked gaze moved up to meet Anya's blank one and she swallowed heavily, "We're in a cart"

Anya nodded, "We should go"

Clarke pulled herself up and slipped over the side. Anya slapped away her helping hand and followed after her. She looked around and spotted a metal door ahead of them, snarling, she looked to the other side to see a tunnel leading off away from them.

Clarke was taking deep breaths trying to calm her breathing, "Are we following the tunnel?"

She ignored her and just started walking away. Anya knew these tunnels and didn't need the girl to lead her. She heard footsteps behind her indicating that she was following but still Anya ignored her.

"Hey" Clarke grasped her arm and pulled her back, "I need you to take me to your commander"

"Return to your people sky girl" Anya snatched her arm back, "And I shall return to mine"

Clarke shook her head, "No. Your commander promised me peace before we were separated, take me to her"

She narrowed her eyes, "No doubt the commander has long since made that decision without you sky girl. Return to your people" she repeated, "And I will walk away without removing your head from your shoulders"

"With what weapon? We got out together and in case you didn't notice, we're still in the tunnels. My people are in that mountain, so are yours, and we can work together to get them out"

Anya snarled and turned back to the tunnel, "Your people killed my people"

"And you killed us. But we can still stop that"

She didn't have time to reply because the door at the end of the tunnel opened to reveal a group of men in suites. Clarke and Anya both stared in horror as did they in response. There was a moment's hesitation before the grounder turned and ran. Clarke followed on a moment later and could hear the people yelling from behind but didn't turn to see if they were following.

The tunnel opened up and she was thrown back by the blinding speck of daylight breaking through the end of the rocks. She raised her hand to shield her eyes and spotted Anya doing the same.

The sound of water hit her ears. Her eyes adjusted and Clarke lowered her arm to see a waterfall in front of them. Anya was peering over the edge. She pulled her head back and took a few steps back in preparation.

"Wait" Clarke held up her arms again, "I can't swim"

Anya gave her a blank look as the sound of the men grew louder and merely shrugged, "Not my problem sky girl"

She didn't hesitate this time and ran past Clarke only to disappear over the edge a second later.

"Shit" Clarke looked behind her and watched as the first suite appeared round the corner. She looked back over to the edge and shook her head, "I'm sure I read something about making sure the depth is twice the height you jump from…"

The last man rounded the corner and Clarke's heart dropped at the sight of guns, "Halt!"

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Well fuck this"

Clarke took a running leap before any of the men could shoot and screamed slightly as her feet separated from the ground. There was a moment where everything went in slow motion as the earth opened up to her. The blue of the sky and fresh water beneath her glittered in the sun. A burst of wind brought fresh air across her face as a sea of green spread vast across the horizon.

Then she dropped.

Lexa and Abby were working on the terms for the alliance. It was a long process. So far the discussions had been placed mid-way between their camps and it had been working until they reached the current issue. Land.

Lexa's people were still calling for the sky people to be removed and although she was fighting to shoot down those complaints Abby was fearful of an attack.

"I just want the assurance that we won't be forced from our camp the moment you leave"

Lexa raised her head and closed her eyes briefly in agreement, "I will not be leaving for a while but when I do my people will leave yours in peace. That I can promise. As long as yours do not attack first"

She nodded, "I think we will run into some problems when it comes to punishment"

"Abby" Kane winced slightly, "I think we need to change our laws anyway. We can't keep living by the ones we had in space because, although that suited our survival then, I don't think they're practical now"

"I agree"

Indra sniffed from her place next to Lexa. Overall she was the one Abby feared most. There was something intimidating about Lexa but she at least was willing to compromise however Indra seemed to have a deep pride that they were stepping all over.

Lexa raised an eyebrow, "A problem Indra?"

"Heda they promise peace now but what happens when they run out of food and come to us? They cannot hunt or forage and they will certainly die as it gets colder"

"That is the point of having the alliance. We can assist them in all of these departments"

Abby nodded to Lexa in appreciation. They really were going to need help on how to correctly survive down here, there was only so much they knew, and the grounders could help cut a lot of trial and error.

"Then we are bringing everything to this alliance. What will they bring us?" Demanded Indra.

Lexa looked to Abby with her eyebrows raised, "We kill them, they kill us, it will be our way of avoiding that situation Indra"

Indra looked annoyed still but didn't say anymore so Abby took this opportunity to jump in, "We do need help in learning how to hunt efficiently however our technology and medical supplies can assist you greatly"

"We have no interest in your technology" Indra snarled but Lexa silenced her with a raised hand.

"Medical knowledge is minimalized amongst my people. You teach our healers, we will teach you how to hunt"

Abby nodded. Knowledge seemed to be key here especially with this commander but at least she was willing for this alliance to work just as much as they were.

Lexa looked to Abby, "Is there any word from Clarke?"

"No. Nobody knows where she is… We found some survivors from other stations that survived the landing but Clarke wasn't there either. It's like she's just vanished"

"We have lost one of our own" The commander confessed, "She too seems to have vanished like Clarke"

"It's strange…"

"It is not unheard of" Indra stepped in again.

Abby's eyes widened and she looked to Lexa who seemed unaffected by the news, "You've lost people like this before?"

"Many"

"Many?"

Lexa gave a nod, "The mountain men come down from the mountain and take what they wish… Then the reapers kill the rest"

She looked to Kane but he seemed just as confused as she was, "The mountain men? You mean mount weather? There are survivors in there?"

"Monsters" Indra snarled, "They kidnap our people, our children, and they never return from the mountain"

Abby's eyes widened, "Haven't you tried anything?"

"Of course" Snapped Lexa, "But you can only get so close to the mountain before the fog burns you"

She swallowed and shuddered, silently pleading that Clarke was anywhere but in that mountain.

The sun had set on another day as Abby returned to camp. Most of the Ark were satisfied with the conditions and that their needs were being met however Raven couldn't help but notice the nervous energy around Finn. She knew he was anxious to discover what had happened to Clarke and that it came from a good place but it was honestly starting to grate on her last nerve. He had been pacing in front of her for almost an hour and she knew he wouldn't stop until food was served later on.

She slammed her hand down causing him to pause in his movements and look at her. Even Octavia and Bellamy looked up from their places on the beds opposite.

"Alright Finn, stop, I've had enough. You pacing isn't going to help bring Clarke back"

"They have her" Octavia rolled her eyes but he ignored her, "And we're not even bothering to ask them or look for her"

"Finn they don't have her" Even Bellamy was slowly warming to the grounders yet still Finn fought against it and all in Clarke's name.

"All of our friends are missing and you're all just sitting here!"

"There's only so much we can do" Raven pointed out, "Besides what would you have us do, go out there and look for her?"

He nodded and crossed his arms, "Yeah I would. She would be out there looking for you"

Octavia bit her lip and looked to Bellamy who was watching Finn through narrowed eyes. He lowered his gaze to Raven and asked, "Can you cut of the electricity in the fence?"

"Bellamy!"

Raven sighed and indicated to the wires and controls in front of her, "I can do it easy"

Finn was watching them hopefully, "We're going to go and look for Clarke?"

"Yeah" Bellamy sighed. Standing he handed a gun to Finn, "We're going to go and look for Clarke"

"Bellamy" Octavia spoke again trying to protest, "You can't. The grounders don't have Clarke"

"We don't know that" Finn repeated.

Bellamy ignored him and faced his sister, "We have to start somewhere O. You said yourself that there's a village not far from here where Lincoln was heading, come with us, and he can help us find Clarke"

Octavia shook her head, "I'm not going to condone this. The grounders aren't the enemy"

"Then why is Clarke still missing?"

"I don't know!"

She looked desperately between the two boys but could see that she wasn't getting anywhere with them. Finn was desperate and Bellamy was only humouring him for his own peace of mind but still this would push back everything they had worked for so far. They were going with or without her so the least she could do was to go and oversee the proceedings.

Closing her eyes she sighed desperately, "Okay fine. But we're only using those guns if absolutely necessary"

"Deal"

Clarke's eyes fluttered open. About her a sea of blue was shining and she could feel the dampness of her body beneath her. It was then that her eyes widened and she keeled over retching up the water in her lungs. Clarke watched it hit the pebbles and she looked up to see the edge of a river similar to the one Octavia had jumped in on their first day.

Coughing still she looked around only to find Anya watching her blankly from her place on a fallen tree nearby.

"You didn't leave me" She spluttered.

"You did not leave me" Anya repeated, still staring at her with emotionless eyes.

Clarke nodded and wiped her mouth. She looked around again and frowned not recognising where they were, "Do you know where we are?"

Anya blinked and stood, "Yes"

"How do I get to the commander from here?"

The grounder faced her. She seemed to be examining Clarke, deciding whether she was serious or not before speaking, "I will take you to the commander in tonDC"

"Thank you" Clarke breathed. She didn't ask what had changed her mind but was merely thankful that she had in the first place.

Anya didn't say anything but instead turned toward the forest not waiting for Clarke to stand or follow.

So that's that… :)
