Grounder army get back into their camp and Commander made sure that all people who was kept in mount Weather is taken care of. Then she retired into her own tent. She still cannot believe that few hours ago she was talking with Clarke about visiting Polis and now she is probably dead. All because of Lexa. Before she could think about all possible things that mountain men could do to Clarke. Indra came into her tent "Heda."
"Indra make sure that no one attack Skaikru."
Indra was surprised by this. "We owe them nothing."
Lexa tighten her jaw and glare at Indra "Are you questioning my orders?!"
Indra immediately bow her head "No, Heda."
"So do as I say. And bring me Karliah."
Indra understand that she is dismissed and with final bow left Lexa's tent.
Karliah is same age as Lexa with long dark hair. On her back are two swords.
When she get in tent Lexa was sitting at her throne waiting.
"Heda."
"I have special task for you Karliah. I want you to find Clarke kom Skaikru and protect her, keep her alive. You will not be seen by anyone especially her. You were always best in stealth so I believe it should not be a problem. You will not talk about this with anyone except for me. Any questions?" Her tone disinterested like she was almost bored by this situation.
Karliah hesitate for a moment before she ask "What if – what if she is already dead?"
Lexa tighten her jaw and her mask for little moment slip. Then she composure herself and answer "Then your task is easy one, isn't it. But until you will see her body on your own eyes she is alive. Understood?"
Karliah answered with bow of her head "Sha, Heda." And left tent.
Lexa said her guards that she don't wish to be disturbed for the rest of the night. She was finally alone in her tent. Alone with her thoughts. Why everyone she ever care about have to die. First her mother then her father, Costia, Gustus and now… No, she cannot start to think that way. Clarke is strong, stronger than anyone she ever met. If anyone can defeat mountain men it is her. She knew that there will be no sleep tonight for her. Not until she will know for sure that Clarke is alive.
Clarke was working in medical where she take care of everyone with Jackson. Her mother was the worst. There is possibility she don't survive night. Clarke and Jackson were doing what they can, but she need time.
On other side of camp was rest of hundred talking. All of them who were kept in mountain were asking so many questions: "What happened with Grounders? Where is Finn? Are there another survivors?"
O, Bell and Raven have enough so they decided that they will tell them whole story from moment Clarke run with Anya from mount Weather until today. They heard Clarke talking about it few times so they could do it. They told them everything. About that how Clarke made alliance with Grounders, how she had to kill Finn, how she spend all her time in grounder camp, how she did everything to save them.
When Clarke get outside of medical it was already dark.
She saw delinquents sitting around fire. Far away from others. They could be pardoned but people still did't trust them.
She really didn't want to go to them because she knew they will have questions, but she have to give Raven and Harper antibiotics.
Before she can get to them she saw really furious looking Bellamy going her way. "I told you about the missile and you let all of them die! O was there!"
Clarke wasn't in mood for another 'you are a bitch and you let them all die and I will never talk with you again' talk so she just slipped around him.
Before she could get away he caught her by her wrist and turn her around. "What is wrong with you? Clarke I know would do anything to save them all."
In this moment all delinquents were listening.
Clarke was really tired and was worried about her mother. And she remembered Lexa. How that green eyes always look at her like they know her. Like they understand the pain.
"In that case you don't know me." She said it in even tone like she doesn't care about anything in world. With that Bell released her wrist more than by surprise than anything else.
When she got to the fire she could see Jasper getting up and going opposite direction. O cannot even look at her. And the rest was looking at her like she was contagious. Well it was the same look she get from all people in camp. Now she understand how Finn felt. Now she understand why he turned himself in.
So she did what she came here to do and start going back to medical.
She did two steps when she heard O talk: "That bitch did this to her. And now she is same as her – murderer."
Clarke froze in spot. She wanted to say something. That it is not true. That she tried to be good guy. That she never wanted be in charge. That she never wanted to hurt anyone. But what she can say when it is all true. She is a murderer. She let die all these Grounders in TonDC. She killed all the children in mount Weather. She killed Finn.
She cannot stop the pain in her heart. She could feel tears on her cheeks. In that moment she realized. No one want her here.
And in next chapter finally Clexa reunion =)
