FLASHBACK

After saving Anya, when her people tried to shoot her, Clarke really wasn't expecting to end up in a room with Kane and Jaha. She slowly sat up. "Clarke?" Both men said in unison. "You're awake."

"Where are we?" Clarke really had no time for greetings and she didn't remember anything from the moment she fainted in the woods. Blonde checked her wound and saw it was treated. Her own people shot her in her shoulder. That's just awesome. She hoped that Anya is ok or at least still alive.

"We are in one of their villages and this room is probably their prison. We don't know they weren't exactly talkative. They brought you here a few hours ago."

Clarke nodded and before she could ask some more, the doors opened.

Inside came Anya, some man she didn't know and, according to Clarke, a beautiful peasant girl.

Clarke got up. "I need to talk with the Commander."

The big man looked at her. "But the Commander doesn't need to talk with you." With that he dropped a dagger in front of Clarke and left with Anya. Anya shot her a weird look. Like she was trying to tell her something, but Clarke just didn't know what.

Something wasn't right and Clarke knew it. She heard Kane talk with that girl.

When she heard that girl answering she knew something was definitely wrong. She knew from Octavia that only warriors understand and talk English and that girl definitely don't look like one.

She saw how Kane and Jaha argued. So she take advantage of their distraction and took that dagger. She could feel the girl's eyes on her. Clarke turned around and looked at her eyes. She's never seen anything so green. They were beautiful. She could look at them all day.

Clarke snapped from her gaze when she heard Jaha yelling at Kane. She hid the dagger and sat next to the girl. The girl flinched and watched her warily. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just don't want those two idiots to kill each other. By the way, I'm Clarke." She extended her hand for girl to take. "My name is Lexa." Something was telling Lexa that the other girl was telling her the truth and she felt safe. She started to move her hands. Clarke grab her in Grounder style and smiled at her.

Lexa looked at their hands. She was surprised that she knew their custom. When she looked up, she saw the other girl smiling at her. Her heart skipped a beat at that sight.

They held hands and looked at each other much longer than is normal between strangers.

When Lexa realized this. She quickly released Clarke's hand and looked away. No, Lexa told herself, she is an enemy and nothing else. She is beautiful and that smile is unbelievable, but she is still an enemy. Lexa cannot feel this way ever again.

Clarke could feel a pang in her heart when Lexa released her hand. She missed the contact with the other girl immediately.

"So, what terrible thing have you done that you have to spend your day with us?" Clarke was really curious as to why they left this girl here. She had her own explanation why.

Lexa was surprised that Clarke was still talked to her. Most of people stopped after one look from Lexa. Even the one who they called Kane stopped soon after.

"I have nothing better to do in this moment." It was weird for Lexa. Not need to be the Commander for a moment.

"I'm glad that you are free today. I need to talk with you about Mount Weather." Clarke was testing the waters, to see if Lexa would give herself away. Lexa knew that the other girl was up to something with all these questions and comments.

"You need to talk about it with the Commander. I'm just a farmer." She hoped that Clarke would let it be.

"That big guy was the Commander?" Lexa slowly nodded.

Clarke smiled now she knew for sure. She moved closer to Lexa. Brunette flinched but stayed at her spot. "No need to lie to me. I know that only warriors know English. And that man you call Commander? He is too old to ever be Anya's second. You, on the other hand, could been her second." Lexa looked at her with wide eyes and before she could say anything, Clarke took the dagger out from under her jacket.

Lexa was ready to fight. But Clarke did something that she wasn't expecting. She handed the dagger to her by hilt. "I told you, I don't want to hurt you. I just want to get our people from Mount Weather, Commander."

Lexa could kill that girl right now. Instead of that, she smiled for a moment. Before her mask was back and she nodded.

Clarke saw that smile and her heart started beating faster. She will do anything to see that smile again. She smiled as well at that.

END OF FLASHBACK

All that Clarke could think about the moment she beheaded Jasper was Lexa.

Clarke looked in the direction of her soon-to-be-wife. Lexa was standing on her own feet and looked perfectly fine. It doesn't stopped Clarke from running to her. "Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine, Clarke. What about you?" Clarke nodded "Fine." Lexa nodded as well.

Slightly on to the right of Lexa was a lying body. "She jumped in front of me." Clarke knew immediately that it's Karliah. She kneeled down and tried to find a pulse. Unfortunately she found none. All Grounders were looking at her like she could save her. She just shook her head.

In that moment, the little group from Camp Jaha came to them. All of the grounders immediately drew their weapons and pointed them at Arkers. "We don't want to fight."

Clarke ignored Kane and get up. "Take her body to TonDC."

"Sha." Some warriors nodded and started taking Karliah's body.

Abby looked at Jasper's headless body and then at Clarke who was currently cleaning her sword. "What have you done?"

Clarke stopped her action and looked at camp behind her mother. Everyone was looking at her like they were after Mount Weather, but this time there was something more. This time there was fear, real fear for their lives. This wasn't the Clarke they knew. That Clarke would never kill any of her friends, even when that friend currently hated her.

Anya talked this time. "One of your people was trying to kill her and Heda. That's an act of war. He could have been acting on your orders."

In that moment, a messenger from TonDC arrived. "Heda, Heda. I have a message from Polis." All eyes were on him. Even Skaikru were looking and they didn't even know what was happening.

"What is it?" She snapped. This whole situation was getting on Lexa's nerves.

"The Ice Queen has withdrawn from the Coalition." Lexa was looking at him like he had two heads.

All she managed to do was just nod.

"Today just isn't our day." Anya said nonchalantly. "And now, thanks to that boy." She gestured to Jasper headless body. "I owe my finest dagger to Indra."

Clarke raised an eyebrow at her with confusion written all over her face. "We bet that someone from the Skaikru would try to kill Heda. And here I believed that no one was so foolish. Well, apparently I was wrong."

"You were betting on Lexa's life?" Clarke raised her voice.

"Don't worry. We were betting on your life as well." Before Clarke could answer and probably strangle Anya, Lexa snapped from her gaze "Enough. Pack up our camp. We're leaving." Anya and the rest of warriors nodded and started working.

One Skaikru huntsmen spoke. "Jasper said to me that he wanted to talk with Clarke and apologize to her. Instead of listening to him, she killed him." Clarke understands, they didn't see Jasper holding the gun. They saw just his back and later, Clarke cutting his head off. Clarke looked at her mother's eyes. Once again there was disappointment. Will this ever end?

"He killed my friend. And he would kill more of us if I didn't do what I did." Clarke tried to explain that to her mother. They just started to reconcile and now they have to start from the beginning again.

"I don't know who you are anymore." There was little pause before Abby continued. "You're not my daughter." It was said with so much disgust that Clarke lost all her words. "Your father would be so disappointed." With those final words, Abby turned around and left.

Kane tried to stop her but she didn't listen to him and continued on walking. "Look, we can talk about this." Kane looked back at Lexa and started to be desperate.

Lexa heard Abby's words and draw her sword as well. She will kill her. Clarke put her hand in front of Lexa to stop her and sadly shook her head.

Lexa sheathed her sword. She will kill her later.

Lexa knew that her next words would hurt Clarke and she could not forgive her, this time, but she hoped that she would at least understand that she couldn't just stand there and do nothing. "Attacking me or my beloved is an act of war." Clarke knew exactly what that meant. That meant she had to choose. "Get close to any of our villages and you will be killed." With that Lexa turned around and was on her way to the now packed camp.

All Arkers looked at Clarke like she have answers for everything. She realized that she still holding on to her sword so she sheathed it.

"Clarke, you should come with us. Before they kill us all." Bellamy was on her side in instant. He was happy that Clarke's madness with Commander finally end. "You'll be safe with us."

"If you didn't noticed, I was the one who killed Jasper." Why did Jasper have to be so stupid and do this? Why did he have to put her into this position all over again?

Bellamy had no answer to that. "She made you to do it Clarke." Clarke didn't even tried this time to say how wrong he is. It was lost battle anyway.

Lexa stopped in middle of her step and turned to Clarke. "I understand if you want to stay with them." All of Grounders were on their horses. She gestured for them to go. Lexa herself mounted her horse. The only two who stayed were Anya and Lexa with a horse for Clarke.

Clarke knew that they just waiting for her to decide. If she made one step to Camp Jaha, they would be gone, like rest of them.

If she chooses the Skaikru, the next time she saw Lexa she would have to kill her.

If she chooses to go with Lexa and Anya next time she saw Bellamy, Monroe or Raven she will probably have to kill them.

There was no winning for her.

Clarke was looking between Bellamy with Raven and Lexa with Anya. They were all waiting for Clarke to decide. They all hoped that she would choose them. They all believed she would choose them.

Bellamy is like her older brother even after all his stupid problems with Lexa and in Camp Jaha were all of her friends.

Lexa is someone she loves and all the grounders were so nice to her when she came to Polis.

But she has to protect her people. Her people, she knew who that was. And with that she decided.

She closed her eyes and turned around. She cannot look at their eyes. Eyes that now are void of hope that now understand what her decision is. Eyes that now understand that they are enemies and the next time that they see each other it will be for the last time for one of them. She just hoped that they understand, that they will be able to forgive her for betraying them like that.

With her first step, she opened her eyes and tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.

aaaaaand...the end!...I'm such a bad person :D
enjoy two weeks of thinking who Clarke chose... :D
now you're not so happy about this update, huh?! :D
