Hi guys,
just want to tell you that I decided to not change name of Camp Jaha (I'm used to this and it would be a lot of work and I'm too lazy for that)
Ok, enjoy this chapter and see you next time ^_^
Octavia ran to the blonde girl. "Clarke?" She shook with her. When nothing happened, she turned to Raven. "Stay with her. I'll go get Nyko." Raven nodded and moved to Clarke's body. She heard someone behind her and when she turned around she saw Anya and Indra.
Indra unsheathed her sword and pointed it at Raven. "Get away from her, sky girl!"
Raven raised her arms. "I did nothing! We were talking and then she fell on ground." When she saw that Indra wasn't backing down, she moved away from Clarke.
Indra watched her warily. In the mean time, Anya lifted Clarke's body and laid her on the bed next to Lexa. "Well, it looks like we have a problem…and many unconscious leaders." Anya sighed. "I hope none of you want to be like them because we have no more room on that bed for you."
Before anyone could said anything, Nyko and Octavia ran into room. Nyko immediately moved to Clarke and looked her over.
Octavia saw that Indra was still pointing her sword at Raven so she moved to them. "Ehm…Raven is under Clarke's protection." After little pause, she added. "Not that Clarke could do anything about it right now…" She turned to bed and sighed.
Indra rolled her eyes and sheathed her sword.
After few moments, Nyko turned to the other people in the room. "What happened?"
Octavia was the one who talked. "Well, we came here, gave her a message, persuade her to eat something, talked and then she was dizzy and fell."
Nyko was thinking for a moment. "What did she eat?" Instead of verbal answer, Octavia and Raven pointed at the table with food.
Nyko moved there and sniffed at the food. Everyone in the room was looking at him. "Well?"
He turned to them. "Well, it smells good."
Anya rolled her eyes. "Look, Nyko, if you're hungry just eat it…"
He glared at her. "No I mean it doesn't smell like any poison I know. But that don't mean there is none." After little pause, he continued. "I'll go get a few antidotes."
Indra turned to Anya. "Who brought that food here?"
Anya was thinking for a moment. "No one. When I was guarding the only people I let inside were Nyko and Clarke. And neither had a plate of food"
Indra frowned. "I didn't let anyone except these two." She pointed at Raven and Octavia.
"Hey! We didn't do anything! Clarke is our friend." Raven wasn't happy that someone accused her of doing something like this.
Before they could fight, Octavia talked. "It had to be someone who was in here before…"
Anya nodded. "I was thinking the same thing. Where's that message you gave her?"
Octavia went to bed and picked up a piece of paper which she handed to Anya.
"Names?" Anya raised eyebrow at girl in front of her.
Octavia shrugged. "After that what happened in the prison, she wanted to know who was inside."
"What happened in the prison?" Anya frowned.
"You don't know?" When Anya just shook her head, Octavia continued. "The assassin and traitors are dead. But without any trace of an attack."
Raven interrupted her. "Poison."
Octavia nodded. "Exactly."
Raven turned her head to food. "Someone needed to bring the food to the prisoners so they would survive until you…start cutting them, right?" The other three conscious women in room nodded.
In that moment, Nyko came back. "I'm here with every antidote we have." He started to look Clarke over once again so he knew which antidote he should use. After a moment, he took one vital and poured the contents into Clarke's mouth. "She should be awake soon." He started moving on other side of bed. "Well since I'm here I'll check on Heda as well."
The other women just nodded and let him do his job.
"So who is able to get in here and bring food?" Raven asked others.
Octavia shook her head. "There is too many attendants…"
Anya interrupted her. "Aleena."
"That nice lady?" Anya handed Octavia piece of paper with names. "She is the only one who was there and has access to Heda's quarters."
"Why she would do that?" Octavia couldn't believe that someone so nice could do something like this.
Anya shrugged. "I don't know. She's from the north border maybe she feesl like she is more Azgeda than Trikru."
The former Skaikru member was thinking for a moment. "That guy I fought with and who tried to kill Heda at celebration. He was from the north border."
Raven chimed in. "I have this crazy idea. What if the north border isn't as loyal to you as you guys think?" All three women glared at her.
It was time for Nyko to talk. "Ehm…maybe you should know that poison wasn't for killing her. This poison is used when you want to paralyze someone or keep them unconscious." With that, he left the room.
Anya didn't understand any of it. "So she wanted Clarke alive. Why? That food had to be here even before the wedding. So she had to believe that Heda would be dead. Why not kill her as well?"
"Maybe she needs her for something." It was all Raven could think as answer.
Octavia had enough. "Who knows? All Azgeda are probably crazy on the same level. We need to find that crazy lady. And now sounds like a good time."
Indra nodded. "Octavia is right. You two go find her and Anya and I will stay here in case she comes back."
"Did everyone forget I'm crippled? I can make a bomb even kill her with that bomb but I can't go to her put that bomb to her arms, tell her to hold it and wait then run a mile away and blast her!"
Octavia turned to her. "How you get here anyway?"
"That's what you get from it, huh?" Raven sighed. "Some guy with horse helped me after I told him I have important message for the Commander. He was fine until he handed me to the guards…"
Octavia grinned. "What you were expecting? A tea party?"
Raven punched her. "Shut up Pocahontas!"
"You still remember that nickname?" Octavia was shocked.
"What you were expecting? A tea party?" It was Octavia's time to punch thee other girl.
Indra had enough. "We don't have time for this! Sky girl and Anya will stay here and we'll go find that traitor" Everyone in room nodded.
Before anyone could move, Aleena came inside. "Why is no one guarding the doors?"
Indra unsheathed her sword and moved behind her so she couldn't run away "Traitor!"
Aleena sighed. "One would expect you'd find out sooner. But better now than never I guess."
Raven was surprised. "You're not even going to try to convince us that you're innocent?"
Old woman smiled. "Why should I do that? It would be just a wasting of our time."
Indra grabbed Aleena by her arm and dragged her off to the prison.
"That was too easy." Anya looked sadly at the other girls in room. "I, at least, wanted a fight."
They all turned to the sound of groaning coming from the bed.
Clarke touched her head and groaned more. "What I was drinking yesterday? My head is killing me." She opened her eyes and saw how everyone was looking at her. "What happened?" She looked at her left and saw Lexa. She saddened.
Octavia was first to talk. "You were poisoned." Clarke got up from the bed and sat in the chair next to Lexa. Octavia continued. "It was Aleena. She probably poisoned that assassin and others in the prison as well. Indra took her to prison."
"Did you see that?" Clarke said it in real surprise. Her eyes never leaving Lexa's body.
"Ehm…Yes, it was few moments ago. She dragged her outside…" Octavia was genuinely confused why Clarke was asking this.
"She moved!" Clarke moved her hand to caress Lexa's cheek and leaned closer to her. "Please tell me I didn't imagine that."
"Clarke?" It was a weak whisper but Clarke heard it all the same. "Yes, yes I'm here Lexa. Please open your eyes."
The other three women, who were too far away to hear anything, looked at each other and exchanged worried looks.
Lexa really tried to open her eyes but she was so tired.
Clarke turned to others. "You heard that right?" They could see hope in Clarke's eyes so not one of them dared to move or say anything.
When she saw that she knew the answer. She turned back to the Commander. "Lexa, please. You need to wake up. I need you to wake up." The only answer was dead silence.
Clarke closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She raised from her chair and opened her eyes with a new found determination to kill everyone who decided to hurt her Lexa. "I want the army ready in three days." Anya and Octavia gave her a nod. Raven wasn't sure if it was an order for her as well but she nodded anyway. "We will march on Camp Jaha."
No one realized that they were being watched.
MEANWHILE, SOMEWHERE IN THE WOODS
"So?"
"I don't know! I can't hear them. I only see the same thing as you. Clarke woke up."
"Damn! She promised this would work!"
"I don't want to hurt Clarke."
"And you think I do?"
"No…it's just…I don't like this plan. The Commander is bad but the people inside are not!"
"You heard what Echo said. The Commander brainwashed them with the help from some herb and there is no chance for them."
"But she said that Clarke and O were brainwashed too. Does that mean there is no chance for them either?"
"Hey, I have the same information as you. But I think she was babbling something about time. That Clarke and O haven't had the herb long enough to be influenced like the others…I don't know. I just know we are here to observe. At least until the Ice nation come here."
"And what do you want to do after that? Clarke is awake and I'm not a fighter. I can control that drone but that's all. She will fight back. We will never manage to take her back to Camp Jaha."
"We will go with the plan. We let Ice nation take care of the distraction in the city, then we slip inside the palace, find Clarke and the Commander, kill the unconscious Commander and save Clarke. It's as easy as that."
"What if she don't want to be saved?"
"Clarke doesn't know what she wants. She's doing what the Commander tells her to do! Bell gave me some herbs from Echo in case. We'll just give them to Clarke and she'll fall asleep."
Two of them fall into silence again. Their eyes fixed on monitor in front of them which showed only a unconscious Lexa on the bed and Clarke sitting next to her.
Finally some word from Lexa!...not what I was expecting…but still :D
Oh and who do you guys think are that people in woods?...Bellarke shippers?
I don't know how you guys but I think war is coming :D
