kudos to my awesome beta mini .moogle5 =)

It was a long time ago that Nyko patched Clarke and left. She was done waiting. So she decided to prepare to leave and finally kill a few Azgeda by herself when she heard something. She looked around the room but saw nothing. Her eyes stopped on Lexa. She moved closer to her wife and kissed her forehead. "I miss you." She took a deep breath and moved away to finally leave.

"Clarke." It was weak whisper but Clarke heard it and turned back to Lexa.

The blonde took her wife's hand into hers. "Lexa? Please tell me it's you and not me going totally crazy." She saw how Lexa's eyes slowly opened and Clarke was able to finally see those green orbs she loved so much.

Lexa smiled at her wife. "Clarke."

Clarke shook her head and smiled back. Then she launched herself on the other girl and hugged her tightly. "I thought I would never hear you saying my name again." She moved away only when she heard coughing. "Oh, water. I'm sorry." Clarke took the glass with water beside the bed and helped Lexa to sit and take few sips. Who gladly drank. "Slow down Heda. You know how bad it would sound that Heda Lexa, survived being shot close to the heart and when she woke up, she died choking on water." When Lexa drunk the full glass of water, Clarke put it aside and hugged her wife again. "Please don't leave me again." With that, she started quietly crying.

MEANWHILE

"Come on, Monty. We don't have all day." Monroe called on her friend while they were making their way through Polis streets to the Commander's palace. They were both clothed as Grounders so no one suspect anything if any Grounder saw them.

"I still think this is a bad idea." The boy shook his head.

"Bellamy sent us here. He would not do that if it wasn't the best for us and Clarke."

Monty wished he had as much trust in Bellamy as Monroe had. "But what if he is wrong?"

"He always protected us. Now, if you don't want to be killed by these crazy Grounders, shut up."

After few moments, they both stopped in front of the palace. "No guards as Echo promised. We should do this much sooner."

Monty looked at her still unsure if this was the best idea. "But what if there are guards on the inside?"

"Then we will kill them. We need to save Clarke."

"But..."

Monroe ignored him and moved to the doors. The boy sighed and followed his friend. They both moved inside and raised their guns.

Clarke and Lexa heard shooting behind the doors. The blonde leader moved away from the other girl and raised her sword. She knew she had no chance against guns but that won't stop her from protecting her wife.

"Clarke hide somewhere. They're here for me not for you." Lexa slowly sat up on the bed.

The blonde shook her head. "I'm not leaving you behind."

The sound of the door opening stopped their arguing and they both turned to the intruders.

Clarke's eyes were wide open. "Monroe? Monty?" She lowered her sword. "What are you two doing here?"

No one of Skaikru lowered their weapons. "We are here to save you Clarke."

Blonde leader frowned. "Save me?"

Monty nodded. "Yes, come with us Clarke. We will take you back home. Where you belong." He lowered his weapon and make few steps closer.

Clarke grabbed handle of her sword more firmly but still keep it lowered. She moved protectively between intruders and her wife. "This is my home and I won't leave it."

Monroe moved in front of her. "You're leaving with us. Bellamy and your mother will make you normal again." With that, she grabbed Clarke's free hand and tried to drag her out.

This sprung Lexa to action. "Let her be. You can't force her to leave if she don't want to." She tried to stand up but she was still too weak from blood loss and her time in bed so she just felt back into sitting position on bed.

Monroe turned to Monty. "You will take care of the Commander."

Clarke was startled by this. "What do you mean? What do you want to do to her?" She saw how Monty was moving closer to Lexa with raised gun. "Don't you dare to hurt her, Monty!"

The boy turned to her clearly torn between listening to Monroe's and Clarke's orders. He turned to Monroe. "I don't think she was forced by Commander..."

Monroe had enough. She put her gun away and grabs Clarke's hand with sword. "Give it to me Clarke."

Clarke fought her back and didn't let go of her sword. "You two did nothing else than kill our warriors who were just protecting us. For what? Getting me back to Camp Jaha?"

Lexa saw her struggling and the one called Monty still didn't lower his gun so she dug all energy left in her and jumped on him. That action surprised Monty and he started falling on his back. His survival instinct was telling him to grab first thing he could reach. So he grabbed Clarke's sleeve. Thanks to this Clarke moved in unexpected direction. Monroe was surprised and because she wasn't expecting this at all she let go of Clarke's sword. On the other hand Clarke still firmly hold it but she couldn't control trajectory of its blade. She could only watch how her sword sliced Monroe's neck and blood starter pouring out of there. She let go of her sword and quickly kneeled next to Monroe. She tried to stop the bleeding but it was a lost cause. Another of her friends was dying in her hands thanks to her.

Monty quickly kicked Commander off of him and looked at Monroe. He watched with wide eyes how Monroe's shirt started to be soaked in her blood. "She was right."

Clarke closed Monroe's dead eyes and looked at him. "Monty I..."

He cut her off. "No! Bellamy...all of us, we thought we can get you back and you'd be your normal self again. But no, whatever the Commander did to you...we can't take it back. You're one of them, now!"

Clarke remembered Lexa and saw her down on floor. She helped her back to bed and when she checked she is ok she turned back to Monty who was looking at dead Monroe. "It was an accident. I didn't wanted to kill her." She moved closer to him.

He looked at her with fear in his eyes. "Go away." He backed up toward the doors. "You killed Jasper and now her. I won't let you kill me too. I will tell everyone and you can't stop me." With that, he ran outside of doors.

MEANWHILE, SOMEWHERE IN POLIS

"More Ice nation warriors. We will never get out of here, O." Raven moved away from window of small house where two of them were currently hiding in hope that they would soon able to run into the storehouse. But, the streets were crowded by Azgeda warriors.

Octavia shook her head. "We won't." She turned to her companion. "But you can." Raven looked at her with wide eyes. "I can keep them busy and..." Raven interrupted her. "No! See? That's the reason why I'm the clever one and you're just a warrior. So leave the thinking to me."

"Yes, you're right." Raven sighed in relieve. "I'm just a warrior so no one will miss me." When Octavia saw Raven taking breath to talk, she stopped her. "Clarke is counting on us to get the grenade and stop that crazy robot."

"We will wait. They will leave soon."

Octavia shook her head. "How you said you're the clever one. What if there is more of these robots? You're the only one who can make bombs and stop them."

Raven raised her voice. "NO! I'm done with losing people I care about! First Finn, then they almost killed Abby in Mount Weather, then Clarke left us and now you're planning to let yourself get killed just to save me! I'm done with this!" Tears started forming in her eyes.

Octavia looked sadly at her. She was sorry for other girl. Raven didn't deserve all this pain in her life. She didn't want to add to it but if it means that the other girl will survive this mess then she will do it. She took a deep breath. "I'm not doing it just for you, grease monkey. They will kill all these innocent people in Polis if that lady isn't stopped." She saw that Raven wasn't convinced so she continued with a smirk. "You really have no faith in me. I'm the best warrior in Polis. Indra trained me well. You should believe in me that I will defeat them and I won't even break a sweat, you'll see."

Raven sighed and hugged other girl. "Please don't die." The other girl hugged her back. "Don't worry. I'll see you later and train you as I promised." She moved away and with a little smile, she wiped Raven's tears.

They both moved to the doors. "So I will lure them away and then you will run to your left and down that street until you see a huge house. That's your destination."

Raven nodded. "Ok."

Octavia smiled and nodded back. She unsheathed her dagger and gave it to Raven. "If something happen, you can use this." Raven looked between the girl and the dagger. But before she could say anything, Octavia continued. "See you later, grease monkey." With that, she ran outside leaving Raven behind without taking a second look.

All the warriors turned to Octavia and started to chase her. She ran through a few streets and when she was sure they were far enough away, she turned around and unsheathed her sword. With one swing, she killed the warrior who was closest to her. Luckily, she lost most of warriors in streets but there were still three more in front of her. She was determined to fulfill the promise she made to Raven.

Luckily, none of the Azgeda warriors had gun. There was probably not enough guns for every warrior.

She took a fighting stance and waited for them to attack first. All of them ran at her at once. She easily dodged and managed to cut into the leg of the biggest one. The big man just groaned but otherwise was not affected by it.

She was deflecting all the blows from the other two warriors when she saw how the big man was raising his hammer over his head ready to kill her. She decided to take a risk. She showed her next move, kept herself exposed and took a step back. The warrior with the sword took the bait and attacked. Before the big guy could stop his swing, his hammer hit his companion and he fell with a broken skull, dead, to the ground. Sadly, for Octavia, in the meantime, the other warrior buried one of her daggers into her shoulder. She bite her inner cheek to not cry out in pain and kicked her attacker in the belly and sent her flying away. She used the moment when the man's hammer was on the ground and he wasn't paying attention to her to take the dagger from her shoulder and throw it into the man's throat. She hit her target and the man fell to the ground with dagger in his neck.

The last living warrior growled at her. The warrior quickly get to her feet and ran at Octavia. All the former Skaikru member managed to do was put her sword quickly in front of her and closed her eyes, waiting for a final blow. She felt sharp pain on her left side but that was all. She slowly opened her eyes and saw her sword plunged into the Azgeda warrior. She released her sword and let the dead body fall down with it. Octavia looked at her side to see what caused that pain. She saw a huge gash in her side. "Fuck. Raven will kill me." She sighed.

Octavia put her hand on her side to stop the bleeding, at least a little, when she heard steps behind her. She quickly turned and saw one lonely Azgeda warrior but this time with a gun. She turned around again and started running. Next thing, she knew was sharp pain in her leg and she was falling to the ground. Octavia turned around to face her enemy. The warrior aimed at her and pressed the trigger but nothing happened. Octavia sighed in relieve. Not enough bullets for her.

The man growled and throw the gun away. "Stupid Skaikru weapons." He unsheathed his sword and hover over Octavia. He raised his sword ready to strike. Octavia knew what would happen next. She closed her eyes and was ready to die. Her last thought belonged to a certain mechanic.
