OUTSIDE OF THE ARK

"This thing is unbuildable!" Octavia groaned in frustration. "One of Indra's first lessons was building tents whole day. Now I'm able to build them with closed eyes plus nerd here should be good with building anything." She looked at Clarke. "Well, you're our weak link. Maybe if you will stay away we will make it."

Clarke glared at her friend. After moment she grinned and shrugged. "Prove your worth to me my minions." She said theatrically.

Raven turned around to say something to her companions but she saw huge crowd going their way. "It looks like we will have some company."

Clarke and Octavia turned as well. They could see Bellamy, Keith, and around 30 guards behind them.

Clarke moved in front of them. "What is happening?"

Bellamy was the one who talked. "We found our own way to solve this."

"What are you talking about? There is no other way."

All guards raised their guns and aimed at three girls in front of them who unsheathed their swords.

Clarke looked at guards with guns and back to Bellamy. "Don't do something what will cost lives of all of your people. My guards will be back soon from their hunt."

Keith smirked. "They won't. I let close the gate if they come near camp they will be shot."

"You really think you can go with swords again our guns?" Keith ignored Raven and Octavia and talked to Clarke. "Tell them to put it down or I will let my guards to kill them."

Clarke sighed. "Do as he said."

Raven turned to her. "What if they're bluffing? We were in war too long they don't need to have any bullets left."

Keith looked between them. "English! You're in my camp so you will talk in my language."

Clarke sighed and talked in English this time. "Put your weapons down."

Raven and Octavia sighed as well but let their weapons fall on ground as Clarke said. Few guards moved to them to handcuff all three of them. With them even Echo moved in front of Keith and looked at Octavia. "I don't believe you're still alive."

When Octavia saw who talked she started seeing red. She didn't care how many guns was aimed at her and she ran to Echo tackling her down.

Raven and Clarke called at her at once but she didn't listen. They saw how guards started to lowering their guns and took daggers from pockets. "Well it looks like you were right once again, Raven." Raven nodded and took her sword as well as Octavia's and ran to her girlfriend. Clarke unsheathed her sword and did the same.

Octavia was on top of Echo and she was punching her into face. "You bitch!"

They all heard some sounds behind them and turned to it. They saw Kane and Abby with more guards. "Stand down!"

Kane turned to guards who were behind him. "Arrest them." Guards nodded and started handcuffing Keith's followers and let them to prison.

Keith yelled. "What are you doing? Fight!" But all his followers were already take away the last one there were him, Bellamy and bloodied unconscious Echo on the ground.

Kane moved to Bellamy and handcuffed him without much problems.

Raven ran to Octavia to pull her away from body under her and hugged her tightly. "Are you ok?" Octavia just nodded.

Keith looked around and when he see that everyone is distracted he tried to run away. Before he could get far away Clarke throw her dagger and hit him into leg. He yelped in surprised and pain and fell on ground. He turned around so he could face his attacker. "Please, don't kill me. I'll do everything you want, I promise."

Clarke put her foot on his neck and put her weight on it. "I heard that before." She add more pressure with her foot. "From the assassin you send to kill my wife." After a moment she moved her foot away and took her dagger out of his leg. She turned around to see few guards going her way. They handcuffed him and took him to prison.

She joined Octavia and Raven who were talking with Kane and Abby. "Should I understand it that way you accept our conditions?"

Abby and Kane looked at each other and nodded. "Yes."

Clarke looked at them. "There will be one little change. I believe you will understand it after this accident." Kane and Abby exchanged worried looks. "All the people in prison will suffer the same fate as Keith." She saw that Kane want to say something but she stopped him with move of her hand. "They proved by attacking us that they can't live with us in peace."

"They did it just because they were listening Keith and they thought it's the best for our people."

Clarke looked sadly at Kane. "And I'm doing this because I know this if best for my people." She saw once again how Kane wanted to say something so she shook her head. "I won't change my mind. You know the condition so you can decide."

Abby looked at Kane. "We can't live like this anymore Marcus. Everyone is hungry and they will kill us if we won't agree. We still can save at least few of us."

He sadly nodded and looked at Clarke once again. "Then we agree."

Blonde nodded. "I'm glad that at least someone here is reasonable. When my people come back from hunt I will send messenger for commander."

Kane nodded. "Well I will go to gate to tell them to let your people in." With that he left four women alone.

There was a long silence between four women before Octavia decided to break it. "Ehm….me and Raven will go to do something with our tent." She saw that Raven want to protest so she just grabbed her hand and dragged her away.

Abby nodded her thanks to Octavia and when she saw that girls are away she turned to her daughter. "So….It's Kwin now, huh?…That means you and commander are already married?"

Clarke nodded and looked sadly at ground at memory of how her unity ceremony ended.

Abby understand it that she can continue. "I wish I was there."

Clarke raised her head and glared at Abby. "Why you would want to be on wedding of someone you hate?"

"I always wanted to be on my daughter's wedding."

That made Clarke furious. "But I'm not your daughter anymore, remember?!"

Abby saddened and it was her time to look at ground. "I know that I can't take back what I said but there wasn't a day I would not regret saying that."

Younger girl calmed herself and shrugged while looking to gate. "It doesn't matter now. I should probably go to the gate to watch for my people. I need to send messenger soon." Without waiting for an answer she walked away.

It was at night time when commander and her escort arrived into camp Jaha.

All residents of camp Jaha were standing in front of gate to see what is happening. In front of everyone were standing Clarke with her people and council members that weren't currently in prison.

Lexa was relieved to see Clarke without any visible injury. She jumped of the horse and moved in direction of her wife who met her half way. "Welcome Heda."

Lexa nodded her welcome. "Ain Kwin."

"Skaikru agreed with their capitulation." In quitter voice Clarke continued. "Although there is one change that I was forced to make." When she saw Lexa's confused face she added. "I'll explain later."

After Lexa nodded Clarke smiled a half smile and moved next to her wife with neutral expression once again.

Kane decided that now is a good time for a welcome. "Welcome in camp Jaha commander. We are happy to have you here." When no one was saying anything else he continued. "Kwin told us about the conditions of peace and we are willing to accept them."

Lexa nodded. "I heard that much. If you won't mind we can discuss it tomorrow morning. It's late and I believe all of us can use a good sleep after this war."

Kane smiled at her. "Of course commander. We built few tents for you and your people. This way please." With that he led them to area with tents.

While walking Raven leaned to Octavia and whispered. "Yes, they did, of course, and we were just lying around sunbathing."

Octavia just looked at her and with smile on her face she shook head on antics of her girlfriend.

SOME TIME LATER

Octavia and Raven were in their tent one sharpening sword and the other looking at ground and pacing around tent.

Octavia slammed her sword on table. "Ok, enough! What is wrong Raven?"

Raven was unsure how to tell other girl. "You know that ..." She paused to find a good word. "…executions are starting soon, right?"

"Yes I know."

"And you know that…" Raven started nervously play with her hands. "…your brother will be one of these people there, right?" She quickly looked at her girlfriend to see her reaction.

Octavia sighed. "Yes I know that." She sheathed her sword. "He put it on himself. He trusted Echo like she was some kind of saint."

"But he is still your brother."

"Raven, he doesn't deserve forgiveness for what he has done. He believed her over me. He was willing to go into war against people that did nothing to him or his clan. How many of our villages with innocent people they burned? How many of innocent people he killed? He will get what he deserves." She saw that Raven wasn't so convinced by her speech. "You don't need to worry I know what will happen and I won't stop commander or Clarke when they will do what is necessary."

"And you won't hold grudge against them?"

Octavia shook her head. "No, I won't. As I said I understand." Other girl just nodded. "Now if you excuse me." Octavia get up from her seat. "I need to talk with commander about something." Without waiting for an answer she left the tent.

"….So I was forced to let them die with Keith. I know it's not what we were talking about, but they could be dangerous." Clarke saw how Lexa took a breath to say something but she beat her to it. "Not everyone was on Keith side. How I said Kane and others helped us and they want peace."

Lexa sighed. "Do you realize that you're once again the only thing standing between them and their death?" Clarke's only answer was a deep sigh. "But if you believe they won't be making any more problems I'm willing to let them be. We will talk with council and kill the ones who are responsible tomorrow. Jus drain jus daun."

Clarke smiled at her wife gratefully for not fighting with her more. Visiting camp Jaha was really tiring for her.

Guard came into their tent bowing to both of them in process. "Heda, Kwin, Octavia would like to have an audience with you"

"Let her in."

Guard bowed once again and left. After few moments Octavia walked in and bowed as well. "Heda I wanted to ask for a favor. Could…"

Clarke interrupted her. "I'm sorry O. Bellamy brought this on himself. There is nothing that could save him."

Octavia shook her head. "I understand and I got this talk from Raven already so you can calm down. I won't be trying to save him from his fate. What I wanted to ask was if I could be the one who ends Echo's life." Clarke and Lexa looked at each other so Octavia continued. "I know it's customary for commander to end life of enemy leaders but she killed Lincoln and…"

Lexa raised her hand to stop other girl. "I understand and you have my consent to do so."

Octavia smiled. "Thank you Heda." With one more bow she left the tent.

Hey folks I'm sorry it's taking this long...but I found out that I suck at endings...and because next chapter will be the last I have really hard time writing it (it will be the last even if it should have over bilion words :D). But hopefully one day I will finish it :D

So until next time =)
