( Finn is being dragged by his hands bc he is still too weak from the attempt and Nyko is carrying raven too, going back to the drop ship where Clarke is still trying to radio Bellamy)
Finn's POV:
My eyes open to face fills of earth. The burning in my eyes almost makes me forget the agony of my wound and fall. My body sore from being dragged still manages to tug at the rope to alert Nyko that I'm awake.
"Good you're up. Get on your feet" knowing he wouldn't ask a second time, I quickly obey without contest. "Now you can walk by yourself, but stay on your feet or she pays for you" Nyko motions to a bleeding and unconscious Raven, my heart fills with rage and fear all at the same time but I know I have to do what he commands, so I continue through the pain and blood spill from my wounds on our walk. I notice that something is amiss, he's heading back to the drop ship.
"No. What are you doing Nyko? I can't go back!" The air in my lungs begin to tighten and I feel the earth spinning, I can't go back! I can't go back! I can't go back! I hurt her! I can't.... I feel my feet begin to want to give in but I protest for Raven's sake. Hours later we reach the fence drenched in sweat, mud and blood from the night before. When I turn my eyes to the drop ship I see a frustrated Clarke on the radio and pacing in her usual pattern but then freezes at the sight of me, so I look away. She deserves better. I'm a monster.
"Finn? What happened Nyko? Why is he tied up and what happened to Raven?" Clarke rushes from the drop ship to check on our wounds but is stopped by Nyko.
"You can take the girl, but only her. The killer stays with me." Nyko hands raven up and a worried Clarke leaves to take care of Raven. "You have your meeting with the commander today at TonDC. There you will have lexa discuss the boys punishment." Nyko commands Clarke and lead me outside to be tied to a tree. I was expecting Clarke to come and say something to me before she left but nothing, she avoids me. Of course she's avoid you pathetic mutt.
(Raven eventually awakes and gets a radio from Bellamy inside Mount Weather and he tells them about the missile heading toward the village. And Clarke leaves to warn Lexa. Blah, blah, blah y'all know what happens in that episode, so fast forward to after the missile hit and Clarke and Lexa have a conversation in private)
Narrator:
"You wished to see me Clarke? What can I help you with." Lexa sits on her throne waiting for Clarke's reason for this meeting.
"I came to ask, No... demand something of you" lexa rising intrigued at Clarke's boldness " Finn is alive. And you will NOT kill him!"
"You dare defend that killer, my people will not stand for this and neither will I!" Lexa begins to head out enraged but Clarke gets in her way.
" You WILL stand for it, because if you don't, I'll tell everyone we knew about the missile and you will lose everything. So in order to maintain the peace we must figure something out." Clarke presses her luck by cornering the mighty commander, but succeeds nonetheless. "Nyko suggest you torture him but I believe we can find some alternative. We could keep him as prisoner for the rest of his life but by his own people." Lexa quickly dismisses the idea and interrupts.
"You want the boy to live AND peace?? That is not going to go well, so here's MY offer and it will be the only one. We grant Nyko's request. The boy will live but be tortured till the end of his days" Clarke attempts to interrupt but is stopped " THAT is the ONLY offer! Or if you deny it, my army will search the woods for him and kill anyone who gets in the way and your friends won't make it out of Mount Weather."
Clarke's POV:
I hate that she's right, but at least he will live. "I'll accept IF raven and I can visit him every week." I can't read Lexa, her face is emotionless and her eyes are running in thought but I notice hurt in her eyes as she turns away.
"You and raven may visit him twice every 2 weeks. That's it. Deal?" Lexa still won't face me but I know that's the best I'm going to get. So I accept.
"Thank you. I know how much you're risking" I tell her as I make my way out but then Lexa speaks still facing the wall.
"Know that I'm doing this for you. You're special." What does she mean by that? I turn to look at her but only she her still turned around. When I get outside I get some of the grounders that Lexa commanded to retrieve Finn with me. We make our way back and the long walk is filled with anger and grounders speaking in trig.
Finn's POV:
I hear grounders approaching with Clarke at the head of them. Nyko makes his way to Clarke, where I know my fates been decided.
"You requested has been granted Nyko. Finn will be brought to TonDC to be tortured for the end of his days." I notice tears begin to fall from Clarke's face which pains me more than any mortal wound could ever cause. To my surprise she approaches me kneel down to meet my lips. " I'm sorry Finn. I tried. I really did. But Raven and I get to come see you twice every 2 weeks. I swear I'll be there. Listen I have to tell you-" Clarke is interrupted by Nyko cutting me lose and toss me on the floor for the grounders to mock me. "What are you doing! Stop Nyko !" Clarke tries to make her way to me but I couldn't let her get hurt.
"Clarke it's okay. Let me go. They have every right" and with that I am dragged to TonDC where I am met by grounders yelling and spitting at me as I am thrown into a dark cell under ground with only a small opening at the top with bars as my only light source. So this is my fate, suffer till the end of my days, continue to hurt Clarke by being alive. I should've died. I deserved to die. I fall onto my knees on the concrete floor shaking. For this is home now. The cold concrete walls that I am sentenced to face my sins will be my only comfort until Clarke arrives. Two grounders make their way down the stairs and into the cell, one holding a whip with thorns embroidered into its frissles and the other holding a dagger.
"Time for you to pay for your sins boy" one speaks.
