Death is not the end

05. Their village

Clarke's POV

My eyes would occasionally open but then close a few moments later.

My eyes finally open as I hear Bellamy call out my name "Clarke wake up, Clarke"

My eyes still out of focus wondering around to find out where we are. "She is up" Octavia yelled as everyone now turned to stare at me

My eyes finally focusing I notice we are in some kind of tent. There wasn't much in the tent tho, to my far right was the entrance and to my left was a bed, behind me was a pole I was tied to and in front of me was a table with pages on it.

Funny enough the tent somewhat reminds me of the tent me and Lexa shared when we were waiting for Bellamy to take down the acid fog by mountain weather. The candles in the room reminded me of how she use to let them burn till they couldn't any longer even during the day when the sun was at its highest those candles burnt.

"Where are we" I asked finally coming back to reality, my voice cracking as I tried to hold back the tears.

"I think we are at the village" Octavia said. I touch the back of my head realizing the excruciating pain and feeling dizzy. I bring my hand to the front so I can look at it when I notice it's covered in blood.

"Clarke you are bleeding" Bellamy said with a worried exasperation on his face "Guards!" Bellamy shouts when it hits me.

"Bellamy shut up" I say before the guards get in. The guards enter the room and I hid my hand full of blood and give Bellamy a look, I think he got what I was trying to say without fully understanding why I was saying it. The guards look around and then walk back out and stand at post again.

"Clarke you need medical attention what are you doing" Bellamy seemed clearly pissed at me

"Octavia was right I heard the guards speak Trigedasleng. If they are anything like the grounders what do you think they will do when they find out that I am a Natbilda" Bellamy looked down at my hand which were cover in my black blood. I think he was trying to figure out what to do next, if he would let me bleed or call them back and risk them finding out.

"She is right. They would not take kindly to someone with the blood that shows up coming from a space ship and they still maybe live by the terms Jus drein jus daun(blood must have blood) ." Indra has her stoic exasperation and keeps looking forward and doesn't make eye contact.

"Wouldn't they have killed us by now then" Bellamy's is getting irritated by all of us now and is struggling with his restraints

While I was listening I heard someone talk about there leader will be meeting with us shortly coming from the capital.

The capital

I thought of Lexa again and how she asked me to join her and go to the capital with her and when I finally did how happy we were. I also vividly remember how she died, right there on my bed in my arms. I can feel the tears start to form in my eyes and I can't help but wish I stayed up with Monty them so I could meet with her again but that would be selfish towards Madi.

I heard one of the guards enter the room as I pop my head up still crying a bit. The guard looks at me as if he is looking down to me.  He probably thinks of me as weak and easy.

"Ai laik Okteivia kom Skaikru en ai gaf yu heda" (I am Octavia kom skaikru and I am looking for your head) Octavia said getting the attention from the guy stand now above me. The guy looked confused and ran out the tent.

I feel he understood what Octavia told him. A few moments later he enters the room with two more guys. They head over to Octavia and go to grab her when Bellamy trips one of them. The guy looking furious grabs his pocket knife and put it against Bellamy's neck. I watched as a small drop of blood came dripping from the blade.

"Don't" this is the first time we hear them speck "Heda said they are not to be harmed until she gets here" the guy backs off and takes Octavia away. He looked back to see the look on Bellamy's face and found a certain pleasure in seeing him struggling to get to his sister.

The other two scan the rest of us and notice Rider, Indra and Echo "Them too" he must of noticed the tattoos they had, as the guy goes in to grab Indra who is next to me I go in to attack him when Indra stops me.

"Clarke no, Ste yuj(stay strong)" forgetting all about my bloody hand I calm down and leave Indra.

"Natblida" the man looks at me in horror while the other leaves Indra and comes to see where the bleeding is coming from, he moves my head and sees the blood and looked shocked. All of sudden a commotion started and people started cheering.

"Heda Heda Heda" came from outside. The two men run out of the tent completely forgetting about us.

"Clarke we need to get you out of here. Echo and you can escape" Indra took a knife that she probably stole from the guy when he came close to her.

She cut herself loose and then untied me and Echo "What about Bellamy" I asked genuinely worried

"I'll be fine plus my sister is still here and if we are all gone they are going to come after us all" I give him a reassuring nod when the tent flap opens and two worriers step inside.

We are too late. I turn around fast and head for the back of the tent planning to escape underneath it when I hear the guy shouts "Heda they are trying to escape"

Two more guys entered the tent and try and get me and Echo when Echo looks at me and then the tents back thinking of what I was thinking just a few seconds ago. I knew what she wanted me to do. I turn around while Indra and Echo are fighting the two guys and a familiar presence appears which stoped me in my tracks.

At first I brushed it off as Octavia but it felt different. The presents of this person felt as if we had had a strong connection as if there was an untold story there, like we have known each other our whole life and we were missing pieces to a special puzzle that only me and this person knew about. I turn around curious as to who it could be maybe my mother when I see...

"Lexa"
