Clarke's POV:
"Lexa!" I shove Lexa down to the ground with me but the un inevitable bullet still finds its way into Lexa's arm. Adrenaline running through my veins, i quick drag Lexa behind the nearest tree. "Shit. It's Pike" I look over the tree hoping pike is staying away. "Give me your arm," Lexa yelps in pain as I lift her over to face me.
"It's fine Clarke it's just a scratch." Lexa coughs through her pain as rip her sleeve revealing a graze not a hit. My hands drenched in crimson blood I turnicit Lexa's arm.
"This doesn't make any sense. The bullet only grazed you and there is so much blood." Lexa lifts her head from the ground and her eyes widen. That's when I notice a black fluid slipping out of Lexa's wound. "What is that" I turn to Lexa to see her eyes staring at my torso in fear. I realize..... it's not HER blood.
Finn's POV:
A pounding ache on my left face forced my eyes open. They open to grinning Raven as she caresses my hair as I lay on her knees.
"Morning sunshine. How's your head peacemaker?" Raven jokes as she helps me sit upright. As I sit up I see a pair of wire cuffs beside me. Raven sees the confusion in my face and continues, "they wanted to restrain you but lucky your savior took them off." Raven playfully flips her hair in triumph. My bruised cheek tingles as I grin. I look around to see the people of Arcadia begin to awake when I remember Clarke.
"How long was I out? Did they find her?" I press Raven for answers.
"You were out bout half an hour, Kane sent out a small group but nothing yet." Raven apologizes. As I open my mouth to speak, the deafening ring of a gun being fired pierces the woods. Kane, Abby, Bellamy,Raven, and I all jump onto our feet having the same thought in mind. Clarke! Without second guessing my feet are once again sprinting across the forest hoping for any sign of Clarke. As the rest catch up we separate to find her quicker.
"I sent a group of guards to protect the group in case the grounders heard the shot. Abby come with me and Bellamy go with Finn. We need to find Clarke." Kane instructs us to go ahead and Bellamy and I take off without questions. For us it isn't about finding who fired, it was about finding the girl we each loved. I just prayed it wasn't her who was shot.
Clarke's POV:
Lexa's eyes filled with concern and fear as the adrenaline coursing through my veins slowly began to fade and began to feel the pain in my side.
"No no no, here we have to get you back to your people." Lexa rambles as she applies pressure on my side but realizes the blood is not stopping. Lexa stands me up ignoring the pain in her arm trying to hide it.
"Lexa, most my people don't know that you gave us the warning. If they see you, they will kill you." I plead with Lexa to go as I lean onto a tree to support a weakening body I call mine.
"It doesn't matter, you could die if I leave you. I'm not doing that again. I can't do it again." Tears spill down Lexa's rosy cheeks as she protest.
"Pike is probably on his way here since he saw me take you away, I'll be fine. Please go, if you die so does any chance for peace between our people. Go Lexa, please!" I mask the growing pain in my side as she reluctantly agrees and heads off.
"I'll keep working with my diplomats and I'll send for you when it's sorted,okay?" Lexa holds my cheek as she leaves. When she is no longer in view I let out a loud breath from holding the pain I really was in. The adrenaline was not enough to numb the pain any more. Branches behind me snap as one speaks.
"Clarke Griffin? Where's the grounder?" Pike's voice cuts. His eyes widened as he step closer to see the pouring crimson blood dripping through my fingers as I hold my side. "Did that animal hurt you. I'm sorry I tried to shoot her before she could." Pike holds me up as I begin to collapse. Unable to fully push out words I say, "sh-she ...didn't hurt m-me" I push the pain down to try and walk as fast rustlings of bushes and breaking branches come nearer.
Finn's POV:
Soft whispers creep through the trees as Bellamy and I run toward a wail of pain Bellamy and I knew all to familiar. I race towards the sound I wished and prayed I was wrong about. I tumble past a few trees as I finally see Clarke. She is leaning against Charles Pike, the man who taught us about earth before being sent to our deaths'. I found her. She's okay.
"Clarke?!?" Clarke and Pike turn to meet my gaze as Bellamy pushes past the bushes behind me. Clarke face is red and fading, a look that terrified me. I step forward as she attempts to speak but can not. Pike removes his arm from her side to reveal the horror of blood seeping through her side. Clarke tries to wobble to us but falls on her knees instead. I race to catch her before her head meets the ground but an barely out timed. I quickly pick Clarke up into my arms as I hold her. The light and love in her eyes that I loved and missed were finally there. Clarke smiles through her pain as she fights the fading. "Hey look at me, I'm here. I'm right here." I rock Clarke in my arms as my tears uncontrollably fall, "you're gonna be okay. It's fine. You're gonna be just fine" I try to convince my self as I apply pressure onto a clotting wound. "See! It's already getting better." I smile to comfort an in pain Clarke. She only smiles as she lifts her blood stained hand to cup my face. She's saying goodbye! No! "No. No you're not saying goodbye. You're gonna get grow old and have lots of kids." I sob at the thought of Clarke dying. "Bellamy get Abby and Kane! Now!!!" Bellamy rushes off in shock as I turn back to Clarke.
"It's okay Finn." A tear eyed Clarke coughs through her pain to comfort me as I lean into her touch.
"No it not. I love you Clarke. I never stopped loving you princess." Clarke chuckles at the sound of her nickname as Abby arrives to the horrific sight of her daughter in my arms drenched in her own blood.
"I never stopped loving you either spacewalker." Clarke's smile fades as she goes limp in my arms. And in that moment my world fell apart.
Bellamy's POV:
Anger and fear fill my soul as I see Clarke Clarke's arm drop limp. Her mother, Kane, and I stand frozen at the sight. Finn has broken down into tears as he lets out an agonizing scream.
"Is she....?" Finn's mumbles through his tears handing her to her mother. Abby drunk by her own tears, trembles as she checks for a pulse. Everyone holds their breath until Abby let's put a sigh of relief giving us the answer we prayed for.
"She still breathing. She lost a lot of blood, we need to get her back with the group I have supplies there and Jackson can help me." Abby mutters through her snot and trembling voice. I quickly pick up an unconscious Clarke in my arms and rush back to the group as we all pray she makes it. I don't want my last memory of her to be me holding her body as she slowly fades. The girl I loved so much was in my arms dying and I've never been more terrified in my life.
