Clarke had told me that they planned to keep Bellamy's cover by not evacuating the village. If they had, Cage would know we had been warned. For some reason, I understood. It was either that or I couldn't get mad after all the things I had done without telling anyone. I was only glad that my father had survived.

Octavia was honored by the remaining war chiefs and seconds for giving the courage to save the rest of the people. I didn't bother expecting gratitude for killing the Mountain Man because he wouldn't be the only person dying.

We parted from the destroyed village and journeyed along with the wounded. My father rested on my back as I had Ares trod slowly until we reached both camps.

A guard had to slide him off and take him and Grounders to the infirmary to be treated. I tied Ares to a pole to eat and went into the communications center where Raven hugged Clarke and wasn't surprised that I was still alive.

"Wick and I are getting close to the counter acts of the acid fog," she informed us. "Once that is down, we'll be able to send a surge through the front entrance. It'll take one minute before the backup engines turn on but we should be inside by then." "Are you sure it's going to work?" Clarke asked. Raven scoffed that she had doubts but eventually nodded.

I turned, walking out of the room and across the common area. Clarke had caught up with my heavy pace and I paid no attention to her as we made it up the hill to the tents and entered the largest one.

"We should start marching towards Mount Weather," Clarke spoke before could part my lips. "Everything is lining up just the way we want." My head turned when the tent's cloth opened and Octavia barged in.

"I know what you did," she huffed, pointing at us. "You knew that there was going to be a missile but you didn't tell anyone." "I barely knew, that's why I got out on time and I returned to kill the man," I explained. Truthfully.

"All of sudden Clarke wants to become like Kane," she spoke. "It's not going to work out, there can't be two crazies and I don't think you'll make it. Better fix yourself and stay the 'good' guy." Octavia began to walk out. "You too Lexa, I know you were a part of it."

I looked at the two and slightly shrugged before leaving. It was dark as the warriors packed their things. I had gotten myself some food and crouched at an empty fire.

"You know I did what I had to do," Clarke spoke, sitting across from me. "Likewise," I said, eating. "You don't have to explain yourself to me, trying to form the words 'I'm sorry, I was doing it for my people.' So was I but no one seems to believe me, I'm too crazy to know what's right and wrong."

She stayed quiet so I could eat in peace. The fire was soothing and when I finished, I went for a walk. I needed to clear my head and looking beyond did the trick. Soon, it ended when I spotted Octavia in the distance, leaning on a tree. My eyes panned and I found a warrior, drawing an arrow.

I moved from my spot and stealthily approached them. From their position, I wrapped my arm around Ryker's neck and dragged him away from the second. He struggled in my right grasp and I kicked the weapons out of his hands before tying him to a tree, far away from everyone.

"What are you doing?" I huffed. I could see the fear taint his eyes and I knew he was going to spill. I had never done an interrogation but I needed to know his vendetta. He didn't have one.

"T-The Commander told me- heda told me to kill her," he stuttered. "She didn't want her telling everyone about Tondc or they'd hate her." I hummed.

I paced the space of my tent, slowly twirling my knife and waited for my assassin to come in. I turned when the cloth opened but it wasn't Ryker, it was Kane.
