chapter thirty-one, I told you
--
CLARKE AND NOVA LIE AT THE EDGE OF THE LAKE, hand in hand, gasping for breath after escaping Mount Weather. Anya drags them both to the shore, her strength unwavering despite their struggles. Nova coughs up water, releasing Clarke's hand to clutch her chest, her breath ragged. She glances at Clarke, who is also catching her breath, then turns her gaze to Anya, who sits on a nearby rock.
Nova struggles to her feet, pushing her drenched hair behind her ear. "Thank you," she says to Anya, her voice strained but sincere.
"Thank you," Clarke echoes, attempting to stand. "I think we should go back to the dropship first. So I can see if my-" Her sentence is cut short as Anya suddenly strikes her with a rock, knocking her out cold.
"Hey!" Nova screams, rushing toward Anya. She ducks under another swing of the rock and punches Anya in the face, sending her sprawling. Anya retaliates swiftly, sweeping Nova's legs out from under her and sending her crashing to the ground.
Groaning in pain, Nova feels Anya twist her arms behind her back, binding her hands tightly. Anya does the same to Clarke, tying their hands together.
"We're not going back to your dropship," Anya declares coldly. "You burned 300 of my warriors. I can't show my face without a prize." She forces Nova to her feet and drags a half-conscious Clarke behind her, marching them both into an uncertain and perilous future.

CLARKE, NOVA, AND ANYA ARE WALKING THROUGH THE WOODS. Anya has Clarke tied up to her and Nova's arms tied behind her back as she walks in front of them.
"Anya, we've been walking for hours. Where are we going?" Clarke begs as she follows Anya and watches her push Nova every now and then. "Why not just kill us and get it over with?" Nova asks as she starts to feel her wrist start to hurt.
"You two can tell the commander what the mountain men are doing to us in there" Anya answers still walking and dragging Clarke along. "So, let's work together. We don't have to be enemies" Clarke suggest and Anya scoffs back in disbelief as if that's not an option.
"And unite with someone as weak as you? I don't think so" Anya states as Nova stops in place.
"Hey, move it" Anya demands and Nova turns to Anya. "Untie me!" Nova begged softly.
Anya shook her head until she heard a sound in the distance. "Mountain men" Nova stated quietly enough so Clarke and Anya could hear her. Anya then looked to Nova before pushing her and Clarke behind a tree.
