Emiko's pov

"Quiet, you can't even walk in the woods. At least your sister can move without cracking a stick or crunching leaves too loudly." Anya harshly whispers to Clarke as she drags us behind her. "If were such a burden, then cut us loose." Clarke replied back, still whispers. "Heavy foot falls, broken branches, you even smell like them." Anya says more aimed at Clarke but still at both of us as we climb up a small hill and bend down to watch the mountain men looking for us.

"Down. No," Anya tells Clarke as we stop by a small water stream as she tries to get a drink while I just sit there. "Not to drink."Then why stop, we should be running." Clarke asks, throwing the water in her hands down. Anya gets a handful of mud and smears it in Clarke's face. " You reek, cover yourselves in it." Anya tells us. "Clarke, listen to her now." I tell her covering myself in it, and she does the same right after.

_________________________________________

"How are they still following us." Clarke asks out of breath as we bend down and see the mountain men still right behind us as we get to the top of a hill. "Because of you, time to end this." Anya, we're stepping where you step, were covered in mud, were not leaving a trail." Clarke says, rushing to say to stop anya before she goes to hit her, not that I would let Clarke get hit. "There following something."

"There not following us, they're tracking us. Search yourself. If im right, it should feel like a small bump just under your skin." Clarke tells us, and we start looking, and Anya finds it in her arm. It's you, okay, I can remove it, I-I just need you to untie my hands. I just need something sharp and sterile." Clarke says, trying to reason with her, but anya just leans down and bites it out of her arm. "I will not go back there." Anya states with a little venom in her voice.

As we walk by a stream, Clarke yanks her hands back, and anya stops. "Anya, you're still bleeding. At least let me bandage if before it gets infected." Clarke says seemingly genuine, but I saw her grab the dart. As Anya looks down, Clarke stabs the dart into her neck, and she falls unconscious. "We can find our own way home from here." Clarke mumbles as we untie our hands, and Clarke ties Anya's. "Looks like you're our prisoner now."

"Clarke, take this cloth and bandage her arm before we start heading off again." I tell her, giving her a piece of cloth from my pocket.

_________________________________________

Once we get to the dropship, me dragging anya on a makeshift stretcher and Clarke in front of us, we stop. Clarke heads to look at the wall of the dropship   to see her's and my name on it faded. I look back to see anya waking up. "Clarke, get in the dropship, now. " I tell her ready to protect my sister. All she does is get back as anya stumbles towards me. "Anya, we don't have to fight." That's all I get out before she swings, and I dodge. As I land a hit and she lands one back, Clarke yells 'hey' trying to stop it, but it's no use. We head for each other again and I go full force at her and she does the same, eventually she gets me to the ground and as she goes to stab me with the knife found half way through the fight I dig my finger into the wound on her arm making her stop and give me the time to flip us as I hit her in the head with a rock. I then punch her until she's about to fall unconscious.

Me and Clarke look up to see a balloon most likely from our people, and i stand."You fought well." Anya tells me before sinking back worn out. "Do you see that? You lied, and our people are out there." Clarke tells her, coming to stand beside me.

By the time we get to the clearing where our people are, it's dark. "Look at that." "How many are there."

"I don't know, a lot, I hope." Clarke replies. I turn and untie anya's hands "Im letting you go, were not weak, but we're not like you, our only chance against mount weather is if we fight together, to beat them well need our technology and your knowledge of this world. I know our people will help, the question is will yours." I ask her as I finish with untying her hands.

"You're a lot more like us than you think Emiko kom skaikru your different from your people, the commander was my second I can get an audience." She finishes, and we bring our arms together in an agreement. "Please hurry." I mumble as she turns. Then we here gun shots and anya falls both me and Clarke run to her while Clarke also gets hit.

We try to stop the bleeding, but I know she will die if I don't help. Hey, hey, hey. No,no ,no," Clarke repeats. "Clarke, stop your own bleeding now. I will help her."
"No, you can't, nobody can know, our mother doesn't even know I only do." Clarke listen carefully I am going to take her to the cave we passed and help her you will stay here and they will come find you, when you get found tell them I passed out a little while back and they will come looking I'll be there but I have to save anya first, promise me this Clarke promise me." I say while still trying to keep Anya from bleeding to death, stopping it mostly. Clarke nods her head yes, sitting back, stopping her own bleeding arm. "I promise please Emiko come back, you're my big sister."

"I will, I always do, don't i?" I pick anya up with little ateugle and head to the cave.

_________________________________________

"Anya look at me im going to save you but promise me you won't tell anyone how promise me." I beg a little as I set her down on the floor of the cave, moving her jacket to see the wound. "Ai gonplei ste odon" "No onya ai will nou teik yu die, remember osir had an agreement" I tell her in what I know of her own language. "Okay, this might hurt a little," I says starting to heal her wounds. As the skin regrows and comes together, she groans in pain and tries to move, but I keep her in place. Once done, she just stares at the roof of the cave.

"How did you do that, and how do you know trigedasleng." She asks, sounding a little scared but also curious and amazed. "I was born with it, and I was locked up for longer than Clarke was, so I had a lot of time to learn many things." "Anya you can't tell anyone, the only people who know is Clarke and you now not even my own people know. Please promise me." "Ok I promise that I will keep your secret Emiko kom skaikru." She promises trying to sit up "I can only heal it doesn't mean It won't hurt for a couple days you still need rest, here is some berries you can eat these and get water from the stream right outside." I hand her the berries and stand. "I expect your people will be here to kill us all since you can't get back yet to tell them about the mountain. I have to get back. I will somehow talk to your commander and tell her about you, and maybe you can convince her if I bring her here."

"Here she will recognise this bracelet," she tells me, taking it off of her ankle and handing it to me. "She will know it's from me that will help." "Thank you anya, I will be back." No, thank you, Emiko. I owe you my life." I nod before going away from the cave so she won't be found and wait to be found by my people.

Sorry, it literally took almost 7 months, but I lost inspiration and had some writers block and didn't have the energy and had a lot of family things going on when I went to write it.
