From The Ashes We Will Rise

Alliance

Hey guys! This one will have different POVs 

POV 3rd Person

After Anya and Clarke escaped the reaper tunnels and after a bit of back and forth of who's prisoner, they make it to the Ark. "You can't go in. I don't know what they will do" Clarke says and Anya nods. "Please tell your commander about what we agreed on. We need to work together to save all of our people." Clarke says and Anya nods. "I will get your message to the commander. She will help you after I tell her who's in there" Anya mumbled the last part. Clarke nods and as they shake arms a gunshot is heard hitting Anya making her groan out. "Anya!" Clarke shouts running up to her. "I'm fine it is just a graze" she says but another shot is hears hitting Clarke in her shoulder making her cry out in pain. "Go! Tell the commander" Clarke says making Anya nod and run off before the guards come. Clarke reunites with her people telling them about the alliance that is going to happen. All while Anya makes her way to Polis to inform Lexa of the plan and that Alex is alive. 

POV Anya

I can't believe Alex is alive. I really though she was dead. I've made peace with it, but now here she is alive. She was in Ice Nation being tortured for years now she's in the mountain. I shouldn't have given up. I should've let Lexa keep searching for her. I blocked out my feelings, but when she called me mother... I've never wanted anything more then to just hold her. Cry, laugh, everything and anything. I never saw myself as a mother. Never thought I could be one. I am too cold to care for a young child, but somehow that little girl. My little bird flew her way into my heart and I just wish I showed her my lover for her better. I always loved her. That is why I was so hard on her even more so then Lexa. She had no one and when I saw her in Nyko's tent all alone... All I wanted was to wrap her up and hold her but that was weak, so I just watched over her. Shadowed her and Nyko let him teach and care for her. I did step in and help when he couldn't that is how Lexa and her met. I would bring her along to training when her could walk. Lexa and her are the same age so they would sit together and play, talk, train. They would do everything together. I always knew they would be great friends, they would help each other. Make each other better. It broke Lexa when she was missing. She's still broken. She turned emotionalist even more so after Costia.

I sigh looking up seeing Poli's gates come into view. I've been walking for a day only resting once since I'm still weak from everything. My wound I cauterized so it's not bleeding anymore. I reach the gates and the guards yell for it to be open and I nod my head making my way to the tower straight for Lexa. "Onya? Osir thought yu were stedauon. Where don yu been?" (We though you died. Where have you been?) Indra asks walking up to me as I exit the elevator. "The maun" I say, and she gasps. "No won escapes" (No one escapes) she says, and I nod. "The Skai Girl Clarke en ai got out. Ai need kom speak kom heda" (The sky girl, Clarke and I got out. I need to speak to Heda) I say, and she nods following me into the throne room. We walk up to the large throne doors and the guards nod letting both of us in. As the doors open heda sitting on her throne talking with Gustus, but as we walk further in her head snaps up and she widens her eyes for a brief seconded before masking her face again. "Onya...?" She asks confused like she thought I had died. "Where were you?" She asks as she come to a standstill. "Heda." I bow my head slightly in respect. "I come from the Maun." I say and she looks at Indra then back at me confused. "How?" She asks sitting straighter. "The Sky Girl, Clarke. She helped me escape. We went to her camp, but they shot at us." I say bringing a hand to my side and her eyes follow. A look of concern crosses her face. "She told me to go, give you a message." I tell her. "And what is that message?" She asks intrigued. "They want an alliance. Our help in getting both of our people out of the Maun." I say and Indra scuffs. "They would say anything. You surely don't believe them Onya?" Indra asks and I shrug slightly. Lexa waves her hand for me to continue. "Our people are in cages. They are bleeding them dry Lexa, so many innocents. I believe if we work together with Clarke, the sky people, we can get them out." I say and she nods seeming to be in thought. "No, heda please. We can march ourselves. We can't trust the sky people!" Indra tries but Lexa looks at me. "The Maun has technology we don't stand a chance against. With the sky people we have a chance to get our people heda." I say and she nods slightly. "How do we know Clarke will keep her end of the bargain?" She asks, "How do we know her people will follow?" She continues and I sigh. "We don't" I say simply and Indra scoffs. "You have been unusually quiet Gustus. What do you think?" She asks him. "I don't think we can trust them Heda" he says, and I sigh not wanting to use this card, but I will. I will not lose Alex again. "Then it is decided..." She starts but I cut her off. "Alex is alive. She's in the maun." I say and all the eyes snap towards me. Lexa's eyes wide and fearful. "What...?" She asks quietly. "Alex. She is alive, I saw her. Talked to her. She has been Queen Nia's prisoner." I say and she gasps quietly. Indra looks away sorrow over her face at the mention of her name. "Heda, this doesn't change..." Gustus tries but she raises her hand. "Leave us. Now" she says to him. He hesitates slightly but leaves Indra, her and I in the throne room. Her body slumps and she brings a hand to her face. "How..." She tries but stops. Trying to hold back tears. "Ice Nation captured her. They were responsible for the attack and burning... not Alex." I say quietly. For so long we thought it was her who set the village on fire. She would set small things on fire from time to time. She would have nightmares or when she got overwhelmed. We blamed her for something that she didn't do, yet another thing I failed her at. "She was tortured. 10 years the Queen tortured her. She said she wanted her power, her destiny of destruction. That is what the maun want. Lexa... she never broke, she could have to stop the pain, but she never did. She is strong but we don't have a lot of time the maun... they have stronger methods and even she cannot withstand them for long." I say and she nods. "Send a ridder to the sky people's camp, we leave at first light." She says and I nod. Indra and I go to walk out but she stops me. I look at Indra and she nods walking out leaving only Lexa and I. "How is she?" She asks venerably tears threatening to escape her eyes. I walk up to her slowly. "She is different. A lot of pain in her eyes. A lot of scars on her body." I say and she lets a soft sob out. I walk closer kneeling right in front of her, grabbing her hand. She looks at me and I give her a soft smile which breaks her. Her tears fall and her body crashes into mine. I bite my lip from the pain in my side but ignore it hugging her tight. "We will get her back" I say softly but firm and she nods backing away as I help her stand. "Let's get our people back" I say, and she nods wiping her eyes and standing taller.
