  "She is to be protected! No one will have access to this knowledge if they do not wish to pay with their life!" Luna says as two healers surround a bed that Lexa had been laying on.

Luna had been made known of Lexa's condition when a healer she had been seeking was asked for in the commanders chambers. She had followed, lurked, and observed to knew exactly when and how to make her move.

"Give her something that will keep her asleep for the next few hours. She does not deserve to feel the pain." Luna insists and they listen as if their life depended on it, because it did.

With that the healers had done their job and were on their way out when Luna had a sudden change of heart as she grabs onto her sword and swiftly slices into one of their necks and plunges the others heart. Watching their bodies fall to the ground she whispers, "Yu gonplei ste odon."

Within a few hours, Lexa had finally woken in a panic. The feeling of her stomach stopping her from getting up.

She quickly spots Luna and her eyes go wide. "Luna?" She mumbles confused and Luna rushes over to her.

"I am glad you are awake. We have a lot to discuss" Luna says looking down at the weak commander.

"Where is Clarke?" Lexa asks panicking.

"Clarke will be okay, but I need you." Luna says softly and Lexa creases her eyebrows.

"You owe me a favor and this is me following up on that. I have a nightblood that needs your guidance." Luna begins and Lexa looks to her with concern. What the hell is she talking about right now?

"War is brewing yes but the end of the world as we know it is near."

"What are you talking about?" Lexa asks and Luna looks to her apologetically.

"You are no longer the commander Lexa. You are to guide my child as your own and seek peace when the end comes. Nightblood will protect you both but I however am not strong enough to continue this fight. I no longer wish to see the outcome of this life." Luna admits and Lexa shakes her head. "Luna I cannot-"

"You will." She stops Lexa before she even begins to talk.

"And in return I vow to make sure Clarke lives on and you shall be reunited with her." Luna says and Lexa worries, her weakness for Clarke has become known and she nor herself are safe.

Weakness is not a good look for commanders. If the clans see her weakness they will try to rid her of it. She cannot allow anything bad to happen to her dear Clarke.

If there is one person who she trusts to protect her from such a fate it is Luna. "I need to see Clarke." Lexa insists and Luna shakes her head.

"You are declared dead among the clans. The ascension has begun you're no longer safe inside these walls." Luna tells her and Lexa's eyes fill with rage.

"Lexa please. Trust me. You have no other choice.." Luna says and glances at Lexa's hands tied onto the bed as well as her legs.

If Lexa hadn't been in so much pain she would've noticed right away but because she is she had paid no attention to the restraints holding her down.

"No, I can't leave my people. I cannot trust another with Clarke's life. You are to let me go now!" Lexa shouts pain surging through her body but she ignores it.

"I can't do that.." Luna mumbles shaking her head and with that walks out of the small room she had been keeping her in.

She will keep her there until she can manage to escape with her and bring her somewhere safe.
