What If She Didn't Die?

Bardo Part 2

"Wait, I recognize her. She's the key" a guard would say in a corner of the room. Murmurs were heard throughout the room now as they tried to figure out what to do next. They couldn't hurt the two women so they knew they were safe.

They ultimately decided to et a man they all called the shepherd. They would leave the group in the room alone. Clarke would hug Lexa tightly as Lexa swayed them a little, trying her best to comfort Clarke.

"Watch the door." Lexa would state in a calm manner as she rubbed Clarkes back in circles. "I'm so sorry Clarke." she would whisper to her partner. "I know how much he meant to you." she looks over at Raven who was staring at the couple. "We do this for him." she would finally state.

The door opens and Clarke quickly pulls away from Lexa but doesn't let go of one of her hands. She squeezes it nervously. The blonde watches an older man walk in and a door close behind him, however, Clarke recognizes the man but before she is able to say anything he introduces himself.

"Im the Sheperd, but you can call me Bill. you must be Clarke, Lexa, Raven, Jordan, and Miller. I have heard so much about you."

Lexa would look over at Clarke and ask the blonde in trig how and why he knows who they are only to be interrupted by him.

"That sounds familiar, it's the fake language my daughter made up when she was a kid." he chuckles "I'm surprised it even came all this way, to be honest." he watches as the group stiffens when he speaks. "And I can assure you that we are not a cult." he would add.

"What do you want from us." Lexa would say in a low growl. She didn't like where this was going at all. She squeezes Clarkes' hand tightly.

"Is she in the Flame? The key? I figured since the language survived all this time." Bill would ask. "My daughter made that as a kid. Is Coliapy in there?" he would take a step towards Leaxa and Clarke causing the two to step back from the man.

Lexa would nod a little not saying anything at first. "Yes, she is in the flame." she points the gun at his head. "Now where are our friends."

Bill looks at Gabriel, who is now opening the door. When the door opens Octavia, Echo, and Dieoza all walk in holding helmets. They watch their friend lower the gun slightly.

The look of sadness and melancholy on her face tells them everything, the shock that they were on their side now saddened her. Clarke and the others felt the same but the betrayal in each of their eyes told everything.

"You better let them go." Lexa states in a harsh lown tone. She just looked at her friends that were just standing there not saying anything or doing anything. They seemed almost, robotic.

"Oh, I'm not holding them here. They are free to go whenever they want, but, I will let them go if you help me." Bill would reply to Lexa.

Lexa looks at Clarke who is nodding a little, she looks back at Bill. "okay we will help." she puts the gun down and watches as he turns to tel there friends that they are free to go. They don't move though.

"They arent going anywhere, and you arent either. We still have one last war to fight." "Bill would say with a smile.

"What the hell did you do to them?" the brunette would ask as she aimed the gun at the man again.

"They are going to serve mankind in the last war, which we can finally do now that you and Clarke have arrived." Bill would explain. He seemed strangely happy about this though. "Guards can leave these people are no threat," he says as turning his head slightly before looking back at the group as the guards leave. The door shuts behind him but Lexa, Clarke, and the others all make him get against the wall.
