IVY JOGGED TOWARD THE FOLDS OF THE TENT. As soon as Lexa told her that she was allowed to see Clarke, she did not waste any time. She stepped inside to see the blonde girl sitting on a bed, and her hands were covered in blood that she was desperately trying to wipe off on any surface available. She looked up and breathed out a sigh of relief as the Bishop girl ran over to her.

"They would've tortured him. I had to. I — I had to. I had to," she sobbed out, leaning into Ivy's chest when she wrapped her arms around her. Tears soaked her tank top as she ran her hand over the girl's hair, trying to comfort her. "What did I do?"

"Hey, it's okay. It's okay," the redheaded girl soothed, assuring her that she did not blame her for what she did. She saved Finn from a lot of suffering, and they all knew that he was grateful for that. She did what she had to, like she had always done.

Footsteps approaching caused both of them to look up and see Gustus, a Grounder, entering the tent. "The Commander is ready to talk." He shot Ivy a pointed look, indicating that she should get the hell out, as Kane, Abby, and Lexa all entered the tent. "Privately."

"I'll see you soon," the Bishop girl assured her friend, and Clarke nodded, squeezing the girl's hand gratefully as she left. As soon as she got out, she ran over to Bellamy who was standing a bit away to explain to him the little information she knew about what happened.

After that was done, the Grounders along with the 'Sky People,' as they had been labeled, began walking to Tondc to discuss their alliance and their attack on the mountain men to get their friends back. Ivy and Bellamy were walking together, a bit uneasy about the amount of people around them that had tried to kill them before. The Blake man spoke up. "I was thinking about something earlier while everything was happening."

"You were thinking? There's a rare occurrence," she joked, and when he shot her a look, she shook her head and looked back down at the ground because the mood around them was very solemn. "Sorry, I don't do so well in sad situations."

"It's okay. Anyway, I'm not a huge fan of this alliance, and I really don't think it's going to help us all that much when we're fighting Mount Weather," he whispered, glancing around to make sure that no one was listening because if one Grounder heard about his doubt, it could cause everything they had sacrificed for to come tumbling down.
