Together with the Grounders, we make our way to Mount Weather. Clarke is running ahead of me, clearly still suffering from last night. I walk a little faster to catch up with her. "Hey, are you okay?" "Yeah." "You did the right thing." "Now I get to walk with it. You still think this truce is a bad idea." I look back at the grounders behind us and then back at Clarke.
"I think we're wasting time with our politics while our friends are in trouble." "We need their army to get to Mount Weather and you know it." "Their army has always been getting its arse kicked by Mount Weather. What we need is an insider. Someone to be our eyes and ears." She looks up at me and shakes her head. "Forget it. It's too dangerous." "Clarke, if you can make it out, I can make it in." "I said no."
"Since I'm not taking orders from you, I need a better reason." "I can't lose you, too. Agreed?" "And I can't lose Lillya."

We walk all day until it gets dark and we take a break to sleep. Everyone unpacks their tents and I see Clarke making himself comfortable on the Grounders' side. "Clarke, it's safer on our side." "We need to trust them, Bellamy." Clarke lies down, so I lie down not far from her.
I can hardly sleep that night and keep my eyes open to watch the Grounders.

As soon as the sun rises, our journey to Mount Weather continues and we first stop in front of a village of Grounders. "Weapons." The Grounders hold out a basket for us to put all our weapons in before we are allowed to enter the village. It takes me a while before I put my weapon in the basket, but I do. I just hope Clarke is right.
As soon as the people in the village see us, they start insulting and threatening us. The commander signals to her guardian to beat up the man who tried to stop us from entering. She turns round and speaks loudly to everyone. "The Sky people march with us now. Anyone who tries to stop that will pay with their life." A warm welcome.
We all gather in front of the 18 dead, as well as Finn. They are packed in sacks and after a long announcement from the Commander, she raises a torch. "Clarke." Clarke runs to her and picks up the torch. It takes her a while to start the fire and the bodies begin to burn.
After the fire goes out on its own, we go into a hall to eat with the Grounders. Kane unwraps a bottle of wiskey. "Please accept this gift, commander. We drink this on special occasions. I believe this qualifies." He hands it to her and her protector accepts it and hands it to her.
_____________________________________
"Thank you, Marcus of the Sky People." "You welcome, Lexa. Just drink, uh, don't too me of it." She turns her head to Clarke, who is standing next to me. "Clarke, let's drink together." "It would be my pleasure." A grounder brings two glasses and her guardian pours some of the Weasky into both. Lexa accepts it and hands one to Clarke.
"Heda, allow me." She hands the glass to her protector and he takes a sip to make sure we haven't poisoned it. He takes a sip and nods before handing it back to her. "Tonight, we celebrate our neefound peace. Tomorrow we plan our war. To those we've lost. And to those we shall soon find." She raises her glass and is about to drink when her protector falls onto the table and starts coughing. "It's poisend."
Chaos breaks out and I immediately knock the cup out of Clarke's hand. "I was the Sky people." They jerk out their guns and point them at us. I take a big step in front of Clarke and the others. Soe tries to push past me, but I won't let her. "This wasn't us. You have to know it wasn't us."
They start holding us. "No. No. We didn't do this." "Gustus warned me about you. I didn't listen." "Lexa please." "Tell me something, Clarke. When you plunged the knife into the heart of the boy you loved did you not wish that it was mine?"
"Heda." One of her Grounders shows a small vial of poison that he seems to have taken from Raven's jacket. "I'm telling you. That's not mine. He put it there when he searched me."
"No Sky Person leaves this room."
They lock us in and leave the hall.

They leave us locked up for a while before they come back. I walk in front of the others so that I'm first. "How's Gustus?" Lincoln. "Gustsus will leave." They come towards us and want to take Raven with them, so I stand in front of them. "She didn't poison anyone." "I argued for all of you to die. But the commander is merciful. She wants only one." Lincoln stands in front of Raven. "She's innocent." "I don't care. They live, they bleed."
Raven doesn't even fight back and just walks along with them as if she's already done with them. "The rest if you is free. When she's dead, so is the allinace. You should run."
Raven is tied to a post and everyone stands round. "I take no joy in this, Raven. But this time, justice will be done." Lexa runs to just in front of Raven. "I didn't do it. How is that justice." Lexa puts the knife on and I run forwards before I'm stopped by Kane. "We have to do something." A scream rings out as Lexa makes the first cut on Raven's arm. Another cut. And another.
Clarke comes out and walks in the direct direction of Raven. "Stop. What are you doing? You'll get yourself killed." She doesn't listen to me and keeps walking. "I need that bottle now. Stop." "Let her pass." They let Clarke pass and I follow her. "One of your people tried to kill you, Lexa, not one of mine. I can prove it." She takes the bottle Nyko has brought her and takes a big swig. "Explain." "The poison wasn't in the bottle. It was in the cup."
Everything suddenly makes sense in my head and I look at Gustus. "It was you. He tested the cup, he searched Raven." "Gustus would never harm me." "You weren't the target. The alliance was." "We didn't do this, and you know it."
_____________________________________
After they've tortured Gustus to death and we've freed Raven, we set up our tents as it's already getting dark. I sit around a campfire with Ocatvia and Lincoln, even though I didn't like him at first, I'm glad Octavia has him now. "How did you know it was Gustus?" "He would do anything for her. To protect her. It just makes sense."
"Guys." Raven runs to us and holds out her radio. "Forty-seven of us are trapped in Mount Weather. They took Harper with them." "Talk to him." "We don't know how much time we have left." "It's happening again."
"They're alive." My eyes widen. "We have to do it now. We have the Alliance, now we have to use it." "First we need an insider. You were right. Without someone on the inside to lower the defences and fend off the acid mist, an army is useless. You should go." "I thought you hated this plan. That I would get myself killed." "I was weak. It's worth the risk. My map of Mount Weather. Find a way to use the radio and talk to us. Good luck."
Clarke walks away and Octavia gives me a worried look. "Bell, how are you...?" "I can get you through the tunnels." I look at Lincoln in surprise.
