A/N: Another chapter. Hope you enjoy.

Multiple horses trot through some trees into a slight clearing.

On one of the horses was me and Clarke. It was weird to be riding one but it wasn't bad at all.

I slow our horse down, raising my hand to the guards and grounders behind us. "We'll let them rest here. Catch our breath too." I get off it, crouching down to a puddle of water and filling a canteen.

Clarke gets off and walks next to me. "Y/N, why are we stopping?"

"You need to drink, too." I hold out my canteen.

"I'm fine. We're almost home."

"Clarke. Drink." I get the others' attention. "Our scouts patrol these woods. Grounders are probably hunting too. Just keep an eye out."

"They all listen to you." Clarke notices while taking a drink.

I shrug. "Lexa told the grounders to. Plus they're all scared of Anya."

The blonde manages a laugh but grows serious. "We shouldn't have stopped."

"Clarke, it's okay."

"Bellamy could be contacting us right now."

"Which means he made it. Raven's there. We'll talk to him at some point." I reassure, rubbing the horse's neck as it leans down to drink from the puddle. "We're no use dead."

Clark huffs. "Alright."

I walk around the horse about to talk to the guards until we hear a shot ring out, and a grounder close to me getting hit in the chest.

I flinch back, looking around. "Mountain Men. Get down! Clarke help him!" I jump onto the horse and toss Clarke her bag, which had some medical supplies from the grounders.

I ride towards where the shot came from, the horse running around trees to get to it.

Eventually we break through to see a cleared area with had a view of the path from above.

I see Indra with a grounder archer beside her, Slade holding down two Mountain Men, another man was dead by a sniper rifle with an arrow in his neck, and Octavia was about to slit a fourth man's neck.

"Don't!" I get off the horse.

"Y/N-"

"Get a patch kit, they're from Mount Weather. We can question them." I order.

Octavia headlines but searches the dead one's bags.

I hold the screaming man down. He had a tear in his suit and looked like he was being burned by radiation. I cover his tear. "Were you following us?"

He just keeps screaming in pain. "Hey! Were you following us!"

I pull out my handgun and aim at one of the one's Slade is holding down.

"Talk! Or you burn."

Slade presses a knife against one's arm. "I'd listen to him. It sounds like it'll hurt."

"Y/N!" Octavia yells.

"What?"

"You and Lexa were the main targets." She walks over to me, showing me a photograph seemingly taken outside of me, Lexa, Anya, and Clarke.

Clarke and Anya's faces had question marks above. But me and Lexa's were circled.

Indra speaks up. "We have to warn the commander." She orders the archer something in Trigedasleng.
