*back to Rusty*
I woke up to the world being upside down. I swung my body up to grab ahold of my legs and noticed I was hanging by a rope from a tree. I guess we aren't alone after all. I heard a groan beside me and swung to the side only to notice that the girls were hung up beside me and there were little huts surrounding us. It was like a small village made out of trees and animal skins. My head was pounding, partly from being hit and partly from hanging upside down for god knows how long. I heard a commotion in a tent ahead of me. It was the biggest tent in the village and I assumed it's either where they eat or where there leader stays. My questions were answered when two people emerged from the tent. They had black around there eyes and seemed to be in a heated argument about something. They glanced my way and froze when they noticed my prying blue eyes before lowering their voices to a pitch I struggled to hear and continuing.
"It's my choice Clarke," I heard the one dressed fully in black except for a small side cape of red say to the blonde.
"Well I do get a say," the blonde replied, "by marrying you I get half the decision," she moved closer to her and I barely heard the next words, "they are like my people, Lexa. I think we can trust them."
"And how do you know they are like your people," the one named Lexa replied and I could tell that she was slowly accepting Clarke's request because her body was less tense.
"I just know," Clarke said sure of herself.
"Let me get answers my way and I'll let them live if they are like you," Lexa suggested. Clarke seemed hesitant as if she knew how Lexa would get answers but sighed obviously thinking it's the best deal she'd get.
"Ok, but do it in private. I don't want to see what your men are capable off, not again," with that Clarke reentered the tent and Lexa nodded over at some men in another tent before making her way over to the group of us hanging from the trees. She pointed at Normani and said something in a language I didn't understand before the men cut her down and followed Lexa into another tent/hut with Normani in tow.
