*Lauren's pov*

I was locked in a heavy duty steel cage with 12 others. The men that took us did patrols of the area and had maps hanging on a wall in the distance. There was a table with restraints on it and the table was stained the colour of old blood. In that moment I wished for death. An instant death to hit me so I wouldn't have to suffer. A blonde haired girl beside me sat the calmest. Like she knew it was her turn to be taken. Like she mentally prepared for this. Her head turned to me and our eyes locked for a second before she broke the deafening silence.
"I'm Clarke," she said in a whisper as her eyes scanned over me.
"I'm Lauren," I replied in a hushed voice, hoping my fear wasn't traceable in it. "Do you know why we're here?" I asked, hopping she could enlighten me.
"Every few months the soldiers come and take people from the camp. They beat us and brainwash us until we loose ourselves. Until we are a shell of the person there once was. Once we've gone through the whole process they send us out to kill our people. They turn us into their soldiers," she says, emotion slowly taking over her face. "If I loose myself and kill my people I'll never be allowed back. Lexa will unlink us from marriage, no matter how much she doesn't want to she'll have to. It's what's right for our people."
"I can't turn on Camila either. The girls may forgive me one day but Camila would never look at me the same," a tear fell from my eyes but it quickly disappeared as men approached the cage. This was it. This was my end.

*Rusty's pov*

We where released from the cage once the men had gone and taken to Lexa's tent. It was parted into sections by pieces of hanging fabric and I could hear the distant muffled cries in what I presumed was her room. We were seated in the throne room and told to wait until the commander was ready. Camila was cuddled up into Ally as tears ran down her face repeatedly and I couldn't bare to imagine the pain she was feeling.

The fabric separating rooms moved aside and in came Commander Lexa. Her eyes were bloodshot and her black war paint was smudged out of shape. She walked past us and sat in her throne. Rage hummed in my bones, begging me to get my revenge for the torture but I knew better.
"I apologize for the treatment we put you through but fear is a powerful motivator," she said in a hushed tone before speaking up, " I have now discovered you don't belong to the soldiers as they never take their own."
"They've done this before?" Dinah asked, standing up abruptly. Lexa nodded yes in reply.
"Why?" I asked standing up to be beside Dinah.
"They torture them until they're brainwashed enough to turn against us. They normally take our scavengers but this time they took my beloved Clarke," she replied weakly as her eyes grew watery. Based on her body language she was uncomfortable with the display of vulnerability.
"They took my beloved Lauren," Camila said as she wiped the tears from her eyes and put on a strong front. Dinah, Normani, Ally and I looked at her in shock of calling Lauren her beloved.
"Then you'd be happy to stand against them to get her back?"
"I'd die for her," Camila replied strongly receiving a nod of approval from Lexa.

Important A/N
Don't be mad about how tiny this chapter is because it is a set up chapter for a small time jump that's going to occur. Future chapters will have flashbacks of the missed time, etc. This chapter is also getting posted early because I am going to release the next chapter on Australian Sunday like usual. The next chapter is hopefully going to come across as intense and be a good ready (hopefully).

I'd also like to take this time to thank everybody who is readying this (and hopefully enjoying it). I've always wanted to make a 5H/The 100 fanfic and once I came up with the plot, etc I became very excited about it and kept up a schedule of posting in the hopes that you enjoy the story as much as I am.

I also ship Camren and Clexa so much that breathing is hard when they interact and I almost die. (Especially with Clexa so far in season 3 like holy shit, the writers want me dead.)
