*Lexa Pov*

I couldn't stop myself from pacing back and forth, occasionally looking up at Clarke. We'll the new Clarke. Abby and Lincoln had came into the tent after tending to Rusty and for the whole night they have been poking and prodding at her, in the hopes that an answer will soon come. I turned to continue my pacing back across the room when I heard the sudden sound of ripping fabric. My head snapped towards Clarke and I realized that Abby had ripped the sleeve of her shirt open to reveal needle makes on her inner elbow.
"What's this?" I asked as I rushed towards her.
"For a while I thought that maybe she had been forced to swallow a drug but after doing tests I discovered it's a drug that enters the body in liquid form. The most effective way for a liquid drug to work is in needle form. We just need to drain it out of her system, which is already happening and causing her aggressive behavior. It's withdrawal," Abby said, explaining the whole process she'd gone through.
"Will she live?" I asked in fear as I met eyes with golden eyed Clarke.
"If we keep an eye on her and keep her hydrated then it's very likely she'll live," Abby said with hope, "she needs to live," she whispered out as she clutched the old wedding ring that hung from a necklace around her neck.

*Clarke POV*
~Flashback~

My hands shook as I looked at the boy before me. He was so young and yet the soldiers decided to take him anyway and turn him into this. I refused to fight him, letting him hit me repeatedly until he kicked my legs out from under me and won the practice battle. The leader of the soldiers allowed the boy to return to his room before dragging me back to the cage. Only 5 of us remained. We were the only ones left who hadn't been beaten into a brainwashed state.

I was thrown in before the door squeaked the uncomfortable sound of metal rubbing together. I made my way to Lauren and sat beside her allowing her head to rest on my shoulder.
"Do you miss Lexa?" She whispered out after a while of silence.
"More then the sun misses the moon," I replied as I stroked her hair gently, "what about you? Do you miss somebody?"
"I miss Camila," Lauren said in a soft, pained voice, "I fear I'll die and never have the chance to tell her that I want to be with her. That I'm falling for her."
"You'll make it Lauren, we both will," I said before the squeaking of metal happened again and Lauren was ripped from my side. I saw her get bragged into a different room to usual. A new method perhaps, I thought as I heard Lauren's distant and pained screams that I could do anything about until she returned to the cage.

~End Flashback~
Judging by the light it was early morning. My Mother and Lincoln had finally left and yet Lexa still paced. It was driving me crazy. I wanted to speak, to let her know everything would get better. Ever since they did this to me, ever since they locked me into the cage of my own head I couldn't speak. I couldn't even move for myself. I could scream though but they were just wordless, angry sounding screams. Every time I attempted to scream a scream of help it came out angry again. Whatever they did to me seeped deep within my veins and I couldn't get it out.

All the sudden my body began to shake and I noticed a panicked look on Lexa's face as something began to run down my face. Lexa exited the tent before quickly returning with Abby and some fabric to wipe my face.
"Don't die on me Clarke," her voice was desperate as she wiped my face, "I need you," tears fell from her eyes and I felt a needle enter my arm and calm my violent shakes. Soon my body was still and I became drowsy.
"What did you do?" I heard Lexa say angrily, "she's already been poked and prodded enough!"
"Nothing bad," Abby replied," it'll stop the....." My mums voice cut off as my eyes shut and I felt my head dip towards the ground.

*Dinah's POV*
I hadn't moved in hours. Pins and needles had consumed my body as I gripped Rusty's hand firmly. This isn't the end. It can't be the end. Her face was paler then normal, pale enough that the light freckles over her nose stood out more. They were like little stars in the night sky reflected on her skin. I finally found the strength to move but only enough to bring my free hand forward and connect the freckles with imaginary lines traced with my finger.

I was ripped from my small world of piece when I could hear the distant pleas of Lexa.
"Don't do this to me Clarke!" She screamed in a pained voice. I lent forward to leave a soft kiss on Rusty's forehead before rushing off to Lexa's tent. I pulled back the thick door and was met with a weird stench, that's when I noticed a weird yellow substance running down Clarke's face. Her head was bowed down as the substance dripped from her face creating a golden shine on the floor.
"What is that?" I asked before I even had a chance to process the words.
"I don't know," Abby's voice was strained and distressed. We stood there for about half an hour wiping Clarke's face, calming Lexa and trying everything possible to help her.

With a loud, painful scream Clarke came back to us. The screams continued as her body shook and she tried to move forward but was held back by the restraints. She opened her eyes to reveal the golden glow but is was getting duller and her light blue eyes were starting to make their way through. Her eyes were pleading with us. They begged us to help her. To save her. With one final scream her eyes began to leak the golden colour before sliding shut, her body hitting the floor.
"Clarke!" Lexa shouted through tears and lunged forward to hold her. Abby fell to the floor in tears.

As I was about to walk forward and hold Lexa I noticed Clarke's hand twitch slightly before it took ahold of Lexa's arm and squeezed. I felt a rush go through me. A strong rush of relief as her eyes open and revealed a deep blue as they stared up into Lexa's. She was alive. She was back. She was ours.

A/N
Yes I'm aware it's not Sunday but after the horrible events of The 100 episode 3x07 this is the only thing that made me feel a little better and not like I was going to die of heart break. I hope it makes you feel better for a second as well, no matter what it is that's breaking you.
