Alicia's Pov

"How do you know that name?" Abby asked, pacing around her bedroom. She didnt want to make a scene in the cafeteria so we resorted to the hotel room.

"I cant tell you, but i need you to tell me how you know the name" i said, i know it sounded kind of harsh, but i was sort of freaking out.

Abby sat down after a few moments and bit her lip. "David Lex was my ex husbend, we got a divorce just before i found out i was prenant. He was Clarkes father" she said.

I stared at her. "Do you think it may have been him who took El-Clarke" i said, quickly correcting myself.

Abby threw her hands in the air and shrugged. "I hope to god it wasnt him. I hope it was at least someone who took care of her" she said, tears once again streaming down her cheeks. "I just wish she was never taken from me" she said and i came closer, rubbing her back to calm her.

After a few minutes she finally stopped crying enough to get some words out. "Anyways" she said and wiped her face. "How do you know that name?" She asked.

I frowned. "I think i know your daughter..." i stated.

Abby looked at me. Her face a mixture of confusion and envy. "What? How? You...you said you lived in the states, Clarke was taken from a hostpital here in Ontario Canada" she said.

I nodded. "Your daughter found me. She came to the states and we met in the middle of a desert" i said softly.

Abby rose a hand to her mouth and covered her dropped jaw. "What...what was she like? Do you know a lot about her?" She asked, still shocked.

"She is very cautious about who she lets see her good side. She puts up a defensive front. But after you get past that she is the nicest person in the world" i said with a smile.

Abby smiled. "Whats she look like?" She asked.

I smiled at the thought of my beautiful girlfriend. "Well" i said. "She has beautiful long wavy blond hair that ends by her hips, and her eyes...god her eyes are the colour of the sky" i chuckled to myself. "She usually had it up in braids like mine" i said and felt the braids. "She actually did this for me, 1 year ago" i said.

Abby looked at me confused. "Wait what?" She asked. "1 year ago? But you were with Elyza and your brother 1 year ago" she said.

I nodded. "Abby...Elyza's name..." i stopped, unsure of how to tell her.

Abby shrugged. "What?" She pressed on.

I sighed. "Her name is Elyza Lex"

Elyza's Pov

"Hey" i said as i walked into the meeting room that was completly empty except for Nick who sat on one of the couches alone.

"Hey" he said and smiled at me. "How are you feeling?" He asked.

I nodded slightly as i sat down. "A lot better, your sister finally realized she was being stupid and came back to me"

He smirked. "I honestly never in my life thought that Alicia liked girls" he said.

I shrugged. "I guess i have that effect" i said with a wink.

He laughed. "Yeah well, i know she really loves you. You should have seen her the whole way to the border. She was a mess, didnt talk for days"

"Im gonna marry her someday" i said, staring at my hands.

"I know" he said.

I looked back up at him and smiled before i got to thinking about the bites that had led me into going into a coma.

"Alicia told me when i woke up, that it was a side effect of the bites that put me in the coma..." i said and looked at him.

He nodded. "Yeah, apparently the bites had some sort of venom or something, its the thing that makes other people turn when they get bitten" he said.

"Okay, but thoes bites were healed..." i said. "They had been healed for months, years"

Nick shrugged. "I have no clue Elyza. You should talk to Abby about it"

I nodded and stood up. "Yeah. Yeah your right" i said and began walking towards the doorway.

"Where are you going?!" He shouted from the couches.

"To talk to Abby!" I called back as i left the room. I walked over to the staircase and ran down them. The basment hallway was cold and i wrapped my arms around myself as i made my way through the door that led to the hotel rooms.

I slowly made my way to the hotel room numver five and let myself inside.

I stopped in my tracks when i saw Alicia hugging Abby who was sobbing and holding a baby picture.

They both pulled away from eachother and the both of them looked at me shocked.

Alicia seemed more surprised by my presence, but when i looked at Abby she was smiling, but sobbing at the same time.

I took a few steps closer. "Uh...whats going on?" I asked softly, super confused by what was happening here.

Abby looked at alicia, almost like she was asking for approval.

"Clarke..." she said as she stood up.

I looked at Alicia confused before looking back at Abby. "Nope...its Elyza" i said.

Abby shook her head as she made her way over so that she was standing right infront of my.

"No. Your name is Clarke Griffin" she whispered and handed me over the picture that she had been looking at.

I lifted up the picture, looking at the two of them super confused before i looked at the image on the paper.

My jaw dropped. It was me.
