Lincoln had saved them.
I watched as they ran,
Ran to the Reaper tunnels.
I made sure
Tristan
And Anya
Were far behind,
Before chasing them.
By the looks
Of it,
They
Were going to
Attack
The Sky People
Camp.
Tristan's scouts
Were already
On the run.
I managed to catch
Up
To Spacewalker
And Clarke.
"Lance?"
Lincoln asked,
As soon
As he saw me.
I nodded briefly.
"I'm
Sorry."
I mumbled to
Clarke,
Quietly.
She seemed to
Understand
Why I
Had run,
But didn't
Want to
Say anything.
She simply
Nodded.
It wasn't until we got
Into the Reaper
Tunnels,
That Anya
Shot at us.
"Lincoln!"
She screeched,
And I was glad
She hadn't
Recognized me.
Because if
She had,
I'd be
Dead,
And all hopes
Of becoming a Second
Would have
Gone
Down the drain.
We stopped
Running,
For Clarke
To fix Lincoln's arrow
Wound.
"You might
Want to
Bite down
On something."
She warned him.
Lincoln and I
Exchanged eye rolls.
"You people
Are so
Soft-"
He was saying,
Before wincing,
As Clarke
Pulled out the arrow.
I turned to
Spacewalker,
For the first time,
His brown eyes
Shining with fear,
And his face
Covered with blood
And dirt.
"I thought
Something terrible
Happened
To you."
I mumbled
Into his shoulder,
As I hugged him.
I felt his arms
Wrap around me,
And hug me back.
His embrace
Was magic.
It made me feel,
Like everything bad
Was melting away.
Like my problems
Would ebb away,
If I just
Stayed
There
With
Him.
