(This chapter is a bit longer sorry for the Clexa meeting build up. But I need this relationship for the rest to work)
Clarkes POV
"Can you atleast tell me your name?" We had been attacked but luckily with Raven's brains and people's efforts we had won. We killed all except for one. She doesn't seem like much of a talker, she has high cheekbones and black paint around her eyes she seemed to be the leader of the army that attacked us. We hadn't come across any problems with the grounders apart from the occasional run-ins while hunting other than that we had been left alone and we did nothing to attract attention.
I stepped out of the 'interrogation room' (which was a cell with a tied up woman)
"Did you get anything out of her?" My mom asked with Kane, Bellamy, and Octavia beside her
"No she doesn't seem to want to talk to the people who just exploded her army"
"Maybe we should find other ways to get information out of her" Octavia said and with a suggested look they all looked at each other to see who agreed
"We're. not. grounders" I said as I looked everyone in the eyes to make sure they understood torture was not how I planned to do this
"I'll try again in a moment. I am the only one who is to talk to her and only one to go into her cell are we understood?" my mom looked at me like she didn't recognize me, I don't blame her sometimes I don't recognize me. They all mumbled their yes and i left.

"Hey I brought you some food maybe we can eat together?" she just stared at me
"Woah calm down you're too excited" I laughed a little at my own joke but I was shut up when the grounder spoke
"How can you laugh so soon when you've killed so many? Those deaths are on your conscience" I felt my eyes prickling, I had distracted myself kept myself busy to not think about this. I did what I had to do for my people
"They're deaths don't only lay on my conscious they lay in yours too" that's the last thing I said for that night.
---
I woke up determined to get her to talk today. She talked to me yesterday maybe she'd open up a little more and by open up I mean at least share her name.
"Good morning sunshine" I said as I walked into her cell but my mood dropped when I saw blood on the floor. I went to check her body to find the source of the blood she flinched away from my touch but I kept searching
"Did somebody else come in here? Did someone hurt you last night? Where's your wound?" she seemed a little taken back by my concern but she recovered fast and flinched away
"Don't touch me sky girl" she spat out
"Listen if you don't let me treat your wounds then it'll get infected, you'll get sick, and you'll die. If you die then you can't take the revenge you want for your people"
"Heda will take revenge either way"
"Who's Heda? You know what we'll worry about that in a bit can I treat your wounds?" she didn't reply all she did was nod.
She had a shot wound in the side of her stomach it hadn't touched any arteries but it had gotten slightly infected.
"You are a healer?" she said as I started the treatment on her wound
"Well my mom is a healer I just kinda picked up on some stuff" she nodded and there was silence apart from the occasional winces
"Hey, you know I did it for my people" I said as last nights lingered in my my mind "I know their deaths are my fault but I made a choice and although it isn't one you can call honorable it's the choice I had to make for my people. I feel like you understand that. A lot of people here don't" Nither of us said another word. I was on my way out after I was done tending to her wound
"Anya. I am Anya Kom Trikru" I smiled at her
"Nice to meet you Anya, I'm Clarke"
---
Next morning I felt more accomplished then ever. I was even kind of looking forward to seeing Anya. I was almost to the cell when Bellamy came running to me
"She's gone Clarke, we've looked everywhere. She's gone"
