Clarke's POV:
Everyday for the past five years I've woken up in fear. Fear that something terrible would happen to us. Then I mean Octavia and I. Wherever we go, we aren't safe at all. And that scares me. We have never been able to go home. If we did go home it would mean danger. I would put both Octavia and the rest of my people in danger. Five years ago there were a big conflict and fight between my people and the grounders. It had been going on for weeks. Bellamy and I made sure that everyone was ready to fight if it came to that. From nowhere we had to fight in a battle. There had been an explosion in the middle of the battle. After that I never saw my people again.

I had been taken by grounders and put in a cave. I don't remember for how long I had been there. One day I was lucky enough to get out of there. Or I thought I was. The grounders moved me to another camp where I had to work. They used me as there slave for almost everything. It wasn't the best time of my life. But I managed to keep a straight face and get through the days.

Within a couple of weeks I was pregnant with a grounders child against my will. Nine months later I had a baby girl. I named her after my best friends little sister. She got the name Octavia Madilyn Griffin. Usually I called her just Tavia. If not it would just remind me to much of Bellamy, Octavia and the rest of my people. We lived with the grounders for the two past year. I got a much better life then since I had a grounders child. That meant that I had been gone for almost three years from my people.

When I was pregnant with Octavia I had been trying to escape. Against my luck they found me sneaking out and I was punished. After that I tried to escape three more times with a couple months between the escapes. It didn't woke that well. But two years ago when most of the people in the camp where out hunting, a girl around the age seventeen helped me escape with Octavia. This time we actually did escape. But before we ran away from the camp, the girl named Chloe told me that I couldn't go back to my people. If I did, the grounders might attack them and I don't exactly know what would happen.

That meant that Octavia and I were on our own. So for the past two years I have been raising my daughter on my own while trying to stay alive and away from trouble. But now, five years later after I disappered from my people in the battle, I was in despret need of help. And I couldn't do anything. Even if I have been raising Octavia how to survive here, even if she is only four years old now, I can't keep her safe. I had learned her some of the grounders language, trigedasleng. I thought that she might have some use of it id something happens.

But now when I was in despret need of help I needed to depened on my daughter. But I was scared to lose her. After all she is my daughter and I knew that she was strong and stubborn just like me.
