WARNING: major character death mentioned
Backstory
Raven was one of clarke's closest friends growing up, the daughter of a senator who worked closely with Mr. Griffin in many years prior, all the time the parents spent working clarke and raven spent playing together in the mansion grounds, it was nice to hang around people the same age without being in the public's eye. For a while it was perfect until three years ago raven and clarke fell in love with the same boy, Finn collins. The collins family worked within a renowned group of politicians from scotland who had happened to travel down to london one summer on business. The girls had a horrible feud over the boy which resulted in raven flying off to france with finn to take a break from clarke and all the drama, accept they never came back.

clarke's pov
"Raven what are you doing here?" she asked
"same as you, they took me and I ended up here" raven croaked, sliding back down the bars of the cell and leaning her head against them.
"They're a terrorist organisation from what i've gathered, they'll want any top secret government information they can get their hands on or scandals that have happened to use as blackmail for hush money against politicians." the girl rambled.

"and finn? what happened to him, is he here too?" clarke asked, but regretted it as ravens eyes filled with i shed tears and her shoulders began to shake uncontrollably.
"f-finn's....he's gone, they killed him. When they worked out they wouldn't get much information out of me, they'd torture him instead until i gave them answers. B-but one night he..." she stopped to gasp for breath and wipe her runny nose on her worn jacket sleeve, " he bled out from his injuries and i couldn't save him" she slumped back against the cell partition and continued to weep.

Clarke opened her mouth, ready to console her old friend but was swiftly interrupted "they can't know we know each other clarke! they'll use our friendship against us like they did with me and finn" she whisper shouted while retreating back to the other side of her cell.

Alone once again clarke thought to herself. Soon after her first encounter in years with her former best friend raven, clarke's stomach started to rumble since she was inconveniently kidnapped before breakfast and boredom set in. She began to twist and pull on her shackled wrists above her head, the cold hard metal bit at her soft creamy skin to the point where it was rubbed red and raw, blood trickled down her arms as she continued to yank at the restraints.

Her efforts weren't wasted though as maybe 20 minuets later she squeezed her right hand out of the metal cuff and stood with one hand attached to the wall. Using her foot up against the wall she pushed away from it with all the weight and force she could muster in the hopes of freeing her other hand. She heard a small whining come from the metal hook on the wall before part of it snapped off of the wall, sending her tumbling backwards to the floor of her cell with the metal cuff and chain still attached to her left wrist but at least she was no longer attached to the wall, she smiled to herself at her small victory while rubbing her wrists and sore behind.
Okay cuffs off now what, she looked round the cell for her next course of action but then the light bulb above her flickered to life and she heard footsteps from down the corridor coming her way...
