Here's an extra long chapter for you guys! Should make up for the lousy ones that lead up.

Clarke successfully made it to the camp, but Anya was dead and the guards mistook her for a Grounder.

"I need saline and a pressure dressing," Abby ordered Jackson.

"I'm on it," he responded.

She stroked her daughter's hair and cleaned away some of the blood and dirt staining her face. "Okay, honey-"

"I saw your ship crash," Clarke said.

"I wasn't on it. I'm right here."

Clarke winced when Abby brought a damp towel to her ear and mumbled a bit until Byrne came in.

"Is she all right?" Byrne asked.

"She will be," Abby responded.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. We had no idea who she was." She walked forward and turned to Clarke. "Where have you been?"

"Byrne..."

"Mount Weather," Clarke responded hoarsely.

"The Grounders took you to Mount Weather?" Byrne asked.

"No. The Mountain Men." She sat up. "We have to get them out."

"We're not doing this right now," Abby warned."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jackson and Byrne left and Clarke looked to her mother, saying, "Mom, did anyone else make it here?"

"Yes. Six of you did."

"Finn and Bellamy?"

She nodded.

"I thought they were dead." Tears began pooling in her eyes. "I thought you were dead." She began crying and blubbering, "I-I thought you were dead."

Abby quickly embraced her daughter in a hug and kissed her forehead. "Not me. I'm right here."

"I-is Kane alive?" she asked.

"Yes, Clarke."

She sobbed and cried, "Oh God! I left her there!"

"What? Clarke, honey, what's wrong?"

"I left them there. I left them all there a-and Aella. She came with me but s-she... Oh God! Mom, she told me to leave and get help a-and she'd stay to warn them. I listened! I was scared and I left her!"

"That's not your fault."

"I left her there. She's my friend and I left her there!"

Jasper walked into the president's office with questions on his mind and was glad Wallace called him up to talk.

"Thank you for coming," Wallace said, sitting at his desk. "I've been told you visit medical three or four times a day asking about Clarke." He stood up and walked towards Jasper, but stopped at the edge of his desk.

"Yeah," he admitted sheepishly. "No one will let me see her." 

"That's because she's no longer here. Clarke ran away. I tried to convince her that she was safe here, but she couldn't stop looking for enemies when she was among friends. I'm sorry." 

It took him a second to process, but the first thing he said was, "I don't mean to be disrespectful but Clarke wouldn't just abandon us." 

"I wish it wasn't the case."
