Chapter song

I see fire by Ed Sheeran

Amara and Clarke sat on top of a mossy log in the middle of the forest while they ate on the bird that Amara had just shot. The two had never felt better, physically. Their bodies were finally nourished after the severe lack of food and water.

Once they finished their bird, the two hopped off of the mossy log and gathered their belongings before they began their hike around the green. The two hadn't  done too much talking after Clarke held a gun to her head. Frankly, they were too scared to.

Amara rounded a corner first, Clarke following behind her, and looked out at an open field of wildflowers and birds. She slowly walked towards them and her and Clarke gently ran their hands across the purple and pink flowers. The brunette continued walking and eventually ended up at a small pond. They dropped their belongings and stripped down before they dove into the water.

"We should gather some of this and keep it. We don't know when we will get water next." Amara spoke as the two surfaced from the water.

The two walked back over to their belongings and began to put their clothes back on. Amara filled up their two canteens with the water and placed them into Clarke's backpack. They continued on their walk around the forest in silence.

"I don't think I have ever been here before." Amara said as she two walked until there was a red sign up ahead.

"Me either." Clarke said before Amara walked passed her and towards the red sign.

"Louwoda Kliron Kru." (Shadow Valley Clan.) Amara uttered as her fingers gently ran across the tethered wood.

Hearing that name brought back many memories of when Lexa would tell her about all of the clans. Shadow Valley was known to Lexa as the most peaceful.

"This was one of the clans, wasn't it?" Clarke asked as she and Amara continued to walk into the small town.

"Yeah, it was. Until I won the Conclave and declared there be no more clans. Just Wonkru." Amara replied as the two looked around at the colorful things lying around.

"Do you think there are any survivors?" Clarke asked as the two looked around at the new place.

"No. Praimfaya jumped over the valley, but not the Radiation." Amara stated as she pointed to a dead young boy sitting on the stairs on a small building.

The two walked over to the dead boy and just stared at him. Clarke placed her hand to the top of his head, her heart aching for him. Amara slowly opened the wooden doors to a room full of dead people.

Amara sat in a hanging chair in the village, radio in hand. Clarke sat at the wooden table a few feet from her, eating the newly found berries. Her finger pressed the button down gently as her lips parted, beginning to speak.
