{ alone }

Atlanta was totally alone when she entered Roan's room. It was all empty. There was no more weapons, no more clothes or draws. There was nothing else but a bed and a sword on top of it. Atlanta sat on the bed and all she wanted to do was scream. Scream at everything and everyone.

"Feels kind of lonely, huh?" Someone asked next to her and Atlanta turned her face quickly.

"Roan." She whispered, standing up and hugging him. "You're not really here, are you?" She asked low and he bounced his head. 

"You want me to be here. People have different kinds of grieve." He said low and she nodded low.

"I wish you were really here." She said low and he smiled a little. 

"I know. I'm not exactly happy about dying either." He chuckled and she bounced her head, smiling a little.

"What am I going to do?"

"Whatever your heart tells you too." He looked at her.

"How long will you stay?"

"Until you want me to." He said softly and she nodded her head. "I know you're going to kill those guards. I would do the same if someone had killed you." He looked at her, it felt so real. "But she's your mother. You can't kill her."

"I just don't understand why Roan. Why did she do it?" Atlanta gasped.

"She's your mother. Mothers have their own reasons." He said softly. "You should be prepared, Atlanta. The Mountain Men will attack soon. Skaikru will join them."

"What? No. Bellamy would never let that happen."

"He will have to. Bad things will happen with Skaikru, Atlanta."

"You can see the future?" Atlanta asked confused.

"No, but I can predict it." He sighed softly.

"What now?"

"You need to keep fighting or it all goes to Hell." Roan said and once Atlanta looked to him, he was gone.

location: skaikru camp.

"You okay?" Clarke sat next to Murphy who nodded his head.

"I guess so." He looked at the bonfire, in front of them. 

"Do you think he did it? Wells?" Clarke asked softly.

"He didn't," Jaha said and everyone looked at him. "Erin did."

"Erin as in Atlanta's mother?" Murphy looked at Jaha and stood up. 

"Atlanta isn't your sister." Jaha looked at Octavia and Bellamy. "She's not my daughter."

"No, that's not right. That—" Octavia looked at him and he nodded his head softly.

"Does Atlanta know?" Bellamy looked at Jaha.

"I suppose by now she does." Jaha said softly and Bellamy bounced his head.

"I can't believe this." Bellamy bounced his head, angry and he kicked some woods. "She's still our sister." Bellamy looked at them.

"Bellamy..." Clarke started.

"Don't. She's in Azgeda, probably thinking that this will affect everything, Clarke!" Bellamy brushed Clarke off and Clarke stepped back slowly.

Before they could argue about anything else, their camp was invaded by Mountain Men. Mountain Men spread a gas that put them all to sleep. Not just sleep but deeply inconsistent. They used trucks to move Skaikru to Mount Weather, leaving there just Bellamy, Octavia, Murphy, Jaha and Clarke.

Everyone else was gone, including Finn, Raven, Jasper, Monty, Harper, and too many other delinquents. Bellamy, Octavia and the others were tied up to different trees and they were being guarded by Mountain Men. 

This was it. This was the way to make the Queen of Azgeda surrender. Using Skaikru as bait. Make someone willing to trade Atlanta's life for anything else.

This was how Azgeda was going to be destroyed.
