Lexa's pov:
"Y/n, you need to eat." Y/n shakes her head and rolls over on the bed towards the edge. I quickly wrap my arm around her small torso. "Y/n you need to eat more than just a few forkfuls every three days," I pull her back over so Clarke can bring the scooped food to her mouth, her thin hand reaching towards the candle on the small bedside table. "Please be careful. You know you can burn yourself." Y/n's eye strain on the candle. I take a moment to hold her tiny frame on my lap watching her eyes dance with the flame, the color of the flame blending with the smaller brunette's caramel brown orbs bringing an almost sunset look to her eyes. "Y/n, please pup. I need you to have a few spoonfuls." Y/n slowly moves her gaze from the candle, her eyes not looking up at Clarke or me but her mouth opening to take in a spoonful of food. "Thank you, baby girl" Clarke leans forward and kisses Y/n's cheeks while I lean around Y/n making sure she stays in my lap and kiss her other cheek.
"I am not hungry Clarke." I hold the side of her head while she tries to shift away from another spoonful of food.
"I know but you need to eat," I smirk while she takes another bite, pulling her hair to the side and out of her mouth so it doesn't get in the way of her eating. "Just a few more bites and we can be done for now." Y/n's head rolls back as I am sure she just rolled her eyes at the 'for now' from Clarke, her head turns and I watch her eyes shift to the candle. "Y/nn," Clarke tries to get her attention but the smaller girl seems enthralled and almost lost in the candle. "Pup?" Clarke tilts her head to the side while Y/n slowly turns her head, another scoop coming to her mouth.
"We need to get some muscle on your bones again." I gently rub her arms to offer support while she finishes chewing and takes another spoonful.
"Clarke? Lexa?" Bellamy comes rushing into the tent, sweat visible on his forehead. "We have to go." I shift Y/n from my lap and immediately get my jacket and swords, shoving my boots on my feet. I turn to see that Y/n has a hold of Clarke's shirt not letting her go.
"Y/n, you can't come." Y/n's eyebrows pinch together while she continues to hold a grip on Clarke's shirt.
"But I want to help. I can help." I can see the worry etched in the lines on Y/n's face while she tries to hold on to Clarke.
"No, no I need you here where you are safe." Clarke holds Y/n's face in her hands, rubbing the pad of her thumbs across Y/ n's cheeks. "I know you can help, but you are in no shape right now. You're still healing." I can hear the crack in her voice while Clarke gets Y/n to let her go. "I can't lose you again pup, please." Y/n nods her head and sits back on the couch.
"Please have a little more of that," I say pointing to the food, while I grab Clarke's jacket.
"I'll bring them back in a few Y/n, I'll keep them safe." I make my way over to her and wipe off the tear that has slipped down her cheek and kiss her lips softly, wiping a bit of her hair out of the way of her eyes.
"Please be safe." I nod into the kiss and pull away, Clarke coming and smiling before connecting hers and Y/n's lips together, Clarke's hands messing up Y/n's hair.
"If you eat all of that we will reward you when we get back." Y/n's eyes grow wide and cheeks grow pink while she shyly plays with her fingers.
"Okay?"
"Okay." I kiss her cheek one last time before Clarke and I make our way out of the tent following Bellamy. Outside of the tent were about three quarters on Hiraeth's warriors, a small army. I nod to Abby and then make my way out of Hiraeth, leading beside Clarke, Octavia, and Indra.
"Is Raven in the meeting tent with the computer?" Octavia nods to Clarke.
"Yup, she said that her and your mother will both be checking in on Y/n." I release a breath of anxiety, feeling Clarke's hand intertwine with mine while we rush through the underbrush.
"She'll be fine. She'll be fine." I nod, knowing she can't see me in the dark. We both duck to a low branch while we quickly run along the fringes of the woods.
"en in emo truks" Indra takes the lead while we jump into a few scraped up rovers Raven had been working on for the past few months. I pause letting Clarke and Octavia in first and making sure that all the warriors had a spot in one of the three rovers. I watch the silhouettes get in, one small warrior almost tripped, their long hair flying just above the ground before climbing into the last rover. We make our way over the rubbled ground of the dirt desert and up a hill, blocking our eyes from the thrown up dirt, Clarke's hand still in mine.
The moon rises high above us, our headlights off as we make our way over the final ridge stopping in the undergrowth to take our places like we were shown on the map. I take the lead along with Clarke, Octavia, Monty, Indra, and a few warriors behind us. Monty signals to Raven over the wiring talkie.
Click
No one coughs or breathes too loudly while we here the giant door's lock coming undone. Quickly our small group gets up and makes it to the door, losing a couple to the defensive fire the others in the underbrush are attempting to protect us from.
Click
The door locks behind us.
"Everyone okay?" I turn to watch Clarke check and make sure that everyone is not too hurt to continue. My gaze sweeps over the small group of seven warriors.
"I see we lost two." The three in the back nod, one with their head down and long hair cascading from under their hood. I narrow my eyes and move to the warrior. "Your hood will need to be up if you wish to see." They slowly take their hood up and my breath catches in my throat. "Y/n..." Her fiery brown eyes pierce into mine, a small twitch of her eyebrow and I know she is worried I will be mad.
"Y/n what are you doing here?" Her brown eyes fall to the floor while Clarke takes her arm. "I told you to stay back."
"I just wanted to protect you two." Her voice came out as a whisper while she continues to stay fascinated on the floor.
BANG
I duck down at the noise pulling Y/n and Clarke with me against the side of the tunnel.
"We need to get going." Octavia nods, she and the other two warriors charge the few fighters firing on us. "Y/n you need to stay by us, do you understand." I see her bite her lip and nod.BANG BANG
One of the warriors falls with a hit to the leg but gets up and continues to blast the few fighters left with Octavia. Indra makes her way to the bleeding out warrior with Clarke in tow while I make sure Y/n stays by my side.
BANG BANG
I slide into another hallway, seeing Clarke do the same with Indra and the wounded warrior across the hall and Octavia and the other warrior just up the hall. Clarke is quickly bandaging up the wounded leg while Indra shoots her bow from her spot. I reach my arm back to make sure Y/n is behind me, and turn to see only Monty.
"Where is Y/n?"
I lean out of the hallway and see a few of the fighters falling to an arrow going through the pits of their stomachs.
"Where the hell is Y/n?!?!" I yell, running down the hall, brazing a bullet into my shoulder before decapitating one of the fighters and moving while Indra and Octavia take the last one. I make my way back to meet Clarke and Monty.
"Clarke go with Monty to-" I stop mid-sentence as I see Monty on the ground with a pool of blood beneath him, Clarke rushing over to him try to find where the blood is coming from.
"Clarke, take the com and Raven will help you."
"No, I'm not leaving you."
"Save our friend's Clarke, I'll be fine." Clarke takes in a deep breath and nods, her jaw set. She takes the other injured warriors hands and places them on the main area where Monty is bleeding.
"You stay here and protect each other, find where the bleeding is coming from and put pressure on it." Clarke takes the wired com from Monty and nods to me. Her eyes swimming with anger while she quickly turns without another word up the hallway towards where the map said the main circuit board is. Octavia moves next to me, slightly out of breath.
"Shouldn't one of us go with her?" I nod but don't move.
"Did you see that look in her eyes. She is angry and would rather us find Y/n."
"Then let's go find Y/n."
