Chapter 15

Lexa's POV 

It's been 30 minutes since I have heard from anyone at Arcadia. I have no idea what happened. If Clarke was ok, she would have contacted me by now, so would have Octavia. I am about to have my horse saddled when Murphy stops me, "Lexa, you have the radio, use it. Someone will answer."

I look down at the radio, I'm so stupid. I should have radioed alot sooner. "Arcadia, are you there, this is the commander speaking."

It takes what seems like forever before someone answers, but really its only a few minutes. "Commander, this is Raven speaking."

"What is the situation there Raven?" I ask.

"All hell broke lose here commander. I had to blow the lock to the armory, ensuring that no one could get any weapons. Then I blew sections of the wall. Parts of farm station fought with Pike and Bellamy. As the rest of Arcadia fought to free themselves from them, Your warriors came in through the parts of the wall that I blew up. They just escorted a little over 20 people to the skybox. No one escaped." Raven replied.

I take a deep breath and ask, "Raven, what happened to Clarke and Octavia? Why haven't they contacted me?"

"I guess I should have started with that. Clarke nearly took Bellamy's hand off with a dagger, while Octavia tackled him. It was totally badass. Except both got shot." Raven pauses slightly and I can hear her sigh before she continues, "They are both in medical. It will be awhile before they wake up. Bellamy's bullet grazed the side of Clarke's head. She will be fine. She will have a nasty headache, but will be ok."

I close my eyes and in relief, "Raven, what of Octavia's injuries. How is she?"

"Octavia's injury is a little bit worse than Clarke's. Pike shot her in the thigh. Abby says that she will be out of commission for a few days till I can build her a brace. She will know more in the next few days about anything permanent. The good thing is that they are both ok. Ryder and Lincoln are with them now." Raven says.

"One more question for you, Raven?"Where is Indra?" I ask.

"Indra is guarding the skybox. I can bring her the radio if you want." Raven says.

I think about it for the moment, then I say, "No Raven, that won't be necessary. Let her know that I am going to meet with the clan leaders and ambassadors, then I will be there in the morning." I pause for a second, "Oh, and Raven. Thank you. I really appreciate all your help."

"It's no problem commander. Clarke and Octavia are my best friends. There isn't much I  wouldn't do for them. We will see you in the morning. Raven, over and out." 

I go to wash my face and hands before turning, "Murphy your with me on this trip. Grab your things and meet me in the throne room in 15 minutes."

"I'm right on it, Lexa." He replies.

I walk out my room and say "Assemble the clan leaders, ambassadors, and someone bring me Aden. When you are finished with that saddle our horses, don't forget one for Murphy."

I quickly make my way to the throne room and take sit down, waiting for the others.
I know Raven said Clarke is ok, but I have to see her for myself. 

It isn't long before everyone joins me, "Welcome back everyone, Aden."

They all bow to me and reply, "Welcome back commander."

I begin speaking, "As you all the mission in Arcadia didn't go as smoothly as we planned. I have been in contact with Raven kom Skaikru just a few minutes ago. Wanheda's mission was a success. However, we had a few mishaps in the process. Octavia and Wanheda were injured in the fight for Arcadia to be taken back from the natronas. I have been ensured that they will both recover."
