Grounder | An Anya Love Story

Recap

"I know you would never, I also know if you were a night blood you would've made the perfect commander. Now come here and give me a hug." I let out a laugh and hugged my best friend. "We will leave tomorrow morning to talk to the collision, go talk to Anya and we will work everything out." I nodded my head again before leaving the tent, making eye contact with Clarke one last time before leaving.

I made my way back to where Anya was and took her to the side. "I need to talk to you," she made eye contact with some of the warriors around. "Alone," Anya gave a nod before we walked over to our tent. 

"What did you need to talk to me about?" She asked looking anywhere but at me. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist.

"I want to go to Polis. Lexa said if this is what I really wanted she had a position lined up for me." She nodded her head slightly.

"When do you leave?" She asked not making eye contact.

"Tomorrow morning."

"Well that isn't much notice." She turned around and took a strand of my hair in her hand. 

"It's not, but I was hoping you would come with me." As soon as the words left my mouth she pulled away from me.

"Why would I go with you." She asked hostility "My place is besides the Commander and what she deems is right for me." 

"Anya" 

"No, you do not get to decide what I do with my life." She spat 

"I'm not, I was just hoping. If you don't want to go then I wont force you to go." I said moving closer to her.

"Well I'm not going." She said and tried to mover her way around me. "I'm going to stay here and work with the Commander and do what ever she needs me to do, and I wish you would stay here but if you think your place is in Polis then you go to pol-" I cut off her rant by grabbing her hand and kissed her. Her hands instantly went to my face and pulled me closer kissing me back. "If you're leaving tomorrow then I need to give you a proper goodbye." She spoke again kissing down my neck. We made our way slowly over to our makeshift bed before she pushed me down on it. 

"And how are you going to do that?" I asked her pulling her down so she is above me. She started kissing my neck again as I went and grabbed the bottom of her shirt pulling it over her head. She didn't answer me. She pulled her shirt the rest of the way over her head before moving and pulling mine off. She kissed down my chest and stomach, going to take my pants off there was a knock on the outside of our tent. Anya let out a annoyed sound before going over and opening the door to our tent. 

"What" she hissed out looking at the guard who was taken back. He looked over at me who was laying on the bed topless and my pants pulled down slightly then back to Anya who threw her shirt back on backwards.

"They found the boy, Heda wants both of you there." Anya let out a sigh before telling the guard to leave. I felt my breath get caught in my throat and I looked up at Anya who was already making her way to me.

"Are you ok?" Was what her mouth was saying to me but all I could hear was my heart in my ears, the fast beating as I tried to wrap my head around what I just heard. They found Finn. I knew he had to die but part of me really thought that he would get away, that he would be able to live and be forgotten about. I nodded my head yes. I really was ok but the shock of one of my oldest friends dying hurts. I hurried and put my clothes back in place and helped Anya fix her shirt. She kissed me softly before bringing me into a hug. "I know that you care for him but this is how it must be." I buried my head in her neck and sighed.

"I know, but part of me didn't think that it was actually going to happen." She rubbed my back for a second longer as I tried to put this past me. "We should get going Lexa shouldn't have to wait any longer." She nodded her head before kissing mine one more time leaving the tent. I took a deep breath before fallowing her out. My gaze landed on Lexa and Clarke, but no Finn. My eyes surveyed the surrounding before they landed back on Clarke with a raised eyebrow. 

"Time to go." Was all Lexa said as Clarke lead us to the drop ship. All of the grounders looked at the chard bodies for their comrades as my eyes instantly went to where my friends were buried. Their graves not even visible anymore. Anya gave my hand a squeeze as she fallowed my gaze.

"They had to die," she whispered "It is what the was what we were told to do." I nodded my head not looking at her. 

"No one had to die." She let out a big sigh and just kept a hold of my hand. We made our way inside the drop ship and my eyes instantly landed on Abby, Finn, and Raven. I looked back over to Clarke and Lexa before my eyes landed on the man on the floor.

Abby was trying to get the man on the floor to breath as Lexa looks pissed. Finn was suddenly gone and something didn't feel right. 

He was dead. Whoever was on the floor was dead and from the look on Clarke's' face he wasn't supposed to be. Raven looked at me with pleading eyes as I was looking around the drop ship landing on some wires. Leaving Anya's side I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I grabbed them. "This should wake him up." I muttered out as I winked at Raven who was giving me a shit eating grin. Touching the wires together seeing the familiar spark I pressed them to the mans chest and holding them there before the man let out a gasp for air. 

Raven hugged me tightly, not knowing what to do I hugged her back my eyes going back over to Lexa who looked slightly impressed while some of the men behind her were giving me this look that I could figure out.
