Emori was currently trying to keep her eyes open. She was growing tired of standing for almost two days and her throat was dry from not drinking anything either. She could feel her muscles begin to tire as she swayed on her feet hoping that somehow Lexa knows where she is and could come to rescue her.
Bellamy watched as Emori swayed and stumbled as she struggled against the restraints and he stood up. He walked over to her carefully feeling bad for knocking her out twice. "I'm going to remove the restraints," he said softly as Emori looked up at him but only saw double. The fatigue was starting to get to her and a pain on her head which started out as an ache now felt like a bomb going off on her head every time she moved. Her wrist was hurting as well from all the yanking she was doing to get free. "Please don't do anything that could get you killed," Bellamy said and if Emori weren't feeling like complete shit she would have had a comeback for him. He could try killing her if he wanted to but he wouldn't succeed.
She felt as the restraints loosened on her wrists and as soon as she was free she couldn't hold her weight on her own anymore and she stumbled to the floor. Bellamy watched as she collapsed and quickly held her in his arms before her body could touch the ground. He noticed she was bleeding from a wound on her head and realized she had lost a lot of blood. In that moment, Emori passed out of fatigue and if it weren't for how tired she felt and how much her head ached she would have head-butted the curly-haired brunette and tried to escape.
Bellamy watched as her eyes fluttered closed and the grounder before him fell unconscious. He grumbled as he held the grounder in his arms and looked up when he heard Lincoln's chain rattled. Lincoln was tugging at his restraints and glaring at Bellamy as if warning him not to do anything to the girl in his arms. He rolled his eyes as Lincoln before looking down at Emori again, "Relax. I'm not gonna hurt her,' Bellamy stated and carried her to a corner of the room and grabbed her previous restraints and tied her down on the floor to the wall so she could rest.
He then walked down the ladder to get Clarke to tend to her head wound and hopefully stop her from dying.

When Emori finally woke up she felt tired and groggy. She watched Octavia, who was cleaning Lincoln's wounds, in annoyance once she realized who it was and where she was. Her head felt heavy and her neck was sore from the way she had slept on it, but she could feel her energy back. Her headache had seemed to disappear and she felt something wrapped on it.
Had they tended to my wound
"My name is Lincoln" Emori heard her best friend rasp out and she scoffed knowing exactly where this would leave them.
"What now, are you gonna tell her about trikru." Emori snapped in her native tongue as Octavia eyed her confused. Emori only glared at the girl who started this mess. Lincoln gave her a look making her roll her eyes and slump back in annoyance. She needed to get the hell out of this camp and start planning a way to kill all of these idiots. She was tired of being held captive and she wanted to see Lexa again.
"Lincoln" the brunette stated looking back at Lincoln in adoration. "I'm Octavia." Emori's stare hardened on Lincoln and she knew it did not go unnoticed by him. Lincoln didn't say another word as he soon as he glanced at Emori's death stare. He knew she would kill him if he said too much. It was the first thing they teach warriors in trikru' to never say a thing about your clan. Torture techniques would go on for days on the soldiers of trikru and they had to go through it in silence in order to pass.
"Well, is that it," Octavia asked annoyed. She was hoping to hear more from him, and she was especially wanting answers on why he's protecting her.
"Is that all your gonna say"
"Not. safe. to. talk" Lincoln mumbled hoping Emori couldn't really hear him, but he knew she had once he heard her yank at the restraints, as if warning him to stop at once.
The conversation went on and every few seconds Emori would yank at her restraints until finally, she had enough.
"I am the enemy" Lincoln mumbled
"Enough" Emori whisper yelled and glared at Octavia and Lincoln who were both looking at her wide-eyed. "Stop talking or you'll have more to worry about than the sky people," Emori told Lincoln who nodded meekly and Emori turned to glare at Octavia. "Leave," she said. Octavia opened her mouth to say something when the hatch door suddenly opened. Miller came up and began reprimanding Octavia and pushing her towards the door. "Bellamy isn't even here" Octavia tried to reason, but Miller wasn't having it. "Leave or he'll finally get the beating I've been aching to give him" Miller threatened and Emori rolled her eyes. "Try it and I'll kill you" Emori spoke and watched as Miller gave her a confused look and then turned back to Octavia, who was now leaving.
☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎
A few minutes after Octavia left, Miller had finally decided to leave as well, and Emori took that as the time to talk to her best friend. Emori glared at Lincoln, who had given up on standing and was now leaning on his restraints for support. "Why would you tell her your name" Emori questioned. She had tried to answer that question for the past 30 minutes, but she couldn't believe her friend would betray their clan because he liked some girl. "That's putting all the clans in danger" Emori reprimanded and Lincoln nodded. "I know. I apologize, but she's different. We can trust her" Lincoln said as he finally stood up and stared at Emori who was trying to loosen her restraints by tugging on them.
Trust her? Emori thought in frustration. He barely knew her and the sky people had destroyed an entire village of trikru farmers. They weren't warriors they were innocent people who didnt deserve to die in that fire.
"You don't know that. You don't know anything about these people. Lincoln, they captured us. They're not just going to release us" Emori tried to reason. "If we're going to die here. Can you at least not be mad at me" Lincoln stated in annoyance, and Emori rolled her eyes at him and then sighed. "I'm not mad Lincoln, I'm disappointed. You know what happens when we let our guard down in unknown territory" Emori stated reminding him of the Mountain Men and what they had done to their friend. Lincoln's face hardened and he sighed in frustration, "What happened to Elyria was a mistake, and we can't keep blaming the Mountain Men either. We were as much to blame" he raised his voice in anger, and Emori nodded.
"Right because we took her to the caves, and then ran away in fear when they showed up".
"Em, we were just kids" Lincoln voiced, but Emori only looked away. "I've blamed myself every day for her death Lincoln. I'm not the bad guy here" Emori finalized and the conversation between the two grounder seized as Miller came back up and took his spot on a barrel next to Lincoln.
☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎
The hatchet opened for the fifth time that evening and up came Octavia. "Get out" Miller stated firmly annoyed with his boss's younger sister's presence. "Relax. I thought you might be hungry" Octavia tossed a bag of something at Miller and Emori's eyes furrowed as she tried to see what was in the bag. Once she couldn't see what was inside she turned back to Octavia who was glancing at Lincoln.
"A peace offering. I shouldn't have come up here alone earlier. It was stupid and dangerous, and..." Octavia stopped and glanced over to Lincoln. "He's not worth it"she ended and Emori couldnt help the soft chuckle that bubbled out of her. No one seemed to have heard her though as both of the guy's eyes were trained on Octavia.
"I won't tell Bellamy if you won't" Octavia smirked and began to climb back down, the hatch closing behind her.
"And the brunette finally reveals her true colors" Emori smirks and looks to Lincoln who has a blank expression on his face.
