Clarke laid on the table face down, Russell finishing the stitches along the back of her neck carefully. He spoke to her about what her people had done, what Madi had done. How he'd tried to help them. And Clarke was surprised by the lack of response from Byrd.
'If this continues, they are going to come for us,' He stated; 'Right now, their rebellion is at a tipping point. Must crush it tonight. Get everything back to normal... When our people see all of us returned at once, they will fall to their knees.'
'We should've killed you first,' Madi sneered; 'Once we're free, you will burn.'
'Well, that's a little dramatic,' Clarke replied.
Madi began to struggled in her restraints as she had every time she woke, 'You will all burn! You will not get rid of us! We are eternal!'
'Guards, get the doctors,' Russell called, stopping Clarke when she raised her head; 'Stay still.'
She lowered her head back down, her eyes cast over to where she could just see Byrd's feet and the hand that had fallen to her side; her finger tapping a Morse code pattern onto the floor. I-S-E-E-Y-O-U. Her eyes widened slightly, but she didn't react beyond that as a tear rolled down her cheek and fell to the floor. Abby, Jackson and Raven strode into the room, the woman coming to a halt when she saw her daughter.
'You think I don't know what you're doing, Reyes?' Madi growled; 'If you don't stop, I will kill this child.'
Jackson grabbed her arm and stabbed her with yet another dose of a sedative, her body falling limp in the chair.
'That's better. Thank you,' Russell muttered as he wiped the back of Clarke's neck; 'There. How do you feel?'
Tears welled in Abby's eyes as Clarke sat up, Byrd tilting her head to the side as she watched the scene out of the corner of her eye.
'Peachy keen Josephine,' The blonde stood, watching her mother's face crumble.
A gasp left Abby's mouth as a tear fell down her cheek, Raven and Jackson watching in shock.
'Oh, stop it,' Clarke chastised; 'I'm not her.'
Abby stepped forward to come face to face with Russell; 'I'll kill you for this.'
'I once believed that I would never stray from the moral path, and then I killed my family in the first eclipse. I'd have done anything to bring them back. So, I believe you,' Russell stated calmly.
Abby turned away as more tears fell, Byrd turning back to look at the wall in front of her.
'How many doses of the serum do you have?' Russell asked.
'Four, including the one your people took to the machine shop for Simone,' Jackson answered.
'Six Primes must be resurrected tonight. That's two more doses.'
