As their smiles appeared they disappeared, Lexa had looked over and realized what was happening to me. Peyton realized sooner than she did because she was running over to me. 

"Peyton no." Lexa called out, it was to late Peyton had already pushed through the crowd and saw me. 

"Y/N?" she titled her head confused. "Are you ok?" before I could say anything she began running over to me, 

"Peyton stop!" I screamed it was to late, one of the guards shot her. The crowd gasped. Everything went silent in my head, my ears ringing was the only sound I could hear.

"She was a harmless child!" one of the people screamed.

I shook myself out of it. I didn't need to focus I broke free and ran over to her, "Peyton." I had tears running down my face. "You're going to be ok." I choked out. "You are going to be fine."

"Princesses don't cry." she smiled at me choking on blood.

Everything moved in slow motion, I just sat there staring her. I wasn't able to help. It was too late to heal her, to late to help her. "Tell Emma, that she can miss me but she can't cry for me." 

"Why can't she cry?"

"I don't want to make her sad," 

Raven came rushing over, "We have a choice here, you can inject her with powers given to you, or she can go." 

"She won't be able to control them." I let out. 

"We can teach her. We fixed you we can fix her." 

"Peyton. What do you want to do?"

"I'll be like you? You won't be alone?" she asked still choking on blood. 

"Yes. You'll be like me." I let out tears still rushing down.

She nodded and Raven injected her, it was to late. 

I stood up, "Pike you got a little girl killed because of your ego." I shouted walking over to him. "You killed a little girl! This is on you." My eyes rolled back causing them to go black and this time I didn't care. 

"I d- didn't mean too." 

"It doesn't matter you still did it. She was just starting to get happy again. She had friends. She had people that cared about her, you just took her away from everyone. But you probably think she deserved that too right?"

"What is she talking about?" Lexa asked stepping from behind me.

"Tell everyone here what you said in that room about her getting beat? Tell them." he said nothing. "He told me she deserved it, that he father was his friend and he would never do that unless she deserved it. How because she liked girls she deserved it. Tell me now Pike, did she deserve that? Did she deserve to be killed because you hurt the only person she ever trusted." 

"No."

I stepped back tears rushing down my face, "She was final happy." I choked. "She was happy and YOU took that away from her. And now you have live with that. You killed an innocent little girl because you wanted to please your people." Lexa grabbed my arm. "No. I'm not done. You complain about the grounders and how they are so bad. Months ago I was tied to a pole being burned because I was a threat, look around. The same thing. You are just like the grounders no you're even worse."

Pike stood up straight. "Guards grab her look her up. Get rid of the body." 

"No." Lexa said. "if she is a threat to your clan she is a threat to all we must take her back to Polis and discuss further options." she told him.
