"Clarke. I believe her." Lexa whispered, moving to sit next to me on the couch again.

"I believe her too Lexa."

"So what do we do?"

"Well you heard what Ontari said about keeping the kids away from us. I think I should call Lincoln. He can take the kids to a cabin in the woods."

"Won't they be expecting that though? Maybe we should send them with someone else."

I paused and thought about it for a moment. Lexa was right leaving them with Lincoln alone would be much too predictable. "What if we send them with a lot of people? I bet Murphy Bellamy Raven and Octavia would go." I suggested.

"I bet Indra and Lincoln would too."

"Ok I'll call my people you call yours. We can have them pick up the kids after school. Make sure they don't tell us where they are going. If we know that compromises the location."

"Wait Clarke." Lexa stooped me, gently grabbing my arm and turning me around to face her again. "It's going to be ok." In that moment I feel the world around me stop. I knew Lexa's words were true. I know that soon things were about to get challenging and I knew that something bad was going to happen but it didn't matter. Because in that moment looking into the endless forests within Lexa's eyes I knew everything would all be ok if we were together.

I nodded my head and moved a hand to lexa's cheek caressing it gently. "Thank you Lex." I whispered, before letting go of her and walking away to make some calls.

About half an hour later I was done talking to my friends who all agreed to help without hesitation. I found Lexa sitting on the couch looking completely defeated.

"Lexa. What's wrong?"

"You have to go Clarke."

"What? Lexa what are you talking about?"

"If you stay here Nia will find you. She's not after you. You'll be safer away from me. Everyone who gets close to me gets hurt and I can't have that happen to you. Madi needs her mother."

"Lexa don't say that. Aden needs you too."

"Does he really? Because from what I remember Lincoln has practically been raising him alone for years. I don't do any of the work. He probably doesn't even love me and I don't blame him."

"Lexa of course Aden loves you! You are being ridiculous right now. Aden needs you and you know it! And you know what Lexa?! I need you!"

"Clarke-"

"No! What happened to staying together?! What happened to being there for one another?!" I yelled as tears started to stream done my face.

"I'm trying to be there for you! That's why you have to leave. Please. Go somewhere safe Clarke. I bet Abby and Marcus can help you. Promise me you'll go hide."

I couldn't believe the words that just came out of Lexa's mouth. I shook my head bitterly and gave Lexa one last glance before turning and walking away. "Fuck you Lexa."

"Clarke promise me!"

I ignored Lexa's request and continued walking out the door and out of her house. If Lexa wants me gone, I'm leaving. Who the hell is she to tell me what to do? She's not my protecter. I can protect myself.

I called a cab and it took me home. When I got into my room I picked up a book and threw it across the room, watching as it hit a lamp that fell causing glass to shatter all over the floor.

"Shit!" I yelled, walking over to my bed. I grabbed. A pillow and started punching it over and over as my anger turned to sadness. The next thing I knew I was sobbing on my bed clutching my pillow and holding it close. I can't understand why Lexa would do this. I know it makes sense to some extent but did she really expect me to not take an issue with us splitting up? I know she asked me to promise her to get to somewhere safe but I don't feel like moving from my bed. Where would I even go? If Nia has a problem with me she can come tell me personally because I'm not leaving my house.

I was about to sit up and start punching my pillow again when I heard the sound of glass crunching. I sat up quickly to see Ontari standing in my room over where the lamp had broken. I was about to scream but I saw Ontari was holding a gun.

"Clarke if you want to live stay silent."

I watched her take a few steps forward and I couldn't move because I was so scared.

"My mom wants you dead. Lucky for you, I think you're way too hot to die. Plus when I shoot my shot I prefer to not make it fatal."

"Ontari please. I have a child."

"Duh. I already knew that Clarke. Were you not paying attention this entire time? I'm Ontari. I was at Lexa's place like an hour ago. I'm the woman who was with your kid in the office. Remember? The really hot woman."

"Are you going to kill me or not?"

"Well if you continue with that attitude then maybe? Jeez you sure are ungrateful blondie."

"Excuse me for not thanking you for kidnapping my daughter and breaking into my house with a gun. Where are my manners?"

"Listen Clarke you are really making this hard on me. I have to pretend like I killed you which means I've got to shoot you. Once I've done so I'm taking some of your blood and going back to my mother. You can't be spotted anywhere or we're both dead. Do you understand? I'm risking my life for you."

"Why?" I asked, not able to believe this was happening. "Why not just kill me?"

"Because Clarke. Your life is worth saving. You can fall in love, get married, raise Madi, and finish what you started."

It was strange hearing Ontari speak so kindly. I wanted to hug her and thank her and show her how grateful I was. I tried to walk towards Ontari but before I could even react I watched her pull the trigger firing a shot right below my ribs on my right side. I screamed out in pain and fell to the ground, clutching the wound.

"Ahhh what the fuck Ontari!?"

"Sorry blondie." Ontari apologized, moving to take a tissue and cover it in some of my blood. "Gotta go Griffin. Don't get spotted. You are dead now ok?"

"Thank you I think."

"No problem Blondie." Ontari smiled, giving me a wink before running out of my house.

I'm thankful Ontari didn't actually kill me but if I don't get help soon I'm going to die anyways. I crawled across my bedroom floor trying to grab a towel to wrap around the wound. I'm not really sure why Ontari couldn't have just shot me in the foot. I'm losing a lot of blood right now and I don't want to bleed out and die.

I continued to crawl across my bedroom floor but I started to feel light headed and dizzy. The room started to spin and I felt super cold. Was I going to die here? Would I ever see Madi again? Would I ever get to talk with Lexa? I felt my eyes flutter shut and a cold sensation fill my body. I started to shake and I couldn't stay still. Then all of a sudden it was all dark. There was nothing.
