Abby POV
2hours earlier.

It was stressful getting y/n's bleeding to stop and then there was stitching up her bullet wound. "Jackson, we need to check for an exit wound" he nodded at what I said before steadying y/n on her side "hold her sideways while I rip her shirt" I ordered Jackson and he did. Getting the medical scissors and cutting down the middle of the back of her shirt, letting out a gasp at what I saw. "What's wrong Abby?" Jackson asked before adding "is there an exit wound?" Shaking my head to think straight again I answered back "yes, there is an exit wound but that's not what I'm worried about" having already sewed up the wound in y/n's stomach, I helped Jackson lower y/n onto her stomach gently and carefully. Seeing Jackson's eyes go wide starring at the same thing I saw. Her back, littered in red marks going up, down, across and really just in every direction, all different lengths but they covered her back nonetheless.

"W-what, how'd this happen?" He asked and I shook my head not knowing the answer. "Okay, we need to stitch this up and then we can put her into the coma" I repeated the plan and Jackson nodded his head and we both got to work.

Back to 2 hours later.

Getting y/n stabilised was definitely a hard job. But now having sewn up her bullet wounds and stoped the bleeding, we were now working on making sure she doesn't crash while in a coma. "It's all done" I heard Jackson say as he came around from cleaning y/n's crimson blood off of his hands. "Okay, she's stable" I said back to him and he nodded "do we let the others in Or do we just make them wait until she wakes back up again?" Jackson asked after a few seconds of silence "we'll let them in a bit later, but first I want to get Clarke to come in to see if she knows anything about her back" Jackson nodded "do we know who did this to her?" He asked "we know who shot her but we don't know who did that to her back, it could've even been the mountain men?" I said, questioning myself at the same time "that's impossible Abby, even you know that, scarring like that would've taken years" knowing Jackson was right I hung my head not sure what to say "it must have happened when the ark was in the sky" looking up when Jackson said that and realising that it must have, I couldn't have the slightest guess who did that to her.

"Okay, I'll go get Clarke, n'd see if she knows anything" I said "sure, just don't let to many people get in here, they could bump something and besides her being unconscious it could be overwhelming " nodding at Jackson I went over to the door and took a deep breath before opening it.

Openjng the door, I got a glimpse of everyone sitting on the ground in the hallway before they all shot up when the door opened, doing a double take seeing lexa and Anya not really expecting them to be here "how is she? Did she make it? Is she awake?-" Octavia was the first to speak and straight away started rambling before Lincoln placed a hand on her shoulder and whispering something into her ear and she stayed silent, looking at me expectantly. "She stabilised, but Clarke?, I need you in here for a second" everyone looking at Clarke and i before Clarke answered "uhh, sure okay" Clarke turned to Octavia and told her something as if reassuring her but the younger Blake still looked annoyed that she wasn't allowed in to see her best friend. Turning and motioning Clarke in behind me, I lead her over to
y/n's bed. Seeing y/n like that, on her stomach with a blanket going up to her hips while there was a bandage just wide enough to cover both entrance and exit bullet wounds, the rest of her back was on display showing the scars scattered across her back. Hearing a Clarke stop abruptly, I turned my head to her from over my shoulder "is she alright?" My daughter asked "for now, we put her in the medical induced coma and she is stable now, so hopefully she won't crash" "hopefully?" Clarke questioned "yes Clarke, we don't know how badly the internal stuff is and she lost a lot of blood so we can only find out if she makes it through the night but this isn't what I wanted to talk to you about".

"Then what did you want to talk about?" Clarke questioned me, her forehead creasing before she glanced back at y/n, and her eyes scanning over her scars.

"The scars, do you know anything about them? Has she told you anything about them?" I asked, my tone mutual but concerned and angry that someone would do something like this to her.

"No, I don't know anything about them but I've seen them before" Clarke said, now standing next to y/n. She gently placed her hand in y/n's back, tracing one of the longer scars up and down.

"Did she show them to you?" I questioned further, just wanting to know about them.

"No, the first day on the ground we found a river and her and Octavia went swimming, she took her shirt off and that's when I saw it. I don't know if the others did seeing as they were panicking over Octavia once y/n saved her from a giant eel but I saw it, I didn't have time to asked her about it though. If you want to know about it I suggest asking Octavia, she's her best friend and if anyone knows it's probably gonna be her" after Clarke finished speaking I nodded. Both of us staying silent, not sure what to say next.

Third point of view x  Abbys POV

Hearing grunting from outside the door. Abby and Clarke both looked up, seeing the door slam open and hit the wall, Clarke letting out a little surprised noise. Octavia came in through the door and I saw Lincoln stumbling after her, obviously having failed keeping her putt. "Where is she? Is she alright?" The brunette Blake said straight away and was now standing in front of us. Letting out a sigh I moved to the side and Octavia froze seeing y/n like that.
"W-what happened?" She stuttered "well, we were hoping you'd know" Clarke said, Octavia obviously referring to the scars. "I'm sorry, I don't know anything, she never really told us or me, for the matter" Octavia said. Nodding her head in defeat, Abby walked over to the vitals to make sure everything was running fine.

"She'll need to rest, I'm going to need you to leave the room" Abby said "please, can I stay with her" Octavia asked and Abby was about to deny "well we'll need someone to watch her anyways, make sure nothing happens that might cause her to not make it" Jackson cut in and Octavia gave him a grateful smile "okay, fine. But everyone else needs to get out" Abby said, referring to raven, Clarke, Bellamy, Lincoln, Anya and lexa. Them nodding and leaving the room along with Jackson. "Okay just come get Jackson or I if something seems abnormal" Abby sighed out and Octavia nodded "will do doc, thanks for helping her" giving Octavia a small smile and I nod I left the room.

Being alone in the room and seeing y/n like this made me want to cry but I knew I had to be strong for her even though see wasn't conscious. Bringing a seat over next to her bed and sitting down, I grabbed one of her cold hands and rubbing small circles on her palm. Slowly closing my eyes, deciding to get some sleep, murmuring a quiet 'please wake up soon' before falling into a slight sleep.
