ALEXANDER WAS NOT ABLE to sleep after what happened with Raven. As much as she told him to rest he just wouldn't listen, he was on her back 24/7 to make sure it wouldn't happen again. He was worried he'd lose her, and it scared him. He ended up showering that night and walked to another house with John as he prepared food for them. Just as the boy got out of the shower he exited with a towel wrapped around his waist. The lights were off for a moment but they turned on and that's when the boy jumped up startled.

"Alex?" Clarke smiled

"Holy shit, Clarke? What are you doing here?" The boy asked.

"I wanted to see how everything was going, and I uh...came to uh, sh-shower." Clarke said stuttering on the last part.

The boy nodded. "The bathroom is right through there. There is an extra towel in there as well."

"Okay," Clarke slightly smiled before walking into the bathroom and closing the door.

Once she did, Alexander took that time to change into clothing before anyone else walked in on him. After about an hour Clarke exited the shower. Once she did her eyes fell onto Alexander's sleeping body as he laid on the couch that was in the bedroom. Clarke then glanced at the bed before laying on it. Once she closed her eyes loud clattering was heard. The two-shot up from the bed. Clarke grabbed a gun and the boy grabbed his sword. They walked down the stairs and didn't say a word until they reached the bottom.

"Murphy?" Clarke called out

The clattering noise continued, that's when their eyes fell onto the slightly opened door. Alexander motioned for Clarke to quiet down and the boy walked into the room turning the lights on. Once he did his eyes fell onto the window that was opened and had a hole punched into the middle. As the three inspected it, they heard the floor creak and that's when Alexander threw one of his blades in that direction.

Murphy quickly dodged it and raised his hands in a surrendering mode. "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey. Take it easy, Samurai." he huffed before turning towards Clarke. "We need to talk."

"Quiet. There's someone here." Clarke said as she caught her breath. The three were interrupted once they shouting coming from the kitchen. They ran towards there and found some man on top of Emori. Murphy grabbed a cutting board and hit the man over the head making him fall onto the ground unconscious.

"Are you ok? Can you stand?" Clarke asked as she helped Emori up.

Just as John was about to stab the man with Alexander's sword, Emori stopped him.

"Wait! He's mine," She panted getting as she ran towards the man. But before she had a chance to, John quickly held her back. "Get off of me! If we don't kill him now, he'll kill us!"

"You know him?"

"Baylis."

The man quickly looked up. "she's lying. You don't know me."

"You said you'd kill me," Emori spat as she tried to attack the man once again. "Well, guess what, Planhaka, I'm gonna kill you." she spat

Alexander had a hard time believing her since the man seemed a little familiar but he shrugged it off. "Hey, control her," Alexander huffed before turning towards the man. "And you. You don't move."

The main raised both his hands surrendering. "Just let me go. I'll leave the food, and you never have to see me again."

"Is he alone?" Clarke asked

"Not usually," Emori responded as she walked up towards the man. "Where are the others?"

The man instantly tried to stand to his feet. "I don't know who the hell you think—"

"Stumucha!" Emori interrupted as she kicked the man in the face knocking him unconscious once again.

"If he's not alone we need to know now, Murphy takes Clarke's gun and ties him up. Clarke go clean the blood off Emori's face." Alexander ordered, "Murphy and I will stay behind and have some fun."

The two girls nodded and made their way upstairs. After thirty minutes of torturing and beating on the man. They got no information out of him except for the fact that he supposedly came to get food, Emori beat on him until Clarke suggested they used him as the test dummy for the night blood serum. With that, the four carried the man back to the facility to start the work. Abby was hesitant to put the needle into the man's skin.

"Hey. none of us like what we're doing here," Clarke told her mother. "Not even to someone like him. But if this works, we survive. Simple as that."

Everyone glanced at Abby, and the woman nodded before she stuck the needle into the man's vein. Alexander exited the room and went to go find Raven. Once he did he found her sleeping, the boy sat next to her and wrapped his arms around her body. Raven turned around and laid her head onto his chest.

"Hey," She whispered. "I'm sorry about earlier, and for being distant."

Alexander kept his eyes on the ceiling. "It's okay, I mean we've both been busy."

"I know, but I wanted to be there for you." She sighed

"Raven, we both had our problems to worry about. All that matters is that I get to wake up by your side every morning."

Raven sat up and looked at the boy in his eyes. "Alex, can I tell you something?"

"Yeah? what's wrong?"

She paused for a moment before taking a deep breath in. "You've helped me through so much pain and trauma the past few months. And we met on bad events but I'm really happy you're here." she smiled at him before taking another breath. "I love you,"

The boy was caught off guard for a moment. He didn't say a word back which caused Raven to instantly regret saying what she had just said. But before Raven could say anything to ruin the moment Alexander smiled. "I love you too, Reyes."

Without another word, she leaned in and closed the gap between their lips. Things from there got heated. She was his peace, His anchor, his love, she was his happiness. Just as he was hers.

The love they had was confusing to others but only they could understand why they act the way they do.

Alexander couldn't imagine hurting Raven, it pains him enough seeing her heat herself up about this whole end of the world situation.

He would do anything in his power to make sure Raven was happy and alive.

Anything.
