"Just hop in" Octavia says as I was hesitating to hop on the horse "Mary" she says

"Now, yeah. Just a second" I says "are you sacred?" She chuckles "don't laugh at me" I says "it's okay, but if you want to be a warrior you gotta know how to ride a horse, I'll help you" she says

"Stand close to the horse and bend your left leg at the knee" she says. I do as she says while she holds my leg at the knee and ankle and lifts me upward

"Thank you" I says as I wraps my hand around her body, so I wouldn't fall "yeah, let's go save our friends from a war" she says looking at me before she turns and starts riding the horse

"Does she have a name?" I asks "the horse?" Octavia asks "mhm" I answers "Helios" Octavia answers

"Lincoln named it?" I asks "yeah. He had her since he was a kid" she answers "it's so cool you have him, to teach you everything" I says

"He's a good person" she slightly smiles "aw you're blushing. That's cute" I says "shut up, we're in a war. We shouldn't be thinking about this right now" she says

"Yeah, sorry" I says "Murphy will be fine, you know?" She says after a moment of silence "didn't you say we shouldn't be thinking about this?" I asks

"I just... I know you're worried about him, but you shouldn't" she says "it's okay. Jaha said he found some other girl, and that's the reason he left him" I says

"And do you believe Jaha?" She asks "I don't know, what other reason did he haven't come back yet?" I says "I don't know, Murphy loves you. He will be fool for going for another girl" she says

"I don't know... let's focus on the mission" I says "yeah, you're right" she says

After a while we reaches the village "put your hands up, we don't want them to think we are a threat. Use your force in your legs to not fall from the horse" I do as she says and raise my hands

When we enters the village Octavia tells the Grounders something in Trigedasleng before we get off the horses, she was telling them that we are coming in peace, I think.

"Liar, I've seen your face. You were at the battle of the Mountain" a Grounder tells Octavia "they're Skaikru" he realises

"Your guns killed our brothers and sisters. Warriors sent by the commander to keep you safe" he says

"We're not on their side-" I says "let me" Octavia cuts me off, I nods before she speaks up

"I am sorry for your loss, but I am here to warn you that the soldiers who did that are coming right now. They want your land and they will kill all of you to get it. You need to leave this place, right now"

"Are you threatening us?" The Grounder says before he kicks Octavia "hey!" I says raising my knife before the Grounder punches me as well

"Mary, back off. I got this" Octavia says as she stands up, raising her blade. She speaks with the Grounder as I stands up too

Some kid steps up, Octavia told me she helped some kid Pike's crew were willing to kill, I think that was him

"You're the one who saved Gabriel?" The Grounder asks. Octavia nods "don't leave" he says "you couldn't have said something before I got kicked in the face?" Octavia tells the kid

"You good?" I asks her "yeah, are you?" She asks "I think I have a minor concussion, I'll be find" I says "I should've trained you more with a blade before you came here" she says

"Hey. I love my gun" I says making her laugh "Abby should check your weird obsession with guns" she says

"I had enough visits at the Medical this week" I laughs as we walks towards Helios

Murphy loves guns, I think he loves them because he's suck at aiming with knifes, swords or blades. The dude wouldn't be able to aim even if it was depends on his life

Murphy never liked the way Grounders do everything, he's not really a big fun of the Grounders in general

But his dislike towards the Grounders isn't like Pike, they tortured him, many times. He likes to act like he's tough but inside he's just scared, like all of us

Some of us learn how to leave with the fear that the ground brings with it, maybe even learn how to manage it

Some of us don't. Jasper can't handle the fear and the stress. I am trying to find some peace by fighting this wars, I am fighting for both of us, but there always will be the next war. I am getting tired honestly

But no matter how tired I am I won't give up. Octavia taught me this. I look up to her, I thinks she's very strong and I learn a lot from her.

"You can pet him if you want" Octavia notices the boy she saved has been staring her Helios, he smiles before Octavia places his hand on the Helios, letting him pet him

"Gavriel!" The Grounder walks towards him, he tells him something making the kid walks away "he told him to pack his things" Octavia whispers to me

"His parents were warriors. Both killed by Skaikru guns" the Grounder says "you decided to leave" Octavia says

"As you say, we're not match for Skaikru" he says "what you're doing is as brave as going into battle, Semet" Octavia says before we hears indistinct conversation catching Octavia's attention

"What is it?" I asks as she starts walking to a could have Grounders putting some burning material on sticks. I follows her

"What is this?" Octavia asks the Grounders "you think you know us?" He asks "you know nothing, girls" he adds. I hear a scream before everything turns blank.

When I was with Octavia she taught me some things about the Grounders. One of them was that if someone knocks you out, if you wake up and you still hear their voice or conversation around you, you don't move, no matter what.

I wake up, I have no idea if Octavia have woken up yet, she probably did and does the same. But I don't move at all, as she taught me to

I don't really have any chance to move anyway, I was tied up.

I hear a conversation between two Grounders, I don't understand anything, I wait for Octavia to react. I should probably learn Trigedasleng soon because I could use understanding what they're saying right now

I hear a truck getting close, I figured it was our people. When the Grounder walks away I opens my eyes

"What do we do now?" I asks before Octavia starts biting the rope that was tying her, she losses the grip of the rope and stands up before she unties me as well

"Impressive" I says before we starts running towards her horse "quick!" She says as I gets up on the horse. The Grounders noticed we woke up and some of them was trying to pull us down from the horses, Octavia quickly kicks him "Hya!" She starts riding the horse

"Bellamy, get them out there!" Octavia yells as we sees Pike's crew "it's a trap!" I yells "incoming, take over" Bellamy says as the Grounder fires an arrows with fire in it to the sticks with the material they made

"The smoke is poison!" Octavia yells "shit. Is it?" I starts to panic "fall back. Fall back. Stay away from the smoke. Get back to the Rover" Bellamy says before the smoke starts getting big so me and Octavia gets out of there

We watches Monty brings Monroe, "Monroe" I says getting off the horse, she was gasping for air "how the hell did they know?" Bryan says

"Monroe!" Bellamy says as she slowly stops breathing "no" I says "your sisterdid this" Hannah says "with you" she adds "how the hell did she know?" Bryan says before he looks at me

"How do you think? We have traitor in this camp" Hannah looks at me, I stands up and walks away towards Octavia as they were taking care of Monroe "they are onto me" I says, before she could answer two grounders pulls me and Octavia to the Ground

I gasps before I notices a blade on my neck that definitely kept me quiet. I looks at Octavia with a scared expression

Murphy's pov

"Please" I coughs "listen to me, okay. I don't know anything more about Clarke, all right? Listen I don't know anything" I says

The Grounders who found me brought me to some crazy bald man named Titus. And then again, I was tortured by a Grounder. Like I haven't got enough of that shit

"Forget about Clarke. Tell me about this" he says raising the chip Jaha gave me to the city of light

"Hold on, hold on. Wait, wait, wait. Just listen to me, okay, Listen-" I says before Titus punches me a few times "Stop it!" I yells as he keeps hitting me

-

I wakes up, my whole body is in pain. I mess with the ropes that was tying my hands and legs, trying to get them free before Titus appears walking towards me

"Now you've had time to think, shall we continue our conversation about this?" He says putting the key in front of my face

"I already told you everything I know the first 10 times you asked me" I says "what you told me didn't make any sense. How did a sky person come to be in possession of our most holy symbol?" he says

"Holy? It's a corporate logo" I says before he gets closer to me and grabs me neck, he is so close to me I could feel his breath

"Wrong. This is the sacred symbol of the commander to whom I've dedicated my life. Now, how did you get this?" He asks

"Again, Jaha gave a t to me" I says. He leaves my neck "this would be Chancellor Jaha" he says "yes. He told me it was the key to the city of light and that if I swallow it, the woman in red would take me there" I says

"The woman who's not a woman" he say "yeah. That's right. She's a computer program, but I get that's hard for you to grasp, considering you pray for garbage" I says before he glares at me

"No offence, obviously" I quickly defends myself "tell me more about this computer program that ended the world" he says

"Come on. I don't have any details, okay? On the Ark they just told us it was countries, politics. Big surprise, they were wrong" I says

Meanwhile I was tortured by this maniac, another thing came up to my mind. When I told Titus this story of the city of light, I doubt he'd believe me, that sounds crazy

But what if Mary would believe Jaha? I don't know what happened on the kids in Mount Weather, I have no idea how it ended or if she got Jasper back

If she didn't and lost Jasper, she must've been in too much pain to even care if this story sounds crazy.

I should've think about this, I should've staid. She needs me there, and I am here.

I am trying to find comfort in the fact that Mary is a smart girl, I want to believe that she wouldn't fall for it

But I didn't took it because I knew what this bitch, Ali, have done. Mary doesn't, I bet Jaha wouldn't tell the people in Arkadia that this bitch ended the world

Shit.

Mary's pov

"Titus, what is this?" Lexa asks as the Grounder who took me and Octavia snaps into the commander room

"Octavia, Mary" Clarke says after a Grounder puts me and Octavia and our knees "oh, hi" I says, it sounded kinda muffle thanks to the kind Grounder who put a cloth on my mouth

The Grounder was speaking in Trigedasleng so I didn't really understand what he said since Octavia couldn't really translate me what they're saying. Again, thank you kind Grounder.

"What crimes? What happened?" Clarke asks "Skaikru attacked their village. Because their warriors were lost when your people massacred the army we had sent to protect you, their village was defenceless" Titus says

Everything started to get messy, everyone were yelling "blood must have blood" before Lexa storms out with Clarke and Titus with a few guards

While Clarke was gone with Lexa I had some time to think, I hate when I have time to think

Pike would think I have told Octavia about the attack, he would kill me the second I'd walk into Arkadia. Bellamy wouldn't be able to stop him, he would think I am a traitor too

In my head being a traitor to this crew is a good thing, but I can't really help anyone if I am dead. At least they'd be off Kane, that's a good thing.

Maybe my death will give them some time to do something, so it wouldn't be that wasteful.

"Today, I call the armies of the 12 clans to march on Arkadia" Lexa walks back into the room, the people in the room were cheering "Not to attack but to contain" she adds making the room gets quite

"We will blockade the 13th clan. We will keep them from the lands they wish to possess. We will give them time to take out their leaders from within. Once they rise up against them, then we will welcome them back as one of us" she explains

"You heard the commander. Send riders. Tell your armies to set up a buffer zone around Arkadia. 5 miles should be enough to keep them away from our villages. What are their orders, head?" Titus says

"Any Skaikru caught across the line will be subject to a kill order" Lexa says, I looks at Clarke with stress

"Heda, I do not understand. How is this vengeance?" The Grounder that took me and Octavia asks

"That is not vengeance, my brother. It's justice" Lexa says "Skaikru killed my sons and my brothers and my wife! If the spirit of the commander will not protect us, than what will?" He says

"You mind yourself, Semet" Titus says, the Grounder yells something before he pulls his knife out and walks towards Lexa but quickly gets stopped and stabbed by Titus "Blood must have blood" Titus says as he looks at Lexa.
