Clarke Griffin walked over to the tent that some grounders had led her too, she watched cautiously as a grounder walked over to her.

" If you so much as look at her, the wrong way, I will slit your throat " he threatens before holding open the tent door.

She walked in slowly with the man behind her and saw a girl with brunette hair and green eyes standing next to a dark skinned woman, who was glaring at her as they stood next to an intimidating looking girl that looked to be her age that sat on a throne with black war paint covering her eyes but Clarke could still see the vibrant grey/blue and Clarke would say she was pretty, beautiful even if she wasn't so scary looking.

" You're the one, who burned 300 of my warriors alive " Kota spoke as she looked at the dagger she was fiddling with in her hands.

" You're the one that sent them there to kill us " Clarke replied trying to swallow her nerves.

Kota looked at her before stabbing the end of the dagger into the arm rest of her throne.

" Do you have an answer for me.......Clarke of the sky people? " Kota questioned coldly.

" I've come to make you an offer " Clarke replied.

" This is not a negotiation " Kota scoffed at the blonde.

" Let me kill her and get this over with " Indra spoke as she glared at Clarke but Kota held a hand up and the woman stopped.

" I can help you beat the mountain men " Clarke continued.

Kota looked at her with Interest as she placed the dagger on her lab " Go on ".

" Hundreds of your people are trapped inside mount weather, kept in cages, their blood is used as medicine" Clarke said

" How do you know this? " Kota questioned.

" Because I saw them.....my people are prisoners there too....I was one of them " Clarke replied.

" Lies.....no one escapes the mountain " Indra glared at Clarke.

" I did " Clarke said looking at Indra before looking back at Kota " With Anya, we fought our way out together ".

The mention of her mentor piked her interest.

" Another lie, Anya died in the fire, you killed her " Indra scoffed.

Clarke then reached into her pocket causing the warriors in the room to place a hand on their weapons and Clarke paused for a moment before pulling out a lock of Anya's hair.

" She told me, she was your mentor " Clarke said before giving the hair to Kota, who grabbed it with a soft look.

" We don't know it's hers " Indra argued.

" Quiet Indra " Kota hissed as she looked at the hair in her hand.

" Anya was my mentor before I was called to lead my people, when I was 12 " Kota said to Clarke before she placed the hair on the table besides her " Did she die well? ".

" Yes.....by my side trying to get a message to you " Clarke told her reassuringly.

" What message? " Kota demanded as she looked at the girl.

" The only way to save both our people is, if we join together " Clarke said.

" Those, who are about to die will say anything " Indra hissed.

" I'm still waiting for an offer, Clarke " Kota looked at her sternly.

" The mountain men are turning your people into reapers " Clarke told her " I can turn them back.

" Impossible " Indra snapped " Commander, I beg you let me kill her ".

" I've done it with Lincoln " Clarke added.

" That traitor was the reason my villager was slaughtered by your people " Indra hissed a hand on her sword as she stalked over to Clarke.

" Enough " Kota roared as she stood.

Indra glared at her before storing off the other side of the tent.

Kota walked down from her throne and looked up at Clarke " You say you can turn reaper back into men? ".

" yes " Clarke nodded nervously.

" Then prove it " Kota hissed " Show me, Lincoln ".

⎯

Clarke was currently leading Kota, Indra, Lexa, Gustus and some grounder warriors to the dropship and was praying that by the time they got there that Abby and Clarke had cured Lincoln.

" Heda, are you sure we should trust them? " Lexa asked her commander and friend.

" No......" Kota replied " But if she lies, Indra gets to kill her ".

" Thank Heda " Indra nodded at the young girl.

After a while, they had finally arrived to the dropship, the commander and grounders looked at the ash and bones scattered across the ground knowing they were their peoples as they walked to the entrance.

Clarke swallowed a lump in her throat before stopping in front of the entrance and turned to the commander, who was already looking at her.

" This way " Clarke nodded to the entrance of the dropship and walked inside and walked up the ladder opening the door above her and saw Octavia sobbing over Lincoln's body.

She moved away from the ladder and looked at Abby, who shook her head and Clarke felt the air leave her body as the commander entered and saw Lincoln's motionless body, she then looked at Clarke as Indra and Lexa

Clarke looked at Bellamy, who's hand reached for his gun and Clarke looked at Kota, who looked beyond angry, Clarke watched in despair as the commander nodded at Indra.

" I'll kill them all " Indra said as she drew her sword and pointed it at Clarke's neck causing Bellamy to grab his gun quickly.

" Please, you don't have to do this " Clarke pleaded with the commander.

" You lied......and you're out of time " Kota glared.

Indra pressed the blade against Clarke's throat causing a trail of blood to fall.

Abby grabbed the taser from the floor and ignited it and placed it on Lincoln's chest causing his chest to move causing everyone to look at the scene in shock.

" Hit him again " Clarke demanded looking at Abby, which caused her neck to bleed more as it pressed against Indra's sharp blade.

Abby did it again and Lincoln let out a gasp of air and everyone looked at him in shock as Octavia crawled over to him.

" Lincoln " Octavia said.

" Octavia " Lincoln said back.

Clakre felt the air return to her as she watched her friends before looking at the commander, who was sheathing her sword.

Clarke nodded at Kota as the commander looked at her.

⎯

Clarke was now with the commander in her throne tent as they stood across from each other at her war table.

" Lincoln's recovery was.......impressive " Kota trailed off as she placed a hand on the hilt of her sword " No one's ever survived such a fate before ".

" It's not complicated really.......we just have to keep them alive long enough for the drug to leave their system " Clarke explained pausing before saying " we can do the same for others ".

" You may have your truce " Kota respond after a moments silence.

" Thank you " Clarke smiled in relief.

" I just need one thing in return " Kota told her.

" Anything " Clarke replied.

" Deliver me the one you call Finn " the commander demanded causing Clarke's face to fall " Our truce ends.....with his death ".
