<< Introduction >>

"What are you doing here?" Lexa asks, through gritted teeth but Jaha chuckles.

"You're needed commander," Jaha speaks calmly, but Lexa tilts her head. "Now we can do this the easy way or the hard. It's up to you-"

"Stop!" Clarke's voice is heard from down the hall. Lexa clenches her jaw and steps out from behind Titus.

"Now you've already lost someone you care about, hate to see what happens when you lose who she cared about-"

"Don't you dare!" Lexa raises her voice. Jaha brings his arms from around him and brings them in front of him. He looks directly at Lexa for a brief moment.

"I'll tell you what. I'll give you a choice-" Jaha pauses and reaches into his pocket. "Do you want to see Y/N again?"

"Do not speak of her name!" Lexa takes a step forward. Jaha nods and holds up a tiny little bite size item. Something of that resemble the flame. Lexa's eyes widen a moment before she concentrates and keeps her eyes on Jaha's.

"I can provide that for you. To let you see her once again-"

"I said don't speak of her!" Lexa runs towards the man. Immediately the grounders surroundign the room go fast towards their Heda, blocking her path. She gets through two of them before more gather and manage to take a hold of her. Punches and swings from the end of their spears attack her causing her to become weak, falling to her knees. At her most vulnerable two guards keep her held up on her knees, pinning her arms behind her back, but lean her head up.

"I wish you wouldn't of done that...But still I give you a choice-" Jaha pauses bending down in front of the girl. "This chip right here... It will take you a place where there is no pain. A place where you can see Y/N again."

"You are a liar," Lexa gets out through her heavy breathes. Another chuckle escapes Jaha as he flings the chip into the air and then catches it in the palm of his hands.

"I'm not because I'm there already. I feel no pain. I'm happy but you...You're the key to everything."

"W-What are you talking about?"

"The flame. The one you have inside of you. It's the key to destroying our happiness, but...But you can help us." Lexa's eyes go back and forth between the man's eyes shaking her head. "You can help us by surrendering the flame and taking the chip."

"I have a duty to the flame. You're not getting it-" Before the words could escape Lexa's lips Titus comes up and tries his best to attack Titus. But it doesn't last as one of the grounders takes the spears and drives it through his chest. Lexa's eyes go wide and her jaw drops a bit watching Titus fall to the ground. "Yu gonplei ste odon."

"Right. Now that, that's happened. Bring her to the throne room," Jaha orders standing up. He turns on his feet and heads out of Lexa's chambers. Quickly the two grounders holding Lexa down get her to her feet and drag her out of the room and down the halls on down to the throne room.

Inside Lexa's immediately taken to her throne chair. On her way their her eyes lock with Clarke's who's tied up to the post. The same one the last mountain man had been tied too. Their eyes stay locked and Clarke gives the commander a sad glance before their contact is cut off. The grounders take Lexa to her chair and sit her on it, tying her hands to the arms and tying her feet together tightly. She stays seated in the chair, struggling from time to time looking around the room. It only contained Abby, Clarke, and Jaha and her now as the grounders leave.

"Well now isn't this a party!" Jaha speaks standing in the middle with Abby. Lexa's eyes stay focused on them knowing the situation she was in was not good. The whole situation now was bad, but she knew she had to be the fearless commander she's always been. Even if right now none of her people were listening.

"The flame. How do we get it out?" Clarke's mother Abby questions. Neither Lexa or Clarke answer. They stay quiet as Abby asks once again. But neither one of them speak...again. They keep their silence.

"Fine. We'll try something else-" Jaha pauses and turns walking over to the left, his right. He walks over and grabs rope tying a noose. Abby walks over and helps as she climbs up and ties it to something up above. Lexa watches with questions and confusion filling her mind but her face stays emotionless as she watches. But the sound of Clarke's voice raspy and on the verge of breaking, Lexa knows this isn't going to go well.

"That'll help us with Clarke but Lexa..." Jaha's voice trails off. Lexa's eyes switch from him to Abby who climbs up onto a barrel and puts the noose around her neck.

"Don't do this!" Clarke shouts. "A.L.I.E if she does this you'll never get what you want!"

"But this will be on you Clarke. You're the one killing me," Abby speaks back.

"Exactly, but as for Lexa-" Jaha speaks. He walks around Clarke and stands behind her looking to Lexa. Lexa looks back at him tilting her to the side. "You only really cared about one person...Like I've said I'll give you the option one last time...You take the chip and you can see Y/N again."

"Lexa no! DO NOT take that chip!" Clarke shouts just as the barrel beneath Abby's feet falls out underneath her. Clarke immediately starts breaking down as a shocked expression takes over Lexa. She looks away and to Jaha.

"How can I take your word for this...This chip?" Lexa asks, keeping her head tilted. A small smile dances on Jaha's lips as he pulls out the chip and bends down in front of the commander. Her eyes never leave his.

"Because I'm already there. All of us are except for you and Clarke," Jaha explains. "This place is where everyone will find peace. Happiness. A place where you and Y/N can be together again. All you have to do-"

"LEXA THERE'S ANOTHER WAY!" Clarke shouts causing Lexa to pick up her head and look past the past chancellor. "There's another way...But if you take that chip, you're going to get us all killed." Lexa drops her head and bites her lip a bit. A war breaks out in her head knowing deep down she wanted nothing more than to see Y/N again. But knew that the dead are gone...The living are hungry. A soft, unnoticeable sigh escapes her lips and she shakes her head picking it up.

"I'm not taking the chip," she stated causing Jaha to squint his eyes, but nonetheless he stands. He walks over to a little table and picks up a fireplace poker and walks back to the commander. Lexa watches, no fear on her face as she watches Jaha rise the weapon.

"Apologies-" Jaha speaks but gets cut off by the doors opening quickly. Murphy and Bellamy come in quickly with guns.

"Bellamy stop him!" Clarke shouts. Immediately a gun shot goes off and Jaha falls to the ground dropping the stick. Lexa watches the man fall before picking up her eyes to the scene in front of her, noticing Murphy cutting down Clarke's mother and Bellamy aiding to Clarke. But it's not long before Clarke gets untied that she and Bellamy rush to Lexa and untie her.

"What is going on?" Lexa questions finally standing and wiping at her nose to rid of the blood. "

"All we know is you're the key to stop A.L.I.E," Clarke says, adding. "And I'm pretty sure there's a way to get Y/N back. Well Raven said she may be able to if she's in there."

"In where?" Lexa questions quickly her eyes softening.

"In the City of Light..."
