Clarke had an unrestful sleep, between her unbearable nightmares filled with the innocents that she murdered and the decision that she had to make by the morning. She knew that she had to go to TonDC if she wanted to make sure that her people would be safe and that she did not commit genocide to save people that were going to die 3 days later. Knowing this did not make the decision any easier for her to make. Going to TonDC meant that she would have to confront Lexa. She would then have to face all her people which just reminder her of the awful things that she had to do.

By the time the sun rose Clarke and Zoron had packed up the few supplies they had and were ready to start their journey to TonDC. Zoron lead Clarke through the trees for a few minutes before they came across a large horse munching on some grass tried to a sturdy tree.

Zoron turned back to Clarke and smiled warmly seeing the apprehension in her gaze that was directed at the horse. "If you are not comfortable with riding a horse with me, I am happy to walk along beside while you ride," he reassured her, as he did not want Clarke to feel uncomfortable or uneasy on their trip.

Clarke smiled at his kindness and responded, "No, I will be be fine. Walking will just prolong our trip anyway." With that, Zoron effortlessly lifted himself onto horse given his size and strength. Clarke on the other hand was not so sure she would be able to get on the horse so easily. Zoron sensed this and helped her onto the horse behind him. Clarke cautiously wrapped her hands around his waist.

Once both were settled they began their trip to TonDC.

The closer they got to TonDC, the more nervous Clarke became. What was she going to do when she saw Lexa again? Clarke knew that as soon as she was reunited with the commander it was going to be difficult to hate her for her abandoning their plans at Mount Weather but also knew that it was going to take a long time to forgive her and trust her again.

As Clarke and Zoron approached the gate, he helped Clarke dismount the horse and then got off himself. They were met with Indra at the makeshift gate. She gave Zoron a curt nod then turned to face Clarke, "Heda requested that I direct you to her tent once you arrive, Wanheda," Indra informed her with respect in her tone. That was unexpected Clarke thought to herself as she nodded and followed her through TonDC to the largest tent that was most likely Lexas.

As she walked through the village she received respectful acknowledgements from almost everyone one she passed which surprised Clarke to no end. Indra stopped outside the tent and lifted the flap for enter. Clarke took in a deep breath in and out and hesitantly stepped into the tent. To her surprise Indra and Zoron remained outside.

The tent looked much like Lexas one before the Mountain, it could have even been the same one. She looked around the tent but saw no sign of Lexa and she began to wonder what was happening. Thats when Lexa emerged from the small closed off area where she most likely slept.

The sight of Lexa made Clarkes breathe catch in her chest. She wasnt wearing her usual war paint and had no amour on, just a simple navy long sleeve shirt and light black pants which highlighted her curves perfectly. Clarke found herself staring longer than what would be considered socially accepted and quickly averted her gaze. If the brunette noticed Clarke starring, she did not show it as she simply said, "Clarke" rolling the 'r' like she always did.

Clarke tried to make herself remember that Lexa would always put her people first and that she left Clarke and her people to die, but the commander was making it incredibly difficult.

Clarke couldnt think of what to say so she just replied as coldly as she could, "Commander."

The blonde saw hurt wash over Lexas face that would have gone unnoticed to everyone but Clarke, before her usual cold, commander facade took over. Lexa decided to get straight to the point as judging by the way Clarke had addressed her, she now hated Lexa. "I am sure Zoron has informed you of my intentions, I plan on travelling to the Skaikru camp in one weeks time to discuss the future of our people," the brunette stated rather formally.

"I dont know if my people will ever want to be in an alliance you again after what you did last time." Clarke muttered under her breath.

Lexa clenched her jaw, but other than that, made no effort to acknowledge Clarke comment. "I have had a tent put up for you while you stay here, can get a warm bath running and arrange for some clean clothes if thats what you would like?" She looked at Clarke in question.

Lexas last comment made her aware of the state that she was in, her hair was matted and dirty, she hadnt had a shower in about a week and her clothes were caked in mud. Clarke begrudgingly nodded to her in thanks.

Lexa have her a small smile and Clarkes heart stopped beating. She forced herself to just stare at Lexa in the eyes impassively. She knew that she should be more angry at Lexa but her smile was drop dead gorgeous and all Clarke wanted to do was to make her smile more often. Lexas words snapped her out of her trance, "Clarke?"

"Um... I... What did you say sorry?" Clarke cursed herself, keep it together Clarke she told herself blushing slightly. She hoped that Lexa did not notice.

"Would you like Zoron to show you to you tent?" Lexa repeated. Clarke nodded in reply not trusting herself to speak.

After taking a long warm bath, removing all the dirt from her skin and washing her chair, Clarke noticed that it was almost dusk. As she had nothing else to do, Clarke started to braid her hair like she used to on the ark. Just as she was tying off the end she heard a knock on her tent post. She was not sure who it would be but called back, "come in!"

Lexa stepped into the tent carrying a tray of what smelt like freshly cooked rabbit and Clarkes mouth watered. "I thought you might be hungry?" Lexa asked.

"Thank you, Commander." Clarke responded carefully avoiding using the other leaders given name. Lexa placed the food on the table in Clarkes room and turned to leave. She was stopped by Clarke asking, "Why did you send Zoron to follow me and give me supplies?"

"Because I care about you, Clarke." Lexa replied honestly before she could stop herself.

"You dont care about anyone!" Clarke snapped. Before the brunette could protest, she continued, "You left me to die!" Tears threatened to spill over Clarkes cheeks but she wiped them with her sleeve. "I trusted you! We had a plan, we could have defeated the mountain together! And I wouldnt have had to kill all those innocent people!"

Lexas facade dropped and her emotions took over. Clarke could hear the utter sincerity in her voice as she spoke, "I am sorry Clarke, but I could never have turned down their deal. Believe me I wish I could. If I did not have the lives of thousands resting on my shoulders, I would have stayed and I would have pulled the lever for you, but I will never have that luxury."

"I know," Clarke admitted tears now freely running over her cheeks. "I understand what you had to do, I would have done the same thing. But it still hurts because I... I care for you even after what you have done."

Clarke could see that Lexa had tears threatening fall, as she confessed, "Moba Clarke."
