So, do it. Decide.
Is this the life
you want to live?
Is this the person
you want to love?
Is this the best you can be?
Can you be stronger?
Kinder? More compassionate?
Decide.
Breathe in.
Breathe out
and decide.

-Meredith Grey.

The travelling group of Grounders and Sky people settled down about ten miles from Tondc, their end destination, the place where they could say the last goodbye's to Finn his dead body.

Bellamy and Scarlett both approach Clarke, "It's safer on our side, you know." Scarlett said as she noticed what her sister was planning.

"We need to trust them, Scarlett. Their are no more sides." Clarke told her, before turning away and settling down where the Grounders slept.

"Always acting like the fucking peace maker." Scarlett growled lowly, eyeing Clarke as her eyes were distant.

Hallucinating.

Bellamy drapped his arm around her shoulder, giving Scarlett a tiny grin, which she returned. "Let her be, babe."

"Yeah, lets let her do her abracadabra stuff on them." Scarlett agreed, walking to an empty space on the ground.

"I swear, I'm about to beat his face into Grounder noodle soup." Scarlett growled as she threw her last knife on to the pile of weapons that were gathered in front of the gates of Tondc.

Bellamy grinned, "I would love to see that but it's not the smartest thing right now." He kissed the side of her head and started to strip of his weapons too.

Havoc started as soon as they entered Tondc. Scarlett roamed her eyes over the whole place, ignoring the accusing screams of the Grounders. It looked decent and cozy but gave a dangerous and warning look for the people to not enter. Clarke's pleading shouts caused Scarlett to snap back to all the havoc, a sigh of relief escaping her lips as she saw that none of her people were in trouble.

"Commander, stop him, please. They'll blame us for this too."

"Let him live. The sky people march with us now. Anyone who tries to stop that will pay with their life." Lexa spoke to her people, leaving a small trace of a smile on Scarlett her face.

"Warm welcome." Bellamy said, sarcasm dripping of his voice.

Scarlett grinned, "I know."

A while later the citizens of Tondc and the Sky people stood around the grave of the dead Grounders and Finn. Scarlett face showed no emotion when Lexa welcomed them, speaking in their laguage. Lincoln translated for the people who did not spoke Trigedasleng.

Lexa was handed the torch that would burn the bodies, but she seeme to hesitate. She looked at Clarke and Scarlett, who stood side by side. "Clarke. Scarlett." She spoke. The sister stepped forward, Scarlett glancing back at her people.

They both take the torch, slowly lowering it to the pyre and watched it as it catched on fire.

"Yu gonplei ste odon." Scarlett spoke, suprising the Grounders and some of her people. She felt one tear slip down her cheek as Clarke repeated the phrase, but she ignored it and went back to her place where she stood before.
