"Mom!" Clarke calls as we enter back into camp

"Mom!" Clarke calls as we enter back into camp.

"Where have you been? We're leaving." She scolds as her and Jaha meet us.

"We know how to stop the attack." Clarke says as Abby's eyebrows furrow.

"What are you talking about?"

"We haven't been able to negotiate with the grounders because we haven't had anything to offer them." Clarke explains. "The biggest threat they face is the reapers, I think we may be able to eliminate that threat for them once and for all."

"How?" Abby asks.

"Abby, you can't seriously-" Jaha stops talking as he looks behind us.

We turn around also as I see small fire torches in the distance all lining up around camp, meaning the grounders were here.

"They're here." Jaha says.

"Come on, we'll discuss this inside." Abby orders as we all follow her into the Ark.

We reach the chancellors room as we all stand around the table situated in the middle of the room.

"They're not attacking yet, which means we still have time." I point out.

"We have two hours till dawn." Abby says.

"Let me talk to the commander, Sawyer will come too." Clarke tells her.

"We don't even know if the commander is here." Jaha says but Finn is quick to interrupt.

"Yes we do, Nyko told us." He says as he looks to Abby. "You have to at least let them try." The room remains silent for a moment before Jaha can be heard again.

"Abby, we're wasting time." He says to her as I scoff.

"In case you're forgetting, they have my father and if you think I'm leaving here without him then you're sorely mistaken, so, if you want to leave? Then just leave." I growl, fed up with him now.

"Maybe it's time to consider the other possibilities-"

"What? That he's dead?" I raise my voice as I walk around the table to stand in front of him but he choose to remain silent.

"Until I see my fathers dead body in front of me, he isn't dead." I tell him, sternly.

"Wait," Abby says as I turn back to everyone else. "The detox alone could kill Lincoln."
