At the feel of someone touching me while sleeping had be alert immediately and the grip on my knife hidden under my pillow become ready to attack whoever dared to attack me. However, before I could attack my body relaxed as the scent of the person reached me followed by their calming voice. "Clarke Ai Hodnes it's time to go." letting go of my blade I turn to face by soon to be bonded. Luna kom Floukru the night blood who ran away from the conclave and became the leader of Floukru the only clan who want nothing to do with war or fighting. It's one of the reasons this clan appealed to me. Other than their leader of course. I came here a few months after I committed genocide at Mount Weather. I wasn't looking for the ocean clan but somehow, I stumbled into the clan who try to hid themselves from the world. People come here to escape the pain of war so you could say I was draw here for the same reason.

When I first arrived, Luna knew who I was and welcome me. Apparently Heda and Sky crew had sent out search parties for the missing sky crew leader Wanheda. A Bounty was put on my head by the ice Queen herself Nia. The leader of Azgeda the most brutal and fearsome of all the clans. Not to mention the largest. Luna protected me even though I was known as the commander of the death. The thing that her clans stands against. When I first asked her why she helped me she told me of how she killed her brother in the conclave. That she was meant to be the next Heda not Lexa as Luna was the better fighter and would have probably won. But she didn't want the darkness that comes with winning the conclave so she ran. And in time the darkness in her faded leaving a peaceful but highly trained leader. She knew I wanted the darkness in me too and she gave me that chance.

That was almost three years ago. Three years since I last saw my friends and mother. They probably believed I had died in the woods. I wanted to let them know I was alive and I was happy but if people outside of my clan knew I was here other clans might attack to kill me so they can have the power of Wanheda. I couldn't let that happen to the people who accepted me as one of their own. I was no longer Clarke kom Skaikru I was Clarke kom Floukru. I worked as a healer until the head healer retired and put me in charge. Which came as a surprise to me but not the others healers since I apparently was the best suited for the job and they had agreed with her choice.

Which leds to why me and Luna have to leave the safety of Floukru to travel to the Capital where Heda has ordered that all clan leaders and lead healers are to meet. Luna was surprised when she heard this but assumed it was due to skaikru sharing information on their healing methods. But it has been two and half years since they were let in to the coalition so if it is to do with that then they waited a long time.

When Luna first told me that I had to travel to the capital with her I was scared. If I left then everyone would know where I'm hiding and I would have to face the people I left behind. Of course, Luna reassured me and helped me to come to peace with reuniting with the ark. After being seen in Polis with Luna many clans wouldn't risk war just to kill which meant that me revealing myself to the rest of the world wouldn't end in war.

"You know I would rather spend the day in this bed with you instead of travelling." I whisper in Luna's ear before laying slow kisses on her neck moving down to chest. A quiet moan slips out of her lips which encourages me to straddle her and attack her lips. After what seems like hours but is merely a few minute's Luna pulls back earning a slight sound of disapproval from me.

"If we keep this us I doubt we will be leaving any time soon." She says while slowly removing loses hairs from my face. Slowly I bring our lips together again in a slow kiss. "Clarke beja." She wines after pulling away yet again. Before I could respond she flips us so now she's on top and then hungry kisses me. After a few more minute's Luna pulls back and leaves the bed to get dressed. Leaving behind I very flushed and disappointed me. "Our guards will be ready to leave shortly." After watching my lover dress, I move to get dresses as well. My leather clothes always seem to be a little tight on me which makes me look far more attractive.

After grabbing a quick breakfast, we set off to the capital on horseback. Luna gifted me with a horse when we first starting being together. He was a beautiful grey horse with small white spots. I named him Jet. I know it wasn't really creative but when he gallops he's faster than any other horse in Floukru so the named seemed appropriate. The ride to the capital will take about five days at a steady rate so we will have to make camp at certain points and gave the horses a break. We're travelling with five guards for protection from bandits or nomads. Although it would take a lot of bandits to take both me and Luna down. She's the best fighter I've ever seen and she took to training me to defend myself for when I have to travel to villages outside of the main settlement. It was when we started training the attraction between us really stared to grow until we finally kissed.

Travelling by horse for five days tends to somewhat uncomfortable but after experience the pain subsides quicker. When Lexa told me that Polis would change the way I think about grounders. She wasn't wrong. The capital looks like what I always imagined a town would be like. There were merchants everywhere and heda's tower was a sight to see. I wonder if it survived the bombing or if it was built after. Either way it was huge which showed just how important it is. It's Heda's home and Ambassadors from other Clans.

When we first reached the gates to the city it was dark and the entrance was light up with fire which made it look more impressive. Luna introduced us but she left out who I was and the guards couldn't see my face via the hood I was wearing. We didn't want my name to reach Heda before we made our appearance in the throne room with the other clans. Luna said the shock of being the healer of our clan will throw them off guard which will make it slightly easier to figure out what every clan thinks of me. This way she can see which clans might become a threat. If they hear about me beforehand they can prepare themselves for when I enter this way they can't. Honestly, I think she wants to make a dramatic entrance and show she's not afraid since many believe she should be killed after running away from the conclave.

We also agreed that we would keep our relationship quiet for as long as we can due to us both being targets and when our relationship comes out we will be in more danger. We even have separate rooms. But I highly doubt both of those rooms will be used. After the mountain I would wake up screaming for having panic attacks. But ever since I've been sharing a bed with Luna those nights have lessen. I still have the dreams sometimes but there less dramatic. Also, the whole Lexa kissed me years ago might cause some tension between her and Luna. I told Luna everything that happened to me and she did the same. There are no secrets between us. At I don't think there are. Anyways hopefully Lexa moved on from me because if she does still like be things are going to get awkward very quickly.

After dropping our horse off at the stable the guards escorted our party to the tower show our room ro drop our gear off and then to the throne room. Apparently, we were the last clan to arrive but to be fair we do live the furthest away. In the throne room the first thing I saw was Lexa sat on her throne with Indra to her left and Titus to her right. Luna told me all about him and his job as the flame keeper. The other clans were forming a circle next to them. Our Ambassador sits alone close to the end of the circle across from Skaikru. Their party is made up of Kane my mom Raven Bellamy and Octavia. Goody the extract people I was hoping to avoid for a while why I figure out what the heck I'm going to say to them.

Taking our place next to our Ambassador Lexa begins to talk. "Luna how kind of you to travel all this way with your healer." At Luna's nod Lexa continues. " Now I'm sure your all interest in my calling you all here. It has recently come to my attention there is a new sickness starting to spread through the Clans so I've called you all here to inform you of this sickness and teach your healers how to handle this sickness as it can kill very quickly." A worried look was shared among all the clans and quick glance at Luna shows she has same look.

"How does it spread." My mom asks trying to figure out the best way to stop the sickness from hurting the ark. The other clans just as interested.

"We're not sure." Lexa says sounding slightly defeated. I would feel sorry for her if I was still a little angry over her abandoning me at the Mountain. Sickness us spreading normally by two ways air or touch. So, it's probably an air born sickness like the plague that Anya sent to my camp all those years ago.

"What are the symptoms when infected." Drawing everyone's attention especially Skaikru. I guess now would be the best time to reveal myself as my old clan are staring at me trying to figure how they know my voice. Same with Lexa. After sharing a quick smirk at Luna, I drop my earning a sudden gasp from everyone. Ignoring everyone's staring I continue. "Does the sickness come in stages or does it all hit at once.

After a few moments of silence from everyone. I come to the conclusion I have broke everyone. Luna is barely able to keep herself from laughing at everyone's look. It seems no thought the great Wanheda would become a healer with the boat people. The clan who want's nothing to do with fighting or war. The other clans seem to regain their senses and look over to a very frozen Heda waiting for her to answer. Titus is the one to answer for her since she doesn't seem to be un freezing anytime soon. "It starts off as a small cough then it gets worse until your coughing up blood and end up choking to death." What a pleasant way to die. But again, is similar to what Anya sent but different. I nod in thanks then step back so I'm level with Luna.

"Clarke." My mom's voice comes out filled with surprise and happiness. It seems that they are starting to come back to their senses. I gave her a smile in return. "Where have you been this whole time." He all but demands with anger coming into her voice. I expected that reaction since I left without telling anyone goodbye but Bellamy and have been gone for three years.

"We can discuss this after the meeting mom." I tell her really wanting to avoid having this conversation in front of other people. Or ever if possible. If I run fast enough I could hide in Luna's room. That could work. A slight nudge from Luna is basically telling me I can't run from this. I deflate slightly at this. I wish she didn't so me so well otherwise m plan would be do able.

During mine and my mother's quick conversation Lexa seemed to have come back to herself and continues the meeting. "Tomorrow the healers we gather to learn how to deal with this sickness will the rest of discuss how to control it and other matter." With a wave of her hand she dismisses up but before I could leave she speaks again. "Luna a word." Me and Luna stop and turn to each other. We talked about facing my old people together but it seems I'm going to have to do it solo now. Great. As I go to leave Luna brush her hand against mine giving me a bit of comfort.

Leaving the throne room, I start moving to where I'm supposed to be staying. Hearing footsteps behind informs me that my mother and friends are hot on my trail as well as two of our five guards. Entering my room, I leave the door open for them to follow. After they all entered the guards shut the door giving us some privacy.

"So, how's everyone been since the last time I saw you." I saw knowing this is not the best way to start but not really knowing any way to start it better. Before anyone could respond I get knocked to the floor when someone jumps on me hugging me.

"Your alive you bitch we were so worried why didn't you ever tell us you were alive." Comes from a muffled Raven who was the person who jumped on me. Not going to lie it did hurt a bit landing on the solid stone wall but it was worth it.

"A bounty was put on me and if people know where I was my village would have been attacked and I couldn't let that happen I'm sorry." I say truthy hugging her back. Our relationship didn't start of the best with me sleeping with her boyfriend then killing said boyfriend but we were best friends and I have really missed her these past few years. "God I've missed you." Tears started to fill my eyes and I knew Raven was crying because I could feel it on my neck.

"Raven get off her some can hug her." Octavia says from somewhere behind me which actually surprises me since we left things with not being friends after I let a missile land on her. With a little resistance I unpeel myself from Raven's hug and stand up. Only to be tackled into a by O. "I hate you for leaving but I'm so glad your back."

"As much as I love seeing you and hugging you could we please not do it on the floor. It's not as comfy as it looks." We share a small laugh before standing up. Looking at O in full grounder gear shows me that she was always meant to be a grounder. " I see life has treated you well the last few years." I say trying to make a conversation seem normal.

"Yeah. A few months after you left Lexa lifted the kill order on Lincoln and Indra took me back as her second. I've been spending my time split between Arkadia and Ton DC. It's been great. Lincoln and I actually got bonded a year ago." I smile at this. Anyone could tell just how crazy they are about each other.

"I'm really happy for you O." After giving me another hug, she moves back and Bell moves forward. I guess were doing this one at a time. "Bell." Is all I say before he pulls me into a hug.

"You shouldn't have left but I'm glad you ok." He whispers to me and I hug him tighter. I know it must have been hard for him after what we did in Mount Weather and it was unfair to leave him to deal with everything that happened but I couldn't step foot I that camp and I still don't think I can.

When he steps back Kane bring me into a quick and awkward hug and he says he's glad I'm ok. that only leaves my mom. Our relationship like Octavia didn't end the best. We're both far too stubborn to let things go like her killing my dad and having me killed when I was going to turn eighteen and the whole treating me like a child. While she couldn't stand me being in charge or the fact that I let a missile hit the village. "Hi mom." I say very unsure on what to say next.

"You've been alive all this time." She chokes with barely contained tears. At my nod this pulls me into a hug which I fully return. Even though we don't always get along she's still my mom and I love her. "I was so worried about you. You just left and we couldn't find you." Again, she chokes a little while sobbing into my shoulder. "We thought. We thought you were dead."

I laugh a little at this which causes my mother to pull back and look at me with confusion. "It will take more than some woods to kill the Great Wanheda." I gave her a cocky smile to reassure her that I'm ok and that she shouldn't worry about me as much. But then again, she's a mom and she will always worry. A knocking at my door stops whatever she was about to say. "Come in" I say guessing it will be Luna since my guards are cool with this person heading into my room.

And I was right as Luna walks through the door alongside Lincoln. I remember both Lincoln and her talking about how good friends they were years ago. It seems like I'm not the only one catching up. "Clarke." Lincoln says before pulling me into a hug. I've never been hugged this much in my entire life. "When Luna said you were her lead healer I had to see it for myself." He says pulling away and walking over to stand next to O. At the same time Luna comes to stand next to me.

"Lincoln never seems to believe me." Luna says earning a small chuckle from Lincoln and a glare from O. I guess someone's a little jealous. she then turns to address everyone gather in my room. "Hello I'm Luna I led Floukru." After a quick introduction in given we all go to the dining room for something to eat. The conversation is light while Luna's secretly holds my hand under the table. From the corner of my eye I can see Lexa watching me intensely. I guess she still has thing for me. Octavia is still jealous with Luna and Lincolns closeness and Luna seems to be just as aware as I am and is enjoying tormenting O with flirty comments which Lincoln doesn't notice as he is well aware she's only interested in girls. And to add to that mother keeps looking at me and Luna with suspicion. Especially when we both move to retire to our own rooms at the same time. But I really don't care about her suspicion.

In Luna's room we both quickly get undressed and then cuddle in the bed. "I know your dying to ask." She says with a smile in her voice while running a hand through my hair. While I lay oh her chest.

"What did you and Lexa talk about after the meeting." I ask generally curious.

"She wanted to know how long you've been staying with me and why I never thought to tell her. I then reminded her that I don't have to tell her everything and you didn't want to found. Which of course pissed her off so we then argued until I said at least I've never betrayed her and she kicked me out." I laugh at this. If anyone else said something like that to Heda she would have them killed. Well maybe not if I said it.

"Great day one and we've already pissed her off. This trip is going to be great." We both laugh because we know that our relationship will surely annoy her. This trip is going to get very dramatic very quickly.
