The Rebel Daughter - Clarke Griffin & Raven Reyes

CHAPTER 20 - LONG INTO AN ABYSS

THE WOODS

Amelie and Kane are on horses riding to Camp Jaha when Leta approaches them.

Leta: Hey

Amelie: Hey, Dad this is Leta. Aurelia's daughter and the commander's wife.

Kane: Hello

Leta gives him a nod and then looks toward Amelie and moves forward. Amelie gives her father a look and joins Leta.

Leta: How do you feel returning home?

Amelie: Weird. Dad just told me that Clarke was not there when he left. I just hope she is okay.

Leta: And will you come back to Polis after all this?

Amelie doesn't answer for a while. She seemed conflicted.

Leta: I know those are your people but we are your family Amelie. Mira loves you and hope you come back. So does Lara and so do I. I will love you no matter what decision you make and I am happy to have a sister my age.

Leta leaves to join Lexa's side, Amelie rode forward conflicted about the decision she has to make when she reaches Camp Jaha.

MOUNT WEATHER

Keenan Mykulak awakens to find herself outside Mount Weather; however, she is not burning from the radiation. She is being monitored on a camera by Dr. Lorelei Tsing and Cage Wallace. At first, she appears to be doing well, but after four minutes and ten seconds have passed, her skin starts blistering and she begs to be let back inside

Tsing: Four minutes and ten seconds. We're making progress.

Cage: She's in pain; I'm bringing her in.

Tsing stops him for bringing her in,

Tsing: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Do you trust her not to talk?

Cage knows that she might say it to her father which would mean trouble so he stops himself

Tsing: Might as well get a full reading.

Cage doesn't seem happy about what had just happened. He looked at Tsing.

Cage: The blood of the 47 could be our permanent solution, and that's what you said.

Tsing: Science takes time, Cage. [She pauses.] There are dead ends and blind alleys on the path to every breakthrough.

Cage [Points at screen]: You call that a blind alley? She's one of us.

Tsing: No. Of course not! I call that sacrifice. For the greater good.

Keenan keeps on screaming to open the door but she eventually ends up dying.

CAMP JAHA

Abby and Jaha are discussing their options of what to do about the Commander's ultimatum.

Abby: There has to be another way.

Jaha: There's not. The Commander's message was clear: leave or die. We have sixteen hours.
