"What can I do?" my hands are red, they prevent Kane from losing more blood

"Help us, please. Please" Jaha begged and Lexa took out cloth

"Thank you" I smiled at the girl

We begin to bandage Kane's wound

"I know what you do" Jaha said

"What?" I didn't focus on him

"I know you know who the murderer  is" my face turned serious and I felt Lexa staring at me "Was it John? He did it?" I stay quieto "Don't protect him Y/N, he's a criminal"

"We are all criminals" I pursed my lips "I am a criminal"

"I didn't mean-"

"That doesn't mean that we all are bad, some yes, others no. And I assure you that John didn't do it"

"Who did it? Is that why you separated from him? Who else was with you?"

"You think I'll tell you?" I laughed sarcastically "After telling me that you won't try to save my friends?"

"It is risky"

"Pherhaps" cleared my throat "If they are willing to chat, I would tell their commander who did it"

"You will?" Kane began to recover

"Yes" I admitted "But that won't happen, I'll die today" I wiped the blood in my cloth "And I couldn't save them" there's still blood on my hands "I wonder if I'll see the moon one last time"

"You won't die, Y/N"

"Everything returns" I answered to Jaha "I deserve it, for what I did" I glance at Lexa, I'm not able to keep her gaze

"You tried to keep your friends safe, you should be proud, is what a good-"

"Proud?" I cut Jaha "I took lives, I helped-"

"They were going to kill you" Jaha saw Lexa

"We were afraid" I placed my eyes on Lexa's "I'm sorry"

"I told you, we didn't come all this way to die" Jaha got up and took the knife

In one swift movement she placed the knife to Lexa's throat

"Thelonious, no" Kane yelled

"I choose to live"

"Enough!" I got up "I'm sick of so much death"

"Y/N, stay away!" Jaha pressed the knife more

"Let her go!" I reached to take Lexa's hand "This is not the way"

"They are primitive! It's not our people, Y/N!"

"Don't hurt her" I begged "They're still people"

The other grounders entered and I widened my eyes in fear, without realizing I squeezed Lexa's hand

"Take off these chains" Jaha ordered

"Damn it, let her go!" I tried one last time

"Thelonious, please. She's just an innocent girl"

The girl spoke in her language and let go of my hand that I didn't realize I'm still holding, in quick movements she placed Jaha on the ground and her countenance changed. I turned to see Kane and the others tilted their heads towards Lexa.

"It's you" I whispered and our eyes met when she went with her people

They put some type of armor on her

"You're the commander?" Kane asked

"Clever" I smiled without thinking

"I have learned mucho about you" she came closer "It's clear your intentions are honorable, your desire for peace is true"
