clarke and finn went off to camp and when finn brought abby back, kodie was slightly relieved. abby should know how to save him.

       "he's stopped breathing again." octavia says. "abby, help him." abby started to pump his chest like clarke had done and after about two minutes she stopped and all was still. "he can't be dead." octavia cried. "lincoln, please." kodie's eyes started to water and she stayed off to the side.

       "i'm sorry." abby sighs. "he's gone."

       "no," octavia shakes her head. "it's not possible. you're wrong." she pushed abby out of the way and started pumping his chest.

       "octavia," bellamy kneels down next to his sister and places a hand on her back.

       when the hatch opened and clarke came up kodie choked back sobs. she counted the people that came up the ladder after her and gulped when she counted seven. seven grounders armed with weapons. she could definitely tell who the commander was, considering she stood tall and had black face makeup covering her eyes, making her look almost raccoon like. kodie slowly reached for her knife and eyed bellamy as he slowly reached down for his gun.

       the commander gave a darker skinned ground a nod. "kill them all." the darker skinned girl said and as weapons were being drawn kodie quickly held out her knife. bellamy had stood and aimed the gun at another grounder while abby grabbed the baton and turned it on, letting the electric flow through it.

       "please," clarke says as she stood behind bellamy and her mom. "you don't have to do this."

       "you lied." the commander spoke. "and you're out of time."

       kodie eyed the baton as it continued to radiate electricity. "abby," she spoke quietly and the grounder in front of her took a step closer, so the tip of his blade was almost touching her throat. "the baton." abby looks at the baton in her hand before quickly turning and pressing it to lincoln's chest, causing the electric flow to go through him. when she pulls it away kodie nods, "hit him again."

       when he begins gasping for air the grounder in front of her lowered his knife and she placed her own in her belt loop before kneeling down next to octavia. lincoln glanced over at the two and kodie wasn't hurt when he had only spoken octavia's name.

       the commander put her sword back in its holder and clarke gave her a nod. when the commander looked at kodie the brunette may have felt like she was going to throw up.

       "how did you know that would work?"

       kodie licked her lips before looking over at abby. "i-i didn't." the commander simply gave her a nod before heading down the ladder.

       "good job, kodie." abby gives her a smile once kodie rises to her feet.

       "i need a drink." she huffs and as they laugh lightly kodie places her hands on her hips. "i'm serious."

       "let's get back to camp and i'll get you one." bellamy smirks as he pats her back.

× × ×

       "hold your fire! she's back!" kodie heard bellamy shout. she was sitting with finn at one of the outside tables while bellamy was on guard. as the gate opens and clarke walks in finn rushed after her, so kodie did the same.

       "you can't be out here." clarke mumbles to finn as she grabs his arm and starts dragging him further into camp. abby rushes over and hugs clarke before pulling away.

       "what did she say?" abby asks as everyone began to surround her, clarke, kodie, finn and bellamy. raven quickly rushed over and was soon in the circle. "is there a chance for a truce?"

       clarke hesitated before nodding. "yes."

       "what's wrong?" finn asks.

       kodie clenched her jaw. "jus drein just daun."

       "what?" abby asks.

       "blood must have blood." kodie translates. "that's their rule." she glances at finn. "they want finn."

       clarke nods, "if we want a truce, we have to give them finn."

       "what the hell are you talking about?" raven asks.

       "that's their offer." clarke sighs.

       "that's not an offer." raven scoffs.

       "it's a punishment." finn states. "for what happened at the village."

       "that's insane." bellamy says from behind kodie and clarke.

       "if we refuse.." abby trails off.

       "they attack." kodie answers.

       "i say we give him up!" someone shouts.

       "get rid of him." another said.

       "yeah, go on." a third chimed in.

       "easy, people." major byrne said.

       "give him to the grounders." another person said, stepping forward.

       raven turned and pushed him back. "back off."

       "raven!" bellamy quickly grabbed her waist and pulled her back.

       "raven. raven." clarke grabs the girl's arms. "raven, listen to me. nothing is going to happen to him. i promise, okay?"

       "i'm not dying for him." someone said.

       "spacewalker burned three months of oxygen from the ark. he should be floated a long time ago. throw him out." kodie had no idea what the man was talking about, but now she knew how finn got arrested.

       "back off!" raven shouted again, shoving the guy back.

       "reyes!" major byrne stepped in and raven turned, bunching the guard in the face. two guards grabbed raven's arms and pulled her back, taking her to the prison ward.

       "clarke," kodie got the blonde's attention.

       "what?" she turns to her.

       "you can't make a promise like that to raven." she shook her head. "finn's going to die. there's no other choice."

       "there is." clarke shakes her head before walking off with bellamy.

       the brunette ran her fingers through her in frustration and looked at the two grounders that remained outside the fence. she knew they were going to stay there until finn was delivered to them.

       she headed off to the hospital and caught the end of abby's sentence as she talked to lincoln. "—a way to make peace?"

       "did she leave riders behind?" lincoln asks weakly. he was still tired and felt drained of life.

       "two just outside the gate." abby answers.

       "they're waiting for finn." kodie says as she walks over.

       lincoln nods in agreement. "you don't have much time to decide."

       "she can't expect us to just hand over one of our people. would she do that?" octavia asks.

       "she wouldn't let her people die to protect a murderer." lincoln retorts. "if you don't do this, she will kill everyone in this camp."

       "there has to be something else that we can offer." abby says.

       "finn took eighteen lives." lincoln states. "the commander's offering to take just one. take the deal."

       "how can you say that?" clarke asks in disbelief. "finn was the first person to come to you to offer peace. he's your friend."

       "he massacred my village." lincoln responds. "some of the dead were my friends too."

       "but that wasn't finn." clarke spoke desperately. "you know that's not who he is."

       lincoln sighs. "it is now." he gulps. "we've all got a monster inside of us, clarke. we're all responsible for what it does when we let it out."

       "what will they do to him?" abby asks.

       lincoln takes a deep breath and looks at kodie. "i told her. she can explain." he rested his head on his pillow and as the three pairs of eyes look at her, kodie's widen.

       "fire." she answers as she rubs at her arm. "he killed the innocent. it starts with fire."

       "starts?" clarke asks.

       kodie purses her lips and looks at lincoln. "they'll take his hands. his tongue. his eyes. and anyone who grieves will have a turn with a knife. sunrise, the commander will handle it with her sword, but lincoln said he's never known anyone to survive until the sword."

       lincoln nods, "he killed eighteen. he will suffer the pain of eighteen deaths. then we can have peace."

       abby quickly left the room and kodie followed. "where are you going?"

       "to raven." she answers. "you can come."
