Chapter 1

"Just let me in there! I need to speak with Clarke!" a voice cried out.

Raven.

Clarke bristled at the girl's shouts, interspersed with gut-wrenching sobs. So desperate. So devastated. And it was all because of her. She was the cause of all of this. If she had never fallen for Finn to begin with, if she had just ignored that spark between them, it would have died down and simmered out amongst the ashes. They never would have kissed and would have remained simply friends. He wouldn't be dead now.

Finn's actions at the Grounder camp went beyond just friendly feelings; everyone knew it. His love for Clarke, and belief that she had been killed were what fueled his rage when he murdered all of those people. Those Grounders that died at his hands might as well have been killed by Clarke herself.

It was not her that had to pay the consequences though.

She could still see the look in his eyes when she told him that she loved him for the very last time - that he had given up hope. So when Clarke leaned in to hug him goodbye she knew what she had to do.

As she rose from her chair now, she wrapped her hand around her right wrist where the blade had been. As she walked to the flapping walls of the makeshift tent she remembered the cool feel of its handle as she slipped it from its hiding place. She remembered raising it to Finn's chest as she gave him one last kiss. Finally, she remembered the sick feeling in the pit of her stomach as the warm blood had spilled out over her hand.

Clarke knew that when she looked back up Finn and those piercing eyes would be gone.

"No," her mother said sternly, shaking her head as Clarke approached the flap that led outside. Raven was still begging to be let in, but the sobs had stopped. Her voice had grown eerily calm and she was trying to reason with the guards positioned outside the tent that if they let her in she promised not to kill Clarke. The girl that had murdered her boyfriend.

Clarke barely listened, still wholly consumed in the memory of the night before, when she pushed past her mother and dove out of the tent.

"I need to speak with her..." Raven argued, trying to push past two armed guards positioned right at the entrance to the tent. Clarke bumped into one as she exited, and Raven paused as her eyes locked onto Clarke's. Similar to Finn's, the girl's eyes conveyed such emotion. Sadness. Betrayal. Mistrust. More than anything though, there was a frantic look of confusion, as if she was still trying to wrap her head around the fact that Finn was gone.

Raven took a step towards Clarke, but before either girl could say anything further Abby Griffin had rushed out of the tent, close on her daughter's heel.

Clarke's mother looked between both girls with a furrowed brow before turning to the guards. With a quick nod quickly grabbed Raven's arms from either side, and began to lead her away much to her protest.

"Wait!" Clarke yelled out, finally speaking. The guards paused for only a moment, but with a single glare from her mother they continued as if Clarke had never spoken. When they were a few yards away they loosened their grip on Raven and the girl shook them off with a frustrated sob before disappearing into a tent across camp.

When Raven had vanished from sight Clarke wheeled on her mother. "What was that about?" she demanded in frustration.

Abby Griffin pursed her lips in dismay. "Clarke, please just go back inside. We can't have you exposed like this." Her mother's eyes glanced past Clarke with a worried fervor as she pushed her back into the tent.

Thanks for reading! This is my first FanFic and I was inspired to write it after watching the last episode of The 100: "Spacewalker." The events in that episode are going to completely change the dynamics of the group and I'm really interested to see how that plays out when the show resumes next year!

Until then though, I thought it would be fun to share what I could envision happening. Let me know what you think so far!

I'm going to focus mainly on the after effects of Finn's death, and I may try to incorporate a little bit of what happens in the trailer for 2x09. There will eventually be some pairings that I know will make a lot of people happy, but for now I just want to take it slow and let nature run its course.
