Maybe Clarke hadn't had the best of ideas when she decided to turn herself over to Lexa. But what was she supposed to do? Lexa would have come after her anyway, eventually. As soon as the Grounder learned Finn was alive. More people could have been hurt that way, and Clarke didn't want that. She wanted this to end with her. It had to end with her. They needed the peace agreement with the Grounders, if they had any hope of getting the rest of their people out of Mount Weather. Clarke was the only one who could bring Reapers back, so that was a point in her favor. But maybe her mother could figure it out too.
Finn was alive here, and he needed a chance to live and to be happy. His fate didn't have to be the same here. He could be with Raven. They would all take care of each other. They'd just have to accept what Clarke had done. It was the only way she saw to resolve this. And so after saying goodbye, she'd headed out to the woods to meet her fate. She had told them not to try and rescue her, but she still suspected they'd try. She hadn't told them where she was, but they could figure it out. There didn't need to be any more bloodshed after her. So she hoped Lexa would finish her off quickly. Then there would be nothing left to save.
But Lexa didn't kill her, she knew that Clarke was the only one who could bring back the reapers. So Lexa couldn't kill her, but she couldn't let her go either. Clarke understood, she couldn't afford to look weak. But what did it matter? Her people weren't even here. Their ways, they didn't mean anything to most of the people here.
Clarke was startled when she heard Bellamy's booming voice. She knew he had to be so angry. Angry enough to kill maybe. And she didn't want that. But she hadn't been able to let them know she was okay, either.
"Don't go out there." She warned Lexa. Lexa didn't deserve to die any more than she did. Finn had killed 18 of her people, and she was only trying to get whatever she could from it.. Blood for blood. That was the Grounder way. Only. Clarke couldn't let Lexa kill Finn either.
