I awoke without any bearings.
Elyza was 11 when she had her first vision. Her and her parents had decided to go to New York for spring break, and being the badass child that she was, she stole some dudes Swiss Army knife, in her defense that guy was a total dickhead. She managed to keep it a secret from her parents, until she cut herself, one long slice down her index finger.
It was clear that she needed stitches so her parents took her to the hospital, and that's when she met Dr. Paige Abigail. The doctor stitched her up, 6 stitches ran down her finger. She didn't have a vision until that night though. There was a girl who looked exactly like her, she was in a room with the same doctor who had stitched Elyza's finger.

“But mommy, I don’t wanna go to bed, I wanna play with Wells!” Exclaimed Clarke, she knew it was well past her bedtime when she decided to stay up and play chess with Wells. But she couldn't help it, she was finally getting better than him.
“How about this? If you go to sleep now, you can play with Wells in the morning.” Abby tried to explain “But mommy-“ Abby cut off her daughter before she could finish her sentence. “No ‘buts’ honey, you should sleep now.” And with that Abby placed a kiss on her daughters forehead and left the room without another word.

Elyza awoke completely confused, so she decided to discuss the matter with her mother. She explained the dream and her mother told her that it was impossible, because she was her mother. From that day on Elyza decided to keep her dreams to herself. She would have a vision every night, at first it was just her – well a girl named Clarke – and Abby, Clarke’s mother. That was until she met more people in her real life. It was rare for her to meet someone and have them pop up in her dreams, but she realized they always came in her dreams as other people.
As she got older she came to the conclusion, that her dreams, were visions of the future. Elyza was always a superstitious child, so it was clear that she believed in reincarnation. She believes Clarke is a reincarnation of herself, and when she meets people in this life that she will know in her future life, she starts having visions of them in her dreams.
So far she's met Abby and Jake, Clarke’s parents, Finn, Raven, Lincoln, Octavia, and Bellamy. It turns out that Mary (Octavia) and Bobby (Bellamy) are siblings in this life as well. But after Elyza’s parents died in a horrific car crash, she never stuck around with any of them. She kept moving in hopes to find her soulmate. At this point she had no clue who her soul mate was, at first she thought it was Tomas (Finn) but that theory didn't last long, since she realized she was gayer than Richard Simmons riding a unicorn in rainbow coloured tights.
She knew her soulmate was out there, she refused to believe they didn't exist, after all Rick and Mary (Lincoln and Octavia) are together in this life along with the future life. Also how could it be possible that your soul could reincarnate but you couldn't have a soulmate, it took out all the fun.
She decide that her soulmate probably wasn't on the Ark with Clarke, and was probably on the ground. Since the zombie apocalypse started she started having more intense dreams. She knew Clarke lived in space, and she was a prisoner of the Ark and all that crap, but she grew attached to the people in the other life. So when the events in Clarkes life starting getting more serious it would also affect Elyza.
The other night she had a dream, Lincoln was telling her about a commander, said commanders name was 'Lexa' when Lincoln told Clarke about Lexa, Elyza abruptly awoke in a strangers home on the couch, with tears filling her eyes and her heart beating at a mile a minute. From that moment on she knew her soulmate - well Clarke's soulmate - was someone named Lexa, the commander of the 12 clans. Now she just had to find out who 'Lexa' was in this life.
With that Elyza knew sleep wouldn't take her anytime soon, so she got up and left without a second though. Machete in place on her leg strap and shotgun slung behind her back. She revved her bike not caring whether she attracted walkers at this time of the night, and took off
