If you feel triggered by Lexa's death, please do not read this chapter. This prologue is just the final scene of 3x07, Chapter 2 is where she wakes up before meeting Lexa for the first time, for a second time!
"In peace, may you leave the shore. In love, may you find the next. Safe passage on your travels. Until our final journey on the ground. May we meet again."
Clarke looked at the dying girl in front of her, and ignored the crushing feeling in her chest as she pushed her lips to Lexa's for the last time. She felt Lexa kiss back, but as Clarke pulled away she saw the last light in Lexa's eyes drift away.
She was really gone.
She had never felt so much pain before, and large sobs came flowing from her eyes. Her blood stained hands, shakily but gently pushed Lexa's eyelids down, closing her eyes. Clarke was being pulled away from Lexa's body by Titus.
She tried to fight it but he was telling her, "You must let me complete the ritual. It is what the commander would've wanted."
Murphy tried to pull Clarke away, but she shrugged him off and moved to the foot of the bed.
Titus began to flip Lexa's body and she was confused, and mostly mad that he was touching her, "What are you doing?"
He didn't answer, but she watched as he grabbed a scalpel and made a cut into her neck. Black blood began to pour out, but something else was coming out as well. Clarke watched as he pulled something, a small circular object, out of her neck.
She barely managed to get out, "What is that?"
Murphy looked shocked, realising, "It's an AI."
"Wrong, it's the spirit of the commander."
Titus carefully placed the flame into the case before moving towards Lexa's body again.
"Yu gonplei ste oden, Leksa kom Triku. Gonplei kom heda kigon feva. May her spirit choose wisely"
Titus picked up Lexa's body, and Clarke watched as he walked out of the room. He made one final announcement, "Heda stedaun. Teik Sadgeda stot au."
And with that the doors began to close behind him. It was the last she would ever see of her.
The doors slammed shut, and Murphy ran to them and shook them, realising they were locked. He sank to the ground, frustrated, and let out a groan.
Clarke was left standing in her room, staring of the black bloodstains on the fur. She couldn't move, she couldn't speak. 'How could this have happened?'
Clarke felt the grief heavy in her chest, absolutely crushing her body threatening to consume her. The huge sobs stuck in her chest, but unable to come out. Her heart rate was scattered and she couldn't think properly. Her head was throbbing and everywhere ached. Before she knew it she passed out, the sheer exhaustion of grief taking over her body, and everything went black.
Okay so this chapter was totally just setting up the next chapter, so I hope you'll stick with it :p Also I lowkey said I would post this 4 months ago, but hey better late than never :)
