I didn't care much about the Warriors all lined up glaring at me holding their swords out as I made my way towards the gigantic red tent. Inside my girlfriend, whom just found out she was the Queen of this back woods tribe.

We had came here from an invitation from her long loss aunt. Who knew her aunt had a big family secret she was going to unravel not even ten minutes of introducing herself to her niece and I. My girlfriend a Leader or 'chosen Heda' at twenty four years old. I couldn't see it. I loved her dearly but I had to remind her about everything. She didn't even know what country this was like myself. Her reaction to the news went how I suspected. She ran and hid.

Took me almost two hours to get her back out of the little hunt to face her aunt again.

My girlfriend looked in my direction her eyes were heavy and darker. Had me questioning what I had missed while waiting over in the other humongous tent. I was kicked out because I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

I gave them plenty of time to figure this out. I was starving and had to go to the bathroom. No one would talk to me to tell me where one was neither. Customer service over here sucked.

I walked up to my girlfriend ignoring the glare her aunt was now shooting me with her eyes. Man, if looks could kill. Her green eyes reminded me of my girlfriend's. I now know where Lexa inherited them from.

"Everything alright Clarke?"

I shook my head." I'm hungry and have to pee."

Lexa gave me a little pout as she rubbed my arm." This isn't near to being done baby." My mouth flew open slightly hearing that news.

"Lexa you haven't ate all day. Why can't this wait until tomorrow?" Looking over at Anya who was still glaring at me. "She needs a break. She needs to take a breather. I understand this is important. But Lexa does need to eat."

Anya didn't say a word she just moved her dark orbs over to her niece. Silently she was studying her niece for some kind of answers. Her intent look at my girlfriend creeped me out. I have never felt like an outsider once around Lexa until this very moment.

I didn't like the foreign feeling one bit. It left a bitter taste in my mouth as I decided our own fate. I took her hand in mine and escorted her to the exit of the tent. I stopped just in front of the flap.

Turning around " Where do we find a restaurant around here?"

Anya's arms were crossed across her chest. Her stoic expression turned drastically as she took in my question.

"We don't have restaurants around here. You want to eat? You hunt foolish girl."

I couldn't believe my ears. I had to be hearing things. I turned to my girlfriend who didn't seem to impressed with the news either but she didn't seem as upset as I was.

"Excuse me!?" I was the one glaring now." I don't know how to hunt."

Anya bluntly Rolled her eyes in my direction not looking a bit surprised by that fact i couldn't hunt I noted.

I felt a hand wrap around mine. I looked down at my girlfriends protective hand over mine. I looked up at her pleading eyes. I knew she was trying to calm me down before I freaked out.

"For you Lexa I will have a few warriors go catch dinner."

I held my tongue. I knew when I first saw this woman we wouldn't get along. If she thinks my girlfriend will come and just abandon our whole lives back home for this uncivilized back woods place across the world in a country I've never heard of before this week she has another thing coming.

This place was insane.

"What!?" I yelled not caring who was around and heard. My girlfriend shot me a glare I knew all too well but it wasn't going to do her no good in this case. I was about to explode if I was told to shut up one more time. I didn't owe anyone here anything. I was here on what I thought was a vacation for my girlfriend and myself. Before I could tell her how crazy she was sounding Anya and two other men that were dressed more modern day army like the ones back home stepped into the tent interrupting our talk. Both men bowed at the sight of my girlfriend. Lexa's face didn't show anything I could draw off of. It was like my very emotional girlfriend had changed immediately. What the hell happened?

My shoulders fell realizing this was serious. Were we ever going back home? Then another foreign thought popped up in my mind and I had to hold back the tears that were threatening to surface. What if I was going home alone?

I was defeated and I knew it. Lexa was the love of my life. She was my better half. If she were staying So was I. I had heard some of the people here talk in an English accent but didn't know if everyone here spoke the language. No one seemed to understand me when I had tried to ask questions earlier.

I listened to the men swear their life service to their new 'Heda'. I felt like our life was flashing pass my eyes. I saw the first time I laid eyes on Lexa. A smile crossed my face. I had stopped listening a while ago to this. Whatever this was. I saw Lexa taking Natie's place at the bar. Leaving her to run it on her own. I saw my nursing career taking off. Going back to school to be a Doctor. I could see coming home to lay in her arms. Watching movies all day when we were both off while cuddling. Oh God what would happen to all these goals and dreams?

This was all too much for me. Without warning I walked out of the tent alone.

I didn't get too far thank God. I didn't know what I was going to do if Lexa didn't come for me.

"Clarke wait up!"

I turned to face Lexa. I knew my eyes were puffy and red. I knew I didn't look the best at the moment. I didn't care. I allowed my emotions to show she needed to see them.

Lexa read me like an open book. Wrapping her arms around me she tightly held me while hard sobs shook through my body. I held her just as tight.

"I'm sorry Clarke." She repeated over and over into my hair.

"I'm just as frightened as you. Listen to me Clarke. I finally found out whom my mother was. She was apart of these people. I know it sounds crazy but I feel like I'm supposed to be here. Please, baby help me figure this out."

I knew I should have told her how I felt right there and then. I should have told her how much of an outsider I felt from these people. But I held my tongue and let her have this moment.

One question was too much to hold to myself though.

"What am I here?"

Lexa pulled away a little but to look me directly in the face.

" You're my gorgeous girlfriend." Her hands found the side of my face as she kissed my lips with every bit of ounce of emotion in them transferring to me. I felt warmth hit my cheeks. Looking in those green eyes I loved so much I realized she was crying too. I wiped her eyes off with both my hands before finding her lips.

The days that followed only proved to me that I would have to have a lot of training to live out in the middle of nowhere. Anya describes lands with a palace and actual buildings instead of tents not too far away. Then she announced right after it was nearly a three day journey. I wanted to slap her. She promised we would travel there soon. I hardly doubt it since I haven't seen any evidence of these unknown lands even exist just her word which didn't mean much to me at the moment.

The bugs here were massive and cruel. Lexa was a natural born leader. She picked up on things astonishingly quickly. I didn't get much time alone with her. At night she would come in our tent completely drained from the days lessons. I knew my complaining and talking wouldn't help much so I would massage her shoulders in silence. I would kiss her gently. I would hold her. I just hope secretly she remembers the life we had before all of this and decides she wants to hold onto that life as well.

Everyone is devoted to her already. Every wish she has is granted without any questions asked or hesitation. On the other end of things I am the outsider still. They will listen to me but it's when she is present and only when she is present. The warrior who was demanded to train me to survive out in this wilderness is really harsh. He doesn't like me obviously one bit. He doesn't care what I do or do not know. I hadn't said a word since I had started training but today I took a bad gash to the side. We were arguing and I suspected it was his intentions to hurt me in some way. I got a good punch in before I took off.

I got to the edge of the wood where a beautiful waterfall lay. I checked the damage. I knew I needed stitches but I didn't even think they had a full functioning medical tent here. Taking under shirt off I pressed the shirt to the womb. Once back at the tent I cleaned the gash with the little medical supplies I had.

Lexa stepped into the tent quickly taking her armor off. She was training with the military now. This Commander role wasn't like a fairy tale around here I had come to realize. I looked up from my book.

"How you doing Clarke?"

I tilted my head at that question. Did she know?

"Racks said you left training early due to a harsh blow. Also he informed me you punched him right in the nose." I smiled hearing that last bit out loud. I was actually pretty proud of myself. I punched him without breaking my hand.

Well at least the last bit was true.

"I had Tay run us a bath with lavender. Come with me."

I knew standing up once more was going to hurt. But a bath did sound like heaven to me at the moment.

Lexa saw my pain as she quickly came to my side.

Her eyes narrowed at how I held my side.

"Love, lift your shirt." I knew she wasn't asking. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath I lifted my shirt just enough to expose the injury. My whole side felt like it was on fire from just that motion.

"Clarke!" Lexa gasped placing a hand over her mouth then the other one over my hand holding my shirt up.

I knew I had her attention now. Finding her dark worried eyes." This was no accident or harsh blow in a training session Lexa. Racks was telling me my place here in the middle of nowhere. I argued back and he struck me. I punched him then left."

The brunette was trying to process what she was being told. Someone had hurt her girlfriend purposefully. She put this man with her girlfriend to train her. To help her survive.

I could see who she was blaming although she was completely wrong.

I let my shirt fall back down before grabbing her hand in mine squeezing it I placed my free hand on her cheek.

"This is not your fault. He's never liked me from the beginning. You my dear are a huge deal around here. They love you. They don't accept me."

Lexa shook her head. " This is unacceptable. You're my Love. Who dare touches you, touches me as well. This won't stand. He will pay."

I stepped closer to her body. Straining muscles be damned.

I wrapped my arms around her neck. She was slightly taller than me and I knew this was going to hurt so much but I needed her to hold me.

"Clarke, you're going to hurt yourself."

I ignored her as I rested my head on her shoulder.

"Hold me." I sounded like a small child. I needed this.

Lexa didn't object as she wrapped her arms around my waist but avoided my womb area.

"I love you Clarke."

I nodded." I love you so much Lexa."

The bath did help soothe my screaming muscles.

Lexa washed me ignoring pleas from Tay and Kelton to help bathe us. I was very grateful because I wasn't comfortable with people watching me. Lexa was never big on attention either.

"Does that even bother you?"

Lexa looked up at me from washing her legs.

"What bother me?"

I pointed towards the tent's flap.

"People always watching. Back home if Meagan would come near the door when we were showering you would freak. These people seem to always want to be around and yet you haven't freaked out once."

Lexa shrugged." Meagan likes you. These strangers don't. Well not in that way." Lexa explained what she meant about 'doesn't like me!' If they were to show any interest they would see the wrath of me. Plus that's why they're out there and you and I are in here alone. Only I get to see that smoking body." She winked before returning to clean her legs.

After helping me out of the tub Lexa gently helped me get dressed before escorting me back to our tent. She helped me lay down before disappearing for a few moments.

I could hear hush voices. I knew Lexa's from the others but I couldn't tell who she was Talking to.

"Anya he could have killed her. That isn't a simple blow in a training session. He purposely hurt her. I want him punished."

Oh that's who she's talking to I thought rolling my eyes.

"It's her word against his Lexa. He also has a nasty bruise from her punching him."

I wanted to laugh out loud. This man was ten times my size.

"I believe her. She's my girlfriend. I will not have these people treating her so disrespectful."

My heart swell. Lexa was defending me from her own aunt.

"Your swear in day is coming up in a couple of days. Do you really want your first line of busy to be killing a man? A respected warrior?"

I wanted to get out of this bed and slap Anya for making this sound like Lexa had to choose between her people and I.

"He needs punished. He will not be allowed to walk away from this with no punishment. He hurt her." Lexa exclaimed angrily. Her aunt wasn't seeing the importance of this situation.

Anya sighed loudly.

"Do what you think is it necessary Lexa. Just remember if you want people to look at her as one of us you will have to claim her. In your world marry her. She will always look like an outsider until she is bonded into the community."

Lexa gasped a little.

Yes marriage had been on her mind long before She found out She was a Commander over twelve clans.

Would Clarke want this though? Would she want to remain in Ton DC with her? After all of this.

"Just think about it. The Healer will be in to help you dress her womb."

Lexa watched Anya turn and leave.

Walking back into the tent she had to stop and appreciate the scene in front of her. Her gorgeous girlfriend was sleeping. Her right arm was covering her face. Her blonde hair was laying everywhere around her head. Her other hand was laying across her stomach over the blanket.

She looked paler in a sense then usual. Frowning at that Lexa walked closer. Sitting down on the edge of the bed She just watched her sleep.

This wasn't anything new she loved watching her sleep back in their room back home. She felt the ping of guilt. They would never be back home again. Before She could continue that thought the Healer was in the room. The Man bowed before he walked further into the tent.

"Im Dayton, here to serve you Heda." The man announced as he rose.

"She just fell asleep." Lexa explained. She stood beside him giving him space as he sat his black medical bag down on the edge of the bed.

He opened it before he looked over at his commander. Lexa didn't know what he wanted at first until it hit her he was asking permission to touch her girlfriend.

Lexa nodded as She stepped around the bed to watch him.

"She cleaned it well." He commented.

"Very deep." Lexa frowned as She nodded to indicate She understood.

"She have medical training?"

"She's a nurse." She explained.

"That explains a lot." Lexa didn't know what he meant but kept her mouth shut. As she watched the blonde's face for any discomfort.

She hadn't showed any so far but Lexa knew once he started messing with the womb more she would wake.

After examining the injury Dayton signaled that he would have to have her help.

Lexa walked on the other side once more but this time went up by her girlfriends head. Clarke moved her arm which She caught before she could knock the medical stuff Dayton had laid out on the bed already off.

"Clarke wake up."

She turned her head to the other side ignoring Lexa's calls.

"Baby, the Healer is here. He needs you to wake up."

She turned her head opening her eyes." Huh?"

Her eyes widened more taking the sight of Lexa then she caught something in the corner of her eye and looked down towards the Man beside her. She was more alert now on what was going on.

"Lexa?"

Lexa rubbed the blonde's cheek with her finger."let him help you."

She looked nervous but once The brunette leaned over and kissed her gently before looking back in her eyes Lexa could see she was more relaxed.

Lexa stepped aside to allow the doctor to take her place.

Clarke's eyes watched her girlfriend the whole entire time.

"Clarke I will be closing and stitching the womb. You can hold onto the commander's hand if you'd wish."

Her eyes hadn't left green orbs. Lexa knew what she needed.

Walking around to the other side of the bed She climbed up taking a place by her head. Lexa placed her hand in both of hers.

"This will hurt. This is my warning. You know this pain though." Lexa watched as Clarke nervously nodded. She does understand what was about to happen. Her head turned to the brunette once more. Lexa gave her the best reassuring smile she possinly could place on her face before squeezing her hand.

She swallowed hard before turning to look at the Doctor or whom they call a ' healer' move Clarke until he had a good view of the angry womb. He knew exactly his plan. Lexa prayed he was as good as her aunt said he was.
