"Clarke of the Sky People."
Five words. Five words that hurt like daggers to the blonde, standing in front of the Commander with clenched fists, knuckles white from the strength and willpower she was putting on not running towards the other and slapping her. She hated Lexa, and at the same time she didn't. She understood how the girl couldn't choose her over her people, but the feeling of betrayal was still there. It always was, lingering, hovering over her. It was her worst nightmare, and at the same time it made her realize how much Lexa cared for their own. No matter how hard she tried, Clarke found herself unable to hate the girl.
"Commander Lexa."
Two words. Clarke wouldn't notice, but the grounder swallowed and breathed out softly through her nostrils. Shoulders relaxing, the commander kept her eyes fixed on Clarke's. So many things seemed to be unspoken in that moment, no matter how many grounders were hidden around her, pointing at the Sky girl with their weapons.
"I am not armed."
"I know that."
"Then why are all of them around us?"
"They're my people, Clarke. I don't leave my people behind."
"We all know that."
The last words were bitterly spoken, and everyone could see that. Lexa looked away, thinking her next words. There was no way the girl would ever forgive her for what she had done, and the Commander couldn't lower herself to beg for forgiveness. The grounder's eyes finally met Clarke's again. Say I didn't matter to you, Lexa. I dare you. I dare you to say I was not important to you. And yet, you betrayed me, hurting me where you knew it would hurt most. My friends… You left them there, forgotten. Threatened. I dare you to say you didn't care.
"War is war, Clarke Griffin." the girl said, head high. My people go first, above everything else. We are not allies anymore, and their lives are what matter the most. They always have, and they always will. Is there something else you want to tell me?"
I hate you. I love you. I don't know anymore.
"No."
Sorry this is so short! I have never written for this ship, and I need to seriously rewatch the second season in English!
