FREE AT LAST.
Lexa's POV:
She made the right decision to save her people. She knows it, her people knows it even the Skaikru came to accept it after a while. Yet she still bleeds for the blonde leader who has been missing since the mountain fell. Lexa knows that even if the blonde can forgive her one day that she has messed up big time. Clarke will never look at her the same way she did before she walked away leaving Clarke defenseless.
It's been 3 weeks since Clarke defeated the mountain and walked away from her people. 3 weeks since anyone has seen Clarke. Lexa went to the Skaikru's camp when they got word that the mountain has fallen to see if she and the Triku could be of any assistance. Upon arrival they were sent away but the one who is called Bellamy stepped in and stopped her and the Triku from leaving. He said that although he is still mad that he forgives her because he would have done the same.
3 weeks of Lexa sending scouts out to search for the blonde who is a hero in the eyes of all the warriors on the ground. Day in and day out Lexa handles the business of her people but at night she will pace her tent and wonder how long till one of her scouts come back with words that she never want to hear. That Clark was found dead. As each day passes Lexa begins to fear the worst. Her people are trained to find people in these woods. If none of her scouts can find Clarke then something bad must have happened.
Today was no exception. Lexa is tired after a long day of handling business amongst the twelve clans. As she steps into her tent to unwind after the day she is interrupted by Indra.
"Heda?"
"Sha Indra."
"One of the scouts are back and says he needs to speak to you."
"Let him enter." Lexa says while sitting down on her throne. She knew one of these days the scouts will come back with news. But after 3 weeks of waiting for this day she really doesn't know what to expect.
"Heda."
"Sha?" she asks in patience knowing that she can't show her impatience or irritation towards the scout.
"Heda, the Skaikru's leader was nowhere to be found so I ventured towards the mountain. That's where I picked up her trail. Heda, she has been living in a cave not far from the mountain's entrance. I watched her from a far for two days before coming back to make sure she doesn't leave. During the day she goes into the mountain and stays inside until night fall when she returns to the cave and sleep. If one can call it sleep."
"Is she still there?" Lexa asks the scout. As he spoke she started to wonder what the blonde is doing that keeps her inside the mountain the whole day. Is she planning to attack her people? Or is she trying to figure out how the mountain worked so that she and the Skaikru can use it?
"Sha Heda. But Heda she is tormented during the night. She cries and screams the whole night till sunrise and when she comes out of the cave it looks like she is more tired than she was when went in to sleep. It looks like as the days passes she is getting more and more tired." The scout says boldly knowing that what he just said can get him killed but the skaikru girl has saved his life once. He has much respect for the girls who defeated the mountain's demons without an army.
"Enough. Leave and go to your family. Tomorrow we ride for the mountain so that I can see for myself." Lexa says as the scout walks out.
She knew Clarke will have nightmares but what the scout said made her realize that she may have done too much damage to the blonde. Since they met Lexa has only caused Clarke pain. Finn was the first wound caused by her and then Ton DC when she saved Clarke but forced Clarke to not tell anyone. She really thought that it would stop there and that they will fight together until the end of their days, but then came the mountain and the choice she had to make. She never had a choice her people always come first. She stayed true to the plan until Emmerson came along. If only Emmerson never saw her. If only one of her warrior could kill him before he opened his mouth then she would not have had to leave Clarke alone.
Lexa turns in for the night knowing that tomorrow she will be able to see the blonde who has turned her world upside down. Tomorrow she will find out what Clarke is up to inside the mountain. Tomorrow she will convince Clarke to return to her people so that she can start to heal. Tomorrow holds a promise for a chance to make it up to the blonde. But for tonight she will rest because judging from the past Lexa will need all the strength in the world to deal with Clarke.
Before falling asleep Lexa whispers to the empty room "Tomorrow we will meet again Clarke"
A/N: tell me how it is. First time ever writing any sort of story. I'm a big fan of the 100 and seeing how most people thinks that Lexa is bad guy for leaving Clarke I wanted to take a different approach. Cause in reality Lexa isn't the bad guy. There was no choice for her. She did the right thing. But tell me and it's up to you guys. Should I continue or should I rather not write ;)
