Lexa is actually speaking trigedasleng but I thought it was easier to only write it in English.


Chapter One

JackPOV

"Abby please, let me take her…it's not safe for her." I tried reasoning with my wife but she stubbornly shook her head, eyes filled with tears and continued clutching our baby girl to her chest.

"No" she wailed. "She's only a baby, my daughter and the only child I will ever have." She straightened up and glared at me "I won't let you send her to the ground and before you start I don't care that earth is survivable because it doesn't matter, she's a baby Earth is no place for her."

I let out a frustrated noise "I will be with her" Abby turned her head away from me refusing to look me in the eye. "Do you think I want this Abby because I don't" I let the earnest in my voice show. "But you know she is special, all you have to do is look into her eyes for proof." They were like my fathers.

Abby stifled a sob as she looked down into our daughters memorizing blue eyes, unlike anything she'd ever seen before.

I reached out my arm and rested it on my wife's shoulder lowering my voice "she's like my father Abby…she's Fae. She doesn't belong here on the Arc, she belongs on earth with nature. Even if we kept her here someone would eventually sense something different about her and she would be floated, you know this to be true."

Turning back to me I saw the sadness and acceptance in my wife's eyes, "I will come with you" she said with such determination.

Lexa POV 8yr's old

"Onya is going to be so proud of me" I grinned, talking to myself as I came to a large run down structure in the middle of the woods. The people in my village say a great Pauna lives here and I can't wait to see their faces when I show them it's head.

Pulling my bow further up my shoulder I jumped over a large log and crawled through a small tunnel that led out into a small clearing. There the Pauna lay in the middle wrapping its arm around what was probably its cub or whatever a Pauna's baby is called.

Stalking my way around the Pauna I thought about all the other kids my age and how they don't hunt. They are a bunch of babies, and because I hunt they think I'm weird but really they are weird.

Onya thinks I'm going to be the next commander, so I don't care if they think I'm weird. I felt my bottom lip wobble and instantly became angry with myself.

Shoving those thoughts away I tucked my dark hair filled with braids behind my ears and raised my bow. Just when I was about to release my arrow I caught sight of the lightest blonde hair I've ever seen fanned out across the Pauna's paw.

Tilting my head sideways I noticed the blonde hair move and a little girls face turned towards me, she had to be only Four winters and was curled up asleep next to the Pauna.

Horrified at the sight I hid behind a large bush and peered over, trying to think of a way to save the little girl without her being eaten alive. Why it hadn't already confused me.

After 5min of planning the best course of action I went to stand up but stopped as I watched the little girl stand up and stretch her tiny little arms. She wore an oversized white shirt, possibly a mans. It fell to her boney knees and was now covered in dirt and what I thought was grass stains.

Still half asleep she stumbling her way towards a berry bush opposite me.

There was a slight wind in the air as I watched long curly blonde hair blow into her small face. She tucked it behind her ears and began rubbing her slightly chubby cheeks, pink from the cold.

The Pauna lifted its head and made what most people thought was a scary growl, but I am eight winters and nothing scares me.

The little girl however turned her head towards the Pauna and shook her head at it, like she was communicating with it. It let out another growl but simply lowered it's head back down.

Caught up in the sight in front of me I accidently kicked a rock and watched the girls head swing towards me. Her eyes widened at me like she'd never seen another person before.

I was probably just as wide eyed as her, I'd never seen anything like her either. Especially her eyes they were rimmed a dark blue while the rest of her iris's was the colour of the sky on a clear day. Lexa also never met any other of her people with such light hair, it was long, wavy and it fell to the girls tiny waist.

She couldn't understand what a little girl of only Four winters was doing out in the woods on her own, why would her parents leave her.

It was then Lexa noticed the little girl was still staring at her, looking down at her skin then back at Lexa's. It truly made her wonder how long the girl had been out here on her own and if she was purposely staying with the Pauna.

Unsure how to approach her I decided to signal her to come closer to me, she frowned bitting her bottom lip before slowly making her way over to me.

Once she was infront of me I whispered to her "what is your name?" their was a long silence "can you speak?" I added, but the little girl tilted her head to the side obviously confused and gave me an intense look, like she was looking into my soul.

Suddenly I could hear a little girls voice whisper in my mind.

"Clarke" the soft little voice in my mind sounded excited and I noticed a small smile appear on the girls face.

"Klark?" I whispered. The tiny blonde girl pointed at herself and nodded, her blue eyes wide and full of excitement. It made me blink a few times not quite believing what was happening.

Klark tilted her head and pointed at me and I guessed she was asking for my name. "Leksa" I answered tilting up my chin proudly.

It was getting dark and my mother will not be pleased if I did not get home soon. Frowning I looked back at the Pauna and grinned, it had fallen back asleep and I realised this was my time to grab the girl and make a run for it.

I was about to grab her hand and drag her away from the beast then back to my village when I notice her tiny white feet were covered in fresh cuts and smeared in blood.

Bitting my lip I threw my bow to the ground and turned my back to her, kneeling down, pointing at my back. If possible her smile widened and her whole body vibrated with excitement before climbing onto my back.

Once Klark made herself comfortable I stood up and bolted for the tunnel hearing the Pauna roar in the distance.

Tondc:

Walking out from the treeline I noticed the firepits were light and people were preparing their dinner.

Klark had fallen asleep on the way home combing my hair with her little fingers, her head was now cushioned into my neck, as her wavy blonde hair fell over my shoulder. I thought about waking her earlier but she was so light it didn't really bother me.

It was then I saw my mother running towards me, her long dark hair flowing down her back and a worried look on her face.

"Leksa" she snapped "where have you been? Your father and I…" she stopped when she finally noticed Klark's little body slumped on my back. "Whom do we have here?" she asked perplexed. Reaching out and touching Klark's blonde hair, awed at the colour.

For some reason I found myself become very protective and narrowed my eyes pushing my mothers hand away from Klark, stepping out of her reach.

I frowned at the smirk my mother gave me, before stomping towards our home.


THEIR WILL BE A FEW CHAPTERS AT THEM THIS AGE, HOWEVER THIS WON'T ALWAYS BE A CHILDHOOD STORY I PLAN ON DOING A FEW TIME GAPS.
