Chapter Two
Clarke stood still taking her in. There before her eyes was the woman who betrayed her. The woman the left her to die on that god forsaken mountain, and yet Clarke didn't hate her. Looking at Lexa was like looking at home. She knew she would have done the same thing to save her people. Try as she might she couldn't fault Lexa with thinking with her head and not her heart.
"Lex-" she started to say only to be cut off by Indra barging into the tent and grabbing for her.
Immediately Lexa was at her side. "Calm down Indra, she means no harm."
"How can you be sure?" Indra question back.
"Because if she wanted me dead, I would be dead. Now leave us." With that said Lexa turned back around while Indra sulked back outside.
Clarke continued to stare in silence for a while before Lexa spoke again. "Is there a reason you are here Klarke kom Skaikru?"
Clarke just looked at her. Instead of speaking she decided to show Lexa exactly why she was here. Closing the distance between them, Clarke looked into the deep green eyes and said "You know exactly why I'm here Leska kom Trikru." And before Lexa could respond Clarke grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her into a kiss so intense you could practically feel the love seeping into the room.
When the kiss was over Clarke pulled back and said, "There is much to be discussed, but I am ready. When you kissed me before, I lied and said I wasn't. But the truth is I have loved you since the day I saw you on your throne when we needed an alliance."
Lexa drew in a shaky breath. She couldn't believe it. She left Clarke and her heart on the mountain that night never expecting to see either again. Yet here she was with a second chance to prove to Clarke that she will never betray her again. This time there will be no mistakes she vowed as she repeated over and over in her head 'hodnes ste nou kwelnes, hodnes ste strength.'
