A/N: Hello guys, I roughly know where I will take this story. So I think 2-3 chapters will be enough to tell the rest of it. I appreciate every view and review :). Special thanks goes to Matax and saisairee. You guys are the best and every time I read your reviews it puts a smile on my face. So thank you for that :). The glowing will be explained at the end of the chapter.
Matax: A scene in this chapter is only for you ;)
"Took you long enough." Octavia says. She stands at the end of a road, which leads to Arkadia.
Clarke and the others bring their horses to a stop. The blonde dismounts along with JJ. "Hello to you too Octavia." Clarke says sarcastically.
The guards share a look, still on their horses. "You will wait here. And you" Clarke addresses the other guard. "You will ride back to Polis to tell Lexa that we arrived safely at Arkadia." The man nods and rides in the direction they came from.
Octavia eyes JJ "Who´s that?"
"This is JJ he is.." Shit. What can Clarke say? He looks like a Sky Person, so the excuse that he is a grounder is out of option. "He is my son from the future." She tells the truth. Why the hell not? Nobody will remember him anyway.
"Your what?" Octavia laughs "What did Lexa do to you? Brainwashing?"
JJ steps in front of Octavia and shows her his tattoo. "A prophecy says that Travelers come to the past to help." He explains.
"He is good. Ok Clarke, stop kidding around and pay the boy already." She scoffs.
At that JJ starts to hum a melody. It´s a lullaby Octavia hums when Artemis can´t sleep. The same Octavia´s mother hummed to her when she was a little girl. He heard Octavia hummed it to her last year. JJ is a smart boy, remembering everything.
Octavia´s eyes widen and she looks to Clarke "What´s going on Clarke? Nobody knows what lullaby my mother sung to Bell and me."
"I told you. He´s my son." Clarke says serious. "Come on, we can´t waste any more time." She goes down the road, leaving a stunned Octavia.
As the three of them arrive at the left side of Arkadia, Octavia opens a hatch and gestures for Clarke and JJ to go in. At the other end waiting Kane and Abby.
"Clarke" "Mum." Mother and daughter hug. The older Griffin takes a step back and looks Clarke over. Looking for any injuries.
"Mum I´m ok. I need to talk to Bellamy." Clarke says and looks at her son. "JJ wait for me here." She is about to leave the room when she hears JJ speak.
"He will handcuff you to a table." The boy warns his mother. "Then he wants to bring you to Pike." He says quickly. "Please Mum, take me with you." He begs. The boy doesn´t want that his mother gets hurt. Even if it is not physically.
Abby and Kane are looking confused. Why did the boy addresses Clarke with "Mum"?
"Clarke?" Clarke turns to Abby. With a sigh the blonde says "Long story short. He´s my future son and a grounder prophecy brought him in our time."
Abby´s mouth hangs open. Today´s the day on which she has to explain everyone that this boy is her child. She gets tired of it already. But she likes to call him her son. At least that´s a plus.
"Well, didn´t we all learn that everything´s possible on the ground?" Kane says and lays a soothing hand on Abby´s shoulder.
Abby looks at the boy and sees his blue eyes. They´re the same Clarke has. The woman nods. What else can she do? She accepts this.
"I will wait in room 311. Make sure to bring Bellamy." Clarke says to Octavia. With that Clarke and JJ leave the room.
Octavia and Bellamy are going down a corridor.
"Look at yourself. It is time to stop playing grounder before you get yourself hurt." Bellamy argues.
The two Blakes coming to a stop in front of a door.
"I´m not playing anything. This is who I am." The girl says at which her brother only shakes his head. "You´re my brother. I shouldn´t have to tell you that." With that she opens the door.
Bellamy stand in front of Clarke now. He looks not so happy so see her. What a happy reunion, don´t you think?
"Now I´m done." Octavia spats and leaves the room. Leaving the two alone.
"Go easy on Octavia."
"What are you doing here Clarke?"
"We need to talk."
"No. You decided that. The mighty Wanheda, who put the grounders over her own people. Who turned her back on us when we came to rescue you. Now you wanna talk."
JJ has to stop himself to come out of his hiding place. He has to remain behind this damn shelf and can´t protect his mother.
Clarke takes a few steps in front of Bellamy. "I came to tell you that the Ice Nation pays the prize. Right now in this very moment. Justice has been served for the attack of Mount Weather. I came here to tell you. It´s over." Right at this very moment, Lexa fights Roan and will kill Nia.
"There it is again." Bellamy has his arms crossed in front his chest. "Why do you get to decide if it´s over."
"We did our part."
"We?"
"Lexa and I." Clarke excepted it finally. She loves her. She will have a family with her. "The Ice Queen is dead. The problem is solved and then you and Pike want to ruin everything?"
Bellamy takes a step in front of Clarke. "Why are you here Clarke."
"If Arkadia don´t see that Pike is not the right person to be Chancellor. Lexa and the 12. Clans will wipe us out."
"Let her try." He says as if the 12. Clans are only 100 people who have no weapons. As if it were easy to kill them all.
"Please tell me that going to war is not what you want."
"We were at war since we landed, at least Pike understands that." Pike brainwashed him really good.
Clarke can´t believe her ears. "Pike is the Problem. This isn´t who you are." She tries to let Bellamy see that he is deep down a good person.
"You´re wrong, this is who I´ve always been." Yup brainwashed for sure.
Now Clarke has to sit down, she lost him for good. But Bellamy isn´t finished yet.
"It was good that you left. You are not in charge anymore and that's a good thing. Because people die when you´re in charge. You willing to let a bomb drop on my sister. Then you made a deal with Lexa, who left us at Mount Weather to die and forced us to kill EVERYONE WHO HELPED US!" He shouts the last part.
It´s so hard for JJ to stay put. But he promised his Mum to remain hidden. Suddenly he feels a tingling sensation on his arm. He looks down on it. One of the numbers of the tattoo glows a neon blue. "What´s happening?"
Clarke hangs her head and tears form in her eyes. She did everything she could. But that wasn´t enough. Nothing was ever good enough. "I´m sorry." She cracks.
Bellamy kneels in front of her now. He puts his hand over hers in a gesture of comfort. They look each other in the eyes and then CLING! He fucking handcuffs her to the table.
"Shit." JJ curses and steps out of his hiding place.
"JJ I told you to-" Clarke can´t finish her sentence because JJ tackles Bellamy to the ground and punches him in the face. ´Yeah that´s for making my Mum feel bad!´ He is a pacifist, but seeing his mother in tears makes him forget it for a second.
"JJ!" But the boy ignores Clarke completely. JJ punches him a second time, but Bellamy can roll them over and is about to choke him.
Clarke panic "BELLAMY DON´T! PLEASE!"
Just as the boy thinks he took his last breath Bellamy stands up. He takes Clarke with her out of the room, despite her protests. "Get off me!" The blonde wants to make sure JJ is ok. ´You will pay for that Blake.´ She thinks.
JJ has his hands on his throat, rubbing the sore spot. If Bellamy had choked him a second longer he would be dead. He coughs as he stands up "Fuck."
"Are you fucking insane!?" Clarke is furious. It´s one thing that he handcuffed her. But he attacked JJ. He attacked her son. She suddenly doesn´t want to rescue him anymore. She doesn´t even care if he gets executed and she will gladly be the one who do it.
Bellamy says nothing and only drags her along, but comes to a stop when Octavia blocks their way. "Bellamy, let her go. Now."
"No. I will get her to Pike. He will decide what to do with her." He answers and gets past Octavia. She stands behind him, draws her sword and smashes its butt onto his head. Bellamy falls to the ground unconscious.
"We have to go back to room 311 to get JJ." Clarke wants to get to her son as fast as possible. She takes the keys out of Bellamy´s pocket and unlocks the handcuffs.
"Come on, we have to go." Octavia didn´t want to hurt her brother, but she had no choice.
XXxxOOooOOxxXX
Anya is in the stable and petting a brown mare. She has to wait for her Nomon. The peace army arrived and Lexa has to do a quick talk over with Indra and Titus. To discuss what to do next.
The blonde hears someone entering the stable. A girl, around her age is pulling the reins of a white horse.
The redhead smiles at her and Anya smiles back. She looks pretty, Anya has to admit that. The girl leads her horse into one of the boxes. The pretty redhead seems to search the stable for something.
"Do you maybe know where the brush is?" She asks the blonde.
"Over there." Anya points out.
"Mochof." The redhead smiles again.
´What a beautiful smile she has.´ The girl goes to where the brush is and picks it up from the floor. As she bends down Anya gets a good view of her ass. ´Damn gurl, you have a nice ass. Shit. Get it together Griffin!´ She shakes her head. "Stop drooling over some pretty girl." She mutters to herself. Suddenly she is startled out of her observation by a hand over her shoulder.
Behind her stands Lexa with a knowing look and a raised eyebrow. ´Talk about awkward. Your Nomon caught you eye fucking a girl.´ Anya groans internally. She can punch herself right now.
"We can head out now." She says and then turns to look at the horse Anya petted. "Ah I see, you picked the brown mare. Good choice. She´s fast." Lexa changes the topic, to make it less awkward for her daughter. ´She is only a teenager. You can´t blame her.´ She thinks.
At least she and Clarke don't have to do the talk with her about boys. Hell, she knew nothing about boys. Alright. Clarke could do that, but it´s about principle.
As the two ride to the gate of Polis, one of the guards she sent with Clarke and JJ gallops in their direction.
"Heda! Clarke kom Skykru sent me to tell you that the two of them arrived safely at the Skykru camp." He delivered the massage out of breath. He rode without a break to Polis, needing only half the time to get here than normally.
Lexa nods at him "Get some rest."
"Sha Heda. Mochof." He nods and dismounts, taking the reins and leading his horse to the nearest stable.
The two continue to ride to the gate. At the gate are waiting 4 more guards, ready to accompany and protect them on their way to Arkadia.
The group rides 5 hours as they hear a gunshot. One of the 4 guards falls off his horse. Dead. This startled the horses. Chaos erupts within the group. Anya´s horse jolts and tries to get her off and run as fast as possible from the danger. It´s instinct. Anya falls flat on the ground with a thud and groans.
Pang! Another gunshot and another dead guard. Lexa barks commands at the two remaining guards. They draw their weapons and ride further into the forest, into the direction where the shots came.
Anya stands up, but this was a fatal mistake. Pang!
"ANYA!" Lexa shouts.
She falls to the ground again, clutching her shoulder.
"Ahh." She squeezes her eyes shut. A warrior doesn´t show pain. But here she lays, whining like a little baby.
Lexa jumps into action, she rides to where Anya is, extends her hand and pulls her daughter up. Seating the blonde in front of her. Lexa urges her horse to move as fast as possible and lays her left arm around the girl´s middle, so she doesn´t fall off.
Lexa rides at least 5 minutes in the other direction to make sure nobody follows them. The brunette stops the horse, dismounts and pulls her daughter with her. She lays Anya against a fallen tree and looks her over. Blood comes out of her shoulder.
"It´s ok, it was a clean shot. The bullet went through." She tries to reassure her Nomon.
Lexa closes her eyes. She thought she lost her. The brunette goes to her horse and takes a bandage out of one of the saddlebags.
"Take off your jacket, Anya." She says softly. Anya does as she told and winces a bit at the pain.
Her Nomon wraps the bandage a few times around her shoulder and Anya can put her jacket back on.
The brunette cups her cheek "I thought I´d lost you." She whispers and hugs her daughter. Anya is comforted by her scent.
It´s like when she was 7 and broke her leg. She was up in a tree and really proud of herself, but she lost her balance and felt at least 20 feet to the ground. It was a miracle that she only broke her leg. Lexa ran to her to soothe her crying daughter. Just like when she was 7, Lexa´s scent soothes her.
Anya relaxes and forgets the pain for a moment. She has a special bond with her Nomon. ´It does have its advantages if you have two mothers, it means double the care.´ She smiles.
Gunshots can be heard in the distance and Anya flinches.
"Shhh. It´s okay. You´re safe." Lexa whispers, still hugging her daughter and stroking her hair.
Suddenly they hear rustling. Someone seems to run in their direction, not caring to be silent. Lexa lets go of her daughter, stands up and draws her sword. Ready to kill everyone who dares to hurt Anya.
The person stumbles out of the bush and trips. Landing face first to the ground in front of Lexa. The brunette is quick to point her sword to the throat of them. But just as quick to draw it back and sheathes it.
The person rolls onto his back. It´s JJ. He coughs out of breath. The boy pants like crazy. He lays an arm over his eyes.
"JJ what happened?" Anya asks her brother.
She doesn´t get an answer. JJ only raises his arm into her direction to indicate her that she has to wait till he catches his breathe again.
"Where is Clarke?" Lexa looks around. She is worried. She knew she shouldn´t let her go to Arkadia. What if something happened to her?
"She is" He pants and waves in arm in the direction he came from. "She was behind me." He lets his arm drop to the ground. Clarke was right behind him. They fled from Arkadia, five armed men hot on their heels. Pikes men.
JJ gets into a sitting position. "Five armed men followed us and so we had to run. She was right behind me. I swear." The boy says full of sorrow.
Lexa leans forward to inspect the angry red mark on his throat. You can see handprints on his neck. She trails her fingers along it.
"Who did this?" She growls. ´Who dares to touch him like that?´ Lexa swears to herself that if she catches this person, she will kill him slowly and painful. And she WILL catch him!
The three of them hear someone come. It´s Clarke. Lexa stands up and meets her halfway. Clarke doesn´t waste time and wraps her arms around her.
Lexa leans back to inspect her of any injury, as she can´t find one she sighs audible "You´re ok…I should had never let you go to Arkadia!" She sets her jaw and looks away.
"Lexa. Look at me." The blonde puts her fingers on her chin and coax her to look at her. She is met with sad, regretful green eyes. "It´s not your fault. I needed to go and I did my part." She says.
They have a plan now on how to eliminate Pike. Ones it gets dark, Octavia and some others will kidnap Pike and sneak him out of camp. Through the secrete hatch. Pike will get back with them to Polis. He will get executed and that´s when Arkadia will have to vote for a new Chancellor. Kane will be the only candidate, Miller and Octavia will take care of this.
"We have to wait till Octavia radios in." Clarke says at which Lexa nods.
As Clarke sees her daughter, clutching her shoulder, she rushes to her. She shoves the leather jacket away from her shoulder to reveal the bandage.
"It was a clean shot. No need to worry." The younger blonde smiles at her. ´Like I said, two mothers means double the care´
Clarke puts a hand on her cheek and stares into her green eyes. "I don´t have any antibiotics or painkillers with me." She says sadly.
"It´s nothing. It doesn´t even hurt. Ahhrrg." Liar. Clarke fixes her with a stern look.
"I know a few herbs to help with the pain." Lexa says and turns to JJ. "Help me search for them."
JJ stands up and goes after his Nomon to find the herbs. The boy falls into her step "Which herb? The purple flower or the black moss?" He asks. JJ knows a lot about herbs.
"In this part of the forest exists only the purple flower." She smiles. She is really happy despite the circumstances.
The two search for the flower. As the boy scans the forest floor, he sees something purple. He bends down to inspect it. "There it is." He mutters with a smile on his lips. "I think I found one."
Lexa goes to where the boy kneels and puts a hand on his head. "Great. Pick it up son." She says proudly.
The brunette can´t wait till the two are born. She can´t wait to hold them in her arms, to see their first steps and hear their first words.
As the two get back to where Clarke and Anya are, Lexa didn´t think she could love this woman even more. The older blonde sits beside a fast asleep Anya, who has her head on her shoulder.
The twins are 16, but they grew up with so much affection. Lexa and Clarke made sure of this.
Clarke turns in the direction where Lexa and JJ are coming. She smiles a tired smile at them. "Anya." She wakes her daughter softly.
Clarke and Lexa prepare the herb, so Anya could take it. After she took the pain soothing herb, she falls asleep again. It was after all a rough day, for all of them.
"We should get some rest too." Lexa suggests. It´s getting dark. Clarke nods at that and lays beside Anya again. Taking her previous position.
JJ shuffels to the fallen tree and sits down beside his mother. Lexa goes back to her horse to retrieve a blanket and picks up an armful of sticks along the way. She drops the sticks in front of her family and cover them with the blanket. Lexa quickly makes a fire, so nobody would freeze.
"You´re doing the first watch? Wake me to do the second?" JJ yawns.
Lexa nods.
"Night Nomon." He says as he drifts off into a peaceful slumber.
"Good night."
Wow so much love in this chapter :D I hope you liked it. My final decision is to make Anya gay and JJ straight. But if someone wants a gay JJ, write it in the comments. I only want to make you happy :) Highkey mama bear Lexa and lowkey mama bear Clarke yall! Can´t get enough of them. Bellamy is apparently a piece of shit.
Glowing: The glowing is a simple thing. Something mayor happens for example the fight of Lexa and Roan. Will she kill him or the Ice Queen? If she kills the Ice Queen - glow. If she kills Roan instead - glow. Another example is Bellamy. Can Clarke convince him? Yes - glow. No - glow. But the twins have to witness it. This are the rules. And don´t worry, you will find out what the tattoo is good for ;)
See ya next chapter
