A/N; first off,I'm having trouble with seeing the reviews (I cant read them from my email,just cant get reply's out. So...
to those of you who have asked if this is/will be a Clexa story...the answer is YES,this is very much a Clexa story. Later on :) They will very much be a family.
A Week Later
Clarke was sitting in one of the room sin Polis staring out the window when the doors opened and Lexa walked in alone. "I
dont want you here" Clarke said not bothering to even glance in Lexa's direction. Lexa walked closer,ignoring the fact that
Clarke didnt want her there.
"I've given you a week alone. Now we talk." Lexa smiled.
"I have nothing to say to you. That wont change" said Clarke
"I'm not the bad guy here Clarke. I just didnt want to see you dead." Lexa explained,now standing less than 3 feets from
where Clarke sat still looking out the window. Clarke laughed and finally looked Lexa in the eyes. "People have wanted me
dead for years,yet here I am. Alive."
"The Ice Queen knew where you were." explained Lexa,"which is why I needed you brought here."
"She knew?" Clarke said,concerned now for the safety of her daughter.
"I guess you got too comfortable in your routine and slipped up. You're safe here though"
"Sure I am" said Clarke
"Im not going to hurt you,Clarke"
"Then you'll let me go?" Clarke asked. Knowing the answer before Lexa even spoke.
"I cant do that Clarke. I didn go through all the trouble of saving you to just have you walk away" Lexa said in that tone,
that made even Clarke almost believe she was sincere.
"That would be my choice,would it not?" Clarke challenged
"I suppose it would be,but I'm not going to allow it." replied Lexa
"What are you going to allow?" Clarke asked.
"your freedom. Here,you are not a prisoner" Lexa explained. "You are my guest."
There was a soft knock on the door before it slowly opened. Titus walked in with Roan at his heels. The look on Roan's face
to her it was important,but Lexa was tempted to just ignore him,but she didnt. "What are you doing here Roan?" asked Lexa.
"I would like to speak with you in private,and before you say no...I think you will want to hear what I have to say" Roan explained
Lexa shook her head in annoyance but followed Roan out of the room and down the corridor to a place where they could talk
privately. "Speak" Lexa said getting straight to the point. She didnt have time for Roan's games,but in the event that what he
had to say was actually of importance,she'd regret not having this conversation. "I have something you might want" Roan began,but
Lexa was quick to cut him off. "You have nothing I want."
"Want about a Natblida?" Roan smiled,knowing he instantly have Lexa's full attention.
"Explain" Lexa said interested.
"The Queen is currently training a child she found in the woods. She's a young one,very young. Could go far under your command"
"And you will bring her to me." It wasnt even a question. Lexa wanted that child,especially if she was as young as Roan said. "For a
price." and there is was,Lexa knew it was too good to be true. Of course Roan wanted something in return,he would just betray his
mother and steal a child if he didnt get anything in return.
"I expected nothing less. What do you want Roan?" asked Lexa
"Complete immunity" Roan replied.
"Alright you bring me this child,and you have yourself a deal" Lexa agreed. "The child first"
"Tonight,I will bring you the child tonight"
"Then you will have your immunity" Lexa said before walking away from Roan. She hoped this child was everything he promised
she would be. The future of Polis depended on it.
IN ARKADIA
Bellamy paced back and forth mumbling something about being stressed out. He turned and saw Octavia watching him,she stood a
couple feet away,arms crossed. When she noticed that Bellamy saw her,she walked towards him and gave him a small smile. "Its
been a week,Octavia. Where is she?" Bellamy asked,aggitated.
"I dont know Bellamy," Octavia said grabbing Bellamy's hand. "Maybe its time to stop looking."
"Excuse me? Why the hell would I stop?" Bellamy said almost angry at the thought.
"What if Clarke wastn taken? What if that little girl is back with her mom right now?"
"Then I need to find out for sure,O" Bellamy replied,not giving in.
"You cant to this to yourself again,Bellamy." Octavia sighed, "You chased after Clarke for months,It's time to just move on."
"Finley is a child."
Octavia started pacing infront,annoyed that Bellamy wouldnt just stop. But she knew this was going to be a losing battle the
moment she brought it up. Bellamy would never agree to stop looking for Finley. He never fully gave up on Clarke. "I know,and I
would like to have her here as much as you would: Octavia agrred. "But she's gone,and in this world you need to accept that!"
"I cant just give up on them Octavia"
"Please Bel,think about it? It's whats best for you,and for Clarke and Finley"
THAT NIGHT - WITH LEXA
Lexa was sitting in her sleeping quarters watching the door,waiting for Roan to show up with the Natblida. She was about to give up
waiting,so she stood up,just as the door opened. Roan stepped in carrying a sleeping child in his arms. The little girl looked to be
no more than 5 or 6 years old,and was so innocent looking in her sleep. "I thought you were never going to show up" Lexa said in an even
tone.
"This little thing was a little harder to steal from my mother than I thought. But I'm here,and so is the child" Roan explained.
"How do I know she's a Natblida?" aked Lexa
"You have no faith in me at all,do you Commander?" Roan laughed, "you think I would just bring some random child in hopes you
wouldnt ask for proof? I know you better than that. Besides,why would the Queen have her if she wasnt?"
"I need proof" Lexa demanded.
"You want to wake a sleeping child,in the middle of the night,by making her bleed? Be My guest Commander" Roan said in a sarcastic tone
as he handed the sleeping child to Lexa before retreating to the door. Lexa looked at him with a stuned expression on her face. She looked
from the child back to Roan. "What do you want me to do with her?" Lexa asked
"I dont know,figure it out Commander" Roan laughed, "I will be back in the morning for you to grant me my immunity" Roan smiled as
he walked away closing the door behind him.
Lexa looked from the closed door,to the sleeping child in her arms. She has no idea what to do with a child,other than train them to
be a warrior. But this kid was so innocent,Lexa almost felt like she needed to keep her safe,rather than teach her to fight. Lexa's thoughts
were cut off by the sound of Clarke's scream coming from the room down the hall. Lexa ran towards Clarke's rooom,still holding the child in her
arms. She flung the door opened and walked over to the bed. "Clarke! Clarke wake up,its just a dream" Lexa said trying to get Clarke to wake up.
"Finley! FIN" Clarke yelled,still alseep.
"Clarke,wake up!" Lexa gently said,with just a hint of force in her voice.
Clarke flung upright in the bed staring Lexa straight in the eyes. Her gazed slowly lowered to Finley,who was still fast asleep in Lexa's arms.
"No! No no no,this is just a dream. This is a nightmare!" Clarke shook her head,refusing to believe any of this was real. That wasnt her daughter,
in Lexa's arms. No,this was a dream,and Finley was still out there somewhere. "Clarke,you're awake. The nightmare is over. It's done Clarke,
I promise" Lexa said
"Im not dreaming?" Clarke asked
"No" replied Lexa
Clarke reached out and gently touched Finley's face. "She's real" Clarke whispered still holding onto Finley,afraid to let go.
"Of course she's real. I have to go lay her down somewhere. I dont need a cranky child in the morning" Lexa said about to stand up to put Finley
down somewhere.
"you're not taking her anywhere!" Clarke said,in an almost yell but keeping her voice low so she didnt wake her daughter.
"Excuse me?" Lexa questioned
"That's my daughter!"
"No It's not." Lexa tried to explain, "Roan brought me this child from Ice Nation. The Ice Queen has had her for a week"
"Which is just as long as I have been here Lexa!" Clarke cried.
"You cant have a child,especially not this one Clarke"
"Can I please have her Lexa?" Clarke asked, "Sh's probably terrified. I just want to hold my little girl"
Lexa hesitated for a few seconds before handing Finley to Clarke. The moment she saw the two of them together,she knew
Clarke wasnt lying,that little girl was indeed Clarkes. Lexa just wasnt sure how.
"It's okay Finley." whispered Clarke. "Mommy's here and I wont ever leave you again. I promise."
