Chapter 4: Forest Green Eyes

Hey guys, sorry for the wait. School has been crazy. But anyway, this chapter is about Clarke and Nia present day. I wanted to have Lexa in here too but it wouldn't seem right going from the present to the past. So, I've decided to have the next chapter about Lexa. I hope you guys like it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Clarke walked toward Nia's room. She thought about her day, how she went down to the market and got some art supplies. How Nia had walked into her room while she was painting and watched her for a few moments before startling her. She turned around so fast, she tripped on over her own feet and went down right on top of Nia. In the process she smeared paint all over Nia. She smiled just thinking about it.

Ever since she first woke up with Nia next to her she's felt safe. Nia made her feel safe by just being with her. She has been sweet and gentle with her since day one and has never given her a reason to doubt her. Always honest with her. I can't believe it has been two weeks that I've been here. I hope she says yes when I ask her. She was so caught up in her thoughts, she didn't realize that she had made it to her destination. She looked up at the door and wondered where Nia's guards were. She knocked on the door and waited.

"Roan, I told you I didn't want to be distributed," Nia said as she walked to the door and opened it. "Oh, um... Clarke. I'm sorry, I thought you were Roan. Please come in," she said as she opened the door wide and stepped to the side to let Clarke in. Clarke looked at her with a questioning look. Nia nodded her head yes and Clarke walked in to the room. She swore the more time she spent with Nia the more she reminded her of Le- her. She turned around to face Nia. "What can I do for you Klark?"

She flinched, but recovered within a split second. Damn, the way she says my name is just like her. "I..." She cleared her throat to get rid of the crack in her voice and started again. "I just wanted to see if we could sleep together again." She paused for a second and swore she saw a ghost of a smile on Nia's lips. "I mean in your room," it was a statement but her voice betrayed her and made it sound like a question. There was silence for a moment before Nia spoke.

"Is that what you want, Klark?" Nia asked as she searched Clarke's face for something.

When Clarke found her voice again she replied. "Yeah. I mean, we always sleep in my room. I just thought that maybe you would like a change and sleep in your bed for the first time in a few weeks." She looked down, not really sure what she should do or say. Since the first time Clarke had a night terror and Nia found out about them, Nia has spent every night with her. The moment she started to have one, Nia was there to chase them away. It felt good to have her there. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't realize that Nia walked over to her. She gasped when she felt Nia's finger under her chin. Her skin tingling under Nia's touch. This feels different then when she touched me. When she touched me there was sparks and my skin felt like it was on fire. This feels safe. She didn't resist when Nia gently lifted her face to look her in the eyes. Her eyes went wide at the resemblance between Nia and her. They were still so young. Nia couldn't be more then 9 or 10 years older then her. They both had their stoic demeanor but let their eyes speak volumes. Her thoughts were cut off by Nia's face coming closer to hers. Her breath hitched when she felt Nia breathe next to her ear and down her neck, sending shivers down her body. Nia smiled at Clarke's reaction to her.

"If that is what you wish, Klark. But…" Nia breathed heavily again, sending shivers down her body as she moved to look Clarke in the eyes. She saw Clarke's eyes go dark as her pupils dilated. "I have to bathe first. You can make yourself comfortable while I'm gone. I will be back shortly," she said as she moved her hand away from Clarke's face and turned to leave.

As she watched Nia walk away she struggled with her desires. She wanted to have Nia close to her and touch her again. She wanted to feel that tingling sensation again, but she wasn't ready for something more. At the same time her desire to have Nia touch her was too much. "Wait." Nia stopped walking and turned around raising her eyebrows in question. Clarke walked over to her and hugged her. She tensed up for a few moments before she hesitantly rapped her arms around Clarke. "Thank you," she whispered into Nia's ear. Clarke broke the embrace and looked at Nia. Nia nodded her head before she turned and walked out the door, closing it behind her.

As Nia closed the door behind her, she lead against it and breathed trying to get her heart rate under control and groaned at the heat between her legs. I hope she didn't see the reaction that she had on me. She got herself under control and walked toward the room for bathing. When she got into the room she quickly stripped and got into the tub of warm water. She let herself relax. She hear a knock on the door.

"Sorry to disturb you Ai Kwin but Allie is here. And she wishes to speak with you," a voice called from behind he door.

She sighed before she replied, "Let her in." She sank deeper into the bath as Allie entered the room.

"I wanted to check in with you on the progress you are making," said Allie in a flat tone.

"I'm working on getting Clarke to our side," she replied.

"That was not part of the plan. You are waisting time that we don't have. You should be focusing on the task at hand," said Allie annoyed.

"I am focusing on what I need to do," Nia said hotly. She paused and took a calming breath. "By getting Clarke on our side, we can get her to kill Heda for us," she said in a much calmer voice.

"Do what you must. But just make sure she dies. The plan will fail if she lives." With that Allie turned and left, leaving Nia to think about what could happen if she fails.

She looked into those forest green eyes, usually so guarded but now held so much emotion. She stood rooted to her spot, too mesmerized by the girl in front of her to realize what she was doing. She felt a hand gently grab the back of her neck, while those full lips captured her's. Her body reacted before her mind knew what she was doing and kissed back. Her whole body felt like it was on fire and her heart rate sped up as she grabbed the girl's arm. Her brain finally caught up with her body. She wanted this and more so much but she wasn't ready. It was too soon, Finn had recently died and she hadn't had proper time to grieve. When she pulled away to look into those forest green eyes, everything changed. The once emotionally filled forest green eyes turned stone cold and stoic. The once clean, soft face now covered in blood.

"I do care Klark. But I made this choice with my head and not my heart…" Her heart dropped into her stomach, she felt like she was going to be sick. She couldn't process what had just happened, didn't understand anything other than the person that she had fallen in love with had just betrayed her. "May we meet again," she said as she turned to leave…

She sat up straight, gasping for air as sweat dripped down her neck. She closed her eyes as she tried to control her breathing. But shot them open as those familiar forest green eyes stared back her. She quickly and quietly snuck out the bed and room. She went into her room and got the sword that Nia brought her. She left her room and headed toward the training room.

She had been practicing her sword fighting for about an hour, trying to perfect all the moves that she had learned over the past two weeks. She tried her hardest to keep her mind blank and focus on the movements of the sword. She was so focused on her task that she didn't realize she wasn't alone anymore.

"Klark," she reacted before she could think and turned around, sword raised up and went to strike whoever snuck up on her. But before she got the chance she was knock to the floor with someone straddling her. Her mind started to clear a little as she realized who was on top of her. Her eyes widen comically, heat pooled between her thighs, her heart rate sped up and her mouth went dry. She cleared her throat to try to rid herself of the dryness.

"Nia?," she asked breathless. "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I woke up with you gone. I looked for you when the guards told me you went to get your sword. I figured you would come here," she said nonchalantly. "I won't push you, but Klark would you care to tell me why would decided to train in the middle of the night?" Nia asked, concerned laced her voice.

She shook her head no. "I don't want to talk about it." Damn, I need her to get off of me. But, hey, at least she got my mind off of everything. Something that I was struggling with when I was training. "Can we get up," she asked breathless. Idiot, could you be anymore obvious? Nia smirked.

"Something bothering you Klark?" She said as she lowered her face until they were a centimeter away from each other. Clarke's breath hitched, which made Nia smirk again. She stared into Clarke's eyes and watched as desire took over. She pulled back and helped Clarke up. "Let us get back to bed. I will train with you tomorrow. How does that sound?" She asked as she opened the door for Clarke.

She shook her head to get the desire out and answered "Yeah, I'd like a lot." If today was anything to go by, I'm screwed. I obviously am not over Her, yet I feel something towards Nia. I just hope its lust and not anything else. That is something I don't need right now. She closed her eyes to clear her thoughts but were met with forest green staring back at her. Fuck.
