sorry for being late, I was busy yesterday and totally forgot. her you go
Eva was starting to get annoyed. Its been a week since the "trap" and the gang has just been moping around. They haven't even been on any scouting missions. She couldn't understand what their problem was. Ya, okay so they shared a connection with the Commanders crew, but she already warned them that it wouldn't work. They agreed with her, said they understood, yet here we are. Winter is coming in a few months and it would be nice to get some extra jobs in before the first snow fall.
Eva let out a sigh as see looked over the village. They have always been a team, a family, and yet these strangers were so easily invading her friends hearts, changing them. Eva stood up from where she sat, determined to find her friends and bring them to their senses. Determined to protect her family from these outsiders. It didn't take long for Eva to round up her friends and send all of them to Lexa's tent for a talk.
They all sat in there usual spots waiting for Eva to talk, but instead of talking she just stared at them all. Losing patience Lexa snapped out a "Well" causing Eva to slightly flinch. She wasn't use to being on the receiving end of Lexa's anger. Eva has always shared a special bond with Lexa. Always able to clam her when she's angry and cheer her up when she's sad. Eva always hoped they could be more then friends, but understood that Lexa never saw her that way. It was hard to accept but as long as she could always remain but Lexa's side, she was okay with just being friends. Yet her she stood, on the outside of Lexa's world, all because of the stupid Commander, and it made Eva's insides burn.
Eva composed herself and stood up straighter.
"This" she said while waving her hands towards her friends. "Needs to stop."
When no one said anything she continued.
"I get that you are upset, but just sitting around isn't helping. We have a job to do. People to care for."
Eva took a breath lower her voice as she did so "We are thieves. Stealing is how we survive."
Lincoln raises his head and looks toward Eva "I know, but don't we deserve...more."
Eva just raises her brow "More, what?"
"More then just surviving."
Eva turned to Lexa not sure how to respond. Seeing the sadness in Lexa's eyes killed her.
"There are lot of things we deserve, but we don't have that luxury, which is why we do what we do."
Lexa just nods in response.
"I warned you no good could come from this. That it wasn't possible for our two worlds to co exist together, yet one night with these people and your willing to risk everything for them. Why?"
Lincoln spoke up first.
"Its hard to put into words. As for Octavia, well shes just so special. So fierce and strong, yet I want nothing more then to protect her. I know she doesn't need it, but I want to give it to her. I want to have her back when she strong and to hold her when she weak. I just want to stand by her always."
Anya hums in agreement.
"Its the same with Raven. You know me, never one to show emotions. But with her its as if I cant help but tease her, be near her, touch her. There's just this feeling that she deserves all the love in the world. As if once upon a time I missed my chance to be by her side, to take away her pain. And now."
Anya pauses as she takes a breath
"And now cant help but want to be the one that makes her smile."
Eva's thoughts were running a mile a minute. How could they love these strangers so much already. Eva looked to Lexa, studying her, thinking back to the day they first met. Well maybe she could understand where the others were coming from.
"Your right"
Eva blinked a few times, not realize it was Lexa talking. "Wha?"
Lexa let out a sigh "Your right Eva. We cant just sit around and do nothing. We have a job to do, and people to look after, but we cant just ignore these feelings."
Lexa looked up to the roof of the tent, as if she could see through it and into the vast sky above them.
"Its as if we were always meant meet."
"And your willing to risk everything on these feelings?"
"Yes" Lexa answered, not a hint of hesitation in her voice.
Lexa stood up a walked out of the tent, but not before Eva grabbed her arm. Worry laced her voice as she spoke.
"Where are you going?"
Lexa turned to face Eva, her features softening as she wrapped her hand around Eva's.
"To see if my heart is worth fighting for."
With that Lexa let go of Eva and headed out into the night.
Eva stood there speechless, motionless. Fear coursing through her at the thought of losing Lexa. It didn't take long for Anya and Lincoln to make there leave as well. One look and Eva knew. She knew they were off to follow their hearts as well. She watched as they left the tent, left the village, left her.
Tears started to well up in her eyes. She wanted to make them whole again, but instead she once again became alone. She wondered if this was karma, her punishment for one leaving her own people.
Slowly her feet took her to the edge of the village. As she stare out at the vast land before her, she wondered if it would be the same. She wondered if she left would some one miss her, would anyone look for her. Or would she become forgotten, just as she did the first time she left her home.
As Eva headed towards the forest she took one look back at the village. She hesitated, thinking maybe they would realize she was right, maybe they would come back. Her shoulder slumped as she shook her head, knowing that even if they did come back, their hearts would always be somewhere else. She knew the family she found would slowly drift apart. How could it not when these outsiders became more important then their family.
