As the Commander and the Sky Princess neared camp Jaha, Lexa feels the blonde's hand tighten around her own. She looks at her counterpart before squeezing her hand in return.

"Everything is going to be alright." Lexa convinces Clarke. The blonde looks at Lexa with unsure eyes, but nods in agreement anyway.

Lexa knew how worried Clarke was and it kills her inside when she can only look over her from afar.

"Now would be a good time to hide, Commander." Bellamy's voice booms over the radio. Once again, Clarke's hand tightens at the idea of being away from Lexa. The brunette feels this and takes a deep breath before grabbing the radio from Clarke.

"Is it really necessary for me to hide, Bellamy?" Clarke needs me.

The blonde's co-leader stays silent that Lexa is almost surprised when she hears his voice crackle once again.

"I guess not."


Bellamy's heart breaks at the sight of Clarke's hands clasped tightly around Lexa's. Sometimes he tells himself that the Commander might not even have romantic feelings for his princess, but damn it, he just knew. Why else would she even come back after betraying them at the mountain? She got what she wanted and was free to do whatever she desired. What he couldn't fathom though, was why Clarke had chosen to open up to the young grounder in the first place.

His sister, who was still wary of the Commander raises an eyebrow at the hands of the two leaders, before nudging him to continue walking. Octavia walks faster and throws her arms around the blonde leader who gets startled at the contact, and tenses up at the disappearance of Lexa's hand around her own. She does not return the hug nor does she talk to the young delinquent. When Octavia lets go, Bellamy walks towards Clarke and wraps her in his arms, before softly kissing her hair.

"We missed you, Princess." He whispers.

Lexa watches Bellamy hold Clarke tightly. Did he feel for Clarke the same way that she did? The Commander averts her eyes, and instead meets Octavia's. She nods at the young warrior whose eyes hardened the moment it met hers.

"Octavia."

"Heda." Octavia looks away, turning to Bellamy, who has now put his arm around Clarke, impatiently.

"Let's go, Bell. We have to get back."

"We'll take it from here, Commander." Bellamy says to her. Clarke looks up to Lexa in panic. The blonde doesn't say a word, but her eyes were almost pleading. I can't leave her just yet.

Just as Bellamy nudges Clarke to turn, Lexa grabs her hand. "You'll know when I'm near. I promise." She quickly lets go of Clarke's hand and walks away, knowing well that she is looking at her back. She can feel Clarke's eyes on her, a feeling so powerful and unfading as the touch of her hand on hers.

Bellamy looks over at the back of Clarke's head looking over as Lexa's walks away but not entirely leaving them. Octavia grunts behind them and they both turn to her.

"What?"She looks at them quizzically as they both wonder aloud why she grunted in protest. "I'm not exactly welcome in 'Grounder Club' anymore and they even banished Lincoln so go figure." She walks back to camp first as Bellamy and Clarke still stay behind.


Lincoln watches as Octavia walks briskly back into the camp. The former trigedakru warrior wonders why the girl's brother was no where to be found but he does not linger on the thought as he sees Bellamy leading a very familiar blonde, not very far behind Octavia.

Curiously, he walks to meet his lover at the gates of the camp with a raised eyebrow.

"The Commander found her in the woods, apparently." Octavia explains, already knowing what he was going to ask.

He nods, opting not to say anything. Lincoln wasn't exactly pleased with the commander himself, but he owed her for letting him live. Indra might have let him go, but if the commander had wanted him dead, she could have easily sent someone after him. Lincoln turns his attention to Bellamy who was watching Clarke's every step with so much caution.

"Since when has Bellamy been in love with Clarke?" He asks the leader's sister. Octavia makes a face at him before turning around to observe her brother and the blonde leader. She turns back to him, slightly smiling, before shaking her head at him.

"You're usually the one who would say this but stay out of it. Clarke is nowhere near ready to be in any kind of relationship right now." Octavia says, her small smile growing wider.

"If she was though, it would be with Bellamy." Octavia slaps his arm and laughs at his serious statement.

"Do you seriously think that my brother and Clarke belong together? They both have fun arguing with each other, I doubt becoming a couple would do them any good."

Lincoln shrugs as he sees Bellamy and Clarke approaching the gates.


"Clarke! Clarke's back!"

Clarke tenses up as she hears the voice of one of the delinquents resonate around the camp. All of a sudden, the seemingly peaceful compound was filled with commotion. She feels Bellamy's hand on her shoulder, urging her to continue walking.

As she and Bellamy walked closer, everything started to become one big blur. The blonde barely registered the excited and relieved faces of her friends when she feels a set of arms enclose her in a tight hug, all she wanted to do was run away.

"Oh Clarke, honey! I thought you were never coming back! Where have you been?" Clarke tries to shrug away her mother's arms she tried to walk further into the camp. Her eyes stayed glued to the ground beneath her, as she let herself be guided to wherever they were going.

When Abby finally let's go, Bellamy stops, prompting Clarke to stop as well. The blonde slightly looks up and lets out the breath she didn't know she was holding. They were right in front of her tent. Bellamy was holding the flap open for her, smiling slightly.

"Just call me if you need anything."

The blonde simply nods, before walking towards her tent.

"Bell?" She asks just as Bellamy turns to walk away.

"Can you... I think I need Lexa."


All I have to say is that the struggle is real. I have never been hit with writer's block as bad as this one (well I have, but never for this story) Anyway, here's a short chapter that we have come up with. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for all the reviews! -M
