Chapter 12
Lexa's POV
"I did not want The Queen to kiss me. Just as you came in I was about to push her away." I said sitting next to her.
"Obviously you enjoyed it. You had a boner." She stated moving farther away.
"My body my have enjoyed it but my mind and soul did not. Clarke I didn't even know I had a boner until you told me. I told The Queen that I would never marry her and that you are the only one for me." As soon as I finished Clarke grabbed me and tackled me to the ground.
"I swear on the heavens if you ever let anybody else kiss you again I will kill them and then you." She said glaring at me.
"Don't worry I will never be kissing anybody else other than you again for the rest of my time. I have learned my lesson." I explained as she rolled off me and stood.
"I'm still mad at you Lexa but there are more important things to worry about than my girlfriend kissing other people. Now what happened after I left?"
"Clarke. I'm sorry I never meant for this to happen. Blake is nothing compared to you. The kiss only lasted a couple seconds."
"That's a fucking lie and you know it. It takes more the a couple seconds for somebody to get a boner Lexa. I'm not stupid. And what the fuck you're on a first name basis with her. What the hell Lexa? You know what never mind. Fuck you Lexa." Clarke said fuming.
"Clarke please listen to yourself. Think rationally. You are my heart and soul. Without you I don't know how to live. Your love keeps my heart beating." I said softly pulling her close.
"I need some more time Lexa I'll be back later?" Clarke said before walking out of the tent.
Four hours later
"Lexa! I'm back." Clarke called out from the front of the tent.
"We need to talk. What happened with the ice queen after I left is the alliance going to happen?" Clarke asked acting like we weren't haven't been fighting at all.
"I went back and talked with the Queen and we came to an agreement that the Ice Nations will be better off part of the alliance." I said moving to take off my armor and put it with Clarke's.
"The prisoners?" She asked as she moved toward me.
"I don't know about their status. I left to come to you before the they came to the mountain. Indra will have them leave the mountain at first light." I stated while I washed off the warpaint and dirt from the day.
"How are you feeling about your family coming back?" Clarke asked as we laid down next to each other in bed, but Clarke was as far away as possible from me.
"I'm not sure how I should feel. There are so many possible things that could happen with their return." I said quietly.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Well my father could become the Commander again and I could be killed, banished, or alliance will fail under his command and war is likely to break out. Or everything stays the same. Those are the things that I can think of." I said turning to face Clarke.
"How do we keep him from doing that?" She asked.
"My people will decide who is a better leader. My father he was known everywhere as 'The butcher' he was a great leader because people feared him and were too afraid to go against him. I fear the people will still be afraid to go against him." I explained. Soon the room was filled with silence. I looked to Clarke and I could tell she was far from sleep.
"It's late Clarke let's sleep." I said placing a kiss on her forehead as I kissed her she flinched away.
"I just can't stop thinking about what might happen tomorrow." She said sitting up. Any other night this would have given me a full view of Clarke's body but she insisted that we sleep with clothes. I assume it's because she is still upset from the events of today.
"There is little we can do Clarke." I said pulling her back down.
"Fine." She said bitterly turning away from me.
"Are we not cuddling tonight?" I questioned.
"I thought you did not like to cuddle?" She said turning back around to face me.
"I like knowing you're safe in my arms when we sleep. I like to be there for you when you have your nightmares. I like to cuddle with you." I said opening my arms for Clarke.
"Well in that case no we're not cuddling ." She responded bitterly. Clarke turned away from me and quickly fell asleep.
The Next Day
"Lexa wake up. They just sounded the arrival of our people." I felt my body being poked, but I did nothing.
"Lexa get up." Clarke yelled.
"I am the Commander you can not talk to me like that." I said jokingly getting up from the warmth and comfort of my bed.
"You are also my girlfriend and I will do whatever I want." She stated pulling me up with her strong arms.
"We don't want to be late. I want to make a good first impression on your parents." She said moving me to get dressed.
"Clarke we need to talk about what happened yesterday. It's not healthy for us to leave this unsettled." I said while grabbing Clarke so she would focus on what I was saying.
"Well we're going to have to leave this unsettled. We have more important things to do."
"There is nothing more important to me then you and our relationship. I want to fix this."
"Obviously that's not true. Or you would've stopped kissing the Queen way before you got a boner."
"Clarke how many times do I have to say sorry and that I never meant for this to happen. We were talking and all of a sudden she had kissed me. I got caught up in the feeling. On top of that I've been getting boners at the weirdest of times. It has a mind of its own."
"Who even are you, the Lexa I know would've never done that… You know Lexa you're only making things worse for yourself. So let just stop before I lose my cool. I need to make a good first impression on your parents and I can't do that if I'm not level headed."
"You do realize that my parents will hate you right?" I said with a smile chuckle.
"You don't know that." She said as walked out onto the street.
"Clarke you're not from and village you're from the sky. You are horrible at fighting. You aren't from a respectable family."
"Do they really believe that?"
"Yes, but just because my parents don't approve of you won't stop me from being with you." I said kissing Clarke on the temple and once again she flinched away.
"Okay." Clarke said as we came upon the gates. Once the gates were opened people stated filling in at first all warriors and Skaikru, but soon I saw the Ice Queen walk up and stand next to gave her a hardened glare and then the Queen moved a little away from me.
"Commander there are a total of 26 that the Ice Nation held captive." Indra informed me.
"That's more than we have on record they took." I stated with confusion.
"We used your people to work and we figured instead of taking more. We let them have children if they wish." The Ice Queen mentioned.
" They will want to see their Commander when they walk in. Many of them are children so they might want to touch and hug you." Indra reported then walked off. As if on command men women and children all started walking through the gates thanking and blessing me, then finding their loved ones. To my surprise not just the children felt the need to hug me, many of the women kissed and praised me. I looked over to where Clarke was and I she was glaring at all the woman with her hand on her holstered gun. All of a sudden everybody got ever quiet so I looked up to see a woman running toward me to hug me as she pulled back from the hug as could see now that it was Costia. She stared at me for some time before she tried to lean on a kiss me, but I quickly turned my head having her kiss land on my cheek. I looked over to Clarke and it seemed she had tears in her eyes but she soon brushed them away.
"Lexa it is me Costia." She said with a puzzled face.
"I know I could never forget your face. No matter how hard I tried." I admitted taking a step back from her.
"Than why do you withdraw from me?" She croaked out.
"I have a girlfriend. I love her very much."
"Love is told me that we I told you that I loved you." She countered then walked away. I thought to go after her, but I realized it would give her false hope and that there were still more people coming through the gates. A girl that resembled everything about me walked toward me. I looked at her as she stopped before me and all she did was feel my face.
"Are you my sister?" She questioned.
"I do believe so. I'm Lexa. What is your name?"
"Coley. I'm thirteen years old." She said happily.
"Well Coley I'm twenty years old." I said giving the girl a smile.
"I'm also going blind. But it's okay I have a great imagination."
"I can help with that. We could give her a pair of glasses. And if we can find the reason why she is going blind than we might be able to stop it." Clarke said coming forward and squatting down with us. Coley started to reach out to Clarke before a voiced stopped her.
"Hod op Coley. Bak op o yu gonplei kom heda en yu na wan op." a man's voice boomed. The man came up to the little girl swiftly moving her back.
"I am Thanatos Commander of these people and you and your people with leave here immediately." He barked in Clarke's face. I quickly step in between Clarke and my father.
"I am the Commander and no harm will come to Clarke or the Skaikru." I told the man before me but soon as I said that he moved to grab my sword and then held it to my neck. All my guards raised their sword towards Thanatos.
"Lexa is our Commander and she will be till she dies. If you hurt her in any way we will kill you." Indra voiced.
"Thanatos stand down. You are not the Commander anymore and it's foolish for you to think you would be. Our daughter is doing well as Commander." My mother stated lowering the sword.
"Our daughter doesn't deserve the throne she has been giving. No woman should ever be Commander." Thanatos said moving toward me again. This time my guard disarmed him and knocked him down.
"I don't not care about what you think or who you are. The next time you threaten me I will not hesitate to kill you. Coley will be given the help she needs to see again." I said being fed up with the man.
"There will be no more problems coming from Thanatos.I promise you that." My mother stated quickly pushing her husband back.
"I will hold you to that promise. Now Coley how about Clarke and I take you to see if we can get you all fixed up?" I asked the girl while holding out my hand to her.
"That sounds great." She said holding onto my hand as tight as possible. As we walked away from Thanatos with our mother behind us.
Notes: Two chapters in the same week?! I know its weird for me too. Anyway here is some things i thought you might want to know.
the meaning behind both of Lexa's parents names are really important to the story so Lexa's dads name Thanatos means death and Lexa's moms name which wasn't said in this chapter, but next chapter means dearly loved.
Trigedasleng translation: Bak op o yu gonplei kom heda en yu na wan op- Stay back or you fight with the commander and you will die.
Please leave a comment. P.S. they always make me want to post another chapter.
Hope you all enjoy this chapter.
