''What happened?'' Clarke asked worried. Looking at Lexa, who looked with fear in her eyes. Clarke knew Lexa well enough to know that something was wrong.
Lexa turned around to face Clarke for a second ''Nothing. It's okay'' she said with a fake smile on her face. She didn't want Clarke to worry about any of this because she knew what her main focus was.
Clarke nodded, not wanting to piss of Lexa.
''I have to go'' Lexa said shortly before leaving Clarke behind in the room.
Lexa had always loved Polis, with it's beautiful streets filled with happines, and of course the skyscraper. It was a place where she felt like she belonged. Well that was how she used to feel, nowadays nothing felt like home anymore. She had no idea what her home was.
Lexa left her quarters and walked down the street to get some food. It was raining but she didn't mind. Sometimes she actually enjoyed the rain, because somehow it reflected on how she felt somedays. Lexa walked over to a nearby window and saw her reflection. She looked tired.
Lexa was caught of guard by something, or rather someone. Lexa had no idea who it was. But this person looked angry. Lexa gulped, she was not prepared for any confrontation tonight. She had left her weapons back in her room, when she walked out on Clarke.
As the person came closer, Lexa saw the glint in her eye. Lexa gazed worried at the person, trying to read her.
''Commander?'' the woman asked angry.
Lexa nodded ''yes I am the Commander'' she spat out.
They looked angry at each other. The woman took a few steps closer and hit Lexa unconscious. ''It's nothing personal'' the person said with a grin, before dragging Lexa with her into the darkness.
Clarke woke up the next morning. She had fallen asleep pretty quick after Lexa left her behind. Clarke gave Lexa her space because she knew that Lexa needed that sometimes. Clarke sat up on the bed, and looked around the room. She didn't see Lexa anywhere, and thought that was a bit odd. Clarke stood up and noticed Lexas weapons still lying on the couch. ''This can't be good'' Clarke thought to herself.
''GUARDS!'' Clarke yelled.
The doors opened a few seconds later with two guard storming into the room. They turned to Clarke, who had a worried look on her face.
''You called for us?'' One of the guards asked.
Clarke nodded ''Yes. The Commander isn't anywhere to be found'' Clarke said rushed, in a worried tone.
''What do you mean?''the guards asked.
''Your Commander left last night. But her weapons are still here'' Clarke said annoyed.
Lexa opened her eyes. She needed to get used to the light around here. She had no idea where she was.
''Speak!'' A womans voice said angry.
Lexa didn't know what was going on, so she remained silent. She looked up to see a woman, in a red dress standing in front of her. She had black hair, and looked angry. But something around her didn't seem to add up, it looked like she wasn't really human. It didn't take long until Lexa realized who it was.
''Alie'' Lexa spat out in anger.
''Good guess. Now tell me, Commander'' Alie said sarcastically ''How does it feel to lose everything around you?'' she said with a grin.
''I wouldn't know'' Lexa said shortly before grinning at Alie. ''You know, I've been through much worse. I'll never give you what you want''.
She knew everything. She knew about Clarke. The City of Light and what her mission was. Alie slapped her in her face. But Lexa didn't even flinch. She had been through much worse. Lexa spat in Alies face. Alie pulled out her knife and sliced Lexa in her stomach. Alie watched as the blood seeped from the cut.
''Start talking!'' Alie demanded.
Lexa glared at Alie. She remained quiet. Alie had enough of it. She kicked Lexa down on the ground before her.
Lexa recovered from the kick and sat down before Alie on the ground. She looked up, staring straight at Alie.
''What makes you happy?'' Alie asked with a grin. ''Because I'll take everything away from you''.
Lexa grinned at Alie, not giving in to the pain ''You don't ask people with knives in their stomaches what makes them happy; happines is no longer the point. It's all about survival; it's about whether you pull the knife out and bleed to death or keep it..'' Lexa said.
''You're mistake, Commander'' Alie said, laughing at Lexa.
''Your precious Clarke is coming for you soon enough..and she doesn't have a clue, does she?''.
''DON'T'' Lexa growled.
Alie knocked Lexa out with in the next few seconds.
Lexa woke up the next morning in a chair in the cell she had orignally been placed in. She looked around the room to study her surroundings, trying to figure a way out of this place. Lexa heard footsteps coming closer to her cell, in the past she would've feared this before she took Command. But nowadays, nothing scared her anymore.
This time it was Jaha with Kane that walked inside the room. They had so much in store for Lexa today. They were pretty sure it would get them to talk. Jaha was aware that the human body could only take so much.
''Tell me everything you know about Alies plans'' Jaha commanded.
''No!'' Lexa yelled through gritted teeth.
Jaha took a few steps closer to Lexa and gave her a few hits on her face. Before grabbing her by her throat. Lexa stared into the empty eyes of Jaha and Kane. She knew this was Alies doing. Whatever they wanted to know, Lexa knew she had to remain silent.
''Still not talking, huh?'' Jaha asked angry.
''I would be a fool to say anything'' Lexa grinned.
Lexa got lost in her thoughts for a few seconds. She had no idea how people could become like this. She knew it had something to do with Alie. But she had known Marcus Kane, for a long time now and had never seen him like this. Even in her old life, where he didn't like her, he had a caring look in his eyes. Here? Nothing.
Lexa instantly stopped thinking about it, when Marcus punched her in her face again. Lexas face was already swollen and bruised.
Marcus grabbed a chair and sat down across from Lexa. ''You're not going to make this easy on us, are you?'' he asked.
Lexa shook her head ''No''.
Jaha leaned forward and caressed Lexas swollen cheek. Lexa jerked away, trying to get out of his reach. ''Don't touch me!'' she growled.
''You know. If you will actually live to see another day..that will take some time to heal'' he grinned.
''I'm aware'' Lexa said angry.
Kane was about to punch Lexa again in her face, when the celldoor was kicked open. Clarke ran into the room, pointing a gun at Jaha and Kane ''Get away from her'' She yelled.
''Make us'' Jaha said. Not backing away from Lexa. This made Clarke angry, so she pulled the trigger and shot Jaha in his leg. Kane backed away from Clarke, not wanting to get shot.
''Get down on your knees!'' Clarke demanded.
Marcus got down on his knees and let Clarke pass him so she could reach Lexa. Clarke sat down next in front of Lexa and cut her loose from the chair. She helped Lexa up from the chair and strumbled with her out of the cell ''It's okay. I got you'' she said to Lexa, in a caring tone.
''It is happening. Sooner than I thought'' Lexa said.
''What is?'' Clarke asked surprised.
''The City of Light'' Lexa stated.
