A/N: I know! not three but FOUR chapters in ONE DAY?! I'm just as shock as all of you! But I figured so long as the ideas are flowing and I have the chance to actually write in peace and quite I better take advantage of it! SO here's the next chapter! Again I apologize for any mistakes that slipped through on me.
Warning: Also, this is a very mature story rated MA+, seeing as that isn't an option on this site, I'm warning you now. If you don't like it, aren't old enough or what ever. Then don't read it and don't complain ruining it for everyone else! Girl on girl action coming in future chapters!
Disclaimer: I own NOTHING!
Enjoy!

I put my good arm on the saddle for support and push myself off of Lexa's lap and slid onto the ground. Without even bothering to look back at Heda I began to walk back to the Ark no longer wishing to share the horse with her. If she didn't want to be the women I fell in love with when we were alone like we were now, then I didn't want to be around her, let alone share a horse in such an intimate way. I didn't have to wait long before I heard her horse moving behind me.
"Clarke?" I ignored her and continued to walk. "Clarke?" Still I ignored her. I wondered to myself how long her patience would last. I had my answer not two minutes later when I heard her feet hit the ground and I was spun around to face her. I knew she was going to more than likely attempt something like that so I had taken one of the many daggers out and held it ready. So when Lexa spun me around I reached out and held it to her throat, I wasn't going to hurt her, I could never hurt the women I love. But that didn't mean it was ok for her to hurt me and touch me when I didn't want to be touched.
"Don't touch me HEDA, what do you want." Lexa immediately released me from her grasp, eyes wide. Oh NOW she lets her mask go. That angered me more. Lexa swallowed hard. "I just wanted to know what I did to anger you so much that you didn't want to share my horse with me anymore." I raised a single eyebrow at her. REALLY! I clenched my jaw together tightly and pushed the dagger more firmly onto her neck to get my point across. "Really HEDA you don't know the answer to that?" I didn't wait for an answer. "How about when you decided to put your mask on and ignore me. If you can't even be the Lexa I fell in love with for more than two hours then I don't want to be around you."
I removed the dagger from her throat and spun back around and resumed my walk to the Ark. I slide the dagger back into its place on my thigh. I didn't bother to look back to see if Lexa was following or not. I was too angry to care if she followed or not. I walked for roughly half an hour before a guard I didn't know rode up on a horse beside me. "Wanheda, would you like to have my horse to ride for the rest of the journey?" I glanced up to him and frowned, then looked back over my shoulder to see Lexa about a hundred yard behind us, riding her horse with her head bowed.
I didn't feel sorry, if anything it angered me more that she couldn't even fight with me and tell me why she had put her mask on to begin with. I looked back to the guard who was still beside me. "Did HEDA put you up to this?" The guard shook his head. "No Wanheda, I did this all on my own, I know your angry with Heda so I thought I'd offer you my horse, I can travel in the trees with the rest of the guards." I thought about that for a moment. "Okay then, I shall take you up on your offer." The guard stopped the horse and dismounted. He bowed to me and helped me up onto the horse. "Mochof, what is your name?" The guard bowed once more to me. "Pro Wanheda, I am Alexander." I smiled at him, "Mochof Alexander." He nodded me and once more and left into the trees.
Before I began to move again I looked over my shoulder to see if Lexa had stopped when I stopped or continued to move. When I saw that Lexa had stopped, my blood boiled over to the point of no return. I was beyond livid now. Did she not care at all?! I let out a cry of frustration and kicked my heels into the sides of the horse and speed towards Lexa. This ended now.
Lexa snapped her head up just as I reached her and came to a stop. I waited a few moments to see if she would say anything. When it was clear she wasn't going to speak I grit my teeth and took a deep breath, attempting to calm myself at least a little bit. "Do you not care about me at all that you can't even fight with me?" I didn't let her speak, I wasn't anywhere near finished. "I mean I thought I meant at least SOMETHING to you, I mean after all, you told me you loved me and gave me armor that matches yours, as well as your colours. That I also know is supposed to mean something because not another soul of your people wear the red cape but you, but yet you can't even face me and tell me why you put your mask on." I took a deep breath. "I wouldn't even be this angry if you would talk to me Lexa. But you can't even do that."
I stayed silent and waited for a few minutes for her to talk. Just as I was about to give up hope that she would say something, she cleared her throat. "I apologize for my actions Wanheda; I did not mean to insult or anger you." I stayed silent with my own emotionless mask in place. "I did not mean to ignore you, I was lost in my own thoughts, and as for my mask. The thoughts I was trapped in are the ones I use my mask for. When I remember Titus's words of love is weakness or the death of Costia and how it was my fault for her death." She took a deep breath and continued.
"You are right, me giving you my armor and my colours to wear is significant, it means you are my mate, every single one of my people that see you in that know you are my mate. So when I was silent it was because I realized I put you in danger, I don't want you to become like Costia." My heart clenched in my chest at her words. Why couldn't she say that to me hours ago? Then I realized, the answer. Lexa isn't used to having to share her feelings. It's new territory for her. I felt like such an ass for getting so angry, but I was vulnerable just as much as she was, I didn't know where we stood, just that she loved me. Now I knew.
I steered my horse right next to Lexa's and grabbed onto the collar of her armor and pulled her lips to mine in a deep kiss. Lexa let out a moan that made me smirk. We kissed for a couple more minutes before I broke it and looked into her eyes. "I love you Lexa, I'm sorry for my actions, but I was vulnerable and unsure of what we were so when you put your mask on I assumed the worst." I paused gathering myself together. "Thank you for the concern of my safety Lexa, but I can defend myself. I've been trained in fencing since I was 5 years old." Lexa raised her eyebrow at me confused but didn't ask. I chuckled but didn't explain, I would have to show her when I was healed enough to handle a sword.
I turned my horse around to start the trek again to the Ark. "Come on Lex, we don't have much longer to the Ark, I have plans for us once were there and I've dealt with my people." Lexa gave me a heart melting smile at my words and kicked her horse into a gallop beside my own. I was extremely glad it wasn't much further to the Ark because ten minutes into riding my own horse and my shoulder was screaming in pain.
