Chapter inspiration- T.N.T - AC/DC ( could Raven have a more perfect song?)
A Proposal
Raven grinned as she walked through the Arkadia carrying the radio's Abby requested, she decided to drop them off on the way to medical. Thesda had woken up and she was in a delicate mood with her medication. She was bored as Anya refused to let her leave her bed, which Raven couldn't blame her for doing so as her injuries are still severe. She had seen Thesda after she had woken up , but with the medication she spent hours sleeping. Raven decided she would surprise her with music and old earth movies. She had finally finished fixing her Ipod and had downloaded all the music data from the Arks systems as she knew the girl loved to sing. She was exited her self to see her reactions to the movies as they had no technology like it in polis or on the ground. She couldn't wait to show Thesda. She scrolled through the music selection as she walked , putting it on shuffle. She froze in the hallway when a familiar song came on.
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
Well I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)...
Of all songs to play it had to be that one.. It reminded Raven of her dad. Back on the Arkadia when he came home from work ,he used to sing it to her when she felt down. It always put a smile on her face. He may have been Jacapo Sinclair, the chief engineer to the rest of the ark. But to her he was just her goofy dad. He was all she had after her mother died in child birth. He gave Raven her mothers second name to honour her memory, so Raven always had something of hers that would never go away. She missed her father more than anything, even more than Finn.
Raven quickly wiped her tears away. She knew if he was here and saw her cry he would clip her over the head like he used to. She smiled at the thought as she skipped to the next song. The songs where all super old but they didn't have a recording studio on the Ark.
See me ride out of the sunset
On your colour TV screen
Out for all that I can get
If you know what I mean
"Hell yeah!" Raven fist pumped. It was a sign.
"Women to the left of me, And women to the right. Ain't got no gun, Ain't got no knife. Don't you start no fight!" She head bopped as she headed down to Abby's
"Cause I'm T.N.T! I'm fucking dynamite!" she sang not giving a shit who looked, she knew they where just jealous. She made a turn down the corridor to the chancellors quarters.
"MOMMA G!" Raven yelled as she waltzed into the chancellors rooms carrying a box of radios in one arm. She didn't hear the suspicious noises coming from Abby's quarters as she had had headphones shoved over hear head blasting AC/DC. "I got your radios here Momma G and - " Her jaw dropped at the site of Kane's pants around his ankles with his bare ass on show. "-OH MY GOD MY EYES!" Raven cried as she dropped the box to cover her face before staggering back out the door. What made it worse was that he was with Abby. The woman who was pretty much her adoptive mother. She moved as fast as her leg would let her. She went through the corridors, headed towards the only person she could really share this with.
Kane and Abby froze there movements, both in pure shock of the situation before Abby punched Kane in the shoulder.
"Marcus! You said you locked the door!" Abby yelled as she shoved the man off of her before grabbing her underwear.
"I'm sorry i was distracted, i just forgot!" Kane said as he pulled his pants up." At least it wasn't Clarke."
"For Arks sake, shut up Marcus." Abby said as she quickly dressed. "I need to find Raven." she said as she ran out the door.
Kane stood in the room sighing. The fantastic start to the day ended in disaster. He knew he was right though, it could have been Clarke. They both knew they would have to tell her eventually, but Abby wanted to wait until everything was sorted with the Azgeda. He always had a thing for Abby, more so when they landed on earth. They became close friends and it grew from that. They had started seeing each other after mount weather, both agreeing that life on earth was short and uncertain. They decided to make a go of it in secret until they told Clarke.
Kane strapped his gun to his side along with his walkie talkie.. It was going to be a long day.
...
"O , oh my god O !" Raven squeaked as she bombarded her tent without knocking. Octavia refused to stay inside the Arkadia and chose to sleep in her tent with the rest of Trikru. She had the tent to herself now Lincoln lived in the Arkadia. She offered Eska the option to share her tent as the Trikru despised Azgeda because of Queen Nia. She was more than happy to stay with her friend, she was great company.
"Rae what's wrong?" Octavia said worriedly as she dropped her sword and sharpening stone and ran over to her friend. She pulled the limping Raven to her furs and sat her down. Eska watched with confusion from her bed. She had no idea what could have caused Raven to be distressed.
She still wished Octavia would have let her sleep on the ground. Octavia told her she could take the make shift bed as a Princess couldn't sleep on the floor. Of course she objected, she wanted to be treated like everyone else. In the end they agreed to take it in turns.
"Iwnttoseeabbyandgivehertheradiosandshewasbumpinguglieswithkane!"
"NO WAY!"
"Heliterallyhadhispandsdownhisanklesshowingoffhisbareasssoidroppedtheradiosandimnowhere" Raven gasped for breath.
"Umm you understood that?" Eska asked had no idea what so ever was going on. Was it a Skaikru language? Octavia nodded in response as both warriors watched Raven curl up in foetal position on her furs.
"What did she say, if you don't mind me asking?"
" Its no problem. She said she went to see Abby and give her the radio's and she was bumping uglies with Kane." Octavia cringed at the thought."And then she said he literally had his pants down his ankles showing off his bare ass , so she dropped the radio's and came here."
"Does that mean they were.."
"Yeah they were having sex." Octavia wouldn't usually use that term but she had to use easy words for Eska.,As she didn't live on the Arkadia there words would make no sense to a grounder.
"Oh i see why Raven feels ill.." Eska wrinkled her nose.
"O what am i gonna do! She's gonna come here." Raven whined as grabbed Octavia's arm and dragged her to the furs.
"By the sound of it she didn't get to come anywhere..."
"STOP IT O!"
"Chill out, doubt she would look here in the first place." Octavia said as she cuddled Raven.
"Il keep watch while you talk." Eska said reassuringly as she moved to the entrance, giving Octavia time to calm a stressed Raven.
"I don't think i can look at them again, il have to move to Polis with Thesda and hide in the big tower she keeps talking about."
"Talking about moving in already?" Octavia smirked
"Whaa i didn't mean .. i don't- "
"Sorry to intrude, but Doctor Griffin is walking this way.. More like running." Eska said as she closed the tent door.
Octavia jumped to her feet and pulled up the rattled Raven.
"Fuck! O what do i do?! "
Octavia looked around the room helplessly. Before looking to Eska.
"Quick, get under here." Eska said as she pulled her pack from under the bed for Raven to squeeze was a big enough space to hide the mechanic.
"Thankyouthankyou i love you!" Raven said as she shuffled under the bed. Octavia and Eska looked at each other awkwardly before Abby tapped on the tent door.
"Octavia are you in here?"
" in Abby!" Eska rested her back on the end of her bed, hiding the mechanics boots as she pretended to be interested in sharpening her dagger.
Abby walked through the tent and Octavia wanted to laugh. She looked a mess. Her shirt was on back to front and her hair was sticking up. She didn't have the heart to tell her.
"I'm looking for Raven, Monty said she came this way?" she said eyeing the two girls.
"Well if she did she hasn't come to see me yet, maybe she went to Lexa's tent to pick up Thesda's stuff. I know she said she would do that."
Abby seemed to buy Octavia's excuse." Okay well if you see her...tell her we need to talk."
"No problem Doc." Octavia said and Eska nodded quietly.
"Well i will see you tomorrow for the council meeting. The Commander and Clarke have requested you both attend." Abby said before she made her way out of the tent and towards Lexa's.
Octavia sighed. A council meeting she was invited too couldn't be good. She knew it would be about the inevitable war. They all waited a few minuets making sure Abby was long gone before they moved to help Raven.
"You cant avoid her forever Rae." Octavia said as she helped her from under Eska's bed. " We have to go to the meeting later, Clarke and the Commander has requested us."
" I know but I cant look at her the same way." Raven whined.
"Well you have until the meeting until you have to." Octavia grinned as Raven sulked.
"They know I know."
"Don't worry about it Rae, they will probably know that I do too." Octavia laughed.
"Yeah but at least you wasn't there, I cant unsee it. I might have to create and invention to wipe that memory from my mind."
"Anyway why are you here and not with Thesda?"
"SHIT!" Raven clambered up and darted to the door. "Anya is going to kill me for being late!"
"I'm so happy I am not her, Anya is intense."
"Sha she is very intimidating. Raven is brave to court her daughter."
"She is. Unless she sees Abby at it again." Eska laughed. "Raven has fallen from the sky, gotten sick, burned three hundred warriors ,badly shot, operated on awake, put on a tree and tortured by the mountain men. Yet she has a complete melt down when she walks in on Abby. " Octavia said as she shook her head.
"Sha she is braver than I thought."
Thesda was laid down on her bed. She hated sleeping in the tin can, it smelt funny and there was no fresh air. It was nothing like home, Everything was white and grey. No colours at all. All she wanted was to be back in her room in polis, and take a bath. It annoyed her that she panicked every time she woke up realising she was not at home. Instead she was in the dull room having watery medicine drip into her arm through a strange piece of string. Skaikru medicine was different from Trikru, they gave medicine through needles and the funny string. Raven explained it to her, saying it was safe. As she had stopped her remove the strange object from her arm. When Raven told her is was safe, she believed her.
Raven was supposed to come and visit her but she still hadn't turned up. The only person to show was the male healer Jackson, who gave her more Skaikru medicine as she was in pain. He told her the medicine would make her feel funny and she wasn't to worry.
When some one tells her not to worry, she worries.
Anya questioned this as always, wanting to know exactly what the medicine would do to her body and what she should look out for. All he said was that it would stop the pain and maybe make her overly emotional.
"Uggggh can i go and find her?"
"No. Clarke and Abby said you had to rest, and that is what you will be doing." Anya grunted as she stopped her push ups. She had no idea how Thesda even thought she could physically leave the room to find the girl.
"Nomon I'm not a goufa!" Thesda whined was not please at being bed bound, it was worse than the time she had gotten winter sickness.
"You will always be my goufa and so will Lexa so deal with it." Anya flipped over and started to do sit ups. She couldn't afford to get unfit and sloppy, not with war on the horizon. She had to be at her fittest to serve as Heda's General. She would need her in the upcoming fight.
Thesda pulled her pillow over her face with her good arm and groaned. Everyone else was busy preparing to leave for polis and here she was stuck in bed like an old woman."Ai want kom bants disha raunkova." (I want to leave this room)she said as she attempted to throw the pillow at Anya but failed as the movement made her yelp in pain. She grasped her injured side as she let out a small sob.
Anya shot up from the floor as she heard the girl yelp. She frowned as she moved to checked her wounds. She carefully untied her top to examine the bandages , making sure she hadn't ripped open her stitches. She pulled it to the side and brushed her fingers over the clean white bandages, checking for any sign of bleeding. She swallowed the lump in her throat ash she examined her shoulder. She had seen many wounds in her time, but seeing her child injured did not sit well with her at all. Especially Thesda as he had been through so much already. Deciding she was ok she tied up her top and pulled the blanket up so she wouldn't get cold. Anya moved to pick up the pillow, giving her a warning look before shoving the pillow under her head.
Thesda tried to sit up in protest but Anya glared at her again and shoved her head back on the pillow. "No. Yu laik nou kom bants disha raunkova taim the fisa teik in yu kom" (No. You are not allowed to leave this room until the healer allows you to.)Anya moved towards the only chair in the room and sat on it hanging her legs over the edge.
She was tired.
She was on edge constantly, yes the Skaikru saved Thesda but she still didn't like being in the middle of there camp. She preferred to sleep in her tent outside camp, yet she couldn't do that as Thesda needed to stay where she was. There was no way she would leave her under the guard of anyone else when she was in her delicate state. It wasn't that she didn't trust her warriors, they would die for her. It was the fact that she wasn't comfortable leaving her. Not yet.
"I feel fine!"
"You unable to throw a pillow at me strik won(little one) You are not fine. When the healers say you are well, and you can hit me with a pillow I will accept that you are fine" Anya closed her eyes , listening to Thesda's breathing increase.
"Ai nou ron op a skrish chit emo vout in! Ai laik fis op "I don't give a shit what they think! I am healed!)Thesda spat as she tried to get out of bed.
Anya growled as she jumped out of her chair and caught Thesda before she hit the ground. She picked her up bridal style and lifted her back onto the bed. She hadn't had to deal with a temper tantrum since Thesda was younger, it was like going back in time. Jackson did say that her medication could cause mood never really acted out , even as a small child.
"I told you to stay in bed!" Anya snarled. "You could have opened your wound!."Thesda flinched as her mother finally snapped.
"Do you have any idea what it was like for me?! I go home to find a note saying you have left with Lexa to find Clarke. I was worried sick, and i was right to be! Then I get a letter from Lexa saying Hyatt was killed and you where badly injured, then i come here to find you dead on the table!"
"Nomon-"Thesda winced at her mothers words. She still felt guilty for leaving, but she was happy she did. If she didn't Lexa would have been killed by Roan, The Queen would have had Clarke and She would never have met Raven as she would have been killed by Azgeda. Her head felt strange like it was full of air.
"No Thesda, you have no idea what it was like! I have lost you twice! I held your dead body in my arms! And now you want to risk your life by being a branwada!" Anya roared as she slammed her fist on the side table sending mugs flying across the room.
"Ai laik moba nomon beja wigod op me. ai did nou mana kom laksen yu."(I am sorry mother please forgive me , i did not intent to hurt you.)
Anya ran her fingers through her hair as she took deep had let her emotions get the best of her and now wasn't the was not in the right state of mind and she didn't want to make her feel worse.
"Nomon.." Thesda sobbed as she tried to sit up in bed. Anya sighed, the medicine must be very potent to effect her daughter this way.
"Im tired."
"You are becoming a pain in the ass." Anya said as she squished herself on the bed with Thesda and pulled the girl closer being careful of her wound. Thesda snuggled closer to Anya and rested her head on Anya's chest like she did when she was smaller and afraid.
"Moba.. nomon"(Sorry.. mother) Thesda sniffled as her breathing regulated.
"Riden ai strik won" ( Sleep little one)Anya continued to rub circles over her back as she drifted to sleep.
She would be having words with Raven when she finally shows up.
...
Clarke took a deep breath as she calmed her nerves hoped the rest of the council would think carefully before making there decision. The new Skaikru council now consisted of Clarke, Abby, Kane, Raven and Bellamy. As Abby was Chancellor she would only get to vote if the other council members came to a tie. She would be the tie breaker. the council asked Raven and Bellamy to be members as of this to the fact of there personal skills.
Raven with her mechanical expertise and blunt opinions. And Bellamy because of his successful mission in mount weather and his leadership skills.
Lexa had come up with the idea to become part of the coalition, becoming the Thirteenth clan. It would be the only way skaikru would survive the incoming war. Queen Nia was already after Clarke, and more warriors to fight in her arena. The Azgeda forces are the biggest clan on the ground and this alone posed a great threat to there survival. The other issue they where facing was the threat of other clans in the coalition, they where already getting edgy and wanting to destroy Skaikru because of there likeness to the mountain men.
If Skaikru agreed to Lexa's proposal they would be under her protection and other clans in the coalition could not attack without causing a war. Clarke knew Kane would do what was best for his people, knowing he would more than likely agree to join. Raven would have her back as always, but the problem would be to convince Bellamy and her mother.
Nyx seemed to feel Clarke's distress and rubbed her face against Clarke's arm as she sat next to her. Nyx always seemed to know when she felt stressed and how to make her feel more relaxed. She was fully grown now, far larger than her mother. For the few days they had been here everyone was intrigued about her new friend. Her mother seemed very nervous of her feline friend, not trusting that she wouldn't eat Clarke. Clarke of course dismissed her thoughts telling her she raised the cat. She wouldn't harm anyone unless Nyx was under attack or if anyone was a threat to her. Nyx was picky with people. She was already happy to be around Raven , Octavia and Eska. Yet to Clarke's surprise Nyx had taken a liking to Bellamy of all people. Raven of course took the opportunity to tease him ,telling him it was the only time of pussy that would come near him.
Lexa watched the night cat comfort Clarke. She was glad Nyx could be there for her when Clarke wouldn't allow her to be. She was intrigued with there relationship. It reminded her of the stories Anya told her as a child , stories of a clan called Keryonbiskru. They shared part of there soul with an animal forming a life long bond. She would have to tell Clarke the story if she would allow her too.
Clarke sat at the head of the table with the Commander standing to her left and Nyx to her right as they watched everyone filterer into the room.
Not just the council members from the Ark where invited , Octavia , Anya and Eska where also asked to be present. Anya because she was the Commanders General. Octavia was there best bridge between Skaikru and Trikru. And Eska because she held information on the Azgeda.
"Must you have that cat in here Clarke" Abby said as she wrinkles her nose at the cat. "Its shedding."
Nyx huffed much to Anya's amusement who smirked at Abby. "She stays with me." Clarke said as she shot her mother daggers.
"She's not the only thing that 'shedded' her fur." Raven whispered to Octavia who snorted in response. Abby glared at the pair as she over heard
Lexa waited for everyone to be seated before Clarke gave her a nod to speak. "We have bought you all here today to discuss our proposal." Everyone looked at each other with confusion before staring at Clarke and Lexa with wide eyes.
"Not that type of proposal." Clarke rolled her eyes at her friends. And Lexa raised her eyebrow." The Commander wants to make us an offer." Everyone slumped back in there chairs after the moment of shock, the situation now making sense.
"As I was saying." Lexa tried to control her blush as she realised what everyone thought. She was rattled. She would be more than happy to be bound to Clarke for the rest of their lives and the thought made her blush harder. " Clarke and I have discussed the future of our people and the best way to do that would be to become one."
Raven snickered and Octavia sucked her bottom lip in trying to stifle her laugh. Abby looked horrified as her mouth hung open, Anya didn't look the least bit surprised. "Are they getting married or not?" Bellamy whispered to Octavia who shrugged. The silence was broken by Kane.
"Your proposing that Sky crew join your coalition as the Thirteenth clan?" Kane asked as he looked at the two leaders in confusion.
"Yes. I am offering you to join my coalition as the Thirteenth clan. Your people will be my people and fight together as one." Lexa said as she gripped the back of Clarke's chair for support.
"No disrespect Commander , but you have betrayed us once before." Abby said as she eyes the girl. The room lit up in anger and confusion, preventing Lexa from speaking. Before she could tell them to be quiet Clarke cut in.
"SHE HAD NO CHOICE!" Clarke slammed her fists on the table like she saw the General do before receiving a smirk from Anya. The room went silent as she held every ones attention. "If they gave me the option i would have taken it! It is what you do for your people."
"Clarke, you wouldn't betray your allies-" Abby said before Clarke listed her hand cutting her off.
"I did betray them. I let my allies in the mountain die, I killed them to save our people!" Clarke closed her eyes for a brief second as she gathered herself. Nyx and Lexa's presence gave her the comfort she needed. "Lexa and i are no different. We bear it so our people don't have to."
"If you accept , you will be part of my coalition. I could never betray you as you are my people. You would be protected from outside threats, and the other clans that are in my coalition." Lexi said as she looked at Abby.
"What the Commander is saying is that if we refuse to join , we are fair game to the twelve clans?" Octavia said as she sat back in her chair.
" Trikru will not fight you, we are at peace." Lexa replied.
"I doubt Floukru would, They are all for 'Peace' and refuse to fight." Anya said as she rolled her eyes.
"What happens to us if we join your coalition? What would you want from us?" Raven asked as no one else seemed to have though about it.
"Yeah what would we have to do?" Bellamy added.
"You would be required to pull your weight in the clans do this by trade goods to other clans to form better relationships and to get goods that they would not be able to get within there borders. Such as Floukru who trade fish for game with Trikru. In turn Trikru trade game with ingranronakru for horses and so on."
"We don't have any goods to trade." Bellamy frowned.
"Maybe not goods but we have skills that could prove useful." Clarke added as she turned to Lexa who nodded in agreement.
"Abby you have healing skills and equipment we do not have , that would be acceptable."
"Hey don't forget about me!" Raven screeched.
"We haven't forgotten about you Raven, we know you can blow shit up and fix things." Octavia patted her on her shoulder.
"I can do more than just 'Fix' things. Especially when i have Monty with me for a few late nights. Last time we where together my brain and his had a dirty affair and now look. We have a beautiful baby we made together. She's gorgeous!"
"Maybe you could let Wick join you two?" Kane said as she approved of the idea.
Anya snapped her head around at Raven. Was she openly boasting to sleeping with a man while in a relationship with her daughter? Just as she was about to fly over the table and throttle her but Octavia spoke up first.
"Yes you love your baby and she is pretty amazing. But i don't think many grounders would ride in the rover."
"What is this Rover?" Anya asked as she frowned at that the 'Rover' isn't an actual baby.
"The Rover is a machine with wheels that Raven and Monty built together. It runs on solar power and can carry a bunch of faster than horses." Octavia jumped in, saving Raven from the smite of Anya.
"Faster than horses?" Anya asked curiously.
"Of course, i created her." Raven beamed.
"Now we have established trade, what is going to be don't about the Ice Nation?" Kane asked Lexa and Clarke.
"Azgeda have violated the terms of my coalition. They have stole my people to fight for her amusement, mocking my right to command. There will be war, when and how will be decided when i return to the Capital." Lexa said seriously as she paced behind Clarke. Queen Nia had to pay the price for her Costia and her sister, Stealing her people and then putting a bounty out for Clarke. It was unacceptable.
"We also have another issue." Clarke said as she rubbed her temples. "They have weapons from the mountain how i was captured."
"Your kidding right?" Bellamy said as he looked at Clarke then to Octavia.
"No. Wanheda does not lie. I have seen him myself." Eska said who sat quiet the whole time. She had no doubt this is why Clarke asked her to attend.
"Who's him?" Abby asked worriedly.
"The last Maunon."
"She means Emerson." Clarke confirmed
This wasn't a shock for Lexa, Raven and Octavia as they had known since saving Clarke. The others did not take the new information too well.
"Fuck! That slimy bastard!" Bellamy growled.
"They have weapons from mount weather?!" Abby shrieked.
"I don't know how much they have.." Clarke said as she looked to Eska for help.
"I am sorry i do not know much, i saw him when i was not suppose to. All i know is the Queen sent her people to the mountain as i left with Roan."
"Heda this is not good.." Anya said as she looked truly worried. "They have the largest numbers out of the clans and now they have Maunon weapons."
"I am aware." Lexa said as she held her head high. "If Skaikru accept my invitation we will have Maunon weapons on our side."
"We are stuck between a rock and a hard place." Abby said as she ran her hand through her hair. "If we refuse to join we get destroyed by the Ice Nation or Other clans. If we join we go to war."
"Either way we go to war, the most logical thing is to join the Commander and erase the threat of the Azgeda. We will be better off in the long run , we might actually survive."
"Sounds good to me. Kill Evil Elsa and her snowmen. Then we can move out of this tin can." Raven muttered as she had no intention to be away from Thesda.
"She means Ice Queen." Octavia supplied, making sense to the rest of the grounders.
"Ah. Well you will all be welcome to move into Polis. In time you would be able to live within the Twelve clans but i would wait until we have peace."Lexa said. Yes they could live within other clans but it wasn't advisable, not yet at least.
"Thank you Commander." Kane nodded.
"Is there any other major topics that must be discussed?"
The room was silent.
"You will have until Midday to make your choice. I will be leaving for Polis at first light."
...
Lexa and Clarke watched everyone leave the meeting with serious faces due to the choice they had to make. Clarke hoped that Lexa's offer would be enough. They had four hours to choose.
They both stood in silence as Kane closed the door behind himself.
"Clarke we need to talk about this.." Lexa gestured between them. "You cant keep ignoring me when we are alone."
Clarke groaned as she slid into her chair. she knew she would have to talk to Lexa alone. When Thesda was hurt, she made it her mission to save her for Lexa, so she wouldn't be alone. Now she realised Thesda made a decent buffer to prevent 'The talk' between them.
Clarke knew she loved Lexa, that she didn't doubt. But she couldn't put herself in that situation to be hurt. The thought alone scared her.
"I know we do Lexa." Clarke sighed. "Id rather we spoke about this after the possible alliance and war."
"You are afraid of me." Lexa dropped her hands to her side.
Clarke stayed silent as she watched the girls posture crumble.
"You think i will betray you again." Lexa said as her green eyes met Clarke's watering blue ones.
"That does worry me Lexa... i wont lie." Clarke sucked a deep breath in. " But what scares me the most... is if you break my heart ...again." She let out a silent sob as she tried to hold her pain in. She stood and walked to the small window looking out to the trees. She didn't want Lexa to see her cry
Nyx followed her with her eyes. Worried about her companion.
"Clarke.." Lexa moved closer to stand behind Clarke, placing her hands over her shoulders hesitantly. "I will not betray you and I will never break your heart again."
Clarke wanted to step beck and melt into her arms, but she fought the urge. "Lexa..you cant promise me that, your people come first." Clarke said as she shrugged Lexa off of her ant turned to face her.
Lexa stared at her with a fire in her eyes. "Your people are going to be my people."
"Hopefully." Clarke sniffled.
"They will see sense Clarke."
"There is more to life than just surviving and that's all i seem to have been doing. I'm tired of it."
"You will get your chance to live Clarke, i will do everything in my power to make it so."
Clarke knew Lexa meant it. The way she said it was with pure honesty. She always struggled to show emotions yet with her it was different. She was not the Commander with her, she was just Lexa.
"I'm not saying there is no chance of 'us' Lexa. But I need time. Maybe we could be friends for now?"
'Friends' Lexa thought. Her face dropped as her mind processed. It was far better than Clarke despising her but the thought of just being friends felt wrong. But it was a start in the right direction.
"Lexa, can we be friends?" Clarke repeated nervously as she wiped her tear stained face. Lexa snapped out of her trance and nodded at Clarke.
"Sha Clarke." Lexa whispered as she hung her head like a scolded child.
"Friends." The words tasted bitter on her had to fix this as soon as she could. She needed Clarke more than the realised.
