So I thought I'd give you a quick update to whats going on and then tomorrows will be longer and better written when my eyes agree to play along and stay open :D Thank you all for your continued patience, please let me know what you think, what do you guys think is going to happen next? Love you guys xx
When Lexa opened her eyes, Clarke was sat in the same position, watching her intently.
"It's not polite to stare Clarke." Lexa whispered softly.
Clarke smiled at her, "I don't care, I plan to spend the rest of my life staring at how breathtakingly beautiful you are."
The corners of Lexa's lips quirked upwards for a moment before her eyes rested on Clarke's seriously, "Ron ai ridiyo op Clarke, am I dying?"
Clarke shook her head immediately, "No, you appear to have the same illness as the others but not everyone seems to be dying from it and my moms already on her way here with all the Skaikru medicine that she can carry that might help. You're going to be fine."
"Why are you not sick?" Lexa asked curiously.
Shrugging helplessly, Clarke just grinned jokingly, "Superior genes? It seems like Trikru are the main clan being affected. It might just be a bug your immune system hasn't had chance to build up a resistance to yet, and mom will just give you a shot and you'll be right as rain." Clarke said confidently, unsure of which of them she was actually trying to reassure.
"How is she?" Ontari asked worriedly, as Clarke walked out of Lexa's bedroom door.
Clarke quickly help up her hands to motion her back, "Trikru may be the main sufferers right now, but there are a higher population of them in Polis than any other clan anyway. You need to just stay clear of anyone who has been exposed to whatever this is until we get it figured out because you may very well not be immune."
Ontari backed up on her orders without question, eyeing Clarke suspiciously as she did, "How do you know that you aren't going to get sick Clarke?"
"I don't know how Lexa got it, but I spend basically all my time with her, if I was going to get it now I would think that I would've already. Plus, up in space we lived in very close quarters, when one person got sick so did everyone else. Skaikru have strong immune systems."
"I don't understand what that means." Ontari muttered, but she turned on her heel after a nod to Clarke and headed back to her room that had now been invaded by Raven and Cal, resolving to spend the rest of her day with them.
Clarke watched her as she walked away, before peering round the corner to see the guard that stood by the elevator, "When my mother arrives in the city have her brought straight here." She waited for the nod of confirmation and acceptance of the order before ducking back into their bedroom and swiftly crossing the room to the bed.
She could see Lexa's shoulders shaking as she shivered, so Clarke slipped into the bed beside her, pulling her close against her chest. As she held her close she sent up a quick prayer for Abby's swift arrival.
