I know that this might seem a bit rushed but I could not wait any longer to finally write this. I hope you enjoy the turning point. :)
Clarke POV
"And then you just pushed him into the water? As if you did that!", Lexa asked surprised and laughed when Clarke nodded convincingly. "I swear, I did! I had no choice, otherwise he would have kissed me again, ugh." It was so wonderful to see Lexa smile and laugh again. And talking and laughing about her short relationship back in Sydney with this boy called Finn helped her to brighten up the whole atmosphere. Clarke joined Lexa's contagious laughter. "And what did he say next? I mean did he understand that…" – "…that I wasn't interested in dating him anymore? Probably. I mean I kinda felt sorry because he was really friendly and charming in the beginning. That's why I gave him a chance. Damn, he even called me princess." Oh god, Lexa probably thought that she was a crazy and hopeless-romantic girl now. "Princess?" Lexa raised her brows and suppressed an amused smile, before she pursed her lips, cleared her throat and got a very serious facial expression again.
"Princess Clarke Griffin… From this day on I shall be your knight… your…", she thought about it for a second and smiled at Clarke, "…your commander." Clarke did not know why, but it felt right to hear Lexa saying that. "I swear fealty to you, Clarke. I vow to treat your needs as my own and your people as my people." Something about these words made Clarke shiver for a second. She reached out for Lexa's hand and the moment their hands touched, everything changed.
"Thank you for staying."
"I stayed because it was the right thing for my people."
"Our people."
"If you betray me again…"
"I won't. … I swear fealty to you, Clarke kom skaikru. I vow to treat your needs as my own and your people as my people."
Clarke and Lexa POV
Clarke blinked and looked directly into Lexa's bright green eyes. Her mind was full of pictures. Memories, words and feelings she could not put into the right order. "What was that?", she asked more than confused, took a deep breath and closed her blue eyes, trying to calm herself down while Lexa released her hand and moved back, her gaze absent and somehow rushed. "Lexa? Did you see that? It was…" – "Us." The word Lexa formed with her lips was not more than a whisper but Clarke's heart immediately started to beat faster while Lexa lifted her gaze and looked back at Clarke again. The blonde girl was still confused, looked away and felt Lexa's gaze on her face. "What do you mean by that? Us? How…? What happened? Lexa…" –
"Shhh… I don't know how this happened or why. … I knew that there was something special about you. Something unique." Lexa reached out for Clarke, touched her face and her hair gently with her right hand while coming closer. "But… I remember you now, Clarke kom skaikru… I remember everything that happened."
"I never thought I'd see you again", Clarke whispered breathless, with tears in her eyes, laid her hand over Lexa's, that was still touching her cheek and swallowed to get rid of the lump in her throat. "My whole life I was searching for something. I was searching for somebody." Clarke closed her blue eyes, which finally released the tears.
"I told you I'd always be with you, Clarke." The smile on her lips reached the eyes now that she moved closer to Clarke and pulled her into a tight hug. "You told me maybe someday. And here we are. Ai laik yu gona. I'll always be", she whispered, breathing in the familiar scent of her long-lost soulmate.
Clarke eventually ended the hug and looked closely at Lexa's face, while her hands touched the other one's cheeks and hair, unbelievingly. She could feel her own heart beating synchronously with Lexa's again. "You're really here. You found me. Your fight was never over." Smiling under tears, Clarke moved forward again and bridged the small distance between them. She pressed her lips on Lexa's, at first carefully and then more passionate, placing one hand on Lexa's cheek again.
Raven POV
"Did anyone see Clarke? Her mum called 3 times now and I kinda have the feeling that Clarke should call her back as soon as possible or else she will be here in 5 minutes to pick her up or something." Octavia shook her head in response and all the others joined her, except Bellamy. "You sound like a mum yourself, Raven. Chill out. You've been walking from side to side for the last 10 minutes now. Just a small tip – that doesn't help to find out where Clarke is either." – "Shut up, Bell, your advise is no help, like always", Raven snapped and tore her hair, stressed.
"Clarke is with Lexa", Anya informed the others the minute she entered the room and sat down on the couch next to Harper. "She is?", Harper asked surprised and Anya nodded, followed by a bright smile from Harper. "Seems like Lexa finally found somebody to talk to, apart from you, Anya." Raven could not help but notice that Anya seemed to be a bit jealous while she listened to Harper's statement. "We should be lucky for her. It's been such a long time since I last saw her smile. Yesterday was the first time after months", Lincoln added with his dark and calm voice and put his arm around Octavia's shoulder. Harper pointed at Lincoln and nodded in agreement: "You definitely have a point there. She seemed to be so happy yesterday." – "Just because YOU didn't see her smile or laugh doesn't mean that she never did all that", Anya snarled, definitely jealous now. Raven bit her tongue and focused on Lexa's best friend. Her arms were folded and she glanced disapprovingly at the others as if she would fight everyone who would try to prove her wrong.
"No need to get mad at us, Anya", Raven floated her opinion and somehow challenged Anya with that. "Without you Reyes, Lexa wouldn't have been so upset yesterday", Anya snapped back and Raven felt the anger grow inside her belly while all the others watched their conversation with growing tension, unsure what to do to stop them.
"I was just fucking worried about Clarke, that's my DAMNED right!"
"And it is my DAMNED task to protect Lexa from every bad thought or feeling YOU put into her already broken heart!"
"YOU KNOW WHAT?! It was Lexa's fucking task to protect Costia from killing herself by driving drunk! AND SHE DIDN'T! I lost my sister! I lost EVERYTHING because of HER!"
Raven felt herself slowly bursting into tears while the faces of Bellamy, Octavia, Lincoln, Jasper, Harper and Monty were focused horrified on something behind her. Someone.
Clarke stood behind Raven's back and next to her – Lexa.
