Chapter 4

Lexa sat studying the maps in her tent. Indra was pointing out various different angles they could attack Mount Weather from.

"Commander if we strike from the North, south, east and west there is no way they can stop us! Our army is big enough for such an attack. Our warriors are trained and ready to fight, and with the sky people and their guns we will be unstoppable."

"What if we didn't have the sky people Indra?"

"We would still be unstoppable! Those mountain vermin will not stop us! And if we move at sunrise we can catch them off guard!"

"The mountain men are never caught off guard Indra. They see all"

It was a statement of fact on the commander's part. She knew the mountain men knew about their alliance with the sky people. These people were too powerful to attack in this manner. To much blood would be shed. Indra was growing frustrated. She would not see her commander lose her power at the hands of the sky people. This alliance was bad for her as a leader.

"We have to do something! You cannot let the sky people make all the decisions! You are our commander! You can't let your feelings for the sky person Clarke effect your judgement!"

Indra spat furiously. Lexa's head shot up with a venomous look in her eyes. She thought she had kept her feelings well hidden, but for Indra to speak to her like this. She would not be spoken to in such a manner by her general. Lexa rose from her seat glaring menacingly at Indra, her brown eyes smouldering with rage. Indra noticed and knew she had well over stepped her mark. She bowed her head and stood before her commander.

"Apologies commander, I have spoken out of turn."

"You have! You do not make the calls Indra I do! You obey me! Working with the sky people is our best chance at defeating the mountain men, they know more about them then we do. They have 18 hours left for their plan to take effect. If it doesn't then and only then will we attack. That is my final word"

Lexa glared at Indra. Indra conceded and bowed to her commander. As much as she did not like the sky people, she knew her commander would not put there people in harm's way.

"Understood commander"

They were interrupted by one of her generals entering the tent.

"Clarke of the sky people to see you commander. She says it is urgent."

Lexa almost frowned when she heard Clarke had come to see her at this time of night. What was the girl thinking? It was not safe for her to be traveling in the woods.

"She may enter"

Clarke entered the tent with urgency. She nodded to both Indra and Lexa.

"Indra you may leave us"

The scowl on Indra's face did not go unnoticed by Clarke.

"No, she needs to hear this too"

Lexa just stared at Clarke, she had never been defied like this. Had she not taken a liking to the sky princess, she may have beheaded her there and then for such treason.

"Very well. Sit"
