Chapter 5

Lexa motioned for both women to sit at her table. Clarke could not make out the vibe she was getting from Lexa as she took her seat. Indra stood obediently by her commander.

"What is it that is so urgent Clarke?"

"We have heard from Bellamy. Tristan is alive and they are working together"

With that Clarke removed the recording device and pressed play, allowing both women to hear Bellamy's update from Mount Weather.

When the recording had finished, Clarke swore she saw Lexa looking smugly at a furious Indra.

"How do we know he is with Tristan? There is no word from him"

Indra spat at Clarke.

"Bellamy could not make something like this up Indra. It would make sense seeing as Tristan was last seen with Anya outside the drop ship, and we know Anya was in mount weather"

Indra grunted begrudgingly. She knew the blonde was right, although she never would admit it. Lexa spoke up.

"Thank you Clarke for sharing this with us."

"We are in alliance. I knew it was important for you to know as soon as possible"

Clarke rose from her seat to leave.

"Indra leave us"

Indra stalked out of the tent dejectedly. Clarke was confused why Lexa had asked her to leave. She had shared all the information she had and there was no reason Lexa would want her to stay. Lexa approached Clarke with a look in her eyes. Was it compassion? Clarke thought.

"Clarke, I appreciate you informing me as soon as you heard but what were you thinking traveling here alone at this time? You could have been killed!"

Lexa was angry at the girl for being so stupid. She continued.

"There is another 18 hours left before we would take any action. You could have waited for the briefing tomorrow to share this information. Why now? Why risk your life?"

Clarke was taken aback by Lexa's words. It was almost as if the warrior care about her. Clarke did not have an answer. She didn't know why she had been so rash to get the information to her. All she knew was she had wanted to see the warrior. She couldn't tell Lexa that. She blushed at the thought.

"I don't know. You seemed worried earlier. I didn't want your people to turn on you. I thought this would help."

Lexa did not miss the blush that crept up Clarkes cheeks. She brushed it off. Her face softened to the blonde. She could not lose her, and she would not allow her to do such stupid things. What was that look in Clarkes eyes? Was that love? Lexa shook off the ridiculous idea.

"I appreciate it Clarke, in future please do not be so stupid"

"I promise you I won't Lexa"

With that Clarke made her way to the door of the tent.

"What are you doing?"

Lexa quizzed. This confused Clarke.

"What do you mean?"

"What did I just say about traveling at this time being dangerous?"

Lexa enjoyed toying with the girl. Clarke looked at her puzzled.

"Well I do need to sleep Lexa"

The blonde joked to the warrior. She did not understand what the warrior was getting at. What else was she supposed to do? Unless Lexa was asking her to …

"You will stay here"

It wasn't so much a question but more of a statement that pulled Clarke from her thoughts. Clarke didn't know how to take this.

"What?"

"You'll stay here. There's a spare room with a bed through there."

Lexa motioned towards the corner of her tent that seemed to be another tent door.

"Oh Lexa … I couldn't …"

"It's not a request Clarke. You will stay the night. I will then have one of my generals escort you back to your camp in the morning".

Clarke was taken aback by the amount of care Lexa seemed to be showing for her. Not long ago Clarke was sure Lexa wouldn't have cared whether she died. Clarke had to ask.

"Why are you doing this?"

Lexa smiled at the blonde and slowly came closer to Clarke until she was gently pressed against her. Lexa leaned in closer. Clarkes breathe hitched. Lexa noticed, and smiled inwardly. The warrior simply whispered in the blonde's ear

"Because I need you too"

It was the softest Clarke had ever seen the brunette. She didn't see her as the warrior she so pertained herself to be, but a young woman just like her. And in that moment Clarke knew she saw love in the brunette's eyes.
