This is a short music chapter that I felt was needed separately for Lexa and Clarke
The song is demons by Imagine Dragons
Just Lexa and Clarke this chapter :)
Hope it's to everyone's liking
Disclaimer: Nope
"Clarke"
She looked up from the letter to see Lexa standing at the entrance of the tent. She smiled weakly and rose from the chair.
Lexa took her hands and smiled own at her, "I want to show you something"
Clarke nodded and followed Lexa out of their tent and she led the way into the woods. They didn't speak but Clarke allowed herself to be held and pulled further into the trees. She didn't ask where they were going but trusted that Lexa knew where she was heading.
Lexa took them to a clearing in the middle of the forest and Clarke's breathe hitched.
It was similar to what they had seen on their first night on Earth but this was so much more beautiful. Lexa let go of her and she walked into the space and spun around slowly. It was dark but the air was lit by the vibrant colours of the trees and flowers that littered the ground. The blue haze that melted into green mixed with the moonlight was so magical.
She faced Lexa again in wonder and found her eyes watching Clarke. The wonder that Clarke felt was plastered across Lexa's face but she wasn't looking at the trees, she was looking at Clarke.
Noticing her watching, Lexa stepped forward to join Clarke in the clearing.
She raised her hand up to Clarke's cheek and pulled her into a searing kiss, "I am so sorry for how I treated you"
"Lexa, it's okay"
She placed her forehead on Clarke's and lowered her hands to her waste so she was holding Clarke in a tight embrace, "No, It's not, you care about me and you were just trying to help. I treated you horribly and we promised to be honest with each other but now I have dishonoured you with that"
Clarke stayed silent sensing she wasn't finished, "I promise. I will tell you everything now so just ask and I will answer"
Clarke raised her arms to wrap around Lexa's neck but she kept one hand on her cheek so she could rub it with her thumb gently, "I just want to know what's happening up here" she whispered gently.
Lexa smiled and nodded, "I see them all Clarke… Everyone that burnt attacking your people, all 300 warriors, I see the people that died in TonDC and they weren't warriors. They were elders, children, families… I left Children without parents and parents without children… I left people without a home"
Clarke shook her head, "You didn't make that decision alone Lexa… We both did"
"I can't let you carry this Clarke" She jumped in before Clarke could cut her off, "You wanted to help, you were trying to help, but I did nothing and that is my burden… "
She nodded and waited for Lexa to continue, "I don't know what's real and what's not… When I fall asleep I see things, me, doing things that I don't remember doing and your mum says my memories were distorted by the reaper drug but- but I can't tell the difference Clarke. I don't remember what's real and what's not"
A stray tear escaped and Clarke wiped it away, "I am… I am real Lexa"
"You… I love you Clarke and I wish that was enough, I thought it was, but it hasn't stopped and I can't do it… I can't face them Clarke"
"You don't have to" she offered but Lexa shook her head as tears poured more easily.
"No I do… I have to face this Clarke. I have to face my people and what they went through, what I put them through, but I'm afraid"
Clarke faltered for a moment at the confession of fear from the commander and she thought for a moment that she would fall all over again, "I'm here Lexa, lean on me when you need to, I'm here"
She pulled Lexa into a wet kiss, she was no longer bothering to fight the tears, "Every time I fall asleep I'm forced to repeat everything again"
Clarke nodded and held Lexa just a little bit tighter, "Cage should have suffered more for what he's done to your people"
"Our people" Lexa smiled down at her weakly, "They're our people now Clarke"
She nodded, they really were.
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
Clarke started to sway slightly and the spot and Lexa followed her movements eager for a distraction.
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
Lexa tightened her hold wanting to feel like she could at least protect someone she cared about.
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
They both pulled back and met the other's gaze before locking into another kiss. Lexa leaned further into it and opened whatever was left of her heart to give to the sky girl.
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
They pushed against each other as the kiss became more intense and, with a reassuringly heated look from Lexa, Clarke lifted her shirt gently.
At the curtain's call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
They backed up to the nearest tree and Clarke begged for dominance whilst Lexa willingly gave it.
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Clarke was laying gently on Lexa who was panting heavily beneath her. It was an awkward position but she didn't care. She just leaned back into another kiss.
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Clarke sighed lightly and looked back up to the forest eyes that were watching her intently. Lexa's hand was at Clarke's waste and her thumb was rubbing reassuringly; Clarke tightened her hold around her and hummed gently against her skin.
"Clarke"
"mmm" She didn't open her eyes but stayed where she was.
"There is something else I must tell you"
Clarke hummed again without looking up and she felt Lexa take a deep breath beneath her.
"I'm going back to the mountain"
Now she looked up.
So yeah a bit different and a bit quick – Hope that was alright haha
