As shocked as Clarke was she never showed it in her face "what are you doing here Lexa?" She said in a harsh voice "I came to see if you were alive" Lexa said while eyeing the bow "Are you going to shoot me or put it down?" Clarke lowered the bow and turned around to discover the deer was gone "Argh thanks for that" she said and starting walking in the direction of where the deers footprints went.

"Clarke can we talk?" Lexa said in a soft voice surprising herself and rolling her eyes at how that must have sounded to Clarke.
Clarke spun on her heels and walked straight over to Lexa and glared "We have nothing to talk about" she said in a harsh tone.
"You know I made the right decision, you would have made the same choice" Lexa said she was confused as to why Clarke couldn't understand this
"Yes I understand but the trust is broken and I don't see myself needing to talk to you ever again so please leave because you obviously don't care about me" she said
"You're wrong, it hurt me just as much as it hurt you to walk away from you but I didn't have a choice I had to take that deal" Lexa said she missed Clarke this Clarke didn't seem like her at all she was lacking the spark in her eye.
"I know" Clarke whispered her face going sad for a moment as she thought about the look on Lexa's face when she left her standing at the mountain. Clarke had been focusing on learning how to survive with Lincoln and Octavia she didn't even really think about anything else. She was staring at Lexa who just stood there with all this emotion on her face that Clarke has never seen before, it pulled at her heart and she felt herself smile a little at how Lexa came to find her without any guards. Lexa noticed Clarke's small smile and stepped forward reaching for Clarke's hand "I missed you" Lexa said as she ran her thumb over Clarke's hand gently. Clarke lowered her head and closed her eyes and when she reopened them she felt the tears start to run down her face she had not cried since she left the ark and now it seemed to be all pouring out. Lexa slowly pulled Clarke into a hug and Clarke was shocked but she couldn't help but wrap her arms around Lexa's waist and hold on. They stood like that for about 10 minutes till Clarke started to hyperventilate and pulled back from Lexa and turned around trying to calm herself with her back to Lexa but she seemed to be struggling. Lexa then came up behind her and wrapped her arms around Clarke's waist and pulled Clarke in "Listen to my breathing Clarke and match it" Lexa said as she started breathing loudly so Clarke could match it and calm down. When she finally calmed down she turned in Lexa's arms and looked her in the eye "Thank you" she said and Lexa just smiled. Clarke had not seen Lexa smile so sincere before she grabbed Lexa by the back of the neck and pulled her in for a deep slow kiss and Lexa did not expect it from Clarke as she put her hands around Clarke's waist and melted into the kiss, they were kissing slowly and deep when Lexa's emotions got the better of her and she backed Clarke up against a tree and paused to look at the other girl then pulled her in for a hard kiss and Clarke so lost in the moment moaned when Lexa starting kissing her neck and pulled Clarke up by the back of her thighs, Clarke then wrapped her legs around Lexa's hips. "Clarke!?" They heard Octavia scream out and Lexa snapped back into commander mode so fast she put Clarke down and stepped back tripping over a log and hurting her ankle. Octavia then came into view "What the hell Clarke did you attack her?" Octavia said in a shocked voice "What? No! She tripped over" Clarke said as she walked over to Lexa as Lexa was running her hand over her ankle as if to soothe the pain. "Looks like you sprained it" Clarke said as she helped Lexa up. "Octavia help me" she said. "No I can walk" Lexa said and started to take a step but quickly turned around grabbing onto Clarke's shoulder for support "Okay no I cant" she said and Octavia came over and they both helped her back to the clearing where Lincoln was getting the fire ready for cooking when he turned and saw the commander he froze "Heda" he said "Lincoln" she glared "Lexa has twisted her ankle I'm going to wrap it" Clarke spoke as she helped Lexa onto a log beside Clarke's tent. They all stay awkwardly while Clarke went about gathering her medical supplies and Lincoln looked as if he might run when Octavia spoke up "Is Lincoln in trouble or what?" "Octavia!" Lincoln said "Lincoln is no longer my concern" Lexa spoke in a harsh voice "here we go now I'm going to wrap your foot" Clarke said as she come back not noticing the tension and started to take off Lexa's boot "where is this food you were supposed to get" Octavia said "umm Lexa scared it away" Clarke said earning a glare from Lexa "ugh fine me and Lincoln will go get something" Octavia said as she got up with Lincoln to go into the forest.
" I thought you would never be so clumsy" Clarke said and laughed "shut up" Lexa said as Clarke finished wrapping up her foot. "So I guess you can stay in my tent tonight the swelling will definitely increase overnight and you should stay off your foot for a few days until it goes down" Clarke said "I have to go back, it isn't safe here for me" Lexa said "yes it is" Clarke said "You have me to protect you I'm a warrior now" Lexa laughed at that and then stopped when she noticed Clarke's straight face "I can fight better then Lincoln and Octavia" Lexa looked at her shocked and unbelieving "you don't like fighting?" Lexa said "why did you train?" "I wanted to be useful if something ever happened, I didn't want to rely on a gun" Clarke said "you will have to show me how well you fight sometime then" Lexa spoke Clarke then got up and opened her tent "I'm going to go to sleep I'm not really hungry anyway, are you coming?" Clarke said and Lexa got up and limped over to the tent getting inside and sitting down looking awkward. Clarke then started to peel her jacket off and was left in just a t shirt and skin tight shorts while she offered a shirt to Lexa who started to strip and was left in just the shirt and underwear and Clarke was finding it hard to not look at her so she zipped up the sent blocking the moonlight out and laid down she patted the spot next to her and Lexa laid down slowly looking tense but relaxed when she felt Clarke grab her hand and hold it. Clarke started to fall asleep when she felt Lexa who was asleep rolled onto her side and put her arm around Clarke's midsection and Clarke tensed before putting her arm around Lexa and drifting off to sleep.

Clarke jolted awake sitting upward so fast she elbowed Lexa right in the jaw causing her to also jolt awake hissing in pain
"I'm sorry" Clarke said "it's okay it was a nightmare yes?" Lexa said Clarke put her head down in shame "I thought they stopped" she said "They will come and go but might always remain Clarke hopefully they will not be a frequent occurrence every night" Lexa spoke sounding from experience which sparked Clarke's interest causing her to ask "You have them?" She out her hand on Lexa's jaw running her hand over it as a silent apology "Not all the time like they used to be" Lexa said "What were they?" She blurted without thinking "Sorry you don't have to answer that" "I would dream memory's which was the most maddening thing I've ever experienced I dreamt of the time of when the Ice queen sent Costia's head and how I replayed the dream over and over I eventually did not sleep until exhaustion took me instead that was the worst dream" she said softly "I'm sorry" Clarke said and reached for her hand as she laid back down pulling Lexa with her who rested beside her. They laid silently again until Clarke fell asleep and Lexa slowly got out of the tent and sat on the log when Lincoln who was also awake just got back from gathering more fire wood. "Clarke said you trained her as a warrior" Lexa spoke but it wasn't harsh it was thankful "yes Heda she is one of the most skilled and smart warriors I have seen in my lifetime" Lincoln spoke with a proud smile "You can live with the sky people Lincoln you have not anything to fear from the trikru" Lexa spoke shocking Lincoln "Thank you Heda" he said.

When Clarke came out of the tent Octavia, Lincoln and Lexa were all eating and Lexa passed a plate to Clarke who smiled thanks and sat down on the log beside her. "I'm going back to the ark Clarke to tell the Commanders guards she is here and will remain here until she can walk and to tell them Lincoln and I are coming back when Heda does" Octavia spoke causing Clarke to look up at Lincoln then at Lexa who remained unbothered by the conversation "He's allowed to go back?" Clarke spoke "Yes" Lexa spoke causing Clarke to smile wide like she used too.

"What are you going to do Clarke when we all return?" Lexa spoke as Clarke was checking her swollen foot.
Clarke paused and frowned "I don't know" she spoke "I haven't been to the ark since mount weather and seeing all of them will just make me feel like I did when I left I don't think I can go back" "Come with me too tondc? It is built again but it is not finished when it is done I shall go to polis and I would like for you to join me" Lexa spoke "I don't know Lexa I'll think about it"

When Octavia came back she was with two of Lexa's guards and they had horses for all of them. Confused Lexa said "Why have you come Samuel?" She spoke looking at the man who sat atop the horse in the front "Heda you must come back the clans are requesting your presence for a coalition meeting" he spoke "Very well" she spoke as she turned and entered the tent to Clarke who was looking at her and asked "Clarke are you coming?" She spoke "Why are the clans requesting you?" She said Lexa frowned "They are having trouble accepting the sky people as the 13th clan" she said and this seemed to spark Clarke's interest as she got up and started packing her things "You're coming?" Lexa said "Yes I want to be their for the meeting" Clarke said as she shoved everything into her bag but paused "I can come to the meeting right?" Looking at Lexa with worry "Yes Clarke Bellamy has been representing you but if you come back he is no longer needed"

When they got closer to camp Lexa noticed Clarke's demeanour change she got a hard look in her eyes and Lexa wondered if this is how she looked around her people.
Clarke was the first to enter the gate and when she did Abby came running to her "Clarke it's good to have you home" she said as she pulled Clarke into a hug and Clarke hugged her back and smiled while Lexa was watching her she smiled like Clarke used too "Good to see you mum"
Clarke said

After seeing everyone Clarke went to look for Raven, Clarke did miss raven she was a good friend "Well well well looks who's back" Raven said as she came around the corner of the hall Clarke smiled and pulled her in for a hug "How are you raven? I've missed you" she said "I'm good, thanks to you" she didn't miss the look of sadness flash through Clarke's face "Clarke it's okay to feel the way you do but don't forget we are all here to help you in anyway you can everyone who had a part myself included has felt the way you do" she said Clarke always felt better talking to Raven she didn't know why but it helped "Thank you raven"

Clarke was sitting in her once upon a time cell in the ark and was laying on the floor like she used to looking up at the roof when their was a knock on the door Bellamy came in and laid down beside her "Hey bell" she said "Hey Clarke good to see you back" he said "Thanks bell i hear you have been to a few of the coalition meetings what was it like?" She said "Intense most of the clans listen to Heda but their is a few that push their luck" he said she looked at him confused "Ice nation?" "Yeah the leader is a bitch she keeps suggesting that the sky crew are useless but we have actually been learning a lot on survival thanks to the commander" he said "So why do they want another meeting?" She said "They're trying to push the commander into a vote on allowing the sky crew entry to the coalition the ice nation have already gotten two of the other clans to change their mind about us the commander doesn't seem worried but she doesn't really seem a lot of anything" he said "Will you still come to the meeting as my second?" Clarke said "Yeah Clarke of course" he said smiling "I'll come get you when it's time to head to polis"

When Clarke left the ark to look for Lexa she spotted her and Indra talking beside the wall of her tent and it looked serious, using her training of sneaking around she walked around the back of the tent and listen to what was being said "Heda you must consider this is you wish to overthrow the ice queens plan" "I know it is something to consider Indra but Clarke wouldn't go for it and neither would the rest of the sky crew people" "Heda I know it means something to our people but it would just be to ensure the Allegiance is set in law to the sky people" "Indra we will not discuss this further" "Yes Heda"

Clarke was curious as to what they were talking about but she knew shouldn't couldn't ask Lexa, Indra would just ignore her so she decided to go find Lincoln.

"Are you sure that's what they said Clarke?" Lincoln said with a perplexed look on his face "Word for word Lincoln what does it mean?" She said hating the suspense "It sounds as if Indra was telling Heda to ask you to bond with her" he said still looking puzzled "It makes sense considering what the ice queen is trying to do" he said "What is bonding?" She asked not really liking the sound of it "It is what you would call a marriage Clark" he said looking at her waiting for her reaction Clarke looked baffled "I don't understand what marriage would have to do with the coalition" she said "The bonded one of the Heda is to never be harmed you would become Heda's second in terms of ruling but would be protected even more then Heda herself so you would have guaranteed safety of your people it is actually really smart of Indra" "What?! You think I should get married to someone just for that?" She asked looking angry at him then calmed down immediately releasing he was right but she couldn't help but feel hurt was Lexa playing her? Did she really have feelings she claimed she did? "Thank you Lincoln" she said as she walked off

They were on their way to polis it was a 3 day ride with the horses Clarke was lost in thought when Bellamy asked if she was okay they started talking about what had been happening when Clarke left. Lexa was observing Clarke and wondered why the girl had not spoken to her since they got back to the ark. She felt anger bubble up inside her and wanted to kick Bellamy right off his horse, she was picturing ways the hurt him when a warrior spoke up "Heda?" "What?" She glared causing a confused look at her random outburst from Clark. "We should set up a camp for tonight before it gets dark Heda" he spoke "Yes we will stop now and set up i will start a fire and gather wood, you, Kai and Indra will go hunt for our meal and take Bellamy to teach him" but she really just wanted to get rid of Bellamy for a few hours.
They started with their jobs when Clark appeared "I will gather the wood you rest your ankle" she said "I am fine Clarke" Lexa spoke harsh "No you're going to injure it further so sit down!" Clarke growled out Lexa was shocked at Clarke speaking to her like this "Be aware who you are talking too" she said as Clarke walked off to get the wood. Lexa decided to set up her tent and Clarke came back and rolled her eyes seeing the tent set up. Clarke could tell Lexa was bothered by her ignoring her and Clarke felt a bit of satisfaction at being able to bother Lexa so easily. She still was unsure if Lexa was actually considering this bonding idea.

"Is something bothering you?" Clarke said as she grabbed an ankle brace for Lexa that she got from her mother. "No" Lexa said unbothered that's where making Lexa jealous backfired because now Lexa locked up all her emotions "Lexa I need to put this on your foot" she said as she walked over to Lexa and showed her the ankle brace "It's a brace it will provide support for your ankle when you're walking on it because no doubt you will" she said ask Lexa took off her boot and Clarke put it on her foot when Clarke was done she looked into Lexa's cold eyes and spoke softly "Talk to me" Lexa looked up and then looked back at her ankle avoiding eye contact "I was upset that you have been ignoring me" she spoke in a calm voice "I know, I was being childish I overheard you with Indra talking about a bonding ceremony" she said Lexa looked at her shocked that she knew what a bonding was "I was not considering this I will find another way Clarke" she said and Clarke looked relieved for a moment then she said "Sorry for ignoring you" and Lexa squeezed her hand "Clarke I would never bond with another with no feelings involved" Lexa said "I care deeply for you Clarke" Clarke looked at Lexa and seen nothing but sincerity in her eye Lexa looked down at Clarke's lips then back up and started to lean in when Clarke pulled back and cleared her throat she seen hurt flash through her eyes and Lexa said "You can trust me Clarke I will not betray you again" and Clarke looked down "It will take time Lexa" Clarke said and brushed her fingers over Lexa's jaw and then stood up and started to put her belongings in her tent. When the others arrived they started to clean the meat and started setting up their own tents, Samuel started cooking the meat and was surprised by Clarke's skills in cleaning the meat he was telling Clarke how Bellamy kept scaring off the animals they came across so they had to make him walk behind them. When it was sundown and Indra got up to go keep watch, Lexa sat at the fire staring into it and Clarke was at the fire too while everyone else was asleep she decided to get up and go into her tent and attempt to get some sleep "Goodnight Lexa" she said "Sleep well" Lexa responded but didn't move.

Lexa sat at the fire for at least another 1 hour before she decided to get some sleep as she was walking into her tent she walked passed Clarke's and heard Clarke breathing harshly and immediately knew she was having a nightmare she wondered if she should just leave her but she couldn't stand the thought of Clarke having a nightmare when she can go and stop it so she quietly entered Clarke's tent and immediately noticed her thrashing around so Lexa got changed into her night clothes and laid down next to Clarke she pulled the girl into her and Clarke immediately woke up with tears in her eyes and wrapped her arm around Lexa holding tight. Neither of them spoke and Lexa was running her fingers through Clarke's hair to soothe the other girl as she drifted off to sleep again followed by Lexa.
When Clarke woke it was morning and Lexa was still asleep with her fingers still in Clarke's hair, Clarke was looking at Lexa's face she looked at peaceful and beautiful Clarke couldn't help but run her fingers over Lexa's jawline causing Lexa to stir but didn't open her eyes she could tell Lexa was awake now because the other girl smiled softly "Thank you for lastnight Lexa you didn't have to do that" Clarke whispered and Lexa opened her eyes and looked at Clarke "Yes I did" Lexa spoke "I couldn't stand to know you were hurting" Clarke loved Lexa like this when she was so open with her emotions that Clarke couldn't control her own and was so drawn to Lexa.

Clarke leaned forward and captured Lexa's lips in a passionate kiss, Lexa opened her mouth and Clarke slipped her tongue inside and they battled for dominance and Clarke was getting an ache in between her legs and broke the kiss to straddle Lexa and Lexa got a smirk on her face and Clarke crushed her lips back into Lexa's slipping her tongue into her mouth and Clarke moaned causing Lexa to flip them over and Lexa started kissing down Clarke's neck while Clarke slipped her hands under Lexa's shirt on her waist and Lexa pulled back when she heard foot steps of who she knew was Indra coming back from watch she looked down at Clarke who was breathing heavy and was very aroused looking disappointed until she heard Indra also. Lexa slipped off Clarke and said "Probably for the better" she said and Clarke nodded understanding now was not the right time "We should get prepared for today's ride" Lexa said then quickly pecked Clarke on the lips before getting dressed and heading out of the tent. Clarke laid their for a moment trying to get her libido under control she has not felt like this in a while, right now she felt happy and couldn't help but smile to herself as Lexa had a part in that.
