Clarke woke up the next morning with her head on Lexa's shoulder and her hands wrapped around Lexa's body. She didn't know what to do. She could get up and hope that she doesn't woke up Lexa but there was no chance of that happening because she was so intertwined with her or she could just keep lying in bed. The latter was definitely the better option. She couldn't remember the last time she slept as good as last night and without any nightmares.

So she cuddled into Lexa and closed her eyes. As she did that, she missed Lexa's smile. "So, you like cuddling, huh?"

Clarke's eyes shot open but she stayed in place. She should've known that Lexa was awake. She probably never slept. "Are you complaining?"

"Well, you could be naked..." Clarke looked at her in disbelief. "So, the big badass commander has a sense of humor, unbelievable." Clarke said sarcastically. They both laughed.

Clarke stopped laughing and got on top of Lexa so that she was straddling her. She looked into Lexa's eyes and then at her lips. Lexa stopped laughing as well and looked at Clarke with a raised eyebrow.

Slowly, Clarke leaned down and kissed her. Lexa put her right hand on the back of Clarke's neck and deepened the kiss.

They only separated because of the sound of someone clearing their throat. "Now I understand why no one was answering the door when I was knocking." Anya was grinning at them.

Clarke was blushing and trying to get off of Lexa. "Don't mind me, I'm just here to tell Lexa that there is a messenger waiting outside waiting for her. I'll just tell him to wait. You can continue to have fun." And with that Anya left.

Clarke finally untangled herself from Lexa. And saw that Lexa was grinning. "Stop. That wasn't funny." She laid next to Lexa and smiled.

"You didn't see your face." Clarke punched her in the arm.

"You should go speak to the messenger and I should to talk to Raven." Clarke started getting up from bed.

"You're going back to Camp Jaha?" Lexa got up from the bed as well.

"No, when I was leaving, Raven helped me and gave me a radio." Lexa was relieved. She didn't want Clarke to go.

"So, see you at dinner?" Lexa nodded.

Clarke smiled and kissed her on the lips.

Clarke sat in her room and switched the radio on. "Raven, are you there?"

"Clarke? You're alive!" Raven was happy to hear her friend.

"You thought that I can't survive even a day out of Camp Jaha?"

"I was trying to reach you but you never responded so I thought that you were dead. Instead of that, you were just ignoring me? Not cool, Griffin." Clarke chuckled, she really missed Raven.

"Well, I just wanted to say I'm safe and sound, so you don't have to worry. It looks like I'm late for that one though. How are things at Camp Jaha?"

"Pretty good. It looks like Bellamy found himself a girlfriend. Her name is Echo. He save her in the mountain and she was so happy that she decided to join us in camp. Talking about Bellamy, he and few others were looking for you for the last few weeks. Now everyone thinks you're dead." Raven was in gossip mode.

"I know. I was in TonDC when Bell and the others came there."

"You were in TonDC? They were saying that the Commander said you weren't there. Did she kept you as her prisoner? Is that why you never called?"

Clarke was sad that this was the first thing her friend thought of. Why did she think that Lexa would do something like that? "No! I asked Lexa to cover for me. I just really didn't want to be founded. Can you leave them to think that I'm dead? It's better for everyone." She hoped that Raven would understand or at least, not ask so many questions.

"Sure, princess. I feel special when it's just me and you. Where are you, anyway?" She was really curious.

Clarke didn't know if she should tell that to Raven. Not because she don't trust her, but because Raven wasn't a fan of the Grounders, especially Lexa.

"Thanks, Raven. I'm in Polis, that's the grounder's capitol. They have old buildings and even a market. It's pretty awesome."

"Sounds cool. How did you even get there?" Raven knew her friend wasn't saying everything.

There was silence for a moment, then Clarke took a deep breath. "Lexa took me here. It's her home. She asked me before the mountain if I would go here with her."

"You were planning this from the beginning!" Raven was pissed. Why didn't she tell her? Was Clarke afraid that she would have stop her?

"It wasn't my plan. I just needed to get away from camp and I wanted to talk with Lexa sooner or later. But she send one of her people to protect me and I decided to talk with her sooner. And then I decided I want to see more of the ground. And well, I ended up in her palace." Clarke smiled at the memory of when she first saw Polis.

Clarke wasn't expecting what came next. "Do you love her?"

"What?! I never said anything about love."

"Don't play stupid, Griffin. You spent all of your time in her tent planning in TonDC and after the mountain, you were like a zombie. And now? I can see you smiling through that radio when you talk about her." Clarke ran hand through her hair and sighed. Why did Raven have to be so smart?

"Look, I really care about her. And before you say something, I know that she is a Grounder and how you feel about them, but you don't know her like I know her. I know that sounds like a cliché, but it's true. Just trust me. I know what I'm doing, ok?"

"If you say so. I need to go. Someone's coming. Call me later." With that, Raven switched the radio off so Clarke didn't even need to bother about her response.

WEEKS LATER

Clarke was currently with Lexa in her room. It was more their room by now. She was here all the time anyway, so she slowly moved in all her stuff.

They've been dating for weeks and Clarke was happy again. It's been a long time since she had any nightmares. Lexa was training her in sword fighting and hand-to-hand combat. She also took over her trigedasleng lessons and started to teach her other slengs. Karliah was now Clarke's personal guard and everything was great.

"Clarke, I need to talk with you." When she heard Raven's voice, she picked up the radio.

"What is it, Raven?" Clarke started worrying something happened.

"Are O and Lincoln there with you?" Raven sounded desperate. Something bad probably happened.

Lexa took the radio and answered it instead of Clarke. "Lincoln cannot be in any of my villages. He is traitor to my people. He would be killed." She tried to understand how, thanks to that little box, they could communicate but she stopped trying weeks ago.

"Oh, you are there with the Commander. I hope I didn't interrupt anything."

"Raven! Why you asking about them?"

"They went hunting with Echo a few weeks ago and no one come back. Only yesterday, Bell found Echo but alone. She was saying that some people from TonDC attacked them and before she could do anything Lincoln and O were killed. She survived, just barely. Your mum said she was really lucky to be alive."

"I gave them orders to leave the Skaikru alone and not attacking you. They know it's better not to disobey my orders." Lexa knew that they didn't like some of her orders but they would obey them, no matter what.

"Well, it looks like they didn't listen to you this time, Commander."

Lexa was pissed, how dare Raven say something like that. Before she could say something, Clarke took the radio from her hands. "We don't need you to break this radio or fight with Raven." Lexa glared at her.

Clarke sighed and talked into the radio again. "I don't believe that anyone from TonDC would do that. They knew Lincoln and O. And according to what I saw, they liked them both."

"Echo has no reason to lie to us. Before she came plenty of people died because we weren't ready for winter, but she gave us furs and helped us."

"I don't know, Raven. It sounds weird. Did you saw their bodies?"

"Clarke, she wasn't dragging the bodies with her. She had problems standing by herself."

"Ok, Raven. If hear something, call me back again, please. Bye." Clarke really didn't want to argue.

"Bye. Griffin." Clarke switched off the radio.

"You believe her?!" Lexa was still mad at the accusation that her people would dare to disobey her.

"I don't. Our people would never do something like that especially when you told them not to." Lexa smiled to that.

"What?" Clarke was confused.

Lexa's smile grew wider. "Our people, huh? So you feel like one of us?" She got closer to Clarke, put her hands around her waist and started to kiss her neck.

"Are you really trying to seduce me after I just found out that two of my friends possible died?" Lexa retreated a little.

"Bad timing?" Clarke just nodded to that.

"And just so you know, I really do feel like one of your people." Lexa smiled and kissed her.

SOME TIME LATER, AFTER WINTER

During her time in Polis, Clarke mastered her trigedasleng. It really wasn't so hard. She could now fight Lexa's best warriors and win. On top of that, she was newly marked as one of Lexa's generals. Pretty much everyone in capitol knew about her relationship with Lexa.

Today in Polis, a big festival was going to start to celebrate the end of winter. People from all twelve clans would be celebrating here for the next week. All week long there would be fighting contests, where representatives from all villages would fight against one another. On the last day of celebration, two of the best fighters would fight for the title of best fighter and chance to be in the Commander's personal guard.

"I hope you both are fully dressed. There is only a certain amount of times I can walk in on you two naked and not going insane." Anya yelled from behind the door.

Lexa opened door. "What is it, Anya?"

"Indra is here and she have news about the Skaikru." That got Clarke's attention.

"What about the Skai…Octavia?" Clarke couldn't believe her own eyes. Next to Indra was standing Octavia, perfectly fine.

"Clarke?" Octavia smiled and hugged Clarke. "Everyone in Camp Jaha thinks you're dead."

Clarke smiled as well and hugged her back. "I can say the same about you. Where have you been?"

Indra interrupted their little reunion. "That can wait. We have bigger problems." Indra looked at Lexa. "The Skaikru have allied with the Azgeda, Heda."

My precious Anya is back, yay! :D

And kudos to my awesome beta mini .moogle5 once again =)
