The Skaiprisa

Chapter 6

Lexa

"love isn't weakness" she says softly her eyes falling to the ground, I resist the urge to grab her hand to comfort her, I can feel my mask sliping so I stand and turn away from her pulling my self together as happy memories of Costia and I fill my memories, I push them all away and turn to Clarke once again, my emotions hid behind my sotic mask.

"we have be raised in very different world Clarke" I state and that normal life filled sparkle leaves her eyes, replaced by sadness.

"I must go it's late, Reshop Heda" I smile at her use of Trigedasleng, she's learning quickly.

"Goodnight Clarke" I say nodding my head and watching as she leave, not another word shared between us.

I don't know what it is about her that I'm so drawn to maybe her unusually kind nature, or the way her eyes light up when she see something new, her beautiful smile, everything about her seem so...

Intriguing.

With in no time, three more days pass and I've seen Clarke every single day, I watch today as she stood cuddling one of the horse, it was the first free day she's had since join Trikru, the other have been filled with training, which she is definitely getting better at. Even though Anya would never say it she impressed with how quickly the girl has picked it up as am I.
Indra is still set on killing her same as Gustus but she growing on Anya, she hasn't taught anyone since me.

"Heda"

"Heda?" I brought back to reality by Anya calling my name I snap my eyes away from Clarke and look to see that same concerned look on her face as she look at what or who I was starring at.

"Yes Anya, you was saying" I ask as her eyes land back on me, she gives me a small smile and then start to speak.

"we've been watching the camp close it seem the girl kept her promise and didn't tell the other about us 'Grounders'" we both scoff at the nickname Clarke used to describe us to her friend, I think her name was Raven?.

"good, Mochof (thank you) Anya" she stands at looks at me and then at Clarke and then back at me I know I'm about to get a lecture.

"we don't know we can trust her yet, Lexa don't go falling for the enemy" Anya warns I just clench my jaw and take take a deep breath before speaking, to make sure I'm not frustrated.

"I believe we can trust her and I'm not falling for her. Do not question me Anya" I snap and she simply bows her head and leaves.

I watch some more as Clarke interact with some of the children useing the small amount of Trigedasleng she knows and getting the young warriors to help when she doesn't know the words. A smile appeares on my face no matter how much I will it not to.

I walk out into the village to find Clarke sat laughing with the young warriors assigned to her, they seem to have grown quite close and Clarke seems more open with him.

The warriors eyes meet with mine and he greets me and I nod my head at him, me eyes met with blue pools that are Clarke's eyes and she smiles.

"Clarke, I'm going on a hunt today, I thought it would be good training for you" I wait for her to respond and I watch as, her already breath taking smile grows and her eyes widen slightly.

"seriously?" I can hear the excitement in her voice, she should really work on how much emetion she shows in her voice and expression.

"Yes Clarke, why wouldn't I be serious?" I ask confused and I'm guessing she noticed my confusion because chuckles slightly.

"I was just double checking, I'd love to come" I offer her a nod before walking away towards the warrior who is ready us two horses.

Clarke meets me at the gates of TonDc and her face lights up as she looks at the horse tacked up, I watch as she stroke the smaller horse with bright bay fur and a small white start on his head as well white marking on his back legs up to his fetlocks. She strokes his face softly and I'm in slight in awe as I watch the interaction, it reminds when a child meet a horse for the first time. I let a small smile cross my face briefly as I walk over to my big black horse with a bigger white star on his head and four white marks on his legs all stopping in different places on his legs.
I mount my horse and sit and watch as Clarke just look at the large animal very confused.
