The Skaiprisa

Chapter 22

Lexa

Clarke seem like her old self she seem happier, her nightmares still continue but fiscally she's fine, her injury's have healed well and she able to move around on her own. We even went for a ride yesterday and it was amazing the smile on her face as we rode around the forest just out side of polis.

Titus had been a pain but Anya has kept him in his place, the other have returned to Ton Dc or Arkadia. Everything seem to be going smoothly.

I adjust my position watching as Clarke sleeps peacefully in my arm a small snore coming from her every now and then.

I watch her chest rise and fall as she breaths, she looks so much healthier now, she's eating probably and it really show. Tomorrow we're riding to Arkadia so Clarke can see her friends and family but we're also stoping at Ton Dc.

I want to take her somewhere, somewhere special to me I think she'll quite like it.

She suddenly start to stir and I know I should help her wake up but she so cute when she's asleep, I know it selfish but I just can't do it.
Placing a kiss in her head I listen to the sound of her breathing. The warm morning sun shining through the window.

The warm orange and blue fill the sky and it so beautiful, one of the most beautiful things I've seen, but nothings more beautiful then my SkaiPrisa.

It's getting late and I have training with the nightbloods and meeting to get to much to my demise. Gently pulling away from the beautiful blonde, I call her maid Flora Kom Trikru.

"Heda" the light brown haired girl with green eyes says, she nods her head to me before starting to walk towards the pile of clothes on the floor.

"Flora, I'm going to be busy today so is Anya. Could you stay with Clarke take her around the market if you must, but don't leave her alone, you are to be accompanied by Axton Clarke's person guard if you leave this room" the girl simply nods, she has spent many day with Clarke in the last two months but still I go over the list every time and tell her to keep Clarke safe. The young girl is the same age as Clarke and they seem to get on well, this is why I choose her to be Clarke's maid.

"Yes Heda, I will take great care of Clarke Kom Trikru" she says with a warm smile.

With that I walk back over to the bed and kiss Clarke's forehead lovingly and then leaving.

After hour of boring meetings the doors to my throne bust open and in walks and man being restrained by two guards, the restrained man is from the Shallow Valley clan. I know because I know him.

"Derek Kom Louwoda Klion Kru, why are you here" I say giving him my traditional sotic glare.

"Heda, I'm sorry to come with no notice, it's the Maunon they've attacked our village, killed our families, they took our younge Natbliada" now that caught my attention a young Natbliada in the hands of the Maunon is not good, they will torture the girl as they did to Clarke. I feel the anger rising up within me.

"Call for the arms of the twelve clans and request help from the SkaiKru we will get the Natbliada back" I command and everyone in the room have moved into position rushing out to prepare.

Pacing back and forth at my throne I see Anya still stood in the corner watching me.

"You need to tell her what going on, your going to war with the people who broke her. What will we say to her if your gone for weeks on end trying to win this battle like the last?" She stand now just in front of me and I know she right I should tell her.

However I don't want to be the reason for her to have another panic attack by informing her.

"I'll speak to her at once"I say and the older woman simply nods and places a hand on my shoulder.

"You protect her well Heda"her words seem to make me smile and believe in myself.

"Mochof" with that I leave and head back to my room.

Once I arrive I find it empty, no sigh of Clarke, Flora or her personal guard they must have gone to the market which is good fresh air before I tell her the truth.

After what feel like hours of furious pacing I hear the door open, I look up to see Clarke with a hand full of things that she must have gotten.

"Lexa" she smile up at me placing her things on the table and then walk over to where I stand at the foot of our bed. She quick to plant a soft soothing kiss to my lips.

"Your back early, Flora told me you was going to be in meetings all day and I knew you had late training with the night bloods" she say with a little fake pout which make me want to her so badly.

"I was supposed to be, but something has come up and I need to tell you something..." I can see the worry in her eyes as she pulls away from me.

"I never meant to lie to you Clarke you must understand that..." I take a step towards her but she steps back.

"Lexa your scaring me what's going on?" Her little worried face make my heart rate quicken, what if I make thing worse by tell her, what if she can't handle it.

"Uhhh" I can't mange to get my words out and that only seem to terrify her more. I take her hand in mine and squeeze it to resume not only her but myself.

"When we took down the mountain men a group of them escape in that group was Cage Wallace and a few his most trusted guards" I see the fear in her eyes and she instantly pulls way from me, the hurt and pain is obviously.

"You told me they were dead that no one could hurt me" her breathing starts to quicken and she gasps a little for air.

"Clarke, breath, they can't hurt you" I say.

Clarke voice breaks and a sob escapes her, before the mountain she was so fearless now the mention of a Maunon and she having a break down. I rush to her side and she falls into my arms and continue to cry.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you Clarke, I wanted to keep you safe" I whisper to her kissing her forehead

"Why are you bringing it up now then" she say pulling away from me, she looks pissed, as she wipes away her tears.

"They've taken a child a Natbliada girl" I say sadly, I can't meet her eye I feel so ashamed I couldn't protect this child I could protect her, how am I supposed to be a strong leader if I can't keep the woman I love safe.

"So you're going to get her back..." I meet her teary blue eyes as she takes a seat in the bed. "I want to come" she says wiping her tears with her sleeve, I instantly shake my head. 'I won't put her in danger again' is my first thought.

"You not ready Clarke your still healing, I won't put you in danger like that not again" she just huffs and I can tell she pissed off but there nothing she can say to make me change my mind.

"If I was anyone else you would let me come but because of your feeling for me you won't let me go" she suddenly snap, although it true I instantly get frustrated with her.

"Yes Clarke! I would but there not the woman I love. I won't risk your life again" I snap back, she stand from her sitting position on the bed and I can see the anger in her eyes. Her eyes hold so much emotion.

"Well maybe you shouldn't love me after all 'Hodnes laik kwelnes'" she say in Trigedasleng which breaks my heart. I instantly shake my head as a tear fall down my face.

"No... love is strength!" I say grabbing her arm as she try's to walk past me.

"Let me go Lexa"she says fighting against me, it's useless I'm stronger then her and she knows it, she glares at me with cold eyes, I can still see the glimpse of warm there.

"You can come" I say defeatedly, I don't want to fight her I don't want to lose her over something so petty. "Promise me you'll be safe" I say look at her now warm loving eyes.

"I promise" I place my hand on her cheek and pull her in for a gentle kiss her lips meet mine half ways.

Once I pull away I rest my forehead on hers and smile. My SkaiPrisa strong and determined.

"Let's get ready" I say pulling away and we start packing our things.
