The Skaiprisa

Chaper 23

Clarke

I can't help the sick feeling at the bottom of my stomach as we finalise all the details, with the help of the Shallow Valley Clan we now know where the mountain men hide and how to get there unseen by any of there men.

As I place my fur into my travel bag I feel pain coming from a few of my scars a memory responds probably, I tense and the sick feeling grows, I don't know if I can't fight these men again and I feel weak for thinking like that.

Lexa's already packed and is now informing everyone of the plan. I'm alone for the first time in months and I can feel the anxiety working up. I have to keep myself calm for everyone's sake I can't have these stupid panic attacks on the battle field.

Suddenly the urge to throw up takes over and I rush to the bathroom and empty the content of my stomach over and over again.
I don't even hear the door to the bathroom open so when Lexa cold hand suddenly land on my shoulder I freak pulling away only to go light headed and dizzy.

"Woah it me, Klarke are you alright" her voice is laced with concern and as I'm about to tell her I'm okay I vomit again.

Lexa hand presses against my forehead and I see the worry in her eyes, I know I'm probably fine and it's just me over thinking that got me in this state.
I rub my sleeve across my mouth and allow my body to slump against the wall.

"Clarke you have a fever, it pretty high you shouldn't travel with us today, what happens if you get worse on the way" she says and I reluctantly stand, though my head is spin and my vision is not as great I offer her a fake smile.

"I'm fine Lexa just a little nervous is all" I lie it was clearly more then nervous the hot and cold flush's my body has just gone through in the last however long I was throwing up. She give me the 'I don't not believe you' look but nods her head after all I'm the healer in this relationship.

"Fine but you stay by my side at all time when your not with me your with Anya or a guard understood" is she commanding me right now, I give her an almost disgusted look before noding my head I don't have the energy to fight her right now.

"Fine" I snap walking back into our room, my legs feel weak as if in any moment there'll give way from underneath me, but I ignore it an continue my walk down to the gates where the warriors and horses are.
Lexa close behind me, her being close definitely helps me feel less anxious. If only it stoped the vile feeling of wanting to throw up.

Axton is quick to help me on to Rosko the majestic bay gelding, in seconds Lexa has mounted Candles and is at my side. She look at me as if to say 'ready' and I simply nod as then we're off, a silence spread across the the group all twelve clans and Skaikru, Octavia's even here though she is no longer Skaikru she's a strong warrior in Trikru hence her fighting with us.

We been travelling for sometime and I can feel how weak my body is, my head is spinning and my stomach is turning. I'm so lost in thought I don't notice Lexa preying eyes until mine meet with hers she has a worried look on her face but I just smile at her, though my smile don't even fall me it weak and I can muster a really fake one.

Suddenly Lexa holts her horse and turn to everyone. Rosko luckily stoped for me I don't think I have the strength to stop him myself.

"We rest for a bit we're a days ride from where the Maunon are they do not know where coming take it easy for tonight tomorrow will be a long day" she says right before jumping of Candles and handing him to one of the warriors.

I swing my body around and try to climb of Rosko but my sick body just fall lucky Lexa catch me before I smash against the ground.

She looks at me with the 'I told you so eyes' but also with worry, I use her to balance myself and we make our way into our tent.

Instantly she walks me to the bed and lays me down, looking at me with her beautiful big green eyes filled with concern as she places her palm to my forehead.

"Clarke your fever has grown worse I don't believe this is all due to worry" she says softly, her hand brushing a few stray hair from my face.

"I...I" I can get my words out before a wave of nausea hits me and I throw up lucky Lexa already prepared with a buck and she grabs my hair pulling it out my face, I vomit violently for a few minutes before stoping my throat feels like acid has been poured down it and my eyes water.
Lexa hand me a glass of cold water which I use to swill my mouth out before take small sips.

"I insist you go back to polis, Anya and Axton can accompany you back as well as a small band of warriors for protection" Lexa say with pleading eyes as much as I want to go, as much as I want to fight I know I'm going to get myself or Lexa killed in this state. I sigh sadly at the thought of Leaving Lexa to fight the last of the Maunon alone with out me of course she has the 13 army's but that's not the same.

"I will go back to Polis" I say defeatedly and Lexa gives me a small warm smile.
"On one condition, Anya stays here you'll need her, Axton and a few Warriors will be enough to keep me safe" she just shakes her head up and down.

Lexa climbs in the bed next, wrapping her around me but still giving me room to move so I can puke again if needs be, with Lexa arm on my side I feel safer more relaxed and with in no time I drift of into sleep, a very unrest sleep.
