Death is not the end

08. Clarke

Lexa's POV

I have a commanders meeting in about an hour and then I will have to travel back to Ton DC for another meeting.

Becca wants to discuss something important not to mention that I have to bring up the fact that something fell down from a star. I don't know how true it is but I have given my people orders not to kill and to observe over them and only make contact only when they really needed to.

The past week has been had for me though I wouldn't let anyone know it. I am still getting used to what actually happened and that Clarke might... Clarke is not alive anymore.

Becca explained that whenever the commonders had died that they weren't burned like they were supposed to. The flamekepas (flamekeepers) put them in this thing that she called a sleeping pod that healed them and that we have been sleeping for more than ten thousand years. It wasn't only the commonders that they would put in these pods anybody loyal to the commonders would be placed in the pods too.

"Heda the commonders await you" my guard came in and then left right after.

I headed to the meeting room to discuss the recent events when I noticed Gustus standing infront of the door

"Gustus what are you doing here aren't you supposed to be..."

"Heda...." he cut me off and I noticed the panic in his eyes "we were wrong. People came down with a thing, almost similar to when..."

I imidately focus " how many"

"Five only"

I look at another guard standing at the door and order him to cancel the meeting and then told Gustus to ready horses. I knew that Clarke wouldn't of survived all those years and some part of me had hoped she did. I did realise however that she might of moved on, I wouldn't be mad because all I wanted was for her to be happy and had hoped that one day someone would do that.

We head to Ton DC. It's about a 2 days ride while on the ride I couldn't help but let my mind wonder. I thought of all the possibilitys coming out from this all the memories were flashing back to when I was commonder of the twelve clans all that years ago and then came the part when I remembered everything after my rule, I remembered Madi and her relationship with Clarke and all that happened.

My mind drifted to when I assumed Bellamy and Clarke where a thing and it hit me. Clarke might of fell for Bellamy and they might of...

"Heda would you like to stop and set up camp or would..." Gustus said riding up next to me "We can make it to Ton DC but we will arrive at night."

I needed to get to Ton DC as soon as possible but I wasn't going to do that by tiring out my warriors " Set up camp" I said pulling my horse over and dismounting it.

After they were done setting up my tent everyone went to set up there tents.

I sat down at the table in my tent ate and went to sleep I had a feeling tomorrow was going to be hectic.

I woke up to horse shoses and someone screaming heda. Gustus came practically running into my tent to wake me.

"Gustus" I said covering myself with the furs

"Sorry to disturbed Heda but one of our ton DC warriors came to find us to say that they have caught them."

"Caught them" I said getting up forgetting that I am in practically underwear and didn't have any clothes on. Gustus drifted his eyes away from me and I looked down.

"Ready then horses and pack up camp" I tryed to remain calm. I told them not to make contact to observe they wouldn't unless...unless they attacked.

We hopped on our horses and were off. I applied my warpaint before we left and put my commonder face on.

All the thought and fears became more and more overwhelming as I could see Ton DC become closer and closer.

A thought that popped in my head was what if it is Bellamy and Clarke's kids kid or something. I pre-pared myself for the worst.

And yet some part of me hoped that Clarke survived when realisation hit me that it was impossible. All that hope was crushed and it felt as someone was stabbing me over and over again in my chest.

This was more than just being sad over the loss of someone because I have lost a lot of people and nun of them felt like this. This felt like someone ripped my heart out and tore it into pieces and put it back.

We came to the gates of Ton DC and I could already hear the people shouting "Heda, Heda, Heda"

I followed Gustus to the tent at the back of ton DC and claimed off my horse.

"Heda they are trying to escape" a guard came running out.

I gave a glance at the guards standing in front of the tent for them to get the people we couldn't just let them go when I heard a familiar voice. I thought I must of been hearing things, I thought I was so despite to hear this voice that I started to imagine it but I had to be sure, I had to know.

I followed the guards into the tent and they were scattered around the tent but my eyes fell on one particular blonde that stood at the back of the tent with her back towards me. It took a small while until she turned around and as soon as I saw her my heart dropped.

"Lexa" her voice cracked. I couldnt believe my eyes was just dreaming.
