The Skaiprisa

Chapter 41

Lexa

Running my fingers through Clarke long blond hair makes me smile, up to the point where her head injury is, there's still a huge lump on her head and when I accidentally brush my finger against it she winces and pulls away in pain. Only to be in more pain from the 'shrapnel' injuries. She good Abby says we're lucky it wasn't worse. The shrapnel alone was strong enough to wipe out many Azgada enemies.

Listening to her breathing is the most relaxing and recurring thing. It lets me know she's alive she's here, she made it. It calms me the even rhythm and calmness of it, I know she not scared anymore, but I don't want her to fear anything.

Sudden recollections of Costia hits and how we would lay around in bed and I would play with her hair. Her innocent smile looks up at with, she was so free of responsibilities.
I remember how we would bring unity to all the clans no more war. Now she the one who called for war.

"Lexa" the way she would say my name was so different, should always say it sexually. She bit her bottom lip and chuckle when I pulled her to me and kissed her.

"Lexa" suddenly I realise it's Clarke. I look down and smile at her and she looks up at me she looks worried.

"Hey," I say wrapping my arm around her and gently pulling her up so her head's by my head and no longer on my lap.

"You spaced out is everything ok?" she sound worried and I chuckle softly and kiss her. She smiles against my lips and I pull back.

"I'm okay, I just 'Zoned out' as you sky people call it" she chuckled again but then winced as the pain is too much.

"Okay, " she brings her lips to mine and kisses me softly gently and I can't help but smile she does to and we pull away when our teeth clang together. We start laughing.

"I love you" she grins and then kisses me again slower and softer but full of love.

"I love you too," she says against my lips and then pulls away. I wrap my arms protectively around her and she cuddle as close as fiscal possible.

After a few more long moment like that I decided I need to deal with Costia or should I say the Ice Queen. The thought make me shudder.

"I have to deal with Azgada, you stay here and recover. Okay" I kiss her softly and she chases my lips as I pull away.

"I wanna come" she whines with a pout, I can't help but laugh softly and smile at her.

"You have a dislocated shoulder and surgical wounds and a bandaged head, " she scrunches her nose up and its adorable. "Madi will be back soon, you can lay with her and rest" I emphasized 'rest' and she just crosses her arms over her chest like a child. "Please" I add kissing her lips softly, she kisses me back and I pull away.

"Fine" she says with a little pout. "I love you" she says as I pull away from the bed. I look back at her and smirk.

"I love you too princess" she scrunches her nose up at the nickname before cuddling back into the furs. I look over her one last time before leaving to deal with Costia.

In all honestly, I didn't want Clarke to come with me to deal with Costia, I don't want her anywhere near Clarke.

Striding into my throne room I feel all eyes turn to me, I take my seat and even rises to there feet after small discussions Costia is brought in.

"Leska" Costia voice is cold and heartless, she stairs straight at me.

"Costia kom Azgada, you stand trial for your crimes on the coalition. Attacking Trikru villages" she scoff and glares at me.

"I may have gone against you coalition, but this is because I attack your perfect little family. What does she go bye now?.." she pauses and then smirks "Wanheda" she spits out the new name for Clarke as if it was dirt.

"Your crime are for siding with the mountain men. You stood with them while they tortured our people. Not just Wanheda!" I snarl back. "The punishment for your crime is imprisonment in Flokru because blood must not have blood!" everyone erupts into small discussion.

Surprising the response was good they agreed with my decision and Costia is being held until Luna comes to collect her.

The meet was longer then I thought so it's late. Gently I open the door, I instantly see Clarke lead on my sofa, she cuddled up in a ball fast asleep.

My heart warms just seeing her, her blonde hair draped over her shoulder, the way her nose twitches as she dreams and how she balls her self up like a little baby.

Quietly I walk over and crouch down next to her, her beauty is something I never thought I deserved. Her kind heart and they was she love everything. How strong her heart is.

Gently I scoop her up in my arms and she stirs ever so slightly and she clings to me. Her arms wrapping around my neck and making a little groan noise.
I lay her down on the bed and take her clothes off so she's comfortable. I then strip myself and climb in next to her. Instantly she turns wrapping her arms around me. I love how cling she is in her sleep.

"I love you" she says in a sleepy voice. I love that raspy sleepy voice.

"I love you too" I say cuddling her back just before I doze back to sleep.
