From The Ashes We Will Rise

Life or Death pt1

Hey! We're back! Let's find out what happens to Alex!

POV Lexa

I don't know what it is but having Alex back is bringing back a lot of feelings and I can't even hide them if I try. I know I'm probably confusing her, I'm confused myself. I long to just be with her so I try to spend the nights with her. Ever since the night in my tent my body has ached to be near her again. Then we spend another night in her chambers, I was disappointed both times when I woke up and she wasn't there. I wondered how long she slept or if she did. All I know if I felt safe and loved in her arms and I have missed that feeling. Even when we were kids she made me feel that. Treating her like a prisoner kills me but it's to keep her safe. She doesn't understand that I can't lose her again, I won't lose her again. Today she was with the night bloods and I couldn't help but smile watching them together. Aiden really likes her and was asking me about her after training. I'm going to have to bring her another time, but Titus seems to have a problem with her. Then when she walked in for dinner, wow. She was stunning my eyes never left her. To the clothes she had on to her hair that was braided to different so Alex. I was confused when Anya ate her food but when she started to eat I couldn't help but smile. I continued the conversation I was having with Clarke and the other sky leaders but my eyes drifted over the Alex and I couldn't stop them. She seemed uncomfortable and out of place. When she said she was hurt again my heart hurt. Then Titus had to go and open his mouth. Let's just say I had words with him. After she left I went to her chambers but she wasn't there, so I slunk off to my own and fell asleep. The next morning I had meetings and when I got a break I went to see Alex. She told me about the Azgeda scout and I formed a meeting to talk about it. They agreed with me keeping her under my protection and away from Azgeda, but there reasoning broke my heart. They saw her as a weapon and she is so much more than that. I went back to her and lets just say her shirtless is amazing. She told me more startling news and I again went to talk to the ambassadors but not after making her agree to always be with someone. I know she hated it but it was for her safety. After I was exhausted and just wanted to crawl into bed, but I wanted Alex more and I told her I would come after. I changed and walked to her room but the door was opened and the room was a mess. I saw her jacket and weapons still here. Her shoes were on the ground so she didn't leave voluntarily. I walk out and run into Indra who tells me the guards I put on Alex were found dead. My heart races and I called a meeting changing back into my armor. I sent scouts but no one heard or saw anything. Octavia offered to look but before we could do anything Anya comes rushing in saying there was smoke coming from a few miles away. Trikru village. We got out army together and marched out. When we got there Azgeda warriors were here and we fought. We tried to get into the village as they were blocking our way. As we fought my eyes searched for Alex and I saw her on the ground as Azgeda warriors attacked her. She looked bad, blood everywhere but I couldn't tell who's. She was able to get them and fell. Anger rushes through me as I fought my way to her. The ear piercing scream made my heart stop as my head whipped towards Alex who was beating tackled, I stabbed the guy in front of me and ran to her. More Azgeda warriors got in my way and I saw her punching the guy who tackled her. When I was free she was on the ground coughing up blood making me run to her. I called her names touches her face but nothing. She closed her eyes and my heart stopped her breathing shallow. I screamed for help and Anya came over with a few Octavia later. Azgeda retreated and I put Alex on my horse getting behind her and ridding as fast as I could back to polis, Clarke was my only hope in keeping her alive. We got there not long later and Octavia, Anya and Indra helped me get her down and we rushed her into the healing tent Octavia going to get Clarke. The healer started to discard her shirt and clean the blood to see the damage. Clarke and Octavia came rushing in and Clarke went straight towards Alex. "What happened?" She asks trying to stop the bleeding. "She was taken and Azgeda was there we don't know" I say shakily. She nods and gets to work Octavia helping her when needed. Anya grabbed my hand giving my comfort as we watched helplessly. "Indra I want to know what happened" I say sternly, and she nods leaving the tent. "She will be ok Leksa. She is a fighter" Anya says quietly and all I can do is nod.
