One way or another (Lesbian Story)

Chapter 14

Clarke POV

-Earth, present day-

Those words... 'I'll take care of the people who hurted you!' These words... They didn't seem like just a statement, they sounded like a promise. Oh and the little kiss on my forehead. That was it! That was the proof. She cares about me. Well, I hope I'm not reading the signs wrong...

But, wait... She said the people? The only person who hurted me was Emmerson, who else could she blame for this?

"Oh no... Alyson!" I hear someone scream outside. I can't recognize the voice right away but I get up the fastest I can, which made my blood rush to my head. "Please... Don't do this" This time, I knew who that was: my mom and she was almost beging.

I got up as fast as I could and I felt a piercing pain in my stomach that reminded me of the bullet Emmerson shot into my body. I can't think about that now! I got out of Lexa's tent to see a huge gathering of people. My people and Lexa's all together for the first time since Mount Weather. Well, I think this is the first time, I haven't exactly been around that much. I looked to the wood pole in the middle of the buildings and recognize it as the place where Gustus died. Are they doing the same thing to that person tied to the pole? A warrior starts walking in their direction with a knife on his hand and the sight of his eyes makes my heart stop for a second. I look at the person tied up and see that is is a girl in her underwear. Long brown hair with a braid falling down her back, strong shoulders and back. That's how I always imagined Lexa's back. My heart beat speeds up like crazy when that thought crossed my mind. But it stopped right away when I recognized the birth mark on her lower back. A perfect small circle and it looked like an arrow crossing it. I was obsessed with trying to draw that back in the Ark, but I never got the same shape. That's Alyson! Right when I realized that, the warrior start cutting the flesh on her stomach. Everything is quite and it seems like is cutting for hours. I froze for a second when he turned around and passed the bloody blade to someone else: Lexa. The Commander is always the last one, why would she go next? And why with a small blade? She's supposed to be the one killing the accused.

"I don't know who you are. But your crimes will be punished and your throat will be slowly cut open." The fire in her eyes was scaring me more than I've ever imagined it could. Alyson nodded and Lexa raised the blade.

"STOP!!" I scream as loud as I can. No one has seen me yet even though I right in their line of sight. So everyone is staring at me now as I walk towards Lexa and Alyson.

"Clarke, you shouldn't be up. I said I'd take care of-"

"I know what you said Commander. But you are making a mistake! This is Alyson, I met her back in the Ark and she was the one who saved my life, not the one who threatened it." I moved closer to Lexa and looked her straight in the eyes. Maybe that would be enough for me to prove my point.

"You were losing a lot of blood when we got there and she was the one holding a gun as you call it." The expression in her eyes completely changed. It was so soft now, and so was her voice. I looked around to see Emmerson in front of me. His hands were tied on his back, his nose was broken and so was his jaw, there were bruises all over his body and I'm pretty sure hhe had broken ribs. I almost felt sorry for him. Almost... "He's the one who shot against me. He was the one who gave the orders to the soldiers who kept all of our people inside that mountain. He's the one who should suffer." I heard some gasps from my people but I didn't care.

"Clarke, it's okay." I heard Alyson say. I turned around to see her for the first time and my heart ached almost too much to bear. There wasn't much skim left without bruises. She had it way worse than that piece of crap Emmerson. Why would she let this happen? I felt a single tear roll down my cheek.

"Oh, don't cry beautiful. It's fine. I wouldn't make a difference anyway. I'm too damaged." The only thing her eyes transmitted was defeat.

"You would make a difference. You'd make everything different for me, please..." I hugged so tight forgetting about her bruises and she winced in pain so I released the pressure. "I need you" And as I said that, she rested her head in my shoulder.

"You don't need me, you need her." Her voice was nothing more than a whisper and I felt my shirt get wet from her tears. She was hurting and there was so little I could do. She was talking about Lexa. And she was right, i need her. I completely lost my way when I thought she betrayed me. If it wasn't for Alyson I wouldn't know what truly happened... Oh wait, that's it!

"Clarke, you need to step back." Lexa said and I turned to her. She had pain in her eyes and when she realized I noticed, she put up her mask, again.

"No, thanks to her I know you didn't betray me. She was the one who showed me your note. It's thanks to her that I still belive in this alliance..." I got closer and whispered to her: "Still believe in us."

She stopped for a few seconds and the handed me the small knife. I turned around and cut the ropes that held Alyson's hands above her head. She fell on the floor when I finished and Lexa was the one helping me getting her to a small tent nerby.

"Take the prisoner back, I'll be right there." She commanded and I heard a comotion behind us. When we layed the girl I once loved on a bed, I looked at the girl I love now and thank her. She smiled at me. Ok, that's new!
My mom comes inside and starts taking care of Alyson who passed out on the way. I helped...
