The Forgotten Prince

Part 23

Theo's Pov

Slowly blinking my eyes open, I'm  releasing a small groan as I feel somebody snuggle herself more into me, and when I look down, I see Clarke practically wrapped around me.

"Wake up," I whisper, but it falls to deaf ears as she pushes her head further in the crook of my neck .

"Clarke," I whisper as I draw random patterns on her back, hearing a satisfied moan leave the girls lips. I chuckle at her.

"Come on, we need to work," I whisper, but she just ignores me.

"Let me sleep, Theo," Clarke groans out, and I roll my eyes at her.

Sitting up with the girl still practically wrapped around me, I start to poke her ribs, and soon, her eyes shoot open.

"Asshole," she mumbles, and i give her a small kiss on her cheek. Scooting closer to the opening of the rover with Clarke somehow still in my lap, I eventually step out, and the girl wraps her legs around  my abdomen .

"Aren't you a clingy one?" I say as I look down at her with a smirk . As she slaps my shoulder, I release a small chuckle and place her down. 

"How did you sleep ?" Clarke asks me, and well, for the first time in forever, I think I didn't have a nightmare.

"Considering you laying on top of me and laying on a metal floor ,  I actually slept good," I say as I stretch my body out.

Seeing her roll her eyes at me, I grab her hand and pull her flush against me. Seeing her look between my lips and eyes, I lean down and soflty peck her lips.

"Now eat and work," I state as I pull away from her and walk over to the small kind of tunnel I've started to make.

After some time of moving more ruble, I see Clarke walk over to me with some biscuits.

"Eat Theo," she says as she tries to hand me two, but I shake my head at her.

"It's for you. I'm fine, Clarke," I say with a small smile .

"You will eat Theo even if I have to shove it down your mouth." Clarke bites my way, and I can't stop the small laugh that left my lips at the words.

"Clarke, it's alright , my body can handle it." I say with a small smile, and a small frown makes its way on her face.

"How long?" She asks me, and confusion runs over my face, like what's she's on about .

"How long did she starve you?" Clarke more states then asks, and I release a deep sigh .

"If she made me train about 5 days maybe a little longer, without exercise almost 3,5 weeks." I say, and I see the girls eyes widen.

"My body is used to it, Clarke, so don't worry, you just eat." I say as I turn around and continue the job in front of me.

As I make my way down the small tunnel again, I start to move rubble away for what feels like hours on end.

As Clarke makes her way into the opening, her eyes fall on a rock, and she harsly starts smashing it against the ground .

"We're here," she yells at practically the top of her lungs . Seeing her do it again for a couple of times, she throws the rock away, and I pull her into me.

"It's alright," I whisper as she starts to cling around me. Rubbing her back, I placed a small kiss on her cheek before wiping away the small tear that left her eye.

Seeing her eyes widen , she looks beside me. I follow her line of sight, and that stupid thing somehow survived. 

As Clarke walks over to it, she grabs one of the large wooden sticks and pulls it out , but it is the wrong thing to do as I hear the tunnel start to collapse.
