What If She Didn't Die?

Love Is Not Weakness

Raven had been trying to open the door to get out and get to Lexa, Made, and Clarke but was failing. Just as she was giving up Clarke came and opened the door and walks into the room that Russell was holding them in. She looks over at Raven with tears swelling in her eyes about to spill over.

"Where are Lexa and Madi?" Clarke asks as she looks around the room at everyone

Raven looks at her and stays quiet for a moment. "Russell took them." She finally tells her friend.

Clarke stands there and feels her heart drop when she hears those words. She lets out a sob and places a hand on her mouth as the tears begin to fall down her cheeks.

Niylah walks up to Clarke and frowns seeing her friend so distraught. "We will get them back." she says in a soft voice trying her best to soothe Clarke

"You don't understand Niylah! I killed his entire family and now he's going to kill mine!" She practically yells at him when she replies too distraught to manage her tone.

As Clarke says this Lexa and Madi are walked into the room. Russell was close behind and comes to Stand next to Lexa.

Madi had seen Clarke standing there and ran to her, hugging Clarke tightly. Clarke would hug back but not move her eyes from Lexa and Russell. What Clarke didn't know was that the two of them had woken up the sleeping army. They would begin to walk out and look at Lexa.

"You will all kneel if you wish to live." Lexa would state in a firm, cold, and demanding voice.

Clarke stood there for a moment and looked Lexa in the eyes letting go of Madi. She walks up in front of her and gets on her knees like Lexa had all those years ago, the words that she said playing in her mind. 'I swear Feality, Clarke Kom Skikru. I vow to treat your people as my own.' the words repeated over and over again in her mind. She only cried more hearing what seems to be Lexa speak letting her that she was strong but Clarke had turned her weak.

"Love made you weak." repeats in her mind now as Clarke pulls the gun from her waistband and holds it to the side of her head.

Gaia grabs Madi and holds her back as she tries to break free and get the gun from Clarke's hands.

Clarke stays on her knees looking at Lexa. "I know you're in there Lexa, I can't lose you. I've lost you once and those were some of the hardest years of my life but look at how far we have come, we have been through so much together. I already lost my mother today I can't lose you too." Clarke's voice breaks when she talks about her mom as tears begin coming down her face again.

Lexa only stares blankly at Clarke and has dark circles under her eyes. She says nothing and has no response to Clarke

"Please, Lexa! I'll pull the trigger and I know you can see me and hear me. You don't want me to but hell ill do it." she states then begins to count to three, before she gets to three Lexa breaks through and looks around at everyone then at Russell.

"Hon daun Russell en em hef!" she shouts loudly in Trig. The sleeping army grabs Russell by the arms and starts to drag him away to another room in the ship.

Clarke lowers the gun to her side and eventually drops it as she gets into a ball on the ground hugging her knees. She couldn't hold it back any longer and was letting it all go.

Lexa looks over at Clarke and rushes to her side, getting on her knees herself eventually getting on her butt and sitting down next to Clarke. She grabs Clarke and pulls her into a tight hug eventually feeling Clark's arms wrap around her torso. She looks down at her partner with a faint smile "Love is definitely not weakness."
