Another Time, Another Place

Executions

Octavia, was true to her word, she did nothing to change her brother's fate, she also wasn't present now, at the execution. She had spent the last 2 days with him in her spare time.

Clarke watched from her throne, beside Lexa, as the prisoners, were bought out to face justice, the crowd screaming, blood must have blood. Clarke often took a more lenient approach to justice, but this time, for their crimes, even death by 100 cuts, did not seem enough punishment.

One by one, they were tied to posts, Bellamy and Pike, as the ones who committed the worst of the crimes, were tied last, they would watch everyone else die, before them.

Lexa stood and raised her arm for quiet, Clarke was always impressed and a little turned on, by how her love commanded a crowd. "Today, we are here to punish the rogue Skaikru prisoners, who attacked and massacred sleeping warriors. This won't bring back our family, but we will at least avenge them.

Lexa called out the name of the guards, who went with Pike and Bellamy, to attack the warriors and listed their crimes as mass genocide, against a peace keeping force. Their clothes and pants were torn and the cutting began, Lexa sat beside Clarke holding her hand, as people took their revenge. Lexa of course would finish them all, as Heda, Hedatu has the option to participate, but Clarke had decided she needs to show her people, she stands for all of them, not just Skaikru and she would take her cut on all of them.

The guards were responsible for the actions, they took, but the true evil was Pike, because the guards, as well as Bellamy, in this crime, just followed orders. Pike had devised the plan and lead everyone to battle, not allowing any mercy.

Bellamy, however had his own seperate crimes, to pay for. Clarke could not understand how he thought she was in love with him. It has been obvious to everyone, from the moment her and Lexa had meet, they had been in love. Even when they tried to deny it and when they tried to hide it, their intense love for each other was obvious. Clark had never made any romantic advances, towards Bellamy, had never felt in anyway inclined to. He was much older than she was and she just was not attracted to him. He was delusional, Clarke was so in love with Lexa, she knew even if she lost Lexa, she would never love anyone else.

It was time for Clarke to take her cuts and Lexa to finish them. Lexa offered her hand to Clarke and escorted her to the prisoners.

Clarke made her first cut,"I place my cut on your skin, to avenge my people's loss at your hand, your behaviour was atrocious, I hope you take the time to learn from this life, before contaminating the next, with your prejudice."

Clarke made the speech, at each prisoner, while giving the final cut, before her love, finished them.

When each was killed, Lexa stood on the platform, where their thrones had been placed and announced, "The next prisoner is Jaha, he is responsible for mind controlling people. He is sentenced to death by 100 cuts, please begin.

Clarke waited for the end, for her turn. Lexa escorted her to the prisoner. "This is in retaliation for the plague, of mind control you inflicted on our people. My wish is you spend an eternity contemplating your behaviour." Clarke made her cut and waited for Lexa.

Lexa escorted Clarke back to the throne, kissing her hand, before she moved on.

"The next prisoner is Bellamy Blake, he was part of the Massacare, he is also guilty of crimes against Hedatu, he kidnapped and drugged Hedatu, almost to the point of death." Lexa said.,

Clarke was surprised, she felt no sympathy, for Bellamy. In fact as she watched their warriors, making their cuts, some being rougher, than they had with the others, she was feeling like she was serving her people, the justice they needed.

Finally there time had come. Lexa escorted Clarke to in front of Bellamy, Clarke caught Lexa's hand, before she stepped away, and kissed her passionately, moaning her pleasure as Lexa's tongue explored her mouth. Lexa finally broke the kiss and stepped away.

Clarke addressed Bellamy, "Are you getting it yet? I love Lexa, I will always love Lexa, I will never love anyone but Lexa. How did you think I loved you? I have never remotely shown any romantic intention to you, it's always been Lexa, will always be Lexa." Clark yelled then paused letting it sink in, before cutting Bellamy, from his collarbone to his stomach. "This is for our people, you thought was a good idea to massacare, this is for my Lexa, who you wronged by taking me from her and this is for me, who you kidnapped, drugged and tried to force me to love you. You took me from the one person, I love with all my heart and soul and tried to make me love you. I will never love you. You disgust me." Clarke walked to the side and Lexa stepped forward.

"Clarke will always be mine, " Lexa said stabbing Bellamy in the heart, watching the life drain, from his eyes.

Lexa escorted Clarke to their thrones and held her tight, before letting her sit. Lexa took Clarke's hand and kissed her on the cheek whispering, "are you ok, my love?"

"I am fine, Lex," Clarke said squeezing Lexa's hand.

Lexa stood and raised her hand for silence, everyone was quick to comply. "Our last prisoner Charles Pike, planned the massacare on our people and lead the attack, he is the one who allowed no mercy. He will take his 100 cuts, I am also ok if you want to punch or kick him, once per person. Then at the end, I will decapitate him. His body, will be left in the forest, for the wild animals, to feast on. His soul, left trapped in this world, as the truely evil deserve. You may begin."

Lexa grabbed Clarke's hand and kissed it. "It will be over soon, my love and we can retire to our room."

Clarke bought Lexa's hand to her mouth and kissed it. "I am okay, love."

Finally it was Clarke's turn, Lexa escorted her in front of Pike. Clarke pulled out a second dagger and stepped forward. "This is for our people, who you cowardly decided to massacare, when they were sent there to protect you. You don't deserve death, you don't deserve peace, you don't deserve rest." Clarke stepped forward and drove her knee up hard between his leg, he doubled over in pain exposing his shoulder joints to Clarke, who drove a dagger into each shoulder joint and twisted it. "You are weak and cowardly, I hope you have an eternity of torture." Clarke moved the side, only now becoming aware of the cheers, of their warriors.

Lexa stepped forward, "stand him back up," she said. Two guards stepped forward and dragged pike to his feet.

Lexa bought her sword back and chopped his head off with one swing.

"Set the pyre for the prisoners and dispose of the trash." Lexa said pointing to Pike.

The pyre, was built quickly and the bodies added. Lexa lit the pyre, but did not give the warriors farewell. The prisoners, had dishonoured the warrior code, so didn't deserve it. Their duties done for the day, Lexa sent a runner ahead, to have a bath prepared for Clarke and herself and the armoury to clean their weapons and armour.

"It's time to go my love," Lexa said offering Clarke her hand, helping her to stand. Kissing her softly, she whispered, "are you ok, my love? It's ok not to be."

"I am fine, Lex, I promise, I love that you care so much. Let's just go to our room and cuddle." Clarke replied.

"Sounds like the perfect plan to me, my heart, " Lexa said kissing her gently.

When Clarke and Lexa got to their room , Lexa undressed Clarke and gently lowered her into the warm water, before stripping herself and telling the handmaiden to take their armour and weapons to the armoury, to be cleaned and send up their dinner in an hour, then she was dismissed for the night.

Lexa climbed in behind Clarke and gently cleaned her body and washed her hair. There was no sexual intent behind it, just pure love and care.

Once she felt Clarke was completely relaxed, Lexa quickly cleaned herself and got their bath robes, she put on her own before helping Clarke out of the bath and wrapping her in the bathrobe and carrying her to the bed.

They relaxed on the bed cuddling, in their bathrobes until dinner is bought to their room. They enjoy dinner and then take of their bathrobes, climb under the furs, where Lexa holds Clarke, all night, placing gentle kisses all over her face. Just providing the love and care Clarke needed.
