What If She Didn't Die?

Change Part 4

Clarke had headed back to the yellow house, she was sitting under a tree that was near the house. She held the ring and looked at it with her knees to her chest. She listens as Lexa walks up but keeps thinking to herself what she could have done to save her mom.

"You okay?" Lexa asks sitting down next to Clarke. She could tell something was on her mind, she had that stare she gets when she's deep in thought. She looks down at Clarkes' hand, she looked at the ring.

"It was my mother's. I'm all that's left." she says the last part quietly.

Lexa frowns but reaches back to one of her pockets, she pulls out a small box with a skull on it and then opens it. Inside is the flame. "And this is all that's left of the past commanders." she leans on Clarke a little "All that is left is memories and stories."

"So much has changed." Clarke says after a short pause between the talking. She looks at Lexa. "so much has changed and a lot of it isn't good."

"But there are good things. We have Madi and each other." Lexa says with a faint smile. She leans her head on Clarkes a little. "But yeah. We lost a lot of stuff. And it's crazy how I was a commander, Heda." she chuckles a little and frowns "Yeah I miss it but now I know you, and now I have all of these friends and family."

Clake smiles a little and nods "Now we are going to get married." she smiles more "I'm glad I was sent down to earth, I did many things that I am not proud of but I met you."

Lexa smiles more and looks at Clarke, she kisses her letting it linger before pulling away. "We should bury them, not forget the past but start new."

Clarke nods a little and the two of them make a small hole. They put the flame in the box and then in the hole and place the ring on top of the small box before putting the dirt back over the two objects.

Lexa stands up and brushes her hands off and watches as Clarke does the same. Lexa holds out her hand for Clarke to take. She feels Clarke take it and then hold up their hands. She plants a small peck on Clarke's hand and then watches as Clarke does the same.

"Ai hod yu in" Clarke says smiling slightly.

Lexa pulls Clarke close to her by the waist with her free hand. "Ai hod yu in seintaim" She kisses Clarke and then pulls away and let's go. The two of them walk towards the house to get ready for the execution of Russell.

Clarke and Lexa get into their old armor, Lexa puets on Clarke's war paint and Clarke puts Lexas on. The two of them leave and walk into Russell's room. Lexa takes a step forward.

"How will you die?" she asks him with a straight face.

"People had begun to chant 'Death to Primes' as he replied. "Fire"
