I Need You

Wanheda

                 Clarke's POV:

The smell of fresh green pine trees reminded my thoughts to Lexa's forest green eyes. Those eyes could throw daggers but make you fall in love with just a glance. Wait, why am I thinking about Lexa? I hate her. Love is weakness. A snap of a dry twig below me pulled my thoughts out of a trance and back to reality. A panther! It looks so perfect, a long slender black body with dark green eyes, not like Lex-  Ignoring what my mind just tried to say I lunge from the branch I have been crouching on for at least 25 minutes. The panther is quicker than me and just moves out of the way from my dagger, as if offended by my attempt the panther swings a paw at my shoulder before I go tumbling back. Not realizing that I had been cut, the panther throws itself at me but this time my knife in front of me, meeting its chest.

Coming back to my senses and realizing, I just killed a panther! Clarke You Badass! Quickly shoving the panther off me, Understanding what it's like to physically feel dead. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my left shoulder, I touch were it aches and realize the panther had cut me. Instead of being pissed I give the panther reassuring words of comfort. "Yu Gonplei Ste Odon"

Instead of gloating in victory I decide to quickly make a stretcher out of branches, sticks, string, and cloth. Whilst making all of this I had allowed my agonizing thoughts back in.  I hate this feeling, hate, pain, envy. I can't even sleep without a nightmare about the mountain, Lexa leaving me and my people to be killed. Why do I even care if Lexa left me?  What's going to happen the next time I see her? I want to kill her! She betrayed me! But a part of me wants to wrap my arms around her strong proud body. Getting a headache from the hateful side of my mind arguing with my weak side, I decide it's time to leave. I got to go to Niylahs trading post. This panther wasn't that heavy to put on the stretcher so it wasn't that hard.

        Meanwhile In Polis:
        Lexa's POV:

The view from polis made me proud of uniting  all 12 clans. It was spectacular, but some part of me thinks it's not enough. Suddenly a flashback of Clarke came to mind. I should've fought with Clarke, but no, I took the weak way out. No! What I did was the right choice for my people, I can't afford to lose anymore of my people. I just want to hold Clarke, comfort her, make her feel safe, wanted, but after the events of Mount Weather she probably wants my head on a pike. I can't feel this, I must keep my people safe, love is weakness. Residing the words in my head, trying my hardest to fight off the guilt, I remember what Anya had told me. You will put your people in harms way if you even feel an ounce of love for someone. Love is weakness Lexa don't ever forget that. A sudden pain struck my mind reminding me that Anya's life was no longer in existence. "Heda"  the voice sounded familiar and pulled me away from my painful thoughts. Turning around, whilst burying my thoughts and putting the stone cold commander mask on, it was Indra.

From the gasps of air coming from Indra I had waited patiently for her to catch her breathe. "Heda, Azgeda has crossed the border."  My eyebrow had raised at this news, "Any Particular reason why they crossed?" Interest and a small bit of anger in my voice rasped out.
"Kane and I had been looking for Wanheda, when we heard chants in the distance, it was Azgeda, I had to get here before jumping to any conclusions"  Indra admitting in a way she did not know the intensions of Azgeda crossing the border. "We will discuss this when Prince Roan of Azgeda gets back with Clarke." Indra nodded in response ignoring why I had not called Clarke Wanheda.

I noticed a sudden scowl on Indra's face several minutes after she had arrived with the news. I had also noticed she was looking at me with a worried look in her eyes before the scowl took over. "You may speak your mind Indra" my voice a little irritated but curious. This took Indra by surprise that I had payed attention to her expressions, she had realized she did not hide them as well as she thought. "Heda, I fear that if Wanheda gets here she will stop at no cost to harm you."  My mouth twitched upwards resisting the urge to chuckle. "Do not worry Indra, I can handle myself." This time my voice tough, proud, and strong. Indra nodding at this response as if she wanted to hear it.
