Predator Gone Prey

Bear Trap

Clarke crept into the apartment as quietly as she could. After shutting the door she tip toed into the kitchen and saw the time on the stove; the numbers blinking a 6:38 am. She sighed. She hoped she got home before Lexa did. Last night had been a full moon, and ever since she and Lexa officially started dating ( ya know, after the whole Lexa finding out she was a werewolf then taking off for a better part of a year) Lexa had quite her wolf hunting team.

Well quit wasn't the right word. Lexa had reformed her 'hunting team.' After Clarke's capture, they rounded up a few more wolves, but this time instead of killing the rogue wolves, they helped them. Lexa's team got more of an insight of a wolf's life. The team became more educated and decided that the were done with killing. This didn't settle well for everyone, though. Nia, one of Lexa's top hunters, left the team along with a few of her followers. In all honesty, Lexa didn't mind. She had hated the woman dubbed "Ice Queen" and said a 'Good riddance' once she was gone.

Since Lexa had started bringing in wolves from around the area, Clarke had the chance to make new friends. Raven had disappeared once the group had let her go; giving Clarke a small growl before taking off. Since then Clarke had only had Lexa, and occasionally Lincoln, as a friend. (Though Lexa may not count because they were dating after all.) But just after two months, a pair of wolf siblings were brought into the base. The two wolves had caused trouble in a neighboring city and were brought in. At first they wouldn't speak to anyone, not trusting the reformed hunters. But then Clarke had come in and talked to them, calming them down.

With Clarke speaking to the, they had learned that the wolves were Bellamy and Octavia Blake. They were newly transformed wolf pups. (Clarke liked to call the newbie wolves 'pups.') After befriending them, Clarke helped them learn to control their transformations and hunger. The three of them became almost inseparable. Lexa was happy that Clarke had finally found another friend, she had known how lonely the blonde was. She never got upset with Clarke for it; she could only imagine what it was like to not have someone to talk to that was from the same species. The three wolves hung out a few times a week while Lexa would be away with work.

Which was where Clarke had been on her full moon run; hanging out with the Blake siblings. She bit her lip as she made it to the bedroom, wincing as she heard and smelt Lexa in the room already. Hopefully she was already asleep. If fate was on her side, she may not be able to avoid a lecture for another few hours.

Unfortunately, fate was not on her side this morning.

"Clarke." Lexa voice sounded from the bed, starling Clarke. The blonde banged her shin on the dresser by the door.

"Shit!" Clarke muttered a curse, grimacing slightly. "Uh, hey Lex." The brunette sat up in bed, turning on the lamp on the nightstand. Once turned on, the light illuminated Lexa's formed, showing her frown and unpleased expression.

"Why are you just now getting home?" Lexa asked calmly. Clarke gulped, she new whenever Lexa was 'calm' that she really wasn't.

"I..uh..okay so Bellamy and Octavia wanted to raid a sheep's field, but I said no we shouldn't. So then we went to the forest and found this herd of deer, so that was fun. But I guess bears were pretty common in that area so, I may have stepped in a bear trap-" CLarke rambled.

"A bear trap?!" Lexa exclaimed. "Clarke-"

"I'm fine, trust me." Clarke said, lifting her right leg up in the air, her hands holding it up. "See? No damage, I heal fast remember?" She hopped on one foot for balance, spinning in a small circle, until Lexa motioned for her to put the foot down.

"Clarke that's not the point." Lexa huffed.

"I know, I know. But that's not even where the trouble started." Clarke muttered.

"Trouble?" Lexa asked with a frown.

"Oh yeah, I was getting to that." Clarke said. "Okay so after Bell pride the bear trap off of my leg, we were waiting for it to heal, Octavia was shot at. Soon enough we were all being shot at. At first we thought it was you guys, I mean you bringing in new wolves and all. But soon found out it wasn't."

"Wait, what forest did you guys go to exactly?" Lexa asked.

"Oh you know, the one by uh..North Dakota..." Clarke mumbled sheepishly.

"Clarke!" Lexa exclaimed, then rubbed her forehead. "First off that is like four states away! Second, way beyond the Trikru territory. And you wondered if it was my team."

"Well we thought you might have followed me, but we were wrong." Clarke said, rubbing the back on her head. "It was a different group."

"Are you guys okay?" Lexa asked, looking her up and down.

"Oh, yeah. We are, we managed to escape unharmed." Clarke said, then yawned slightly. "But I am tired..."

"C'mere." Lexa sighed and scooted over, giving Clarke space to lie down. Clarke took her boots and jacket off, before shimming out of her pants. She then hopped into bed and snuggled up against Lexa. Lexa sighed, again, and wrapped her arms around the blonde.

"So..how was your night?" Clarke asked, resting her head on the brunette's chest.

"Not as eventful as yours. We got a wolf just as we were about to call it a night. We'll talk to him later today." Lexa said, running her hands through blonde hair.

"Mkay." Clarke mumbled before falling asleep.

Lexa watched her lover sleep for a few minutes, before she too fell asleep.
