Our People (the Third Book of the Her Weakness series)

Chapter 9

Clarke's POV

"So are you two here for a reason?" I ask.

"Nope. We wanted to make sure the leaders are okay. The last time you two snuck off alone, the Commander was kidnapped and you had to lead a war." Octavia says.

"Besides, all of your guards are back at camp sending worried looks toward the gate every five minutes that you two haven't returned. They're busy so we decided to come." Raven smirks. "Too bad you two didn't."

"Maybe they would have if you didn't cheat." Octavia pokes Raven in the side.

They start bickering again and Lexa and I exchange an amused look. She takes my hand and we walk toward Octavia and Raven.

Raven sees us and grins. "You two might want to fix your hair before we go back. Lexa's braids are shockingly no longer perfectly pristine. And Princess, you have twigs. Everywhere. Nice job pushing her against the tree, by the way." Raven whistles. "Hot."

I let go of Lexa's hand and move behind her. I braid her hair. Once I'm finished, she plucks sticks from my hair. Lexa is wearing this smile that's only visible if you see the slight twitch of the corners of her mouth.

Octavia and Raven escort us back to camp.

Monty runs up. "Raven, Jasper and I need your help. We have to make so much alcohol and we need another pair of hands. Come on!"

He drags her away and I swear I hear her say "I'll help you if you make more soon that I can use to blow shit up." Knowing Raven, that probably is what she said. Hopefully not, though. This is a time of peace and I don't think the other clans will take to kindly if we randomly make things explode.

Maybe she'll just bring a flask or a gallon of it on our travels.

Octavia leaves, no doubt to find Lincoln either to practice fighting or to make out.

"Clarke. We should plan where we will travel."

That's something I haven't thought of... We walk to the room where the layout to the Mountain still is on the board.

I drew it on a piece of paper before so I know I can erase it without mom freaking out.

"Lexa, can you draw the clans? Or where you think we should go?"

"Of course. I will be sure to have a courier to send maps to the Sky People. But I can draw the borders as best I can for you."

Lexa starts drawing it from memory, and it's not bad at all.

"Here is Polis. It is the capital of the 12 nations." She points to a dot in Trigeda territory. "This is where the meeting will be. There is a wide selection of places we can go from there. It is up to you if you want to go to the different clans or stay on Trigeda land."

"We probably should go to the clans and show them the Sky People are their ally, not their enemy."

Just so you know, I finally posted the script thing based on a few chapters of Her Weakness :) Thanks for reading and stay awesome!!
