Lexa Pov:

You and Clarke are approaching a group of horses you're assuming are for your travel after quickly packing what you needed. Standing around a table and a map are Indra, Marcus and three warriors which Indra must have organised to be your guards.

" Is everybody ready? " You ask, stepping up to the map and surveying the route we will be taking.

" Sha Heda " The warriors murmur, each moving away afterwards and jumping onto their horses, ready to leave at a moments notice. They all wait patiently but you can see in their eyes how eager they are to leave, knowing well the dangers of travelling this route at night.

" Heda " Indra says moving to your side " due to your injuries Nyko advised me you shouldn't be riding on your own so I arranged for you to share with Clarke, I didn't think you'd mind..".

" Clarke? " You ask, knowing fully that she has been listening in on the conversation. You are quite sure she will be okay with it, but want to ask her just to make sure.

" I agree with Nyko " She says quickly, looking embarrassed to have been caught eves dropping. She clears her throat and adds" You shouldn't ride on your own. I certainly don't mind ". With that she meets your eyes and turns away, trying to hide the smile on her face from Indra.

You wait until Clarke is our of earshot, not wanting to worry her with the dangers of travelling to Polis, let alone travelling at night. In just a few moments she is too busy petting the horse to pay attention to your words. " Have there been any recent signs of assassins on the roads to Polis? ".

" Not for a week Heda " Indra says in a hushed tone " I think we will be okay, but for precaution I have three of my best warriors as our guards, and we have me " she adds with a cocky grin.

" All hope is lost " you joke, nodding your head and making your way back to Clarke. She is talking to the horse in a hushed mumble so you can't understand what she is saying, but whatever it is it definitely seems to be calming the creature. You place your hand over hers where it is sitting on the animals mane to let her know that you are there.

" What were you talking to Indra about? " She asks in a relaxed tone, her eyes not moving from the horse?

" Oh nothing, just asking about the route we will be taking. Are you ready to leave? " You ask moving you hand from hers to double check the saddle and attach your belongings.

" Yeah, here let me help you up " She offers. You're about to tell her that your fine when you turn your head and find your self face to face with her, realising she wont take no for an answer.

" Thank you " You say quietly as she jumps onto the horse and extends an arm down to pull you up.

" To Polis?" She asks. You can hear the excitement in her voice and you have to admit, your excited too. You can't wait to show her around the streets of Polis, show her where you spent a large part of your childhood. Now that you think about it there is a lot you want to show her, so many people you want to introduce her to, Aden and the other night bloods, you wonder if she would like to watch them train with you? You can't wait to show her the art that decorates the walls of the Polis tower, you know she will love it. Oh, and maybe even take her out to meet Luna, in secret of course, not even Titus knows where you go when you visit her.

" Lexa?" she asks, her voice bringing you back into the present.

" To Polis " You shout so the all the others can hear you as well, turning back to Clarke with a smile. She smiles back, pulling your arms around her waist and taking hold of the reigns.
