Clexa

Chapter 7

Clarke's POV
"She wants another meeting?"
"Yes."
"Is she going to kill me?"
"If she wanted you dead you would be"
I feel like there's something I don't know, first she wants to kill a kid, then she declares war on us, and now she wants to meet again. Her name should be Commander Confusing.
"Clarke?" Anya said snapping me out of my thoughts
"Yeah?"
"Do you accept?"
"Yeah of course"
"Same people same time" she said and left.

We were waiting in the big tent the commander hadn't yet showed up.
"You seem a little nervous Clarke, are you finally realizing your feeling for me?" I laughed, I appreciate his efforts of trying to lighten up the mood
"Yeah that's it. It has nothing to do with where we are or the mystery of it" I said smirking for some reason it seemed like everyone's glares were becoming more intense, are they allergic to jokes?
" I knew it" said Bell and I playfully shoved him
"Hello, Skykru" Lexa said which scared me a little I didn't hear her come in
"Commander" all of us said in unison.
"You called this meeting for what purpose?" I said trying to get straight to the point
" I guess there's no point in hiding the reason" she said, now sitting in her throne hands interlaced in front  of her
"I have one last offer Klarke of the Sky people, one that could save both our people"
"I'm listening" she nodded at Anya who came closer as if taking the mic from the commander
"A merger" I felt hazed and I felt my heart drop, my blood get cold and goosebumps taking over my body
"What does this mean?" My mom asked
"It means an arranged marriage" Bellamy said anger evident in his voice.
I wasn't able to speak my thoughts were racing
"And how would that serve you and our clan both?" Abby said
"Your clan becomes our clan, I won't declare war and you won't have to fight one, all I ask in return is for your daughters hand"
"Clarke?" Bellamy said I opened my mouth to say something but before I could speak my mother beat me to it
"We accept"
"Abby!"
"Bellamy we just went over inventory and a soldier count we would ultimately lose the war and many lives. Clarke will be married to the most powerful person on the ground she'll be safe. This is the only way to save our people." I hadn't noticed but this whole time my eyes had been on the ground when I looked up those green eyes were looking into mine. We stared at each other for what felt like an eternity I couldn't make out what Bell and Abby were bickering about. It felt like the commander and I were the only ones in the room. I felt my chest getting heavier and my breath pick up and my eyes start to burn but I wouldn't be seen crying by these people
"Clarke?" I heard Bellamy say and he stepped in front of me breaking the consuming eye contact
"Hey look at me. Be strong for a minuet longer" he said and turned around
"Will that be all commander?"
"I need an answer. I have gotten an agreement from the chancellor but not from Klarke"
"Spending the rest of your life with someone in something so intimate as a marriage only for political reasons, is that what you want?"
"This isn't about what I want Klarke. This is about preventing a war. I thought as a leader you'd understand"
I nodded "I accept"
For my people.
