Lexa's POV
I am woken by the sound of the horns. I am trying to register what is happening and that's when I Realised Heda is dead! I begin to get out of bed when suddenly Costia burst through my door and stared at me with tears in her eyes (Lexa The conclave begins at dawn. I never thought this would happen so soon Costia begins to sob Lexa please you have to win I can't lose you your my best friend and I... I... I love you Lexa I cannot bare to watch you die you have to win for me for your mother even for Indra I will be by your side always!) I stare at the sobbing girl did she just say she loves me? I have to be dreaming I have loved her since we were children and here she is saying she loves me. Yo...you love me Costia? (Lexa I have Loved you for years but now I needed you to know just in case!) I love you too Costia I say with a shaky voice. I can't help but smile at the beautiful girl in front of me. I promise to come out of that Conclave alive tomorrow because now I have a reason to win! The older girl stares at Lexa with aww (I love you so much Lexa Com Trikru!) This amazing girl in front of me my best friend loves me and I love her. I walk up to the girl who is now sitting on her knees with her face in her hands. I kneel down next to her. Costia please look at me! When she doesn't move I lean forward and place my hand under her chin to force her to look at me. When I see the tears running down her face my first reaction is to wipe them away I move my hands to each side of her face and use my thumbs to wipe her tears. In that moment I wanted to kiss her but before I had the chance. Costia grabs my face and pulls me to her and our lips meet for the first time. We pull apart and I stare at her for a moment before I pull her towards me and kiss her back. (Lexa?) Yes Costia! (Can I stay with you tonight I don't wanna be away from you until the conclave in the morning!) I can't help the smile that pulls at my lips of course you can it would be great to have you here before the conclave. (Costia looks at the younger girl knowing It could be her last time to ever see those emerald eyes.) Come now lets go to sleep I stand up and extend my hand to Costia. She takes my hand and I lead us to my bed. We lay down under the soft animal skin blankets and just stare at each other for what seemed like forever until we were both asleep.
(Knock......knock....knock) I wake up to the sound of knocking I open my eyes and see Costia curled up at my side with one arm draped over my torso. I don't want to move and wake her. (Knock..knock..knock ) I hear the knocks again. Enter I shout trying to be as quiet as possible. Titus walks through my doors and his eyes immediately go to Costia. He glares momentarily before speaking. (Lexa It is almost time for the conclave to begin you need to get ready and meet Indra and Anya in the training room now get up you haven't got the time to waste! Oh and when Costia wakes send her to find me if you will we have some news about Edinburgh to discuss now remember your teachings today stay focused at all times watch your opponents every move and most importantly don't hesitate. The spirits of the Commanders will choose wisely. With that said I take my leave Make your mother proud today She always said you were her Warrior now you must prove it Jus Drein Jus Daun. Don't let your heart make you weak especially not today Lexa! With that Titus exits the room) ugh "sigh" today I become a killer but it's what must be done. It's not like I haven't hurt people before but today is different I have to kill all of the Natblidas that I've come to know and Train with Luna, Dudley, Edgar, Alaina, Greer, Ramsey, Diana, and Silas. They are all my enemies today and like Titus said I cannot allow my heart to get in the way not to day. I am confident I can kill all my competitors with ease except for Luna she will be my only competition today. Luna's brother Silas is also in the conclave I cannot even begin to imagine how the day will go. I look over at a sleeping Costia I run my hand through her hair. Costia begins to stir. Hey sorry If I woke you I didn't mean to but I have to go get ready for the Conclave. Oh and Titus wants you to find him he says you must discuss Edinburgh! (Oh I will get right on that and don't worry about waking me It's perfectly alright. Costia looks at Lexa with tears forming in her eyes. I love you Lexa  you have to win today I expect to see you at dinner tonight after your ascension!) I love you too very much so I will do my best to win today but let's not act like I've won yet! Will you be there today at the Conclave? (I'm sorry Lexa I can't watch you possibly die so no I will not be there I hope you can understand.) I do I completely understand. Can I ask a favor of you today? (Anything you want!) Will you kiss me just in case? I stare down at my feet knowing full well that my face was bright red. After a few moments go by with no response I look up to see her staring at me suddenly her hands are at my waste pulling me to her and our lips meet possibly for the last time.
