Space Queen [1]

(edited)

I had sent Clarke to go talk to the commander with Abby and Kane while i stayed back with my grieving sister.

We had lay'd Finn down on a blanket as Raven gently holds his head with me at her side.

We had both spent a large amount of time crying together as no words were shared between us, giving each other the space to grieve.

Raven had stopped crying by now as i remember something Finn told me to do ages ago.

"Raven" i gently call as she turns her head to me while i feel around in my pocket for something "Finn told me to give this to you when i felt the time was right, he said it symbolizes how much he loves and cares for you and i know how deeply sorry he was for what he did" Finally finding the item, i pull it out my pocket and hand it to her.

A sob escapes her mouth as she grabs it off me with shaky hands.

She holds the necklace Finn made her in front of her as the flood gates open once again.

"thank you" she whispers before pulling me into a tight hug.

We stay like that for awhile, enjoying each others embrace before footsteps approach.

Raven quickly pulls away and wipes her face from any tears before putting the necklace around her neck.

"go away" Raven croaks out once she sees its Clarke.

"i'm sorry" Clarke apologizes as Raven gets up and yells at her to go away once again.

"i know how hard it must be for you two, but i need wren to come with me and for you too keep working on the radio" Clarke instructs, like she's in charge.

I get up and stand next to Raven, putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Two grounders come up behind us and start taking Finn's body, causing Raven to protest.

"they need to take him now" Clarke states as she grabs Raven's arm to pull her away. I harshly push Clarke back and make her trip a bit as she lets Raven go "don't touch my sister" i spit at her before turning back to the grounders "give us a minute"

The grounders hesitantly leave as Raven turns back to Clarke "you agreed to this?"

"we're taking him back to where the massacre took place, there's a death ritual. Its the only way to get our people out of mount weather" Clarke explains  as Raven shakes her head.

Clarke needs to be put back in her place, she isn't in command here.

"you're not going" i state as i step closer to her.

"what do you mean i'm not going, yes i am" Clarke protest as i cross my arms and glare at her.

"if you ever want to be forgiven for this, you will do as i say or i will break your nose right now" i hiss as she casts her eyes downward, slightly nodding her head.

"i'll take her place" Raven pipes up from behind me as she also glares at Clarke "don't worry, i'll bring your damn radio"

I had left Clarke behind, much to Abby's displeasure, and now were traveling to Cassius' village.

The commander had requested i get a horse and ride with her, so that's how i ended up awkwardly in between Lexa and Gustus while they speak their native language.

Once they are done talking, Lexa slightly turns to me "bold move to leave Clarke behind"

"she would be no use here and right now, all i want to do is stab her" i answer truthfully as she fully turns to me now.
