Sky Above Me, Earth Below Me

Chapter 47

Clark

"I'm sorry.." i heard someone whispered. I turned to find the source of that voice and was shocked to see the grounder Queen with sadness in her eyes. I was confused cause i was wearing my casual gown back at my palace while her on the other hand was also wearing her black gown and crown. She looks stunning as ever but her green pools seemed too sad to not notice. We were standing at a meadow graced by the magnificent moon making the vicinity visible. The wind blew making our gowns and hair sway but i never removed my gaze on the grounder Queen and neither did she. I walked nearer towards her and gasp as i saw tears running down her face. I don't know why but my heart ached as i gaze upon that beautiful face. I was about to wipe her tears away but a blinding light suddenly appeared making the surroundings white. I turned back to the Queen but now she's gone and i was all alone trapped in some kind of white vortex. "Clark.. CLARK!!" I heard someone called my name but there's no one there. I turned and look from my right and left but still no person or any living creature around. Then suddenly i felt someone pulled my arms i screamed and closed my eyes. "Heyyyy Clark!! Clark!!" i jolt up. I breath heavily and saw a pair of icy blue eyes staring at me with concern. I tried to focus on her face and immediately recognize her. "Ali.." i called her name and hugged her. She was startled but still hugged me back. "Shh... It was just a dream.. You were screaming while you're sleeping that's why i had to wake you up.." she said with her soothing voice. I looked around and saw unfamiliar things. I tried to remember what happened last night then flashes of drunken me and the girls reigned on my thoughts. Shit." Ali where are we? "i asked her as i released her from my deathly grip. She smiled and said" God you really did it this time princess. We're at Octavia's apartment since we were too drunk last night she was kind enough to drag us here. "then she giggled. Just then the doors opened revealing Octavia with an apron and while holding a spatula." Guysss Indra's gonna kill me from being late can you please have your breakfast now. "she said with irritation in her face." Boohooo Indra this Indra that!!! Can't you spend time with us for just a second?!? " the little birdie whinned making us all laugh except for Octavia ofcourse who just rolled her eyes. We moved towards the kitchen and saw Raven already helping herself with food." look you can stay whenever you like okay but i really need to go... I'll see you guys later." Octavia said while practically racing her ass everywhere getting her things and run off the door without letting us respond. "Octavia is turning into a grounder I'm telling you." Raven commented while still eating. "common Raven relax let the girl do her job" Ali said while putting food in her plate. Raven just huff in response. I turned on the television which we are used to by now before we were amazed with this kind of invention and practically watch every chanel on it 24/7. The face of the Queen appeared and her wife Queen Costia the news said that the moon festival was a success and they were all grateful for the royals especially the Queens. I stared at her stunning face and can't help held my breath. Then i remembered my dream then shake my head. Maybe i was still intoxicated with the alcohol i need to wash this out of my body. "So anyway since were here already in the capital why don't we hang around a bit more.. I want to go to the park and eat ice cream.." Raven started. "sure we can do that" i said smiling then i remembered Echo. Shit. I completely forgot about my girlfriend. The last time i saw here she was passed out on the table. "shit. Shit. Shit." i said while looking for my bag. "what's wrong?" Ali asked. "I forgot about Echo.." i said while rummaging my bag looking for my phone. "oh.. Your lover.. I forgot about her too" Ali said then giggled. I rolled my eyes and checked my phone. I got 38missed calls and 30 messages from Echo. Shit. I dialed her number. "to tell you honestly princess i don't think she's the one for you I mean you need someone strong that can protect you. You're a bloody royal for heaven sake. That Echo can't even beat me in a drinking game." Raven said while laughing. "Shhh.." i said when Echo pick up the phone. She just rolled her eyes. Then Ali smack her arm. "babe.. I'm sorry i wasn't able to contact you.. Yes.. Yes.. I'm here at Octavia's apartment.. You went home already?.. Okay.. Okay..I'll see you when i get back.. No.. We'll stay for a few more days.. Yes I'll take care.. I just need to have a quality time with my friends.. Okay.. See you.. I love you.. Bye" i saw Raven making faces. "Raven stop it." i said. "well excuse me I'm just looking out for you princess and I'm telling you she's not a ruler type." she commented while putting bacon inside her mouth. "Raven let it go atleast now she's happy and contented, right Clark?" Ali said while sipping her coffee."yes" i said but why does my heart telling me otherwise. Yes I'm happy.. I do love her.. But.. Something is missing and i don't know what. I can't seem to see myself with her forever. I sighed then put my phone down and joined my friends for breakfast. I'll just have to enjoy the little time i have with them. I really miss my family. I look down at my right wrist and saw flashes of silver bangled bracelet but it was not there. Hmm that's weird.

Octavia

I saw Indra with a scowl face and can't help but looked down. I'm so in trouble. "you're late.." She said with irritation in her voice. "I'm sorry it won't happen again." i said while bowing and submitting to my superior. "the commander won't be please with us.." she said as she walked towards the palace dining area. "the councils are here joining the commander and the Queen for breakfast. Be on guard cause the ice queen is also present." i nod then the double doors opened revealing the long luxurious table. I moved to the side situated at the back of the commanders chair while Indra is located at the back of the Queen's chair. Indra signalled the guards to open the second double doors then minutes later the councils arrived. They were chatting and took their seats. I spotted the ice queen with her son. I look at Indra and she signalled me to be on high alert. When they are all settled down. The commander arrived making the room silent. I noticed that they fear the commander as much as they feared the Queen. Well who wouldn't though even with her casual look she still looked intimidating as fuck. Titus arrived later on and bowed to the councils then announced the arrival of the Queens. They all stood up showing respect to the queen then bowed. I saw the ice queen hesitantly stood and slightly bowed. As the Queen entered the room everyone felt her radiating power. She walked with grace and authority even if she's just wearing a simple black spaghetti strap gown revealing her ranked tattoos everyone will still know she's the Queen. Her wife on the other hand i couldn't stand i dont know why but i don't like her not one bit. Obviously she's trying to be royal as possible but you can still peak on what she truly is.. Nothing. The princess and the grounder Queen would make a great couple both strong and beautiful... Shit wait what am I thinking that would be impossible. I shake my head and straightened my back trying to focus on my job instead of daydreaming and matchmaking.
