Chapter 49

Clark

I didn't know what's gotten into me but my feet lead me towards the queen. Her eyes.. Its definitely her eyes.. Its like calling to me.. We held each others gaze before i reached and crushed my body to her. I hugged her tightly while crying on her shoulders. I was mainly grateful for everything she have done for me and my people. "Thank you..." i whispered between sobs. "Thank you so much.." i was about to move away when her warm arms encricled my body holding me tightly. I felt my heart skipped a beat but i was not uncomfortable in fact its the complete opposite, it felt natural.. Warm.. Like home. Her body seemed familiar to mine then i just cried my heart out while holding on her tightly. I heard her whispered comforting words that i never thought the expression less queen could do. I just knew deep inside that she's not the stone cold hearted queen she tend to potray. I didn't know how long we stayed that way before a sudden loud sound reigned the silent room which woke me up from reality i immediately detached myself from her remembering my place even though my body screamed to be close to her again. I look at her beautiful eyes who turned to the loud sound she seemed angry i stepped back further fearing she's mad at my invasive movement i mentally scolded myself for my stupidity "I...." she looked at me again, it seemed she noticed my uneasiness, her eyes softened as she scanned my face. "I apologize for my actions your grace.. I was just overwhelmed..you don't know how grateful I am to you and your people...thank you for everything.." then i bowed.  " I swore fealty to you to treat your people as my own sky princess.. You have my word." she send shiver down my spine as she said those words. It felt like there's more than that. I broke down into tears again i don't know why I'm so emotional.. my heart felt like its breaking into pieces. I gasp when she cupped my face gently wiping my tears away, her eyes.. It reflects more than concern.. i was shocked and confused. I heard Raven coughing which made me turn away from the Queen i felt her warm gaze as I tried to act like nothing happened even though my heart beats abnormally fast. "oops.. sorry for breaking that heart warming momen- OUCH!!! why'd you hit me?!?!" Raven whinned. "you're unbelievable.." Ali said clearly pissed off. Alarms suddenly reigned the room i immediately look at Bellamy and Monty. I saw Bellamy having a seizure i ran towards him and tried to apply everything I've learned in med school. I felt Nyoko beside me, he hand over surgical gloves with a smile and i immediately nod at him as a sign of thank you.

The princess and Nyoko worked hand and hand over the person called Bellamy. I was amazed how time changed a person. The princess really showed competence at her chosen field. I saw the queen looking at the princess with admiration. I sighed recalling that short moment they have. Even though her memories was wiped out it seems that the heart doesn't forget who it belonged to. I just hope the Queen realized that. "Please be alright.." i heard Octavia whispered trying to contain herself from bursting into tears. Lady Ali hugged her from the back comforting her friend. I felt envious suddenly and a bit jealous wishing I'm at her place. I shake my head trying to draw myself to reality cause in here there will never be an "us" or even a chance for her to be mine. I was startled when she look directly at my eyes, i immediately avoided her gaze and felt my cheeks warm. "Commander" i heard the Queen called me. "Call the councils for emergency meeting.. Summon Indra to look after the infirmary while we're gone. I expect reports from her." the queen commanded. "as you wish your majesty.." i answered back while slightly bowing. She turned to Octavia and the other sky ladies. "Warrior you are permitted to stay with your friends. You are dismissed from your duties till your people recovered." "Thank you so much your grace..." she said gratefully. The Queen nod and walked towards the double doors but before she opened the doors she slightly moved her head to the side looking at the sky princess one more time before heading out. I followed her and can't help but smirked at her simple gestures."What?"she asked flatly without looking at me while continuing walking towards our dragons." What? I didn't say anything.. "i said trying to suppress my smile." i know what's going on with that head of yours.. "she responded while we're climbing on our dragons back."awee.. You know me that well? I'm flattered.." i said teasing her. "shut it Em." she said. "As you wish your majesty.." i said while smiling.
