Sky Above Me, Earth Below Me

Chapter 51

Clark

"are you ready princess?" i nod at the person talking behind the camera. I squinted my eyes as the lights go on and took time to adjust my sight. I wore a white dress that is similar to my gowns back at my home. The councils think that it would be best that i would look like what i was before exposing my culture in order to draw my people at the kingdom without hesitations or doubts cause they might think that it would be a trap. I wore draped white diamonds around my head. Looking at my reflection at the camera I saw a ruler. The person in front signalled me to start. "good morning.. Most of you all might know already who I am and why we end up here.. But let me take this opportunity to introduce myself formally .. I'm Clark Eliose Griffin former successor of the sky queen, my mother has been slain by the creatures invaded my land.. They are called reapers.. The reapers are vicious creatures who eats living flesh and transform them into one of them. Due to their growing population I failed to stop them thats why i decided to burn myself and my whole kingdom in order to kill them all...but i survived... Including some of my friends thanks to your ruler who accepted us with open arms and helped us restart and  live again, I owe my life to the Queen... " as i said those words my heart beat fast and realized how sincere i was to my words. Indeed i owe everything to her." I want to thank you all for giving us another place where we could call home again.."i continued and slightly bowed." now I'm here again in front of you to ask for help. Please help me find my people who might have survived the fire and if any sky people watched this or heard this broadcast please don't hesitate to come to the castle i will be waiting for you.." then the grounder turned off the camera. As the blinding light turned off i closed my eyes and sighed heavily then when i opened them again i met that green pools whose been hunting me in my dreams recently. Her gaze i dont know what they meant but it surely brings several emotions in my heart. I'm not even ready to face the queen after that embarrassing moment i impulsively did. I smiled at her which i never expected to be receprocated with a slight smirk. I could feel my cheeks getting warm. "Princess you can step out of the panel now.." one staff said. "oh sorry.. Thank you again." i said while blushing. He must have witnessed how i flirted with his queen. God im such an idiot i completely forgot that she's long married to lady Costia, i want to smack my head on the wall for feeling this way towards the queen. I immediately cleared my throat and meet her halfway as she strode towards my direction. "your highness I'm surprised to see you here.." i said while smiling at her. She intensly scanned my face before answering "am I not allowed to check on the broadcasting Clark?" she said in a teasing tone. "of-ofcourse you're allowed.. Wh-why would you say that?" i said. God why am i stuttering its embarrassing. I just can't seem to control my heart beat everytime i stare at that green pools of hers. So enchanting.. So beautiful.. I saw her slightly smiled and that woke me up from my thoughts. The Queen must think that I'm weird. I immediately diverted my eyes looking around avoiding her intense gaze. I cleared my throat and said "Thank you again my Queen.. Octavia informed me that you sent out drones to detect my people and even use your air facilities to transfer them at the castle.." i said. "don't worry about it my people owed your people too.. They are glad to assist you" she answered which made smile. "oh there you are princess..my queen.." Ali suddenly appeared then bowed to acknowledge the queen. She gasp for air before continuing her sentence "Belamy and Monty are now awake.." i turned to the Queen in shock and i saw her smirked then nod. Without hesitation i ran over her in a tight hug while whispering thank you then immediately pulled Ali transporting us both into the infirmary. "ooookaaay what was that?" Ali broke the silence. Realizing what i did i turned into red as a tomato. Shit i did it again! What's wrong with me! My brain becomes mushy everytime I'm with the grounder queen. "i don't fucking know also.." i responded to Ali as we walked towards the ICU. "look don't get me wrong.. the Queen is hot as hell and no one can resist that goddess but princess.." we stopped walking as we turned face to face. "She's married and you on the other hand is committed.. I can really feel the connection between you two and if maybe you're both available I'll support you two and shipping you all the way but the thing is life sucks..and.." i cut her off "i get it Ali.. Don't remind me.. It was just an act of impulsivity.." then she added "and stupidity.." while smirking. I rolled my eyes then heavily sighed. We silently continued walking but before we opened the doors "if things are different you guys really make a great and hot couple and at the same time rulers.." she said whispering then she pushed the door open leaving me stuck in place, shocked of what she said. Then flashes of green pools invaded my mind looking at me with adoration and love.. I immediately pushed my thoughts away and focus on the present time. God those green pools are really haunting making me hallucinate things.
