Sky Above Me, Earth Below Me

Chapter 57

Chapter 57
Eco

I was fumming in anger how could she flirted like that. I clenched my fist trying to control my emotions. The spoon that I've been holding immediately bend then break. I need to remind her who she belongs to.

Emily

I can't help but smile on the boldness of the princess. Its obvious Lexa did not expect that to happen. All the grounders stood up and also bowed before her. I can see happiness on her eyes as she scanned the room and when it landed at the sky princess there is love passing through her greens. As the night continues I noticed how Lexa followed every movements of the princess, I'm sure the people also noticed her adoration towards her. Costia was now in bad mood and now sending daggers to Clark who innocently enjoyed the party with her friends. I noticed Eco is now extra clingy to the princess but the princess seemed uneasy. I also spotted Luna talking to Zara and a bit touchy towards each other I smirked and thought "It's about time.." Then my eyes fall into that golden haired girl with icy blue eyes. I drank my wine straight on then sighed. Now I can't take my eyes off her.

Nyoko
I ran towards Emily and she was a bit taken back when I whispered to her. Maybe because she was busy eating lady Alison alive in her mind. "what the fuck Nyoko.." she said in hushed tone. "I could say the same thing to you.." i smirked then slightly turned to Ali. She scrunched her brows and said "what do you want?" "shit I forgot.. Its the princess I can't seem to find her anywhere.. I've been watching her for a distance cause Costia might do something base on the looks she gave the princess." i said worriedly. Then she immediately scanned the room to confirm and indeed there is no sight of the princess. She stood up abruptly and contacted Indra and Octavia in the intercom" Find the princess now. Report back to me if you have eyes on her already. "she said. I turned to the Queen and was startled to see her staring at us. Base on that look she's giving me I knew that she can sense something is wrong. I bowed to her and immediately followed the commander. She will claim our heads for sure if she finds out that we lost our sight on the princess.

Eco

"what's wrong love? We should go back to our friends they will think we did something dir-" she was not able to finish what she's saying cause I pushed her on the wall and held her fragile neck with my right hand while my left hand trapped her on the wall. I gripped her neck tightly, she struggled to remove it but we all know grounders are stronger than sky people. I whispered on her ear and said "You belong to me.. You think I did not noticed how you flirted with the Queen!? Are you a fucking slut?!?" i pushed her deeper on the wall. I saw that lovely blue eyes watered in tears and she struggled to breathe. "you are mine! Remember that!!" then harshly let go of her. She crumpled on the ground while catching her breath. I saw Titus at the corner of my eye then i immediately held Clark. "i told you not to drink too much love.. Now look what happened.." I acted naturally then gripped her hands tightly in order to send her the signal. If she ever dares to annoy me again I'm gonna punish her till this night ends. "Sky princess are you alright" Titus asked always a concerned citizen. I rolled my eyes then look at Clark straight in her eyes. Pained blue eyes stared at me as well as fear. She looked down then softly answered "I'm fine thank you Titus... I was just tipsy.. That's all.. You know grounder drink.."then she hesitantly laughed. I smiled at Titus then said" my girlfriend is really silly we should retire now thanks again Titus.. "then I grabbed Clark's arm then dragged her away from his sight." Wait doctor.. " i stopped at my place then slowly turned to him." I'll call you a ride home" he said. I smiled and answered "its okay i have my private car with me but thank you anyway" then immediately turned around without waiting for him to answer back. I gripped Clarke's arm tightly. When we are far enough she whispered to me "Eco please you're hurting me..." my blood immediately boiled. "this is your fault in the first place! You know already the consequences!" I answered in gritted teeth while we are still walking towards the front door of the palace. I smiled and nod to people like nothing happened in order to conceal our situation. "I did not do anything.." she answered softly. "You still haven't learned.." i answered back. I was about to open the double doors when a voice stopped me from my tracks. "Doctor... Retiring so soon?" I slowly turned around and saw Doctor Nyoko the medical president. Fuck! I can't easily escape in this situation. I put on my fake smile and greeted him respectfully. "Doctor Nyoko its been so long.." i let go of Clarke's arm and met him half way. I held my hand to shake his, he was smiling genuinely as always he's been friendly towards all his staff. "you were so serious in your life now I can't seem to get hold of you."he said then laughed." No you just locked yourself in your lab I'm sure" i answered back. Then he laughed again his eyes turned to my back and saw Clark looking down on the floor. "Sky princess?"Nyoko said. I turned to Clark then back at Nyoko." She's really drunk that's why we need to go home early. " I said." oh I see.. "then he moved nearer towards Clark i immediately stopped him." Anyway its getting late we should really get going." He eyed me suspiciously then smiled." Alright then.. Have a nice night doctors.. " i nod then turned to Clark. I opened the door and lead her outside first. We walked towards my car when.. "Princess you dropped - ." Nyoko wasn't able to finish his sentence when he saw Clarkes bruised arm, she immediately retracted her arm from him and hide it. ".. This" Nyoko finished showing her handkerchief. "Is everything okay?" he asked Clark with concern in his eyes. "Get in Clark"I said firmly. While opening the car door." Princess?" Nyoko asked again.

Clark

I looked down trying to avoid Nyoko's gaze. I suppressed my emotions for 1 whole year till now in order to not let my friends know what my life turned out to be. Eco was good to me at first, she was everything I wanted but later on she became jealous to whoever gets close to me. She became violent and possessive later on as time passed by. I was happy when I got drunk in the moon festival for I was able to have fun and be with my friends. To be free.. I was so glad when I woke up and she wasn't by my side but at the same time afraid of what she might do to the important people around me. I don't care what she wants to do to me as long as she will not touch them. That's why I contacted her immediately to let her know I wasn't fooling around and i was truely with my friends. I wanted to cry in front of Nyoko.. I wanted to scream for help but instead..i smiled and said "I'm okay. Good night Nyoko.." then went inside the car. I heard Eco said good night to the doctor. As she drove away i looked out at the side mirror and saw Nyoko stuck in his place while still looking at our car retreating. I sighed heavily and closed my eyes. I can sensed Eco's anger and were moving in fast speed. I'm such a failure to my people.. I was once the strongest elemental in my world before but look at me now.. So pathetic.. Then those familiar greens invaded my mind again. When i held her hand her our memories together flashed one by one from good to bad. I was hurt.. For she wasn't strong enough to fight for me.. I blamed her for what have happened to me now. I'm suffering because of her.. I wanted to hate her but.. My heart longed for her love.. Longed for home.
