Sky Above Me, Earth Below Me

Chapter 61

Lexa

"Clark.." i half-whispered as I ride Heda towards the castle. For months till now i paid the price of what I did to her. Nyoko is right all along there is more to life than this kingdom.. And that's her.. She's my life.. But I was too late.. Now she's gone.. If only I could redo the past I would have given anything for that just to be with her. A tear escape from my eyes and i immediately wipe it off.  Atleast my friends got their happy ending.

The throne room was filled with questions, councils are now hysterical due to the news. "Silence!" the commanding voice of the Queen reigned the room making them all stop and took their seats quietly. "You acted like a bunch of fools!! You are all supposed to be leaders to your nation so act like one!!!" The councils immediately bowed their heads in submission well who wouldn't Lexa looked deadly and ready to kill everyone in this room. "now.. If you are all ready to listen then we could begin this meeting." the Queen said. I saw Nyoko taking his place while Raven just arrived and positioned herself beside Octavia. "okay then.. Commander release the drones around the borders and we want live visuals here now." the Queen commanded which i immediately complied. I pressed the intercom to activate and send them to the boundaries. Then the holograms immediately appeared reflecting the vicinities. We gasp as we saw animals turned into reapers and some of the grounders who is now unrecognisable. "How come no one filed a report about missing people?!" the Queen angrily asked. "because we are not aware of this my Queen.. No one complained about it.." the desert council said."but that is impossible you should know the number of your population.." the Queen answered while scrunching her brows. "you leaders should know that your population are deteriorating!!" she shouted while angrily smacked the table making everyone flinched. Then suddenly we heard foot steps coming towards the infested area then came a view of a deer eating grass and slowly walking towards the reapers. Some of the councils gasp. I heard Ali whispered "i can't watch this.." then she grasp my arm and looked away. I saw Lexa's face hardened waiting for the events to unveil. Others held their breaths and i could feel my heart pounding. Then a long wavy white haired girl appeared in the hologram with milky white skin who wore a red dress stopping the deer from walking. She's facing the other way so we only have a complete view of her back. "could it be?.." one council said in shock. "is that the sky princess?"another one asked. Then the person turned to the deer which gain us a complete view of her face and all questions asked were answered. It is indeed the sky princess. I immediately look at Lexa and saw her clenched her hands, her face remaind blank but her eyes giveaway the longing she felt for the princess. Ali look at the hologram and said "it is her.." the princess kneeled down and smiled sweetly at the deer while patting his head. "how did you get here?" she said softly which is clearly recorded by the drones. It seems she's not aware she is being watched. "you should run along now.. And be careful love.." she continued talking to the deer then pushed him to the other direction away from the reapers. The deer ran and just on cue the reapers started to move sensing the movements and the living creatures around. The reapers ran towards the princess direction but she just stood still unmoving. She's not even looking at the reapers direction. The councils gasp. "tell her to get out of there!!!" one council shouted. Lexa already stood up from her throne. But the princess remained in her place till the reapers already got nearer to her direction. One reaper jumped towards her but..suddenly blue fire suddenly appeared encircling the vicinity separating the infested area. Every hologram projected the blue walled fire protecting the land. The reapers who are near the wall immediately dissolved into ash. Then the princess look directly at the drone then smiled "you should be from the palace.." she said. Then suddenly she turned to something like she heard a voice that is not audible in the drones speaker. She scrunched her brows and said "hmmm.. Funny.. I thought you guys are in locked down.." she walked through the wall of fire like nothing. "Moved the drones follow the princess!!!!" the Queen commanded. I maneuver the controls when it reached the peak on the fire wall all the drones lost its signal. "fuck!" i shouted. "commander what happened?!? Bring back the visuals!" the Queen angrily said. "the princess walls are too powerful that it sipped the energy from the drones.." Raven interjected. "that's how her walls works.."  "send an army on the boundaries!" the queen commanded. I pressed the intercom and signalled my men to move. "commander you're coming with me" the Queen said while walking towards the doors. "the rest of you alert your warriors to each nation. Put guards on the boundaries, i want reports when i came back." the queen said to the councils. " wait your highness we're coming with you.." i turned to that familiar voice and almost killed her with my gaze." NO! " i said immediately." I'm not asking permission I'm just informing you that we're coming with you.. "  Alison stubbornly responded. "Lexa.." i asked for the Queen's help. "please let us just come with you she's our princess.." Zara said. While luna on the other hand looked displeased. Then suddenly the double doors opened revealing the princess dragging two men behind. She pushed them towards the Queen and they stumbled to her feet. Lexa was shocked looking at the princess gasping for air. "what is an Azgeda soldier doing in the main land borders?!" she said still catching her breath with her ocean blue eyes full of anger. The Queen look at the soldiers with deadly gaze raising her brows then turned to Niyah who looked shocked and pale. The queen stepped forward toward Niyah" What did you do? "she said with gritted teeth." i.. Ah.. Didn't.. "Niyah struggled composing her sentence. She couldn't bare to look at the Queen and beads of sweats are already forming on her forehead. I moved slowly near the door to prevent her from escaping if she's stupid enough to avoid this mess." NIYAH!!!! LOOK AT ME!!!" the Queen shouted angrily. Then the ice nation leader gulped in fear as she could see her death in the eyes of the Queen. She suddenly kicked the table hitting the Queen in the process, ran and jumped off the window. "stupid bitch" Raven commented. I was about to ran and jumped at the window in order to catch her but i was surprised to see Niyah levitating she was situated infront of the angry Queen. Ali just winked at me when i turned to her. I almost forgot how talented my beautiful fiancé is even though she is as stubborn as hell.
