Sky Above Me, Earth Below Me

Chapter 68

Emily

We were in the war room discussing security of the kingdom since Niyah's betrayal Lexa seemed more strict in the rules and regulations of the kingdom. She's still worried about Clark's safety but there is a certain glow in her face recently that I couldn't pin point what. She personally took care of the princess after the execution. I'm happy for she finally decided to take a leap of faith on love but she didn't share what happened nor her feelings recently so I'm still that phase of interrogating her when this meeting is over. Luna is discussing about the borders when Lexa held up her hand making her stop. "Why are the soldiers running like a pack of dogs?" she asked. Then we followed her gaze and was shocked to see the warriors hastily moving like searching for something. I scrunched my brows and opened the balcony leading to the garden. "Warriors!!" i called to them. They were all startled to see me and I know something is up which made my stoic face become deadly. "What seems to be the problem?" i asked calmly. They couldn't look at me in the eyes and bead of sweat are already forming on their foreheads. They started to look at each other signalling who will tell me what's going on. "Well?!" i said in my commanding voice. They gulp in fear then answered "its..Lady Alison, Lady Zara, Lady Raven and Lady Clark commander.. It seemed they sneek out.. We couldn't detect them in the cameras.." i felt my blood boiled i clenched my fist trying to contain my anger. "THEY WHAT?!?" I heard Luna and Lexa behind me. "FIND THEM NOW!!!!!" i commanded. I heard Lexa dismissing other councils."commander pull up the visuals of the drones around the vicinity as well as the cameras around the palace" the Queen commanded then i immediately complied. Luna is contacting Zara through her intercom but she's not responding. "Fuck!" she said out of frustration while throwing her intercom. "Those girls really knows how to turn our world upside down" i commented with gritted teeth while scanning the visuals. Lexa looked deadly now while intently looking at the images. "Stop. Widen camera 4"she commanded. I put it in a full view and saw a short black haired girl walking outside the gate." Zoom in and sharpen it "Lexa said. Then when i did it we all fell into a silent trance." Where did they get those disguises?" Lexa asked. I heavily sighed and answered" Ali.. " Lexa laughed for the first time that made me and Luna turned to her, stunned, with open mouth." What? "she said when she noticed us starring." Wow.. I never thought I would hear you laugh like that, she really changed you huh" Luna said teasing the Queen. Lexa blushed "What are you saying.. " she answered avoiding our eyes. "oh my God Lexa!!! How could you!!" i said out of disappointment. "what are you guys talking about" Lexa said still trying to act innocent. "Oh common Queen we all know why you have that certain glow in your face.. Its because of that pretty ocean blue eyed girl. Am I right? Or am I super right?" Luna said without letting Lexa escape our interrogation. She blushed just mentioning the sky princess which made me smirked." Well whatever you guys are doing keep it up. Its nice to see you finally happy Lexa.. "I said while smiling at her. Luna nod in agreement then she looked at us then gave us a warm smile." Thank you.. "she said." actually its good to finally talk to you guys without formalities and politics" Luna said. "Yes I agree.." Lexa said. "Just like the old times.." I commented. Lexa sighed "But first let's get our women back I can't afford to lose mine ever again." she said. "oohhh that was smooth Lex" I said. "never thought you had it in you" luna commented teasingly. Then she just rolled her eyes then pressed the intercom. "Octavia can you come here in the war room we have a situation." She turned to me and asked "Does Ali have more of that costumes?" I slowly smiled.

Raven

"Can we have 4 shots please" i said at the bartender who starred at me in awe. "never seen you before beautiful lady.." he said flirting while making us our drinks. I did not respond and immediately grabbed the drinks but before I could turn away i heard him say "see you around.." eeew i thought and hastily went to our table. "What's with that face Ray?"Zara asked while picking up her drink." the bartender just flirted with me, it makes me want to vomit"i said with scrunched brows. Then they all laughed. "Its nice to get out sometimes you know.. I never thought i could hang out with you guys like this just like we used to back at our home" Clark said with a genuine smile. "You're right.. And you're looking hot princess with that raven black wavy hair it makes your eyes pop and in contrast with your skin not to mention that skin tight red dress! No wonder people can't stop staring at our table." i commented proudly. "oh common they are not staring at me.. Only.. They are staring at us.. Well who wouldn't I got such hot friends" Clark said and we all laugh. We wore disguises thanks to Ali for that in order to surpass the security in the palace and also not to draw attention in the club but we failed in not drawing attention. I was wearing a black short sophisticated wig matched with sparkling gold body hugging dress. Zara got brown long straight hair thrown into a high ponytail exposing her perfect jawline and wore silver tube dress. Ali wore dark brown medium length straight wig partnered with a string sleeve royal blue dress that hugs perfectly with her body. The club was now fully packed, we drink and chat then electronic beats reigned making everyone dance. "Let's dance!!!" Ali suggested then pulled Clark with her. I pulled Zara with me who is still sipping her martini. Then we moved to the crowd and situated ourselves at the center where different colored lights moved and sparkle. We get lost in the beat and the movement of our bodies.

Clark

I left the crowd due to the intense thirst i felt. I sat on the bar and asked for water. I turned to my friends laughing and dancing their heart out. I smiled at the scene "Hi there gorgeous creature" i turned to the voice and was met with lovely brown eyes, she looks pretty with her white polo shirt and leather pants but there is something in this person that seemed cold and not wanting. The bartender gave me the water I said a quick thanks and was about to walk back when I felt the same person grabbed my arm. I scrunched my brows and look at her. "Oops didn't mean to scare you I just wanted to know your name" she said with a smile. "I'm sorry I don't give out names to stranger" I said and was about to turn back again when she began to talk "Well I'm  Ontari..nice to meet you beautiful creature" she said while extending her hand.
