Make It Easy

Chapter 1

Clarke made it back to her own chambers having left Heda's to find Murphy tied up and beaten beyond anything that's when a voice came from the right of her making her face the culprit. "He snuck in," Titus stated but with the gun in his hand and pointed at her she took a stance "I'm going to kill you and it will be blamed on him, you've been a distraction to the Commander, like this he will be seen as the murder and thief." 

"No, Titus. I was leaving, Octavia is leaving just let me take him and we will be gone."

"No!" His voice was thunderous then numerous shots were fired toward her but Wanheda avoided them as best as she could. It wasn't till she notice that Lexa was walking into the room and Clarke jumped in front of the bullet that was meant for her anyways. Lexa furious looks to Titus as she caught Clarke in her arms "You will explain this later! Get a healer! Now!" Her voice was thunderous but if anyone knew Lexa she was hurting it was the blonde occupying her arms, "Clarke," her voice was soft as gave her focus to the blonde in her arms "keep your eyes open, please." Her voice shook and kept her tears at bay as the Heda should not shed tears in front of anyone except Clarke or Indra with the only other person being from Lexa's people as he was tied up and looked to be beaten. Lexa gently laid the blonde onto the floor going to untie murphy "Find me some rags." He scrambled searching the room the good thing was that Clarke always seemed to keep a first aid kit wherever she went. 

"Heda," He was scrambling next to the blonde opening the first aid kit "Clarke, what do I do?"

"Y-your going to have to stitch me up," blonde could feel that the bullet went through but just in case "Lexa is going to have to put me on my side to make sure the bullet went through." 

"We won't hurt you?" Lexa asked worriedly and Clarke merely shook her head so she did as she was told putting her on her side with a groan coming from her. Murphy looked to Lexa and she nodded meaning that the bullet had gone through "What, now?"

"If it went through and I-I'm not spitting blood then the bullet didn't hit any major body part you can stitch me up front and back but we will need to get to Arkadia, quick." 

"No," Heda was quick to deny Clarke "Your mother will come here." 

"Heda, the kill order." 

"I will bring her myself," Heda stood as Titus entered with a healer "the healer will stay with Murphy and Clarke Kom Skaikru but you Titus will be nowhere near her until I return with her mother." 

Titus only nodded and left the Skaikru people be as he followed Lexa out and toward where her horse would be prepared outside for her "Heda, do you really need to go get another from Skaikru?"

Lexa turned to him with so much resentment and hate that he had never seen on her face before with a look that could kill him "Yes, I will. If it wasn't for her I'd be dead because of you but instead it might be her and I will not start another war with Skaikru for no reason. We are already at a war that is not needed, that I am hoping will die down, that should die down with the people of Skaikru. Blood must not have blood. I will deal with your consequence once I return with Abby Kom Skaikru, do you understand?" With the nod he had given her she was off with a few men riding behind her but before she made it out of Polis she found Indra and Octavia blocking their path. "I need the both of you to return to the tower," Octavia gave her a confused look "Wanheda has taken a bullet for me and I only have a healer with her. I need you to go to her Octavia and Indra as I do not trust Titus to not hurt her again if I am not there by her side. We are riding to Arkadia and will be back with the hour with Abby Kom Skaikru."

"Of course, Heda." Octavia nodded and once the Heda's back was turned toward her she took that as her cue to run toward the tower with Indra closer behind her. Octavia knew that Clarke wouldn't be late or without notifying her for no reason once in the tower they went straight for Clarke's room. "Murphy?"

"It's a long story but it's a good thing you are here I need you to put Clarke on her side so I can finish stitiching. The healer gave Clarke something for the pain and to put her under, said it should last two hours or so, but I haven't yet to finish the last few stitches." Octavia nodded and went to put Clarke on her side she looked at Indra "I will keep watch, Octavia." With that Indra left the three and stood guard at the door until Heda would return, but this might change everything if the Skaikru were to learn what happened to their leader. 

"Okay," Murphy tied off the last one then putting the gauze on each side of the bullet wound and wrapped her with the bandages "we are done she should be fine up until Abby gets here." 

"It'll hold till then," Octavia was sure or so she hoped "Heda didn't look to happy. Do you know?"

"Well for the fact that her advisor shot Wanheda, he also shot the Heda's lover."

"Lover?"

"Clarke hadn't been in her chamber the whole time," Murphy grinned and shook his head "she was barely returning from Heda's chambers." 

Octavia shook her head with a soft smile playing on her lips, she kissed Clarke's forehead, "Don't worry, Octavia. She's strong. She's not gonna leave either of us, or Lexa when we are finally all on the s
