Clexa - The Morning After

Chapter 5

As Clarke woke up in an unknown room, suddenly everything came back to her. "shit, this is Lexa's room." She thought. She could hear commotion from outside, thinking that it was just from the market, she gradually rose from the couch as she put her jacket and boots back on.

Clarke turned around to head out just as lexa came wandering back in. "Oh..um, heda." She bowed her head. "Clarke you may call me Lexa."

"Did you get a good night sleep?"

"I did, mochof."

"I see you have remembered last nights teachings." Lexa smirked. "I have something to show you in the throne room."

Clarke quickly got changed and had noticed the armor from yesterday being laid out on the table in front of her, she then followed Lexa silently wondering who or what it could be. As they arrived, the doors flung open revealing her mother and Kane. Abby rushed over and squeezed her in a tight hug asking her every second whether she was okay.

Clarke just nodded pulling away quickly wanting to know how her friends were. Abby replied a little hurt by Clarke's action. "They are all fine Clarke, no need to worry."

Clarke's expression softened at the news that her people were better than ever, that was all she needed to hear.

When Abby shared a look with Lexa, she exited the room, leaving Clarke, Abby and Kane alone to talk freely.

"Actually Clarke there is something we would like to discuss, the commander proposed it to us and we thought it was a good idea." Clarke looked at her for more and Abby carried on. "We can become the 13th clan and be added into the coalition." 

Abby looked at her daughter worried of what she might say until Clarke beamed with happiness. "That sounds like a great idea, it will benefit our people." As she said these words the doors swung open and the commander walked back in, waiting for an answer.

"It would be an honor to become to 13th clan, thank you Lexa." Abby looked at her daughter confused with her familiarly to the commander, and she hadn't even blinked an eye when Clarke didn't call her the respected name that she had been given, but she put this to the back of her mind as the ceremony was tomorrow and they needed to prepare.

As Clarke and Lexa were walking down the hall once again. Lexa had to mention one thing with becoming the 13th clan though. "You will need one person from your clan to become the ambassador and be present in Polis at all times, I was thinking it might be you, being as you would do anything to protect skaikru, and I don't see as to why that should stop now."

Clarke nodded in agreement before speaking up. "Of course, I will but i will have to inform kane and my mother of this."

"Don't worry i have already taken care of that."

"How did you know i would even accept."

"I know you better than you would think Clarke." A smiled formed on Lexa's face, that was rare, Clarke took it in not knowing the next time that would happen. Before she realized she was staring, the commander had already turned and walked away, her red sash following behind her.

Clarke stared in awe at the place she had just been, until she snapped back to reality by a slap on her shoulder, it was raven and Octavia, who she hadn't seen in 3 months now. 

They hugged for what seemed like an eternity and when they were finally done, they started to talk about the ark, Clarke then changed the subject, "So what are you doing here?"

"Well Lexa asked Octavia if she would like to stay and become a warrior and of course she said yes," Raven rolled her eyes, "Then she asked me if I would like to become an engineer because apparently Polis has a lot of old technology that they haven't done anything with as they have no clue how it works."

"Of course Lexa asked them, now I will have my friends and the chances of me leaving her much slimmer. She knows me so well."  Clarke thought.

As Clarke showed her friends around the markets, Octavia became interested in the same armor shop that they were at just yesterday she decided to show it off and not that it came from this shop. The lady that owned it smiled proudly.

As Octavia was inspecting a much sturdier looking sword, the lady offerd it to her. "Any friend of wanheda has my respect."

Clarke flinched once again at the word wanheda. While Octavia replied to the woman "Mochof."

After a long day, Clarke decided to go off to her room with Octavia and Raven doing the same as they had already been shown there rooms and had unpacked everything which they brought with them, which wasn't much.

After Clarke had washed and put on her nightgown which had been left in her wardrobe, She began to think about the name.. wanheda and suddenly all the faces crowded her mind and invaded her thoughts.

As she began to let out some sobs, she heard a knock at the door, she quickly wiped her tears away which left her with red puffy cheeks.

She then opened the door and there she was, Lexa.
