Clexa - The Morning After

Chapter 13

As Clarke woke, the events of yesterday flooded her head, she smiled to herself, she couldn't wait to see the girl again, they needed to talk. Without realizing it, she was shivering, she quickly made her way off the roof, unsure as to why she chose there to get rest.

She was quickly warmed up as soon as she set foot in the metal dome. She decided to go and get some food, her stomach reminding her just how hungry she as as it let out a low growl.

When she entered the room, there weren't many there since it was still early hours of the morning. She quickly grabbed her food and searched the area to see whether her friends were up.

Not seeing anyone, she sat down on her own metal bench and started tucking into her food. Halfway through stuffing her face, Octavia and Raven had entered with their hands entwined.

Clarke just smiled at them and beckoned them over once they had gathered their food, as they became closer, she managed to make out the bags under their eyes, they hadn't gotten much sleep last night, Clarke smirked. 

"So I see you sorted it all out then." Clarke winked at Octavia.

"What about you and commander heart eyes Clarke?" Raven defended.

Clarke immediately felt her cheeks burn up at this comment. Damnit.

"I don't know what you're talking about Raven." She stated and carried on eating her food without making eye contact.

"Oh, I think you do, Princess." She mocked.

"Okay, Okay so we maybe kissed last night." 

"WHAT?!" They both shouted in unison.

"Shhh, not so loud, I don't anyone finding out, not yet."

"Hold up, so you're saying you kissed the commander, the heartless commander of the 12 clans." Octavia replied, shocked.

"Hey! She isn't that heartless." Clarke defended.

"Oh, you are so whipped." Raven laughed.

"Whatever." Clarke stood up finishing her meal and left.

She then decided that she would go and see Lexa and if they could talk about last night.

As she was going to signal to open the gate, Logan grabbed her arm.

"Not so fast Princess."

"What do you want now?" She asked, clearly not in the mood for this again, where was her guard when she needed him.

She tried yanking her arm out of his grip, but that only made him tighten it, "You're not going to talk to that commander, I wont allow it."

"And who said I had to listen to you?"

"Your mother actually, she left to go and see if she could salvage anything from the mountain to help the people that were attacked by Azgeda."

Clarke felt hurt that her mother hadn't even bothered to say goodbye to her. He could see the effect this sentence had on her and let out a smirk, not even bothering to hide it.

Not wanting to get in another fight, especially in front of the crows that was gathering, she decided to leave it, she could talk to Lexa another time. However, that time never came since she never saw her for the rest of the day, she even managed to get through the gate later in the day and she went to check in her tent, however Indra had stopped her from getting in.

"Sorry Sky girl but I cant let you do that." She snarled.

"Why not?"

"Commanders orders."

Clarke sighed in defeat, Why didn't she want to see me.. She was sure that she just needed to clear her head after last night, but Clarke still felt pained.

As night fell over, Clarke didn't feel hungry anymore, she decided to get some blankets this time and go back up to the roof, the only place where she could feel safe. Looking up at the stars. So much had changed since they had landed. She had killed so many people. But she had also saved many. Her people, she had saved her people and that's what kept her going.

She tucked herself under the covers and fell into a deep sleep, not even hearing her guard placing himself at the bottom of the ladder.

She woke to the sun blinding her, it wasn't as cold last night. She reluctantly got up, she has never been much of a morning person. She headed straight down, wanting to see her mother since she would have returned by now.

She gave Ryder a nod, not taking much notice of him since he followed silently behind her. She went outside and into the infirmary, which was a medic tent outside the camp. As soon as she entered, she found it packed with people and also found all the meds stocked up and there were even some strange new machines, no doubt from Mount Weather.

As Abby saw her, she ran over to her and dragged her outside, Clarke could see that this wouldn't be one of her friendly mother daughter talks when was it though. She rolled her eyes and ordered Ryder to wait until she was finished with the conversation, which she was sure wouldn't be long.

"I cant believe you Clarke, I am gone for one day! One day and you're already causing trouble."

"What did I do now?" Clarke asked fed up with her mother already.

"Logan filled me in on everything."

"Oh I'm sure he did," She rolled her eyes once more, "Go on, what did he say this time?"

"You were insistent to go and see the commander and you even injured a guard to do so, what has gotten into you Clarke?"

"I harmed a guard?! Is that what he said now! He was the one grabbing me and I walked away because of the gathering crowd." She responded, clearly angered at the accusations. She then lifted her sleeve up to show her the imprint he had left.

"That could've been of anything, you could've done that to yourself for all I know, you've changed since you met Lexa Clarke and not for the better."

"I cant believe you!" With that, she walked away from the conversation despite Abby shouting at her.

As she reached the door, Logan was there and stopped her until he saw her guard and stepped aside, however, this didn't stop her from colliding her shoulder with his.

She strode back to her room and Ryder took a place in front of the door. She sunk down into the metal bed and took out her notebook. She began drawing. It wasn't until she was finished that she realized what she had drew until she held it in front of her and saw the green eyes staring right back at her however around them was the war paint, she looked fearless, strong, she looked like a leader.

The knock on her door brought her back to reality and she answered, it was Abby. She just hoped it was an apology, but of course, it wasn't.

"Meeting in 30 minutes we need to discuss plans, I don't want the commander here any longer than need be. Don't be late." And with that, she had walked away.

She sighed, laid down and placed the sketchbook under the bed, eventually falling asleep, it wasn't until there was another knock on the door, this time it was Ryder reminding her of the meeting, she realized it was early but it was better than being late. 

She took her time strolling the hallway but nobody had showed up yet, she then realized that the door was open and walked through. Sitting in her usual seat, waiting. It wasn't long before she had grown bored and began to walk in circles, however she couldn't even complete one lap around the room before noticing a bright red circle with a  lifeless body in the middle.
