The Sky People [The 100]

Frenemies

"You," Clarke mutters in disbelief as she stares at me, I open my mouth to speak but snap it shut, do I trust her? "What's your name?" Clarke asks taking three steps towards me. I stay silent with a frown resting on my face, I'm starting to regret this decision, "do you speak English?" Clarke asks me taking a hesitant step forward, "Do you speak at all?" She continues to fire questions at me and I decide to speak, "Lexa," my voice breaks slightly so I try again, "my name is Lexa. You are Clarke." I say bluntly, this is the first time in years I have been scared of someone. "Yes, how do you know who I am?" Clarke asks continuing to step towards me although this time I take four steps back, "are you the one who speared Jasper?" Clarke asks more questions, "it's not safe for us to talk." I say shaking my head and taking more vigorous steps back, "what? Why?" Clarke looks confused as she tries to keep up with me, I shake my head once more before turning and sprinting away weaving through the trees so Clarke can't follow my trail.

When I reach my village I stand still trying to catch my breath, why did I do that?! I groan in frustration as I crouch down to the ground still panting.

I sigh closing my eyes for a second and running my hands over my hair before I force myself to stand up and walk to the river to wash.

It's dark out now and most of my clan is asleep or walking around the safety of the village, but I always wash at night as I hate being caught up in the rush when everyone washes. I carefully place my clothes on top of my jacket on the ground and jump into the river in my underwear with a splash.

I close my eyes as I resurface and let my body float, the water running over my body delicately. I sigh as I begin washing my face removing the black from around my eyes and scrubbing the dirt from my nails.

I relax my body as I continue to wash the mud from my skin, "Bellamy! Bellamy you can't just leave me here!" I frown as I turn to look in the direction of the voice screaming in the distance, what are they doing now?

I groan as I decide to leave it giving myself the satisfaction of a break from looking after them.

I make my way back into camp silently trying not to wake anyone, I breath out loudly when I finally reach the safety of my hut managing to avoid anyone or Anya for that matter.

I stumble over to my bed and fall back on it, I shouldn't have done that, I should not have done that. What made me think that talking to Clarke was a good idea? I just put the Sky People and myself in danger. Ugh!

If my people find out I will be put to death, or banished. I wish I never did that but I can't take it back now. What's done is done, I will just have to keep my secret safe.

I easily remove my boots, jacket and jeans, falling asleep in my long sleeved top and my underwear.

"Lexa!" I jump awake hearing the familiar voice of Anya shouting on me. I reluctantly roll out my bed and put on my clothes and armour, leaving the paint I jog out my hut, "Lexa!" Anya shouts once more and I see her standing near the top of the village so I pick up my speed and make my way over to her.

"Lexa finally," she speaks breathing out in relief, "there is a lot of shouting coming from the Sky People why?" She asks folding her arms and getting straight to the point. "The boy I speared was not fully healed when they came for him and they don't know how to heal him," I stat in a monotone voice, "he's dying." I continue as though it's obvious.

"Good, one less to worry about. Go and watch them anyway I want to know everything they are doing." Anya tells me and with a nod she walks away brushing past my shoulder as she goes. I silently roll my eyes before turning around and walking to my hut to pick up my weapons and put my warrior paint on.
