Love is strength

Chapter 1

Lexa

I had respected Clarke's wishes of not seeing me for two weeks. I came in her room to talk about our meeting in the throne room today, but Clarke wasn't in her room.

Raven had been staying at Polis to repair the place and she wanted to avoid everyone that was involved with Alie. Clarke was normally spending time with Raven since she got here, I knocked on Ravens door and waited for her to come, she was always sleeping in late. I heard rumbling in the room and soon Raven answered, half naked, messy hair, and bags under her eyes. Shocked I looked at her, that's the first. "Um is Clarke in there by any chance?"

Raven looked back in her room, "One moment Commander" Clarke peeked at me with nothing but a blanket covering her body. Was the girl I loved sleeping with someone? And out of them all Raven? That should've been me in that room with Clarke. I felt jealousy creep in me. "Get dressed Clarke we have a meeting to attend to discuss our plan." "Yes, Commander" Clarke mumbled, she wasn't a big fan of the meetings.

Trying to process what I had just seen I walked back into the throne room. Waiting for the room to fill, thoughts rushed through my head. Banish Raven. Kill Raven. Get her out of Clarke's life. I closed my eyes and shut them out, if I did such thing it would be obvious to Clarke I felt something for her, the guards who were behind me would know as well, and well they would chatter around Polis and everyone would consider me weak for feeling something for an Ambassador. Especially Skaikru. I would most likely be killed. And if I die everything in this world goes to hell.

I calmed myself. Titus stood on my right, Indra on my left, Two guards down two steps in front of me. Everyone came in and bowed. "Today we are changing things, we are making a deal with Skaikru." I heard whispers, an Ambassador spoke, "We should be killing every last one of them!" More whispers filled the room. I held my hand up, "For peace once and for all we will be welcoming Skaikru as the 13th clan." Everyone with confused expressions, whispers left and right. "If there is a problem we can have a word on the balcony!" I yelled. The room went silent, they knew what that meant.

"Members of Skaikru will show at dawn for the welcoming in. You are dismissed!" Everyone bowed and left the room. Clarke was about to exit, "A word Clarke?" I asked she turned around and faced me, her blue eyes sparkled in the light of the sun, she was so beautiful. "Yes Commander?" I snapped back into reality, "The only way you're people will accept the offer is if they see you bowl to me" she was hesitant "I don't exactly have a choice" I nodded. "You're dismissed."
