Dangerous quiet things (lexa x you)

*where have you been?; chapter 14

Lexa POV

How did she do that? What just happened?. All these questions were racing through my mind right now. After she removed her hands she revealed Anya's wound but it was healed over completely and had scarring that would of taken years. W-what, how did you do that?" I heard Nyko ask the question we were all wondering but she ignored us and went over to the water basin, she washed off Anya dark red blood and as soon as she stood back up, she fell back down.
She hit the ground with a dull thud and her head making a slightly louder noise.

"Gustus, take her to a spare tent, and restrain her" I ordered my personal guard and he did as told. "Nyko, check Anya, make sure she's alright" Nyko nodded and I left the healers tent seeing the dark sky with stars littered around and the half moon resting peacefully as if shines down at us. I walked at a regular pace towards my tent.

I entered the tent, warm air hitting my face compared to the musky cold air outside. I walked over to the map table and placed my shoulder sash over it before removing my cloak, sword and knifes. I made my way to my bed and fell backwards onto it, the fluffy furs puffing and making an outline of where I collapsed.

I reposition myself so my head is resting on the pillow, I can hear the sound of cicadas doing their nighttime noises and the few birds that are still up and doing their nighttime call. It's peaceful, unlike many things. I close my eyes and fall into a much needed sleep, (e/c) graved into my mind.

(Y/n) POV

I heard nearby rustling, the first thing I noticed is the soft, comfortable thing I was laid on top of. I heard the light thud of something being placed beside me. I started to shift, the bright streams of light coming from somewhere and landing on my face. My eyes slowly flustered open and I felt the most relaxed I have since basically forever, except when I open my eyes I remember.

I'm not safe, I'm not free. I look down at myself after realising I couldn't wipe the sleep from my eyes, I couldn't exactly see clearly but what I could make out was the ropes binding my arms and legs to the front And back of the bed I was on. What's with all these people and tying me up. Groaning, I blink my eyes a couple of times to get a clearer vision of my surroundings, the walls are made of some type of fabric going up and across from the corners, there was a table and chair, a small bedside table with a cup of water but what startled me the most was when I looked to the other side and saw some dude just staring at me, I held eye contact with him before he ducked out of the tent I was currently restrained in.

I squirmed a bit, feeling the burn of the ropes dragging on my wrists. I looked up at my wrists, 'ugh' i closed my eyes and started focusing my attention on the other side of the room and when I opened my eyes, there I was. I heard more rustling at the entrance and snapped my head towards it when something or more like someone came through.

They looked around confused until another person came through the flap behind them. Both of them looking around where the bed is "did they move the girl somewhere else?" The first guy asked the other woman "heda just told us to come in here so I doubt they'd give us the wrong directions".

This was the perfect opportunity, I slowly crept forward until I was behind them, I slowly lifted the flap, looking back at their confused and unaware selfs I let a small smile grace my lips, I turned my head back taking my first step forward, smile wiped straight off my face. It was her. Both of us now on the ground due to my lack of attention to what was in front of me. After my first step forward I crashed straight into the commander. She looked at me confused then annoyed "artigus!" She called out the two people inside the tent I was in came out, looking confused down at me "how'd that happen?" The girl asked and by now the commander was already back on her feet and all three of them were looking down at me, I took that as my cue and jumped up, now it was me looking down at them. "I thought I told you two to get her to the throne room, what happened?" Commander said while pinching the bridge of her nose before setting her steady glare at the two young warriors "we're sorry heda, when we got in there she wasn't in the bed, where were you?" The boy, artigus, asked but I didn't pay any mind to his question as I was stuck in the deep forest coloured pools of green.

Snapping back into reality by the feeling of someone grabbing my arms and holding them behind my back, I felt the stretch of the wound I have on my arm causing me to involuntary let out a hiss. I didn't like this, I didn't like the feeling of being restrained and if I'm being honest, it was defiantly something that set me off the most. Sending a small shock of electricity through both of my arms I heard I little Yelp and turned to face the other two warriors, sending my glare at them before walking away in the direction that I saw the commander start in a few seconds ago.

Entering the room all eyes were on me, but my eyes were on her, sitting in all of her regal dangerous beauty, the commander. She sat on the throne on top of a slightly raised platform, playing with a detailed dagger all while send a chilling death glare my way. She glanced to the warrior beside her whispering something to which he replied 'sha heda'.

Looking around the big tent I noticed there were about 15 other people not including lexa and I and there were about 5x the amount of people in candles, why are there so many candles? I thought. I heard someone clear their throat and I glanced that way, once again locking eyes with the commander. "We meet again" she stated, her face and voice void of any emotion. I nodded "tell me, why do you set foot on this territory in this village to be exact, after what you're people did! Burning my army alive, trespassing on trikru territory" she seethed, her voice now dripping with venom. After what MY people did, she is the one who declared war against us. I rolled my eyes at what she said but she kept looking at me expectantly, her hard glare almost enough to make me crumble. Almost. Two can play this game. Sending back a glare I could feel my anger rising and I could feel my eyes about to change.

I panicked, just at that moment the tent flap opened and two people came in, the first one was Anya and I was glad to see that she was alright, "Anya" I heard the commander greet behind me, the second was the guard that the commander whispered to before, I didn't even realise he left. "Heda" Anya said and slightly bowed her head, the commander giving her a nod and she straightened back up, glancing at me she gave me a slight nod "(y/n)" she greeted me which surprised me "how do you know her name?" The commander asked "Clarke" is all Anya said. The commander seemed to be slightly more calm with Anya's presence and I felt a weird feeling in my gut.

"Where have you been Anya? And most importantly, what happened?" Lexa asked, now basically completely ignoring my presence beside the weary eye she kept on me. "Mount weather" she stated and the people around the tent looked shocked "Clarke, (y/n) and I have been in mount weather, along with thousands of our people, kept in cages, treated like animals" Anya growled "no one ever escapes mount weather" Indra growled "their probably working with the mountain!" She seethed "I dont think they are" Anya said and I could tell lexa was interested and focused on what she was saying "if they were working with the mountain they wouldn't of tried to escape as hard as they did and they wouldn't of helped me out, their people are stuck there too, all of them. After the fire at their camp they all retreated into their ship, when we came out everything was burnt and the mountain men ambushed us" Anya was explaining it and not making us sound bad and I was surprised "and thanks to her" Anya said pointing at me "I'm still alive, I wouldn't of been if it wasn't for her" I sent a small genuine smile towards Anya and she nodded my way.

"Very well" the commander said, she was quiet for a while just thinking I assume "leave us" she said after a while, motioning for everyone to leave except Anya.

Lexa POV

"Leave us" I said and everyone except for Anya and myself. I got off my throne and walked down to Anya "how are you?" I asked "fine lexa, but we need them, they know more about the mountain weapons, I was talking with Clarke on the way, we were headed to their camp because apparently more of them fell from the sky and they have people that could help us overthrow the mountain!" I believed what Anya was saying, besides it being the thing I wanted least to do, I knew we had to. "I know Anya, but-" "Lexa, we need to do this, I know you don't want to but that girl, she's different. She created the fire, she does things and we could use that to our advantage" I nodded. I figured she could do something, it explains her and the other sky boy escaping, them defeating our army, her not being restrained on the bed, it makes sense.

"Okay" I sighed "we'll have a meeting with the skaipeople, try to make a truce, save our people" Anya sent me a grateful smile and a nod and left the tent.

This is going to be a stressful couple of weeks.
