Lexa POV
Making my way to medical and passing through the many metal hallways illuminated with a bright white light that shines down from above and every now and then it flickers, strange, the sun doesn't flicker.

Seeing someone heading down the way I'm headed, they look like their on their way to something important by the speed of their footsteps. Looking back ahead and looking at all the doors I'm passing, waiting till I see one with a green cross. Despite not knowing what the cross meant I remember their medical room having it printed on the outside of the door.

"Hey!" I heard someone yell from behind me but paying no mind to, assuming they were talking to someone else. "Hey grounder!" The same person yelled and I was sure that they were now talking to me. Stopping my steps and turning around, keeping my face as emotionless as always.

"Yeah you!" He yelled again while he was walking over my way. Letting out a sigh, waiting for his short legs to complete the 12 metre journey my way. 'This is wasting my time, I should be talking to y/n right now!'. Finally finishing making his way over to me so that now he was about 1 foot and a half away from my face but I still had to look down because of his height, he was just glaring at me so I decided to speak. "What is it? Skaiboy" I said lowly, not intending to be threatening but that was just a bonus I guess, seeing him cower back slightly.

"I'm not a boy" he growled trying to be threatening, ow I hurt his ego. 'you're actually a bitch but I was trying to be nice' i wanted to say instead but fought the urge and said "well you're not really a man" and he was clearly getting annoyed. "Whatever" he sneered "you don't belong here" hearing him say it was quite amusing and he was kind of pathetic. No one tells heda where she can and can't go.

A/n). You already know I had to add lexa talking about herself in 3rd person.

"I don't belong here?" I replied, repeating what he just said "yeah, this is our land, you don't belong here. We should've declared war against you and you're people as soon as we got down here!" One side of me was honestly pursing my lips as to not chuckle but the other side, the other side was fuming, how can there be people like this. "And you think you and you're people would win a battle against the army of the 12 clans? I'll answer that for you, of course not. You have what, 500 people and out of which only about 150 are trained for anything of the kind of battle, my people have hundreds of thousands and over 90% of them are heavily trained warriors, we would've absolutely demolished skaikru" I growled back. I wouldn't of wanted a war to begin with, I worked to hard for peace and my coalition to just throw it away because a couple of hundred people fell from the skai.

He was fuming "as much as I'd like to stay back and listen to you criticise my people, I have more important things to attend to" with that, I turned and went to walk away. Ohh, not so fast' the voice in my head said when he grabbed my shoulder and spun me around. Narrowing my eyes at him and my lips moved into a sneer "what?" I spat at him "we're not done till I say we're done" he growled "I'm heda, no one tells me what to do, I could have you skinned alive for speaking to me like this" his eyes widen then went back to normal quickly but I could still see the fear coating his eyes.

He reached down and yanked a knife out of its holster on my thigh before I could react, pulling me forward and pressing the knife against my neck "you are heda no longer" he sneered into my ear but before he could move a mussel I had spun him around and now I am the one who holds the knife. Pushing him backwards so that his back hit the cold metal wall of the ark, the only things heard were the scruff sound of my boots on the metal and a few grunts before the clang of him hitting the wall.

Pressing th knife against his throat "Yu gonplei ste oden" I whispered and his entire face was contorted in fear. "Heda!" I heard someone yell but didn't turn "Lexa stop!" They yelled and I let out a huff before throwing the guy to the ground and sheathing my knife back on my thigh. "Briley! What were you doing?!" It was Octavia. Briley, his name was, got off the floor and shoved Octavia away from him and stormed down the hall "ugh, I'm sorry commander, we'll deal with Him later" Octavia spoke and I nodded "thank you" I said and she nodded "what are you doing down here anyway?" She asked "I need to speak with y/n" I answered, I think I'm lost, I would never say that out loud. "Oh well, I'm on my way there right now, I can show you where to go" she said and I nodded "alright, follow me" turning and walking down where I was headed, I followed closely behind the small skaigirl.

Y/n POV

Sitting up in bed, the annoying beeping sound that I would here every now and again. I don't even need to be in here but Abby doesn't seem to get that. Hearing the door on medical click I perked up, being here alone is driving me crazy. Seeing octavia and lexa walk into the door but Octavia grabbed lexas arm, pulling her back slightly and whispering something in her ear before leaving and closing the door behind her. Now having just lexa and I in the room I was confused. She started walking over to me and I scooted back a little making room for her to sit. She did. She was silent for a few minutes and I was confused, last time I checked we weren't really on good terms. "I'm sorry" she spoke and I was surprised not only was she saying sorry but it was her, commander of the 12 clans, she didn't have to say sorry to anyone and I was stuck on was she was apologising for. "For what happened, you know, before you were taken by the mountain. If I had known you didn't speak...I'm sorry, I really don't know what to say" she said and looked down. I placed my cold hand on top of hers, my hand instantly getting warmer, she looked up at me and I gave her a small nod 'everything is fine, I'm used to it' her eyebrows furrowed and she looked confused but shook her head. Suddenly frowning she said "you're used to it? What do you mean?" She asked and I just shook my head, she nodded and looked somewhere else in the room.

We were just sitting in comfortable silence for a bit, it was nice, I was staring at her while she was looking off somewhere else. Hearing the door click again, we both looked up, seeing Abby and Jackson walk in and look over to us, they looked surprised to see lexa in here. "Oh, uh, are we interrupting something?" Abby asked and Jackson had a raised eyebrow but a tiny smile on his face. "Uhh, no" lexa said and stood up. Abby nodded but I could tell she knew something was up. "Okay, well, we just came in here to tell you, y/n, that you should get some sleep and tomorrow you're clear to go" my face lit up a bunch I could tell, I had been in here for only 2-3 days but that was too damn long "so, lexa, if we could ask you t9 please leave, so y/n can get some rest, that would be great" Abby said and lexa nodded. Lexa looked back at me "reshop y/n" she said and I nodded, despite not knowing her language, I knew what she said 'goodnight lexa' she nodded my way before leaving the medical room along with Abby and Jackson.

I can't wait to get out of this room. Was what I thought before falling into a light sleep.

Sorry for this shitty chapter, I know it wasn't that good and I'm sorry.
