Promised to Fight

Chapter 6

Planning

Clarke's PoV :

I wake to the sun beaming at my face, I quitlely groan and then open my eyes, Lexa arm is wrapped firmly around my waist as of she's trying to protect me and keep me safe. This is the first time in a while I've woken before Lexa, she allways awake and working.
In one swift movement I turn to Lexa, I watch as she sleeps peaceful, I love seeing this side of Lexa the non Commander side. The where she just want to hold you in her arms to make sure your safe or how if I'm sad or upset she'd never leave my side. She's almost like a different person when it's just us, she allows me to see her emotions which she says makes her less of a leader but I say it make her stronger.

I brush a stray strand of hair from her face and smile at her pure beauty, I gently place a soft kiss on her forehead when to door knock.

Quick and carefully I pull away from Lexa careful not to wake her.
Throwing on a pair of trousers I walk to the door, I open it to see Octavia, she gives me a confused looks and then walks in.

"Your awake?" she questions

"shh.." i say pointing to the bed we're Lexa lays fast asleep.

"yes I'm awake, why?" I ask harshly, maybe a little too harsh but she doesn't seem to care she brushes it off and continues what she's says.

I can see her thinking before she start to talk "well I was actually here to talk to you anyway, I was wondering if you had any information about when we have to go back to Arkadia" her voice seem quite weak as though she may have been crying. I gesture towards the couches and we both take a seat.

"Lexa hasn't told me anything about that, I believe she wants us to say here in Polis?" I say quickly glimpsing over to my sleeping girlfriend.

"we need to go back Clake, our family's are there, Bellamy, Abby and everyone else" she say in a raised tone I shoot her a look as to say 'be quite' and she lower here head.

"I know, I how do you expect I go back O, I was shoot and I'm still recovering I can't fight if that what it comes to?" my vocie shakes I hate feeling this weak I make me feel useless and vulnerable, two feelings I hate.

"I know but I mean once your better I believe we should head to Arkadia and take pike out ourselves" She sounds so determined to kill pike and yet I feel nothing, I don't feel driven to kill him or get rid of him all I want is to be here with Lexa. It would be nice to see my mum and Raven and the other again.

"I'll talk to Lexa about it once she wake as for now I suggest we keep working on a plan so when we get back to Arkadia we can kill Pike" I say this time feel more determined, maybe that what I need a task a goal to reach and killing Pike can be that goal.

Octavia leave soon after, I get dressed and stand at the balcony looking over Polis, it really is beautiful in the early morning when is sky's filled with a pinky orange colour and a light blue take the sky. We never saw anything this beautiful on the Ark it was always dark, you never really new when it was morning or night we just followed a pattern and assumed it was right.

Suddenly I feel a pair of cold hand wrap around my waist making me jump ever so slightly, I feel safe instantly as Lexa head rest on my shoulder, she kiss the crock of my neck and I spin to face her, she has this bright smile on her face.

"morning Hodnes (love)" our face our only inches apart and I can feel her looking at my lips, I look to her when I decide to cover the space, our lips crash together and I take the lead, which Lexa allows for a few moments before fighting me for dominance.
The kiss only break when air becomes an essential and both pant, I chuckle and Lexa dose the same.

"I love you Clarke" she softly says with a loving smile, I can see just but looking in her beautiful green eyes she mean it.

"I love you too Lexa" she smile wider and then place a hand on my cheek gently rubbing it with her thumb, I place my hand over her and nuzzle into her touch she make me feel a way no one on in the entire universe has ever made me feel, safe and loved truly loved.

"I have a meeting with leader of the twelve clan, I could take a while, I'm sorry" her vocie seem filled with emotion as if she hate the idea and just want to stay here I can tell by the look in her eye she doesn't want to go to the meet though she has no choice.

"it okay, I'll explore Polis some more maybe stroll around the market get to know some new people" I say with a smile Lexa returns the smile before placing another kiss on my lips and head of the get dressed.

Once she leave for her meeting I meet with Octavia about a plane to kill Pike and get Arkadia back to how it should be the Thirteenth clan.
