Chapter 2
"Sha do you know her klark" klark swallowed the lump in her throat. She desperately needs a drink of water. She feels she has nothing to be ashamed about. When she slept with niylah it was when she wasn't with Lexa. Lexa had just broke her heart. But she can't really tell Lexa in front of everyone that she knows niylah in an intimate way, that's a private discussion that needs to be had between her and Lexa but they aren't too far off now till the trading post and honestly she had no idea how Lexa would react to the news that she slept with her friend.
"Klark?" Clarke snapped out of her thoughts and remembered that Lexa had asked her a question
"Ah yes I have run into her a few times. How do you know her?" Clarke said nervously
"We grew up in the same village" Clarke could see Lexa reminiscing as Lexa smiled and looked to the car roof. She again tried to swallow the lump in her throat but her mouth is dry. 'They are childhood friends!' Clarke thinks. She squeezes her eyes shut.
When she opens her eyes she looks at Raven who is looking at her with a frown. The car stops. Clarke can feel the nerves in her stomach and Raven noticed. Bellamy monty and Aden get out of the front of the car to open the back so everyone could get out. Clarke and Raven are the last ones out. Raven grabs Clarkes hand
"Clarke can you stay and help?"
"I can help little bird" Lexa says as she moves into the car
"No raccoon you go greet your friend Clarke can help right Clarke?" Clarke nods nervously
"Ok" replies Lexa. She moves to Clarkes side and kisses her on the cheek. "I will see you both inside Sha?" And she moved out. Raven sat up looking at Clarke waiting for an explanation.
"Cmon princess what's going on?"
"I slept with niylah" she mumbled
"WHAT!" Raven yelled "WHEN?"
"Raven quiet please!" Clarke said in a whisper yell
"Please tell me it was before everything Clarke" Clarke looked at Raven shocked
"Of course Raven! I would never be unfaithful to Lexa. I could never hurt her like that. I love her" Raven sighed
"Thank fuck! ok tell me what happened and when"
"It was after the mountain the night before king sleazy took me to Polis" Raven nodded
"Just the once?"
"Yes"
"You need to tell her Clarke you need to do it before she accidentally hears it for niylah" Clarke moved out of the car and helped Raven down. She picked up the crutches and gave them to her.
"I know but seriously I don't know how she will react to this" she said exasperated
"Who will react to what" Lexa said. Clarke quickly turned and faced Lexa. Beside Lexa stood niylah who's eyes where wide open with shock
"Clarke?" Niylah said
"Ah hi" she awkwardly waved. She turned her head so she didn't have to look at her. Lexa moved forward and put her hands on Clarkes hips to get her attention. Clarke looked into those forest green eyes and felt nothing but guilt in this moment.
"Ai hodnes what is wrong?" Lexa asked concerned
"Ai hodnes?" Niylah said still shocked
"Niylah is it?" Said Raven
"Sha" said niylah
"Why don't you show me inside so these two can talk?"
"I think I should be here for that" niylah snapped
"Why?" Asked Lexa "what is wrong? How do you two know each other?" Asked Lexa. She is getting annoyed. Everyone goes silent. She looks to niylah who looks nervous and Raven who looks uncomfortable and then back to Clarke who looks guilty. She steps back from Clarke. Clarke tries to reach for her but Lexa holds up her hand to signal her to stop. "How" she says in a low voice. Clarke moved forward but again Lexa stepped back.
"Leksa let me explain" Clarke said calmly. Lexa turned toward niylah. She grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against the car. "No Leksa stop!" Clarke yelled.
"Raccoon please let her explain!" Raven said desperately. But Lexa couldn't hear them she can only see the woman in front of her. She squeezed her hand tighter around niylah throat. Clarke put her hands around lexas waist and used all her strength to pull her back. They both stumbled to the ground. Niylah slid to the ground holding her neck and grasping for air.
"When!" Lexa growled
"After the mountain Leksa please calm down!" Clarke said desperately trying to hold down Lexa.
"I told you! I told you in letters what I felt for her, this is why I do not trust anyone!" Lexa said with a lump in her throat. Raven moved towards Lexa and Clarke she held out her hand to Lexa. Lexa looked up at Raven
"Raccoon, I would never hurt you. Neither would Clarke, take a walk and cool off then listen to what they have to say" Lexa shook her head, she could feel Clarke trying to hug her but she shook her off and took Ravens hand and stood up
"No I do not want to hear what they have to say" Lexa said as she was walking away.
Clarke stayed on the floor and had her hands covering her face. Hiding her tears.
"Did you know who Clarke was to Lexa when you slept with her" Clarke heard Raven ask niylah. She stayed still decided to listen to upset to move
"No. I would never have touched her if I thought for even a second that wanheda was lexas Clarke" Raven nodded and looked at Clarke who she could hear sobbing.
"Where you two together when we slept together wanheda" asked niylah with bite. Clarke sat up and looked at niylah with tear stained cheeks and red eyes.
"No we weren't" she replied harshly. Niylah looked relieved. Clarke finally got up and started walking toward where she seen Lexa walk but Raven held on to her arm
"Let her cool off first princess" Clarke nodded as they headed towards the trading post
..............................
Clarke was sitting at the table in the trading post. She was slumped forward with her head resting on her arm. It had been 2 hours since Lexa had taken a walk. She was starting to worry which was starting to make her tired. Raven happily looked through the trading post pointing out all the things from the old world and explaining them to the nightbloods. Clarke sighed. She felt someone sit next to her but was to upset to look.
"Are you ok Clarke" asked Aden. Afraid to talk without crying Clarke just shrugged. Aden placed his hand on her shoulder and gave it a squeeze then left the table.
..........................
Lexa kicked the trading post door open. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up. She saw Clarke slumped against the table. Clarke looked up slowly. She rolled her eyes at Lexa. Niylah came and stood in front of her
"Lexa you hav-" niylah started but was interrupted by Lexa
"Niylah osir will gonplei kom wamplei" everyone gasped. Clarke stood up from the table and rushed forward. She had enough. She was angry. She pushed niylah out of the way grabbed lexas hand in a firm grip and dragged her to the back of the trading post where she knew niylah slept. She pushed Lexa in and shut the door.
Lexa started pacing. Clarke stood there with her arms crossed. She stepped forward and stood in lexas way so they were nose to nose.
"You have no right to be angry leksa. I had sex with niylah after you left me at mount weather. We were not together!" Lexa flinched. She tried to walk to the door but Clarke stood in her way
"Move Clarke" she said through gritted teeth
"No! I have done nothing wrong and neither has niylah" Lexa stepped forward into Clarkes space now they were chest to chest
"Nothing wrong? You slept with each other and she knew how much you meant to me. I wrote her everyday about how much I loved and missed you how I wished that things could have been different at the mountain she knew and she betrayed me and so have you" Clarke pushed Lexa by the shoulder and started backing her up towards the bed.
"You listen to me leksa kom trikru. Niylah did. Not. Know who I was. I told no one my name. I told know one who the hell I was. I changed my hair colour and I dressed not like Skaikru anymore. I didn't want to be found! Niylah guessed that I was wanheda. She fixed the wound on my back caused by a panther I slept with her to forget you. I slept with her to forget what I did in that mountain. I slept with her cause it was the first time in 3 months that I had any human interaction. It was once. It meant nothing to me. Then the next day roan dragged me to Polis to you!" She poked Lexa in her chest and Lexa fell back on the bed. Clarke looked down to Lexa she cupped her cheek "I love you you stubborn woman" Clarke said softly "There will be no fight to the death. You will talk to your childhood friend then you will find me to apologise for your idiotic behaviour and for leaving me for two hours to worry" Lexa swallowed the lump in her throat and Clarke stepped back and left the room. She went and sat back at the table. Lexa walked out of the room and left the trading post with niylah following behind her.
.........................
Lexa was sitting against a tree after her alteration with Clarke. She jumped when she heard a twig snap. She held up her knife when she seen it was niylah
"Get out of here before I end your life niylah!" She growled out
"Lexa you have it all wrong I did not know who Clarke was, she never gave me her name. I knew her as wanheda but you did not tell me in your letters that Clarke was wanheda. I am sorry Lexa" Lexa could see the honesty in her eyes. She lowered her knife and turned her back towards niylah. "I am so happy you are alive old friend. My heart broke when I heard of your downfall. I'm glad you are alive."
"You slept with my love how am I ever going to look at you again" she huffed
"I didn't know" niylah moved forward and put her hand on her shoulder but that was a mistake cause Lexa turned and punched her in the face. Niylah stumbled back but stood up straight. "That's enough" she growled. She moved forward and punched Lexa right back. Lexa held her cheek and smirked. They then started laying in to each other till they were both sore bloody and breathless in the dirt. "You are just as crazy as her" niylah joked. Lexa laughed and niylah laughed with her.
"I forgive you" Lexa said
"Good" niylah replied
......................
Everyone was packing the car when they heard laughter. They all looked towards the forest and seen Lexa and niylah stumble out of a shrub laughing. They were both bloody and beaten. Clarke lent against the car with her arms crossed. She shook her head. Lexa stopped laughing when she saw Clarke who looked angry. She moved towards her
"Really leksa? I tell you to talk and you decide to fight"
"Sha but not to the death Ai hodness" niylah chuckled but stopped when Clarke glared at her. She walked off quickly. Clarke moved towards Lexa and touched the bruises on her face lightly and then the cut on her lip. Lexa leaned into the touch. She put her hands on Clarkes waist
"I am sorry klark. I got jealous I was not thinking clearly. I am sorry I made you worry" Lexa said sincerely
"And I am sorry you were hurt even though I have nothing to be sorry for. I don't like it when you hurt leksa" leksa smiled and kissed Clarke softly. Clarke moved her hands up to cup lexas cheek then pushed in her tongue. Lexa moaned and pushed Clarke up against the car. She started sucking and biting Clarkes neck. Clarke was out of breath from the kissing so she couldn't find the words to tell Lexa to stop. Lexa put her leg against Clarkes centre and Clarke moaned. Clarke new things were getting out of hand and her friends were in earshot so they had to stop. She cupped lexas cheek and lent her forehead against lexas
" Ai hod Yu in yu op en nou moun" Clarke said
"I love you also klark and no one else"
"And I would love you both if you would stop with the lovey dovey crap" Raven groaned the children peeked around the car and started giggling. Lexa and Clarke smiled at each other and gave each other another kiss. Then they all got in the car on there way to Polis
Niylah osir will gonplei kom wamplei : niylah we will fight to death
Ai hod Yu in yu op en nou moun : I love you and no other
