Chapter 4
Lexa was leading the way to the tower with Aden on her left and Clarke on her right. People in Polis were staring at her in disbelief some even bowed to her. She held her chin up high but stopped when she realised Raven was not there. She looked around and seen Raven talking to Murphy the new flamekeeper apparently.
"Why are we stopping commander" asked Harper
"We will wait for the little bird" Clarke slid her hand into lexas and smiled Lexa. Even though she was jealous about the friendship formed between Lexa and Raven she loves that they have each Other.
When Raven caught up to them she looked tired
"Are you ok little bird?" Asked Lexa
"Yeah it's hard to talk to the person who shot you without wanting to kill them" she shrugged "but I like his girlfriend she's funny" Lexa glared at Murphy
"What!" She hissed "the flamekeeper is the one who did this to you?" Clarke slid her arm around lexas waist
"Leksa this is not the place to talk about this" Clarke whispered. She gave Murphy one last death glare then turned towards the tower.
"When we get to the tower you can explain to me why a person who shot not only your friend but mine as well is the new flamekeeper" Lexa snapped
"Awww I love you too raccoon" Raven joking cooed
"This is no joke little bird I will not have another flamekeeper that will betray me" she growled. Clarke held on to lexas waist tighter to reassure her. It works as Lexa because less tense as they are heading towards the tower
When they arrive at the front of the tower Bellamy Raven monty and Harper all look up in awe. Lexa grins at her new friends
.................................
Lexa throws open the throne room doors with everyone behind. Clarke rolls her eyes
"Ai hodnes I will have to teach you to open a door properly one of these days" Lexa turned and glared at her
"Mockery is"
"Not the product of a strong mind" Clarke finished for her. She raised her eyebrow which made Lexa grin but she quickly hid it. Raven walked up to Lexa and slung her arm around her shoulders laughing. Lexa rolled her eyes
"Raccoon this place is amazing, I can not believe you have an elevator! An actual elevator!" Raven said in awe.
"Wow!" Said monty
"This is unreal!" Said Harper. Aden walked up beside Lexa and smiles at her. When Murphy and emori enter the room she stops smiling and glared at him.
"Octavia Kom Skaikru you and Lincoln take the nightbloods to the first floor and tell the kitchen hands to serve dinner for them and everyone else, make sure they are made aware you are with child and that child is a nightblood"
"Yes heda" she replied
"Can I go also commander" asked Bellamy
"Oh us too!" Said monty and Monroe
"Sha" the three of them left and when the door shuts she turns to Murphy
"Flamekeeper come" she directed Murphy to the balcony. Clarke stepped forward infront of Murphy
"No Murphy stay there" she said firmly. She looked back at Lexa who had her head tilted "you are not kicking him off the tower leksa" Murphys eyes widened. Emori stepped forward to hold his hand. And Raven chuckled at the ridiculousness at her best friend
"Flamekeeper as you are aware Lexa will be heda again I will step down and she will not be challenged" Aden said with his chin held high and his chest puffed out
"Sha" Murphy replied
"It will be done tonight when I will also inform the other ambassadors"
"Sha" Murphy replied again.
"Aden I do not trust this man" growled Lexa. Clarke stepped up to Lexa
"Do you trust me leksa" she asked softly
"I am not questioning your trust klark"
"Yes you are. It was me who suggested to Titus to train Murphy. Do you think I would put you in harms way" Lexa clentched her jaw
"No" she said lowly. Murphy moved forward towards Lexa
"I have done some terrible things since landing heda but so has everyone else. I have not had the opportunity to prove myself, I have been wrongly accused almost Hung almost beaten to death by the former flamekeeper" he sighed. "I shot Raven out of fear it was not intentional"
"You left with jaha" accused Raven. He looked up with hurt eyes
"Because no one else wanted me around" he said sadly. Emori moved forward and held his hand again. Lexa moved down the steps infront of Murphy
"I do not know you why should I trust that you will be loyal to me" Lexa said in a low threatening voice
"I don't expect you to think for a second that I would be loyal to you cause you are right you don't know me you have no reason to trust me and vice versa. But I am loyal to Clarke. We have had our ups and downs but I would die for her and since she is In love with you I will be loyal to you as well. I didn't like Titus not one bit you know since he beat and tortured me but I respect the flame and the fact that that thing in the back of heda adens neck keeps society in place and if there's one thing you can be sure of is that I want to live. In peace." He said not once looking away from Lexa his soon to be commander. She nodded
"Very well. Flamekeeper" she turned and walked to stand by Clarke again "I suppose we both need to work on gaining each others trust" she linked her hand in Clarkes. "But you if you hurt Raven again I will slit your throat" Murphy gulped and Raven came and slung her arm around lexas shoulders again.
"Don't worry raccoon I think emori will keep him in line. I like her" emori chuckled
"Flamekeeper make arrangements for tonight" Aden said
"Sha heda" he bowed and left with emori trailing behind. Clarke pressed up against lexas side and wrapped her arms around her waist she kissed Lexa on the cheek then her neck.
"Gross princess at least wait till I'm not hugging her before you start" Raven rolled her eyes and moved away.
"You are just jealous little bird do not worry I will let Bellamy know where you will be sleeping" Raven felt the heat rush to her face and turned so they couldn't see
"Really! Bellamy!" Clarke laughed
"Shut up princess, where am I sleeping by the way"
"On this floor" Lexa replied quickly
"Oh hell no I am not staying near your room listening to you and the princess have sex all night long!" Raven said throwing her hands in the air. Clarke smiled
"You will be at the end of the floor you will not be able to hear little bird and your sleeping arrangements are not up for discussion" Raven looked shocked and Clarke just smirked
"Are you commanding me raccoon?" She asked shocked. Lexa moved towards Raven and kicked out her crutches. She then picked up Raven and threw her over her shoulder. "What the hell you crazy raccoon put me down" Raven could hear Clarke laughing "princess tell her to put me down" Clarke ignored her as Lexa threw open the door and walked to the end of the hall where Raven would be staying. She kicked opened the bedroom door and moved to the bed where she threw Raven gently on the bed
"This is where you will be staying" said Lexa firmly leaving no room for discussion. Clarke came into the room with Ravens crouches and put them beside the bed. She moved behind Lexa and hugged her waist and layed a kiss on the back of her neck
"Why don't I get a say!" Raven sad loudly Lexa ignored her and looked away shyly. Clarke chuckled and stepped around Lexa to stand in front of Raven
"Ray Lexa protects the people she cares about that means keeping them close" Lexa groaned
"I can speak for myself klark" Lexa said annoyed
"Then speak leksa" Clarke replied amused at her lovers shyness. Lexa rolled her eyes and looked at Raven she cleared her throat
"What klark said" is all she replied. This made Raven laugh and Clarke joined her. Lexa huffed and started to leave the room embarrassed but Clarke quickly stood up and threw her arms around her shoulder nuzzling into her neck. She held lexas face in her hands.
"You don't need to be embarrassed Ai hodnes. You love Raven like a sister. You can tell her that without feeling like this and usually you ask someone you care about their opinion instead of demanding and not giving choices " Clarke kissed her on the lips to reassure her. Raven got her crutches and walked towards them. Raven stood there with her arms crossed and a smirk on her face. Lexa turned towards Raven and rolled her eyes.
"Little black bird" she said through clenched teeth. "I would like it if you would stay on the top level"
"Why?" Raven asked with a grin on her face. Lexa but the inside of her cheek.
"Because you are like the sister I never wanted" Lexa said. Raven laughed and moved forward to hug Lexa.
"I love you to Lexa" She said laughing. Then she started to peck lexas cheeks dramatically while making kissing noises, Lexa groaned and tried to push Raven away . When she got out of her hold she wiped her face. Raven and Clarke were laughing.
"That's disgusting little bird" she growled playfully
"Yes but you love me" Raven replied. Lexa walked up to Clarke and kissed her on the lips
"Tell her to keep her lips to herself Ai hodnes. That's disturbing" Lexa said as she left the room still wiping her face. Clarke chuckled and followed her out.
