Chapter 10
Clarke woke and was blinded by bright light. She opened her eyes and was meant with a clear blue sky. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. She was lying in a field near a cliff. It was a cliff looking over Polis. Near the cliff sat a woman. A woman with dirty blonde hair. She turned her head to Clarke. Clarke gasped
"Anya!"
"Skai girl" anya smirked. Clarke slowly got to her feet and walked to the cliff. She sat down near the fallen warrior.
"Anya?" Clarke said again. She went to reach for anya to check if she was real but anya turned to her
"If you want to keep those fingers Skai girl. Keep them to yourself" she said playfully. Clarke smiled and pulled her hand away
"How are you here anya?" She asked
"You are here with me skai girl" Clarke closed her eyes and blinked away her tears
"Am I dead?" She asked sadly
"No" anya replied simply.
"Where am I" anya rolled her eyes
"You are where you go before your spirit passes"
"Oh" she said she turned and looked to Polis and smiled thinking for her green eyes goddess
"It is beautiful is it not?" Anya said softly
"Sha. What am I doing here?" Clarke asked anya confused. "Am I going to die?" anya scoffed and rolled her eyes
"Yes Skai girl everyone dies eventually"
"No i mean now?"
"That's up to you" Clarke sighed she was getting annoyed. Anya saw this "this place is here for when a persons spirit wants to cross over, Loved ones wait sometimes for a life time to cross over with their loved ones so they can start their next life together.
"Well no offence anya but you are not my loved one" she said defensively
"That's just rude kiddo where are your manners" Clarke jumped to her feet and turned around. There standing was her father. She ran to him and he hugged her tight. She cried as he smoothed her hair and whispering reassurances in her ear. He lead them over to where anya was sitting who was unaffected by the reunion. He looked over at Polis "earth is even more beautiful then I could imagine" he said in awe
"Dad? What am I doing here? What are you both doing here?"
"I am waiting for Lexa" anya said causally. Clarke stood up quickly
"No anya! You can't take her! It's not her time please take me instead!" She pleaded she dropped down on her knees in front of anya. "Beja" she pleaded
"Kiddo. Calm down it's not what you think" Jake said through laughter. Anya smirked at her
"It is not lexas time yet Skai girl I am simply waiting cause she is my family and I want to make sure we live in the next life together."
"Thank god!" Clarke exclaimed. Jake chuckled. She moved up beside him and wrapped an arm around her shoulders
"You got it bad kiddo" he stated. Clarke nudged him in the ribs.
"Why am I here dad?" He sighed and held her tightly
"Because you have a choice kiddo a choice that not many others a gifted with but the universe if repaying you for the good you have done. You can choose to live or you could move on or wait here" Clarke looked at him.
"If I choose to go would you come with me?" He smiled
"I sure would" he said to her but he looked sad. She looked to the Polis tower and thought of Lexa.
"I'm sorry dad. I can't leave leksa"
"Hey don't be sorry! I'm glad you want to live kiddo" he said proudly. "I wish I could have meant her" she smiled at him
"I think you would have liked her dad. She is the most amazing person I have ever come across. She is kind and fair and loyal. She is so strong. She is breathtaking"
"Well kiddo us griffins have great taste" Clarke laughed and punched him in the arm "I like her kiddo cause she makes you happy" Clarke nodded. Jake stood up and held out his hand. "Come on its time for you to go now" Clarke hugged him.
"I wish you could be there with me dad. You would love earth. You would love Lexa. It's not fair that you aren't there with us" she said through sobs. He held her by the shoulders
"I know sweetheart" he wiped the tears from her face "but I'll always be with you here" he pointed to her heart. "I am so proud of the woman you have become" he beamed. She hugged him again. "I will wait for you and your mother Clarke I'll wait and we will meet in the next lifet. But I will wait. I love you" he kissed her forehead. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around. Anya was looking at her.
"Take care of her Skai girl" Clarke smiled at her
"Always" she said. She quickly moved towards anya and hugged her tight. Anya went stiff but then slowly returned the hug. She removed herself. "I know you are waiting for Lexa so we will most likely be in our next life together anya. I hope I get more time to know you then" anya smirked.
"Maybe you won't be as annoying in the next life Skai girl" Clarke laughed
"It's time to go kiddo" Jake said.
"Where?" She asked looking around. Then she felt a blinding pain though her chest. All she seen was white. She took a big gulp of air and opened her eyes. She saw her mother who was shining a torch in her eyes. She had tears streaming down her face. She felt something on her cheek. A hand. It was soft and warm. She closed her eyes and lent into the hand. She knew that hand. She opened opened her eyes to see Lexa who had been crying. She looked so sad and scared
"Klark? Klark can you hear me?" Lexa pleaded. Clarke smiled at her
"Leksa. Marry me?" Lexa smiled and tears fell down her face. Then she saw black again.
