Chapter 13
Raven knocked on lexas bedroom door.
"Enter" said Lexa. It has been 7 days now that Clarke has been unconscious. Lexa looks tired and has lost a bit of weight. Raven has spent everyday in and out of the room trying to get Lexa to sleep eat and shower. Some days she is successful other days like today she is not. This would be the third time today that Raven has bought up food for Lexa who says she will eat but when Raven returns, the food is still untouched. Lexa was sitting beside the bed holding Clarkes hand as she has been the last 7 days. Raven sighed and shook her head
"Hey raccoon you see what I did just then?" Lexa looked up to her slowly with a frown on her face
"No" she said quietly. Raven place the food on the table beside Lexa
"Ok watch" Raven walked out of the room knocked then entered again "you see that?That is how you open a door" she said playfully. Lexa smiled and then chuckled and then did what she has been doing for the past 7 days. She lied her head down on Clarkes arm and looked at her face. Raven grinned happy to at least get a smile and a laugh out of her. She sat down beside her and started rubbing her back. "Come on lex you have to eat" she said softly. Lexa ignored her.
"I am not hungry" she said tiredly. Raven grabbed the bread roll from the tray
"Come on just some bread and I'll leave you alone" Lexa sighed then sat up slowly. She could barely keep her eyes opened. She looked at the bread roll Raven held out in front of her. She rolled her eyes and took it. She pulled little bits off and slowly ate it. "Talk to me. What is going on in the crazy head of yours" Raven could see the tears building up in her eyes. She took lexas hand "come on now you know you don't have to hide your tears from me" Lexa bottom lip trembled as a tear rolled down her face. Raven moved closer and wiped it off. "Talk" she said softly
"Sister I can not lose her" Lexa voice cracked. Raven pulled Lexa to her side and held on to her tightly. She was sad that Lexa was hurting but couldn't help feel happy that Lexa just called her sister.
"You won't. Listen to me. Abby is not just a doctor she is Clarkes mother. If she says Clarke will wake up she means it"
"It has been seven days little bird. Seven"
"I know it has but abby said she lost a lot of blood but she will be ok. You on the other hand may not be if you don't eat and sleep how do you think Clarke will react when I tell her" Lexa snapped her head towards Raven with a concerned look
"You would not do that to me would you sister" Raven chuckled
"I'll tell you what if you eat at least half of what I bought up and sleep for a good couple of hours your secret is safe with me" Lexa look relieved. She picked up the tray and started to eat. She was nearly finished when her 3 wolves come barreling into the room which caused Raven to jump up squeal and hide behind Lexa. Lexa held up her hand and the wolves stopped. She looked behind and and smirked at Raven. Juda came skidding around the corner and fell to his knees
"My apologies heda. Please forgive me but they missed you" Lexa smiled
"That is ok Juda. Thank you" he bowed and left quickly. All three wolves went to her lap. She hugged them all and kissed their heads. Raven was still hiding. "Come sit back down little bird"
"Ah no thanks you crazy raccoon! They are massive mother fucking wolves!" Lexa laughed
"Trust me sister" she held out her hand for Raven to take. Raven rolled her eyes and took her hand
"If they eat me I'm gonna blow you to bits" she threatened. She slowly sat down beside Lexa. Lexa held Ravens hand out for the wolves to sniff. They slowly approached her sniffed her hand then licked her. Raven laughed "what are their names"
"The White furred one is snow. She is the friendliest of them. The grey one is buck she is the youngest of them and the black ones name is night. She is the leader." Buck layed her head in Ravens lap wanting a pat.
"I like this one" night got up on the bed beside Clarke he sniffed and let out a loud howl. Raven jumped in her seat. Night then layed by Clarkes side. Lexa frowned. "What's wrong" Raven asked
"Night does not usually take to strangers very well I am surprised" snow sniffed
Clarkes hand the hand that Lexa was holding. She howled. Buck quickly moved and sniffed Clarkes feet she howled as well.
"What are they doing?" Raven asked
"They are marking her as a leader"
"I thought they were yours?"
"Yes but it seems they want to be loyal to Klark as well" Lexa said smiling with pride. "They will protect her with their last dying breath"
"Cool!"Buck quickly moved back to Raven and howled. Lexa chuckled
"It seems that buck has done the same for you little bird"
"How rude! What about the other two!" Lexa grinned
"Maybe in time" Raven huffed and scratched behind bucks ear
"Oh well I got this one" she hugged buck close
...................................
Abby entered lexas room and stopped dead in her tracks at the sight before her. Her daughter was still unconscious with a big black wolf lying on one side on the bed and a big white wolf by her feet. Lexa was sitting by the bed leaning forward near Clarkes arm sleeping. The big black wolf raised its head to look at Abby, he growled.
"Shhhhh" Abby turned her head toward Raven who was on the chair by Lexa with a big grey wolf sitting by her side. "She's finally asleep" whispered Raven. Abby went to take a step in the room but the white wolf jumped off the bed and growled. This made Lexa jump from her chair with a knife in her hand. When she saw Abby she sat back down
"Stand down" she said calmly. All the wolves backed down
"What on earth?" Abby said shocked
"Fuck Abby! Lexa was sleeping" Raven threw her hands in the air in frustration. Lexa looked toward Raven
"It's fine little bird" she said quietly and went back to her previous position. Raven glared at Abby.
"You checked on her this morning doc" Raven said annoyed that Abby had disturbed lexas sleep she only was asleep for 1 hour.
"No need for attitude Raven I would like to see my daughter if that's ok with you" Raven rolled her eyes
"Well next time Abby when I look at you and say shhhh take that as a sign to come back later" Abby looked a Lexa and felt a tinge of regret. Lexa looked tired, hungry, sad and the fire she once had in her eyes is still there but a little dim.
"Sorry. Truely I am but I'm here now I just want to check her vitals and then I'll leave you all be" she said sincerely
"That is fine Abigail" Lexa said in a tired exhausted voice. She walked up to the bed but stood there unsure of where to go. On one side a big black wolf was in her way on the other side Lexa was in the way. She looked to Raven but Raven shook her head. Abby sighed. Raven moved so she could sit next to Lexa. She took her vitals and Lexa didn't move at all. Lexa sat up and looked at Abby
"Why is she not awake Abigail you said she would be" lexa said in a threatening voice. Raven stood behind her and held her shoulders.
"She will wake Lexa" Abby snapped back. She stood up abruptly which made all three wolves look at her and let out a growl but Abigail Griffin is stubborn. "YOU said you would protect her with YOUR life! Now look at her! She was taken right under YOUR nose!" Abby yelled lexas shoulders slump in defeat. Raven walked right up to Abby
"Thats enough Abby!" She snapped
"No! It isn't! I didn't want her coming here for exactly this reason! And she" she pointed to Lexa "she said she would protect her! But look at her look at my baby girl she was shot and has been unconscious for 7 damn days!" Abby screamed. The big bad wolf jumped off the bed and stalked to Abby.
"Stand down night" Lexa said sadly. Night went and stood next to Lexa
"Get out now Abby!" Raven threaten Abby shook her head
"No. I have not sat by my daughters side in 7 days cause I was afraid to upset the commander" she said mocking Lexa "it should be her that leaves" Raven went to yell at Abby but Lexa stood
"It is ok Little bird" Lexa said softly with tears in her eyes. She bent down and kissed Clarke on the lips and with all her strength that she had left started walking to the door. Raven stood in her way
"No raccoon come on"
"Abigail is right I didn't protect Klark or you" she said sadly. Raven wrapped her arms around her shoulders
"Lexa there was nothing you could do" she grabbed Lexa by the hand and dragged Lexa back to her seat by Clarke and pushed her down. "Now you listen to me you stubborn raccoon Clarke wants you here!" She glared at abby "Clarke wants Lexa here abby. She loves her. You were not there when she thought she was dying" Raven swallowed the lump in her throat, she held back her tears and stood up "even when she thought she was dying her thoughts were about lexas well being, so you shut up!" Lexa held Ravens hand to calm her down, she looked down to Lexa "and you! You get some sleep or I swear I'll tell Clarke that you have not been taking care of yourself" Lexa nodded Raven moved aside and Lexa went layed her head on Clarkes hand and closed her eyes. She walked over to Abby and dragged her out of the room, when the doors where closed she turned and slapped Abby in the face. Abby held her cheek looking at Raven shocked "listen to me Abigail Griffin, I know that you are stressed for fuck sakes your daughter almost died of course you are upset but so is Lexa! So am I and so are a lot of people you have no right none to say what you just did to Lexa. What happened was not her fault. It was Jaha because he is a crazy fuck!" Abby nodded. "I'm sorry I hit you doc" Raven placed her hand on Abby's arm. "But that was cruel what you just did"
"I'm sorry Raven" Abby said regretfully
"I'm not the one you should be apologising too" Raven looked up to the ceiling and closed her eyes. "You are doing what you can to keep Clarke alive and healthy and I am doing the same for Lexa. She has barley eaten and barely slept these past 7 days" Raven shook her head "I'm just hoping what you said to her doesn't effect her, I hope Clarke wakes up soon cause Lexa can not go on like this Abby and I am fucking scared ok I'm fucking frightened she is like my family she is my sister and I feel like I'm losing her" Abby wiped the tears from Ravens cheek
"I'm sorry Raven I'll make it right I promise" Raven nodded
"I'm going to find bell and get more food for the raccoon just please at least make sure she rests" Abby nodded
"Ok"
.....................
Abby entered the bedroom once again. The wolves looked at her but lied back down. She walked over to Lexa who's face was buried in Clarkes stomach she sat down beside her. She heard her sniffle. Abby placed her hand on lexas back. "Lexa I'm sorry I didn't mean what I said I just miss her" Lexa ignored her and Abby could tell she was crying "she will be ok" Lexa sat up and wiped the tears from her cheeks quickly she did not like Abby seeing her like this
"She has been asleep for 7 days Abigail" Lexa said sadly.
"I promise Lexa she will wake. She is going to be ok, you need sleep commander. You need to eat as well, Raven is coming back up with food. Please eat it then sleep" Lexa nodded. "Lay back down I swear to you if Clarke wakes I will wake you straight away" Lexa sighed and layed her head back on her stomach. After 5 minutes when Abby could hear lexas breathing even out. She moved lexas legs so she was on the bed. Lexa was lying on Clarkes side face on Clarkes stomach. Abby covered her with a blanket she found on the chair. The white wolf jumped off the bed and walked towards her. Abby froze. Snow walked up to her and licked her hand. Abby smiled and sat by Clarkes side. Raven walked in with Bellamy, she looked at the bed and cried happy tears. Bellamy hugged her from behind and smiled. She led Bellamy over to the lounge chair and they both laid on it and fell asleep. Abby moved some hair from Clarkes face. "You have to wake up honey. So many people miss you"
