Reunion
When Clarke returned to Elyza, the aussie could immediately feel the emotions of her mental companion.
“Clarke? What ‘appened? What’s wrong love?” Elyza asked softly. She felt the mental shake again and sighed.
“I can feel you… Somethings wrong, somethings hurting you… Please… Let me help. It hurts me too.” Elyza pleaded.
“She’s gone… I’m alone… I don’t want to exist in a world without Lexa… She was brave… And gentle… and strong… So so strong… She wasn’t supposed to die… Not like that. What if I never find her…? What if we don’t meet again…” Clarke whimpered. Elyza could feel the tears streaming down her cheeks. Alicia was still asleep across from what remained of the fire.
“We’ll find her Clarke. We will. For now you aren’t alone. I’m here, you can talk to me. I promise it’ll be ok.” Elyza tried to comfort the other. With a sigh, Elyza stood up and quietly walked over to Alicia, gently shaking her awake. Again she found a knife to her throat and it wasn’t Alicia she saw in those green eyes.
“Lexa?” Clarke and Elyza wondered at the same time. Green eyes widened in shock.
“Klark?” A familiar voice asked in shock. Elyza felt herself get pushed to the back of the mind as Clarke forced her way into control, tears falling hard as she tackled the brunette back into the sleeping bag.
“I thought I lost you… I thought I wouldn’t find you again… On-Ontari is Heda now… Sh-She killed Aden and the others… In their sleep… I don’t want to exist without you…” Clarke sobbed into the crook of the other girl’s neck. Lexa wrapped her arms around the blonde, simply enjoying the feeling of being able to hold her close again. When Alicia had seen Elyza, Lexa had wondered if Clarke shared her fate.
“I missed you…” Lexa purred, not letting go. Clarke choked out a laugh mixed with a sob and wrapped her arms around Lexa just as tightly, afraid that if she let her go, she’d be gone for good. Clarke and Lexa fell asleep together, leaving Elyza and Alicia back in control and on top of each other. Elyza quickly removed herself from on top of poor Alicia and moved away blushing.
“W-Well that was…” She began.
“Looks like we both have a lost lesbian from another world sharing a head space with us.” Alicia grinned. Elyza sighed.
“I guess… But I think Clarke’s bi.” Elyza returned thoughtfully. They both smiled.
“So what do we do about this..?” Alicia asked.
“Well shit if I know.” Elyza shrugged. Both girls set about getting ready for the day. That day’s mission was to find a supply of fresh water. Thankfully for the pair, they were able to locate a fresh water lake an hours ride from their camp. It was obviously man made, but it would do. Elyza had them fill up as many bottles and cans they could fit on the bike before bringing them home again. Clarke and Lexa woke up on the ride back and Alicia felt herself wrap her arms tighter around the blond in front of her as an unfamiliar, though not unpleasant warmth bloomed in her chest. By the time they’d returned to their campsite and gotten the bike secured, both Elyza and Alicia were in their own battles for control.
“Clarke…” Elyza muttered.
“Please… Lexa… Sh-she’s…” Clarke whined desperately, throwing her consciousness against Elyza’s.
“I know. I know, but this isn’t just your body. And that’s not just Lexa’s body. We’re here too, Alicia and I.” Elyza reminded. She was relieved to feel Clarke pause.
“Let me and Alicia talk a few things out ok?” Elyza continued.
“Ok… Fine…” Clarke huffed. Elyza could feel how upset she was and turned to face Alicia. Lexa must’ve been stronger than Clarke, Elyza decided as she saw the conflict in Alicia’s eyes.
“Hey. Lexa, back off for a few minutes so Alicia and I can talk, please. Clarke has.” Elyza said softly, putting a first hand on the brunette’s shoulder. After a few seconds she saw Alicia look at her greatfully.
“We need to figure something out. Fast.” Elyza told her bluntly. Alicia could only nod.
“What exactly do they want to do? What do you guys want?” Alicia asked.
“I just want to hold her again… I was so scared… Please…” Clarke begged.
“I’m getting just physical contact from Clarke for now.” Elyza relayed.
“Lexa’s on the same page. I mean… I think I’m straight but I guess as long as it’s just like cuddles it could be ok…” Alicia agreed hesitantly. Elyza nodded.
“I think they also have a lot to talk about…” Elyza reminded. Alicia paused.
“Just… Keep it pg please?” Alicia asked. Both girls felt the positive nudge in their psyche. They sighed and looked at each other before letting go. Clarke and Lexa rushed forward to take control and within seconds were on top of each other and each wrapped in the other’s arms.
“I missed you…” Clarke whimpered, nuzzling into Lexa’s neck. Lexa simply purred and murmured comforts, holding Clarke close to her.
“I’m here… What’s happened?” Lexa asked softly.
“Ontari… Is heda… She killed Aden and the others in their sleep… She won’t end it… She won’t just kill me and I don’t know why…” Clarke whispered. Lexa’s eyes widened.
“Clarke… You’re still there..? You still breathe...? Why are you here? You shouldn’t be here…” Lexa began softly.
“No… I need to be here… I need to be with you… I won’t exist without you… Yu gonplei ste odon, Ai gonplei ste odon!” Clarke cut her off, tears welling up in blue eyes.
“Shh… Shh… You need to speak to Titus… If your spirit is able to be between here and there it is untethered… He will be able to help you tie it down again.” Lexa continued.
“But I…” Clarke tried to say.
“No. You misunderstand. When you become tethered again, your soul will stay in the place it deems as right. As home. If it is here, your body won’t wake up again… But if it is there… You won’t be able to return here… Beja Clarke… You must speak to Titus…” Lexa explained softly. Clarke paused, processing but nodded, resting her head against Lexa’s shoulder and relishing in the comfort the strong arms around her brought. Clarke and Lexa fell asleep together again. Clarke had a decision to make now.
