Blood Moon

Clarke was still standing at her spot and thinking about what just happened few moments ago. She didn't understand why the other girl disappeared so quickly. She wanted answers so she ran behind Lexa and hoped that she would be able to find her.

She could feel that weird buzzing in her spine again but she didn't pay it any attention.

Clarke finally saw Lexa leaning again a tree with her back to her. The blonde called her name to get her attention.

When the brunette girl heard her name she tensed but didn't move. "Lexa, what happened?" The buzzing in her spine started to become painful. Clarke whimpered and fell to the ground.

The last thing Clarke saw was a worried Lexa running to her.

Clarke slowly woke up with something nudging her left arm. She opened her eyes and saw a sleeping Lexa on a chair snuggling her head closer to Clarke's arm. She smiled and without thinking, put her right hand into the brunette's hair.

This action woke up the other girl who jumped from the chair and started frantically looking around with an unsheathed dagger.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up." Lexa turned her head and looked over at the blonde. Clarke could see the worry in Lexa's features. "I'm fine."

That statement infuriated Lexa. "You're not fine. Something is wrong. You're fainting every few hours. That's not fine."

"It's probably just stress or …" Before Clarke could continue Lexa interrupted her. "No! Nyko and Costia…" Lexa saw Clarke's confused face so she explained. "…our healers saw some bulge on your backside... or the mountain men did something to you and it's causing this."

"But you were there with me and you're not fainting. It's not making any sense." When Clarke saw that Lexa wanted to argue she continued. "And that bulge has been on my back for as long as I can remember."

Raven chose that moment to come inside the tent. "Clarke you're awake." She ran to the other girl and hugged her. "Is everything fine? Do you need something?"

Lexa wasn't happy that the other girl came inside before she could talk with Clarke more. She knew that Raven will protect her alpha so she decided to leave.

Before she could even get to the door Clarke spoke. "Lexa?" She turned to the blonde girl. "Can we talk later?" Lexa only nodded and left the tent.

Clarke sighed and turned back to Raven who finally stopped hugging her. "So how did I even get here?"

"You don't know? The Commander brought you back here. She looked really worried. She hasn't moved from her spot beside you since she brought you here." After a little pause Raven decided to voice her main thought "I think she may be into you."

Clarke looked at Raven in disbelief "Raven…" The other girl interrupted her. "No, listen to me. She got mad when Bellamy attacked you at the dropship…"

"Raven…"

"Whenever we are around her pack she tells them to let you be…"

"Raven…"

"And today she almost killed everyone who came close to you. I think…"

Clarke had enough and yelled. "We kissed!"

Raven turned to her with wide eyes. "You kissed the hot alpha?" Clarke couldn't stop herself from growling at the other girl. Raven put her hands in the air. "Hey easy! She is yours, I get it." When Raven saw that her alpha wouldn't tear her head off she continued. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"There was no time with Bellamy and Anya fighting…"

"So it was before that. Oh Griffin you need to tell me everything now!"

Lexa knew what Clarke wanted to talk about and she wasn't really happy about it. She could be a great leader but talking about her feelings wasn't something she liked to do in her free time.

She nodded to her guards who respectfully nodded back and let her inside her tent. She didn't even take her pauldron down when she heard someone come inside. "What do you want?" Lexa spoke not wanting to be bothered with turning around to face intruder.

"Heda." Lexa knew that voice. She couldn't help herself and sighed. All she wanted was to talk with Clarke and go sleep. She was tired after running away from the Mountain. "What do you want Titus?" When she didn't get an answer right away she continued in a commanding voice. "Speak freely. I don't have all day for you."

Titus moved a little closer to her. "I think you should be more careful about what you are doing Heda. For all we know Skaikru could be working with the mountain men"

Lexa turned around and glared at her advisor. "Are you questioning me?"

"No Heda. All I'm saying is that just because you have feelings for one of them doesn't mean…" In one swift motion Lexa moved right in front of him and growled. "You think I would endanger my people just because of my feelings?"

"I would never dare to say that… but people are talking. They think you should pick a mate from one of your clans." Lexa moved away and poured herself some water. Titus understood that he could continue. "Skaikru don't understand their wolf. What about Costia? You have known each other for a long time. People would take it better if you mate with our beta than with that Skaikru alpha." The last few words he spit out of his mouth.

It took all of Lexa's willpower to not kill him right then and there.

He didn't noticed how Lexa tensed and continued completely unaware of the danger he was getting in. "She may have been born an alpha but she has done nothing to prove her status."

Lexa started unsheathing her dagger. No one will talk like that about the other alpha and live.

Neither of them heard someone else come inside. "You forgot to say that most of those people are you, Titus. Skaikru just need training and even the weakest of them is stronger than you now." Lexa turned around and was happy to see Anya present.

Titus on the other hand bared his teeth at the general. "You're saying that just because your mate is one of them!" They were growling at each other.

For a moment Lexa thought that maybe she should let Anya kill Titus for what he said. There were no doubts in her mind that Anya would win their fight. But she knew that they have bigger problems than this disagreement over Skaikru.

"Enough!" She glared at both of them. That stopped them and they both bowed their heads. "What do you need Anya?"

Anya looked at her alpha. "Indra caught a few mountain men not to far away. Do you wish to interrogate them personally?"

"Let Indra do it but tell her not to kill them." When Lexa saw that Anya understood she continued. "Anything else?" She looked at both of her subordinates. Both of them shook their heads. "In that case leave me."

"I don't know what happened. She just got mad at me…." Clarke hoped her friend would be able to help her with her problem.

"Did you think at least for a moment that maybe she is just a normal girl?" When Raven saw Clarke's confused face she sighed but explained. "You know she is all scary and everything but maybe, just maybe, she doesn't want to be mated for politics."

"But I would never…" before Clarke could end her sentence Raven interrupted her. "I know it…but are you sure she knows it as well?"

"I should go." Clarke didn't even wait for an answer and ran to Lexa's tent.

The guards didn't even spare her a glance and let her inside.

"Lexa we need to talk! You probably misunderstood what I was saying…" Before Clarke could end her sentence there was a loud crashing sound. "What was that?" Instead of an answer Lexa ran outside. Clarke right behind her.

Outside they met Anya and Raven. "What was that?" They could see smoke from the woods.

"We have no idea Heda. But that sounds reminds me of their landing and we saw fire from the sky."

"That has to be the Ark. We need to talk with them." Clarke ran in direction of smoke. But before she could get far away Raven and Lexa grabbed her wrists and said in unison. "You can't do that."

Clarke looked at them confused. "Why?"

"I told you what happened on the Ark. How can you know they won't do the same thing to us?" Raven didn't trust anyone from the Ark anymore.

"They had problems with oxygen." When she saw that it didn't convince her friend she added in a desperate tone. "My mother could be there!" With that Raven let go of her wrist and nodded.

Lexa yelled. "Indra! Prepare warriors and send scouts." Indra nodded and ran to do what she was told.

Clarke raised an eyebrow at the other alpha. "What was that?"

"I'm going with you." Lexa realized she was still holding the other girl's wrist and let it go.

The blonde girl frowned. "I don't need someone protecting me!"

Lexa hissed at her. "I'm not protecting you! I'm protecting my people." With that she moved past Clarke in the direction of the smoke. Anya sighed and moved with her alpha.

Clarke was frozen in her spot. She wasn't expecting her day to go like this.

Clarke and Raven were getting closer to the source of the smoke when they heard shooting.

"I told you it's a bad idea!" Clarke ignored Raven's comment and started running.

They got to the clearing. In the distance they could see the fallen Ark but closer to them was a much more interesting scene. Four guards were aiming at two huge wolves.

When Clarke looked closer at the guards she could see her mother behind them. "Mom! Stop it, they're not dangerous." She moved to stand next to Anya and Lexa.

Abby looked at her and smiled. "Clarke you don't understand what they're capable of. You need to move honey."

Lexa and Anya started growling at Ark guards. "You see? They're just animals."

Raven moved closer to others as well. "They're not animals! They're the same as you and me!" After that she changed into her wolf.

There were collective gasps from the guards. All of them looked really scared.

Clarke tried to argue with her mom. "Mom she is right. Just tell your people to put their weapons down and they'll stop growling. It's their land they just want to protect it."

"Clarke move away. NOW!" Abby had enough of this tirade.

But the only thing she accomplished by this was angering Lexa who moved in front of Clarke and howled.

When the Ark's guards heard it they started firing.

"NO!" Before Clarke could do anything, some wolf was dragging her away while Raven tried to do the same thing with Anya.

Raven looked at the new wolf. "Monroe, what are you doing here?" But before Monroe could answer they all heard threatening growl from Clarke who watched bleeding and unmoving Lexa. Monroe immediately released her alpha and moved away.

Abby turned to her daughter. "Clarke?"

The only answer she got was more growling and the bared teeth of her daughter. Then she saw something she hoped would never happen again. Her daughter changed into a huge wolf. The other three wolves started to move closer to Clarke. She stopped them with a blood freezing howl.

She started to move closer to the Arkers.

"Clarke you don't want to do this." Clarke didn't mind her mother's comment and jumped at one of them. The Arkers were so surprised that they didn't react right away. So Clarke managed to tear his throat and the guard fell dead on the ground.

Abby snapped from her surprise took from her pocket a small device. She pushed the button on it. Clarke felt terrible pain in her spine and fell on the ground next to the dead man. She whimpered.

Lexa heard that and tried to help the other alpha but she had so many bullets inside of her that she couldn't even manage to stand up.

Other three wolves were ready to attack. Abby noticed that. "Move closer and I'll shot another electric pulses through Clarke's body." Raven and Monroe stopped and whimpered. There was nothing they could do to help their alpha.

When Abby saw that Anya wasn't stopping she pushed the button.

Raven and Monroe ran to Anya to stop her from advancing even more.

Clarke howled from pain and changed back to human.

When Lexa heard that she finally managed to stand up and with shaky legs she moved in the direction of the other alpha.

Abby saw that. She turned to two guards closest to her daughter. "You two. Take Clarke to the Ark." Then she turned to last guard and pointed with her head to Lexa. "Kill her."

All three guards nodded. "Yes madam." Two of them lifted Clarke and dragged her in the direction of the Ark. All Clarke could hear before she fainted were sounds of shooting.

She really wasn't expecting her day to go like this.
