#clexa x reader

Clarke quickly approached your joined tent, hoping you were there. When she only saw Lexa and Madi, her heart sank. Lexa could see the distress on Clarke's face as she neared the tent. What had happened, and where were you?

"Clarke, hodness. What happened?" It was hard for Lexa not to run to her distressed wife, but Lexa had an image to uphold in unfriendly territory. When Clarke was inside the safety of their tent, she couldn't hold back any longer, so she pulled Clarke close to her with the arm that wasn't holding Madi. Clarke couldn't stop her tears when she felt Lexa pull her closer, missing you.

"Lexa, I did something stupid." Clarke sobbed into Lexa's shoulder.

"It's okay, Clarke, I have you. Whatever happened, I'm sure we can talk about it." Lexa tried to reassure her wife. The three of you had had your arguments before, and they were usually resolved quickly.

"no, Lexa! You don't understand. I have never seen (Y/N) look at me like that."

"Clarke, sweetheart. Tell me what happened from the beginning. Cause you aren't making any sense." Lexa said while leading Clarke toward a chair so she could sit. Madi immediately hugged Clarke the moment she sat down.

"hugs, mommy. Mama says hugs make everything better." Madi looked up at Clarke with a toothy smile. Clarke managed to give a tear-filled smile back. You had been right. Had anyone else caused this commotion, Clarke wouldn't have thought twice about your reaction.

After a couple of deep breaths, Clarke got her breathing under control. She hugged Madi tightly. Lexa, who had watched Clarke run through all the emotions, sat beside her wife as Clarke told her story through hiccups and tears. Lexa listened. It wasn't Lexa's place to choose a side. She just wanted everybody to be safe at home again.

Lexa suggested giving you some time. That way, both you and Clarke could calm down. So when you return, both of you can have a calm conversation. If there was one thing Lexa knew for certain, you loved her and Clarke.

Madi, who hadn't understood the conversation her mothers had been having, just sat there. The thing Madi did understand was that her mommy was sad and that her mama was gone. Seeing her mommy so sad made Madi want to do something about it. Maybe if she found you, you could come and give Mommy your hugs. They always made her feel better.

Sneaking outside, Madi immediately went to the three who would help her. Winter, Rain and Wood were close to the tent and got up when they noticed Madi approaching them. For them, Madi was the pack's pup and needed protection.

"We have to find mama. Mommy sad." Madi walked into the woods, surrounded by the three dire wolves. The wolves immediately tried to locate the scent of their master and started to lead Madi in that direction.

You had cooled off a little after your argument with your wife. You weren't able to go back to the tent just yet. So, you sat on a log and reviewed your emotions and thoughts. You Weren't mad at Clarke. Your feelings got the best of you after a hard couple of days. You also knew Clarke was under much stress, and your clashes with Bellamy weren't helping.

Sitting there for a few minutes, you notice someone approaching you. You ready yourself for whatever it is that comes through the clearing.

"Madi?" Hearing your voice, Madi ran toward you and flung herself at you.

"mama! Found you." You looked her over for any injury she could have gotten while walking through the woods. When you didn't see anything, you looked her in the eyes.

"what are you doing here? Do Mommy or nomon know you are here?" you knew the answer already. No way would your wives let Madi walk through the woods alone. Madi, however, seemed to be concerned about other things.

"mama! Mommy, sad. Sorry. Needs you." Madi wiggled herself out of your hold and pulled you toward the camp. When you didn't follow, Madi looked up at you with a pretty impressive glare. Clarke would be so proud.

"mama! Mommy cried." That did break your heart. Lexa nor Clarke cried easily. Meaning she must be feeling pretty big emotions. Sucking up your feelings, you pick Madi up and start walking toward the rest of your family.

When Clarke spotted you walking toward her, she flings herself at you. She was starting to apologize profusely. You let her ramble for a moment while holding her close.

"It's okay, Clarke. We were both at fault. I shouldn't have let my temper get the best of me and should also have considered your feelings. I get more territorial around certain Skaikru." You kissed Clarke on the forehead before kissing her on the lips. You feel her sag against you and hold her closer. Out of the corner of your eyes, you spot Lexa smiling. Reaching out for her, Lexa picks up Madi and joins the embrace.

"I love the three of you so much." You confess. Having this rare moment of vulnerability reserved for your family.

You and Clarke eat dinner before taking a quick bath and turning in for the night. Agreeing that you would be taking a more back-seated role in the negotiations, limiting your contact with the Skaikru. Your best warriors would still shadow Lexa and Clarke. That was the only condition you had.

You sat on the bed and rubbed your droopy eyes as you waited for Lexa and Clarke to finish their meeting with the twelve clans.

It had been a few hours since they left and they told you that you should get some sleep but you refused to sleep without them so here you are hours later sitting on the bed and staring at the door waiting for your lovers to come through it.

After a couple more minutes of waiting you stood up with a groan and made your way to the balcony and laid on the ground staring up at the sky.

Just as your eyes began to close the door to your room opened and you quickly stood up with a smile thinking it was Clarke and Lexa. Seeing it was just a guard you rolled your eyes and made your way back into the room

"Y/n, Wanheda wanted me to inform you that their meeting is going to last a couple more hours. Head said that you should get some rest." The guard, without waiting for an answer, turned around and walked out the door, shutting it behind him.

With another loud groan you throw yourself onto the bed and cuddle up with their pillows. You were determined to stay awake but as the candle on the nightstand began to fade your eyes slowly fluttered closed.

A couple hours later you were awoken by movement beside you and your body being moved over. Panicking you sat up but voices were quick to shush you and that's when you saw Clarke and Lexa their figure illuminated by the newly lit candle in the place the old one was.

"Shh hodnes. It's only us" Lexa whispered as she gently pushed your body back down so that you were laying in the middle. Clarke claimed into bed behind you and threw her arms around you tightly as Lexa began positioning herself on the other side of you and stroking your face.

"We're sorry the meeting lasted so long. We wanted to desperately be here with you. " Clarke mumbled from her place in your neck.

"It's alright. I totally stayed up for you" You whispered tiredly as you leaned back into Clarke and reached for Lexa's hand. The two laughed and then kissed you on the cheek.

"Sure Hodnes. Now we all need sleep."

Lexa being overprotective of you and Clarke too

training with Lexa

Clarke sometimes get’s a little bit jealous of how many time the Heda spends with you

being the only one who can make Lexa laugh so hard

Clarke and Lexa sometimes are worst than your mom when it comes to protecting you

Lexa always finding time to be with you

Lexa treating you like her little sister

teaching you how to survive

horse rides

a special room in polis

always with bodyguards

sometimes goofing around and even Indra can’t resist but be dorky with you two

Titus hating you and your sister with passion

Teasing Lexa when she looks as Clarke

Making kissy noises when this two are too close

Being the one who makes Clexa happen

Titus hating you even more after that

Lexa willing to give her life for you, same as you

sometimes you feel kind of like the third wheel

People respecting you, grounders and skaikru a like

buying more candles to Lexa and she always loses her mind 

*gasps* “this is green! I like green”

she buys you grounder clothes and helps you look like one

goofing around with your war paint and her loving when you get upset about it

“Now you are...a cat”

“LEXA ... this is ridiculous I thought you would make me look badass”

“I think it’s pretty intimidating”

“oh shut up I’ll ask Indra for hel-”

“there’s no need for that strike won I was just joking”

“yeah yeah next time you’ll regret it”

“I’m the Heda you can hurt me Y/N”

“What! Gives you the right to touch my daughter!” you were livid. How dare this boy touch your daughter. Madi in general had a hard time with being touched. The only people who were allowed to touch her freely, were you, Lexa, Clarke and Anya. From time to time Indra, but that was only when Madi instigates it. So who did this piece of shit think he was for giving Madi a panic attack.

At this point, you were really starting to regret coming to the Skaikru. Would Clarke be really upset if you cut this guy's throat? Probably. Pushing aside the murderous intent you were feeling you turned toward Madi who was still protected by Dina. Madi who was still sobbing uncontrollably. You throw the sword in your hand to the side and crouch down so you are at eye level with your daughter. Dina steps away from the two of you and keeps the rest away.

When Madi spots you through tear-filled eyes, she looks you straight in the eyes but doesn’t move to get closer to you.

“hey, peanut.” You say in a voice you only reserve for your daughter. The little girl is so attuned to the sound that she is already calming down.

“Mama?”

“Yes baby, it is Mama. Are you feeling big emotions?” you knew she was but this made it easier for Madi to work through it. Madi gave you a small nod.

“is the feeling going away?” most of the time the emotions Madi was feeling would pass on their own. When Madi shook her head, you gave her a reassuring smile.

“that is okay. I am here and we are getting through this together. Can I touch you?” with speed almost too fast for a human, Madi was in your arms. She pressed her head against your chest to feel your steady heartbeat. The sound helped in calming her down.

“alright baby, can you tell me five things you see?” your voice is just about a whisper but Madi could hear you just fine.

Clarke and Lexa were wrapping up their meeting. Things had gone smoother than hoped and resulted in the two being able to meet (Y/N) and Madi for lunch. Clarke was putting away the last of the documents when one of the guards sprinted into the tent. The markings on their arms told them that they were on (Y/N) personal guard. Lexa was aware of the guards (Y/N) had put on both her and Clarke.

“Heda! Permission to speak.” The guard asked. Like all your subordinates they had discipline.

“speak soldier,” Lexa said in her heda voice.

“Heda, Wanheda, both of you are needed at the training grounds. One of the Skaikru boys tried to touch the princess. Causing her to have a panic attack and the general to lash out at the boy. Some of the females with the boy are afraid of an escalation.” The guard spoke so fast that Clarke and Lexa almost didn’t catch all of it. The moment Clarke heard Madi was involved she started walking toward the training ground, not listening to Lexa who was calling after her.

Lexa took a moment to collect herself and thanked the guard, before going after her wife-turned-mamabear. She already felled sorry for whoever stood in her way.

Clarke was at the training grounds in no time. There she saw the Gona from a circle around you, Raven, Octavia, Lincoln and Bellamy. Dina was standing close to you ready to react to any situation. You were cradling Madi to your chest, trying to console the sobbing toddler.

Madi didn’t seem to be injured, neither did you. Bellamy on the other hand was sporting a big red line around his neck. Steeling herself Clarke stepped forward to make her presence known. Bellamy was the first to approach her, like a kid rating out somebody to the teacher. You however stayed where you were, cuddling Madi close to your chest.

Instead of listening to Bellamy rambling Clarke made her way toward you and Madi. Laying a comforting hand on Madi’s back.

“Maid sweetheart, look who is here.” You whisper in your daughter's ear. Locking eyes with Clarke, conveying that it was a bad one. Very slowly Madi lifted her head from your shoulder and looked behind her. When she spotted her mommy, she started reaching out for her and you quickly handed her over to Clarke so she could soak in her mommy’s scent. The toddler sagged into the blond's hold immediately.

For some reason, Clarke’s and Lexa’s scents had always a calming effect on you and Madi.

“hey love, somebody told me you were cuddling with Mama. Mind if I join?” Clarke spoke in a tender tone, to not set Madi off again. That had happened in the past when she was overwhelmed too soon.

“Mama helped. Big emotions. Counted. Calmed.” Madi’s sentences were cut short, telling Clarke she hadn’t down completely.

“oh! You and Mama did the counting. Did it help?” Clarke was relieved when Madi nodded into her chest. While Clarke was talking to Madi you had positioned yourself in front of them with crossed arms and a death stare levelling Bellamy, who was trying to get closer.

“what made you feel the big emotions? Can you tell Mommy?”

“Man touched me,” Madi said burring her face back into Clarke’s chest.

“what man sweety?” Clarke Cöed as to not set her off again. without looking Madi pointed a finger toward Bellamy, who was trying to push past (Y/N). (Y/N) however, wasn’t bunching an inch. In the meantime, Raven and Octavia tried to pull Bellamy back.

“let me pass! I have to talk to Clarke.” He tried to sound intimidating, hoping you would let him pass.

“you upset my daughter, do you really think I’m just going to let you near her? No way in hell! If Clarke wants to talk to you she will come over here. Until then back off!” your voice was nothing more than a growl.

Clarke really had hoped Bellamy wasn’t involved. You already didn’t like him and this wasn’t helping. She could only hope to settle your mood before things escalated. Clarke still remembered the last time somebody touched Madi without permission. It was a warrior from Azgeda. He had quickly lost his hand and head. Then she hadn’t batted an eye at it. She hoped it didn’t turn into a brawl. You would level Bellamy with no problem, the only question was when you would stop once you started.

Clarke walked with Madi still clinging to her chest but stayed a couple of feet behind. Hoping this was enough distance for Madi. You immediately sensed Clarke come up behind you, turning partly around so you can look at her and Madi, still preventing Bellamy from getting closer. Clarke knew her next words would be hard for their friends but she had to think about her daughter and wife first. She could talk to her friends later, but first, she had to defuse the situation.

“I think all of you should return to camp until things have calmed down,” Clarke said while looking at her friends. Raven and Octavia seemed to understand, Lincoln respected the words of his kwin. They also knew that if they stayed longer and Bellamy did something stupid, they would be putting Clarke on the spot. Bellamy however started immediately pushing against you to get to Clarke.

“Clarke! Please listen to me. I didn’t mean to do this.”

“Back off!” you got into the shaggy-haired boy's face and pushed him back.

“you come here, make my daughter cry and now you dare to make demands toward our kwin. I should skin you alive for that.” This finally makes Bellamy back down with a loud gulp.

“General!” there was an edge to Clarke’s voice that told you you were getting onto thin ice. It made you back down just a little. The last thing you wanted to do was upset your wife.

“we will leave for now,” Raven said, pulling Bellamy back toward the camp. Leaving you and your family as the only ones in the training ground. The gona had scattered already, knowing nothing good came from upsetting their kwin when she was in mama-bear mode.

Lexa arrived at the exact moment the Skaikru left. You had turned around to look at Clarke. The blond looked anything but happy. Believing it to be best for you and Clarke to talk about whatever the issue was. So Lexa took Madi from Clarke's arms and retreated toward the tent.

“let’s go Madi. Mommy and Mama need to talk.”

“mad?” Madi asked.

“don’t know bug. Why don’t we go find something to eat and wait for them?”

“What the hell is wrong with you? You could have taken Bellamy’s head off today.” Clarke exploded the moment Madi and Lexa were gone. Now that everything had sunken in, Clarke had gotten angry with you. Her reaction made your anger surface again. why was she angry with you?

“He upset Madi. I just reacted on instinct.” You say between clenched teeth, not wanting to snap at Clarke.

“That was an over-the-top reaction. Bellamy didn’t know Madi would react like that.” Clarke counters, while stepping close to you. Like she wanted another response from you. At this point, you had a hard time not glaring at your wife.

“If it had been anybody else but that Skaikru boy we wouldn’t be having this conversation.”

“ you went too far. You acted like a sa…” Clarke seemed to catch herself at the last moment, but you knew what she was going to say. You had heard it often enough. The dark part in you that you had suppressed for so long reared its ugly head and you could feel your emotions freeze. Looming over Clarke you glared at her.

“say it.” A moment passed and it stayed quiet.

“say it!” the ringing of your voice surprised Clarke. She had never seen you like this.

“Savage.” The word was nothing more than a whisper but you could hear her loud and clear. Did your wife really think of you like that? You could stand for everybody else thinking you were a monster but not your family.

“maybe Clarke I am nothing more than a savage beast, pretending to be something else.” With that, you walked away and into the woods, leaving Clarke alone.

The moment you left a pang rang through Clarke. What had she done, she had never seen you so cold toward her before. When Clarke finally turned around she, you were gone.

"for you, I hope you only aim that gun at me because if I even suspect it is aimed at anybody else, I'm ripping your head off your shoulders." your eyes had gone cold, not holding any amusement she was feeling moments before. She wouldn't let any of her family get hurt.

  Lexa watched as Finn pulled out a gun and pointed it at you. She could see your posture stiffen, all play was gone, and Lexa knew you would kill the boy if he ever seemed to be a threat. She hated to admit it, but at the moment, she could only watch.

The tiniest move could set him off and make him fire the gun. Lexa could also see her warriors around her stiffen, ready to react to her order.

 Clarke held Madi close as the girl buried her face in her neck. You looked furious, and Clarke was pretty sure you were going to cut Finn's head off.

Everybody had tensed around her. Even the people who had cheered for Finn moments ago had gone quiet. Not even Raven came with a witty remark.

 Your voice broke through the silence like a sharp knife

"for you, I hope you only aim that gun at me. If I even think you are aiming it at anybody, ells, I'm ripping your head off your shoulders before you can pull the trigger." You could see him trying to lift his gun, and at the small flicker of his wrist, you acted. He didn't even have a chance to react before you ripped the gun out of his hands, dismantled it and grabbed him by the neck with the other, his feet dangling off the ground.

He was clawing at your hand, trying to get free. You had to admit, it felled quite nice to see him struggle. It had been so long since you held the life of another in your hands. Feel them being helpless in your grip.

In a previous life, you wouldn't have hesitated to break his neck just like that, but something was stopping you. Where in the past, his death would have been sealed the moment he pointed the gun at you. Now, however, you played by different rules.

 Lexa walked up next to you, looking at the boy still dangling from your hand. He was starting to turn blue.

"let him go," Lexa told you, and like that, you dropped the boy, and he fell to the ground gasping for air. When he finally seemed to regain some of his bearings, he glared at the two of you, but before he could speak, Lexa cut him off.

"Finn Kom Skaikru, by drawing your gun in an official battle against clans, you have broken one of our most sacred rules. A crime that is punishable by death." Lexa told him, speaking in her most cold Heda voice.

"The only thing that prevents me from letting my general finish what she was doing is that the Skaikru still doesn't belong to the Coalition. However, all of you have to oblige by the Kongeda laws." This time Lexa turned to Abby as she spoke.

"Chancellor, you maybe not be part of the Coalition yet, and your rules may differ from ours. This is a crime that cannot go unpunished. A fitting punishment should be admitted. Until you have come up with one, it had been seen as fitting by my general. He will stay under my guard's supervision in a secluded tent in the camp." Lexa was telling them that he would be caged in a tent until the Skaikru his punishment.

 As the guard started lifting him, he seemed to regain his spirit and began hurling insults around like fresh air. By now, you had had enough of him. In a move that was just a tat quicker than a human, you snapped his wrist by crushing it in your hand.

"that is for insulting Heda in my presence. If your clan can't find a fitting punishment by tomorrow, he will go through the Trial Of The Woods, and I will oversee it personally." Your voice was loud enough that everybody could hear it before you walked away to cool down. If you had to look at his face any longer, you would kill him right then and there.

  Clarke watched as you disappeared into the crowd after picking up the gun parts. The stiffness in your shoulders betrayed how agitated you were. So Clarke thought it would be wise to let you cool down for a moment. Clarke may have seen that Madi did not and wanted to go to you.

"Mommy, mama sad." Madi looked up at Clarke with big round eyes. She usually was good at calming you down, but Clarke wanted to wait for a moment so you could gather your thoughts.

"I know, love, but let mama rest for a little while, okay." Clarke tried to readjust Madi on her hip. She hoped Lexa would talk to you first. Madi gave a small nod cuddling further into Clarke, who noticed her daughter was shivering a little. As night was starting to fall, it was colder. Clarke draped your coat partly over Madi so she would warm up. It also still smelled like you, and Clarke hoped to help calm down her daughter.

After the small moment she got with her daughter, and the initial shock died down from the fight, Clarke's friends turned to her.

"well, that went down fast," Raven exclaimed, coming closer to Clarke.

"Yeah, I can't believe Finn would be so stupid as to pull a gun like that." Octavia added, also coming closer. When both girls were close enough that they could be semi-private. Clarke could see they had questions. She also saw her mother linger in the back.

"Alright, ask away. I can see the questions burning in your minds." Abby seemed to grab her chance and came closer. Her question, however, became stuck when she watched Clarke with Madi. Abby had so many questions.

"how?" was the only thing she could bring out. Clarke was slightly rocking Madi, who had snuggled further into the coat as she looked at her mother. Although it was a vague question, Clarke could guesses

"it’s a long story, actually, but the short version of it is that we found Madi together when she needed us the most, and we didn’t hesitate to take her in. Now she is our daughter, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.” It seemed that, for now, Abby accepted the story. Both mother and daughter knew that Abby now needed to be the leader of her people.

So Abby needed to get this whole Finn ordeal dealt with. She agreed that what the boy had done couldn’t go unpunished, and she rather would have him punished under Arkadia laws than Ground laws. To be quite frank, Abby still didn’t trust them completely, with them coming with a peace offering after so many years of radio silence, and who knew what their Kwin would demand. If she could make a peace offering with them, then she would have a major influence in the Coalition and with The Commander.

“What does The Commander wants us to do with Finn?” Clarke can still hear the distrust in her mother's voice. Clarke only hoped when the queen was revealed tonight and told what she planned to do, the Arkers would settle a little and hoped it wouldn’t backfire on her later.

Putting that thought aside, Clarke thought about the problem at hand. What he had done wasn’t a small offence. In grounder culture, he had trashed their honour, and her people wouldn’t blink when they would have executed him. She also knew her mother wouldn’t like it when you decided on his punishment, and she would only see the brutal savagery of it.

“Heda expects a punishment fitting for his crimes, nothing more, nothing less. Because you aren’t yet a part of the Coalition, she gave you a choice.” Clarke tried to bring over in not so many words that it was a unicum for Lexa to hand out this chance. Marcus seemed to catch on and pitched in before Abby.

“What punishment would he have gotten if Heda decided that was not death.” Marcus asked, taking on his role as advisor. Letting Finn go could start rumours of Lexa being weak, and that on its own could start a war.

“the lightest punishment she could give him was dead by a thousand cuts.” It came as quite a shock that that was the lightest punishment, and Lincoln even confirmed this for her. Clarke shot a glance at Raven. Throughout this all, she felled for her friend. Clarke knew deep down Raven cared for Finn, at least for the boy she learned on the dropship. The only other person who stayed calm beside Lincoln and Octavia was Marcus.

“does Heda also wants us to put him too dead?” Marcus looked Clarke right in the eyes.

“No, she doesn’t expect you to do that, and she only wants a fair punishment severe enough that the message comes through to all Arker’s.” a sense of relief washed over the 100.

“Though Heda isn’t the one I would be worrying about in with this one. Our general will be more adamant about going for the death sentence. (Y/N) is far more vigilant in this kind of thing. He put the lives of everyone she loved in danger by pulling that stunt; she wants justice.” Clarke knew how brutal you could be when the people you loved were in danger.

Lincoln was intrigued by you. In all his years with the Trikru, he had never seen or heard of you. But when standing there next to Heda, it was like you stood there all your life.

“What punishment would your general ask for?” Abby, who was finally able to get out of her stupor, asked.

“Our general would ask him to go through the trial of the forest. That means that he would be stripped to his undergarments, escorted into a remote part of the forest, and forced to survive for one day and one night. If they do this, their crimes are forgiven because the forest has spared them.” Clarke explained, and everybody seemed to think that was that bad of a punishment. At least you had a chance of survival. Clarke didn’t mention that nobody had come back alive before, that animals on those parts of the forest were in one way or another linked to you, and that the predators were your hunting mates and pets.

After that, Abby and Marcus decided to discuss this matter in private to come up with a fitting punishment. They also promised they would be back before the feast started. Wanted to meet this so-called Kwin and negotiate a peace treaty. Octavia and Raven got a certain glint in their eyes when they left. Clarke felt she would be cross-examined by them about her relationships with you and Lexa.

In the meantime, Madi, who had dozed off a little on her shoulder, started to wake up. Clarke thought now was maybe a good time to set Madi down so she could go and look for you. This would also give Raven and Octavia free range to surround her and fire their questions at her, but she would survive. The moment Madi’s foot touched the ground, she was off like a speeding bullet, and then the questions came that her best friends had bottled up.

“so tell us, Clarke, what is your relationship with Heda and this new general of her. I caught Madi calling her mama before.” Raven asked with a raise of her eyebrow, having a big smirk on her face.

“yes, Clarke explains.” Octavia had a matching smirk.

  You had wandered off to a remote part of the camp, and there were only a couple of tents. Your anger was almost boiling over. How dare that boy pull a gun and potentially hurt your family. If he had been Trikru or any other clan, you would have cut him down on the spot. Even thinking about it made your claws want to spring free and slice something. In one lightning-fast move, you unsheathed your claws and cut through a large bolder like it was butter.

Breathing heavily, you looked at the destruction you had caused, not even that calming you down. It had been so long since you had felled the bloodlust, the urge to kill something. You had almost convinced yourself to go and hunt this rat down and do just that when you heard tiny footsteps approach, and just like that, the urge was gone, replaced by an even greater one. Sheathing your claws, you turn around just in time to catch your daughter, who had flung herself at you.

“Mama!” she immediately tossed her arms around you and buried her face in your neck.

“hey, Strike won (little one). Did you come looking for me?” You asked, kissing the side of her head and covering her with your arms to protect her from the night's breeze. Madi nodded but didn’t speak. That was okay with you. It had been a big day for such a little girl.

“want to go look at the festival and look for nomon. I bet nomon has some food for us already.” Again she nodded and rested her head on your shoulder. If anybody had ever told you that one person could turn you into mooch, you would have laughed at them before you killed them, but that was exactly what Madi had done. She was your Anker, with Clarke and Lexa, and you would protect them with your life.

You lowly started to make your way back into the camp and toward the feast. You were sure Clarke would like to do her big reveal before everybody started eating. Also, your ear picked up a very familiar sound in the air. Thank god you picked up that second bore while hunting.
