CHAPTER 2

"It is my honor to meet you, Commander. I am General Raven of the Sky People."

Raven bows down in front of her. Lexa nods. "This is my gift. I personally made it for you and Princess Clarke." Lexa motions Raven to give them to Clarke. She turns to Clarke and handed her the gift.

"What are these?" Clarke asks.

"We call them Radio. It is a means of communication among my clans." Raven said with pride as she taught Clarke how to use it. Raven moves towards Clarke and Lexa can't help but feel some kind of emotions inside of her.

Lexa closes her eyes, "Are you done, Raven of the Sky People?"

Raven looks at Lexa then at Clarke. "Yes, Commander." She bows down again. "Nice to meet you Princess Clarke." She said as she looks at Clarke.

Clarke nods her head and smiles at Raven.

"Octavia of the Woods Clan." Gustus announces.

"It is my honor to meet you Commander." Octavia greets. "I've heard stories about you. You are my inspiration in becoming the warrior I am now."

Lexa's face is emotionless. She just nods her head at Octavia.

"This is my gift for you Commander." Octavia gives her the necklace she made herself. "I made it." she said with pride. Then she motions her guard to give the other necklace to Clarke. Octavia is more focus on the commander.

Clarke looks at Octavia. Her brows furrow as she notices how Octavia looks at her Commander. Her commander. Sounds good, Clarke thought.

"Thank you, Octavia." Lexa said, nodding her head.

Clarke looks at Lexa, clearly irritated. She never heard Lexa thank her for everything she gave.

"Thank you for this, Octavia of the Woods Clan." Clarke finishes.

Octavia realizes the dismissed. She bows.

Clarke looks at Lexa. "You never thank me for anything I gave you." She murmurs irritably.

Lexa looks at her. She clears her throat. "Thank you Clarke."

Clarke widens her eyes. Did she heard that correctly? "Uhmm.."

Lexa smiles at her. "Thank you for the cards."

Clarke looks away as she blushes hard. She had never seen Lexa smile at her for the longest time. "Your welcome." She mumbles.

Gustus steps forward again. "General Monroe of the Rock Clan."

Monroe steps forward. "This is my gift for you, Commander." Monroe smiles at her genuinely. "And for you princess."

"Anya of the Amazon Clan." Gustus announces again.

Anya gives her gift and respect to both leaders.

"Indra of the Jungle Clan." Gustus once again, said.

"Maya of the Mountain Clan."

"Echo of the Island Clan."

"Costia of the Pyramid Clan."

The representative of the Water Clan, Fire Clan, Desert Clan and Ice clan had a commotion. The tension builds among them as they look at each other. Fire versus Ice. Desert versus Water.

"I would never agree with this." One of the Ice Nation said. "These Fire people are not one of us."

The Fire Nation was insulted. Their leader shows her power in front of the Ice Nation. Balls of fire are seen on her hand, ready to strike.

The Ice Leader laughs. "I'm not afraid."

"You do know that Fire can melt Ice, right?" The Fire leader said, smirking.

The Water Leader interferes. "And you do know that Water can put out Fire right?"

The Ice General laughs. "So what are you going to do, Fire People? Leave or you should suffer an embarrassing defeat."

"Do not forget that we are here too." The Desert Leader made her appearance known. The sand in her hands are also ready to strike.

Lexa stands up. "ENOUGH!"

The 4 leaders look at her.

"Do you really think we would honor this unity you speak about, Commander." The Ice leader grits her teeth in disgust. "We only have one queen and that is our Ice Queen."

Lexa breathes calmly. She needs to control her emotions and her powers.

Clarke steps in front of Lexa as she saw the four leaders are ready to strike her. "Stop!" she said.

Lexa's eyes widen as she saw the four leaders' powers thrown towards Clarke. Her reaction was instant. She grabs Clarke's wrist and with the flick of her hand, she blocks their powers with hers.

With the impact of Lexa's powers, the four leaders fall onto the ground. The people were shocked as they witness the Commander's powers for the first time. The legend says that the Commander will posses all 12 clans' powers thus making her the most powerful human.

Lexa's eyes are blazing red. "I possessed all of the 12 clans' powers and I am not going to let you disrespect my home." She said with gritted teeth. She uses her hands to create vines so she could lift all four leaders. The four leaders struggle to breathe as she tightens the vines on their neck.

Clarke saw this, and she ran to hug Lexa. "Lexa. Stop. Calm down. Please."

Lexa's eyes turn back into green as she felt Clarke's embrace. She pulls out her vines and let the four leaders fall onto the ground, still alive. Her eyes roam around and she saw fear on her people's eyes.

She pulls away from Clarke, grabbing her shoulders. Clarke looks at her, there is no sign of fear in them but still, she pulls away. She turns her back on them. "Party is over. I order all of you to leave."

"But Lexa-" Clarke starts.

"Close the gate. Leave now. All of you!" Lexa said in an authoritative voice.

"Lexa." Clarke knocks again on her door. "We need to talk."

"Go away, Clarke." She heard Lexa say.

"Oh no! You can't order me around anymore!" Clarke exclaims. "I need to know the truth! You owe me the truth!"

There is no response.

She called Gustus. "Gustus, can you open the door?"

"I can't, princess." Gustus bows his head.

"Lexa!" Clarke shouts. "I am going to open this door with or without your permission!" She steps aside and bump herself on the door. She shouts in pain but she won't surrender.

She runs at the other side of the hall and then stops. Then in full speed, she run towards Lexa's door and-

She falls down because Lexa decides to open the door at an inappropriate time.

"Ugh!"

"Are you okay. Clarke?" Lexa walks towards her.

Clarke scratches her butt as she stands up. "Why the hell did you open the door?" She said, wincing in pain.

Lexa furrows her eyebrows. "Because you asked me to."

Clarke rolls her eyes then glare at her

Then she hears Lexa laughed lightly. Clarke looks at her. The commander is laughing at her?

"I'm sorry. I can't-" Lexa laughs again.

Clarke finally smiles at the situation. This is the first time in years that she was able to laugh with Lexa. She misses this.

"Lexa." She softly called.

Lexa clears her throat. "I'm sorry for laughing at you, Clarke."

"No no no. I miss your laugh." Clarke steps forward.

Lexa backs away. "Don't."

"Why?" Clarke didn't stop.

"I am a monster, Clarke. Have you not seen it?" Lexa continues to back away until she reaches the table. Clarke continues to walk towards her.

"You are not a monster." Clarke said, invading her space. Their lips are inches away from each other. "You are the Commander."

"Clarke, please. Leave me alone." Lexa said, as her eyes dart onto Clarke's lips.

"I won't do that, Lexa. Not now. Not ever." Clarke closes her eyes, tiptoes lightly and reaches into Lexa's lips.

Their lips are mere inches apart. Lexa was tempted. Well, almost.

Her emotions overflows in anticipation, as well as her powers. Her hands are transforming into ice that she needs to back away but she has no means of escape without touching Clarke.

"I can't." Lexa whispers that made Clarke opened her eyes. "I do not have the same feelings, Clarke."

Clarke's eyes are filled with hurt. She was speechless as she backs away.

"I am sorry." Lexa said, turning her back from Clarke.

Lexa heard Clarke sob before she ran away and left the room.
