Unexpected Love

Chapter 13

Clarke POV

Two days have passed. Lexa was asleep with an arm over her stomach and her head on her chest. Clarke was mindlessly playing with Lexa's brown hair.

"You are making these two weeks really damn hard." Clarke whispered. Clarke moved hair behind Lexa's ear. Clarke kissed Lexa's head.

Clarke didn't move for about ten minutes. Lexa moved positions, rolling off of her. Clarke got up and stretched. She found a long sleeve shirt and put it on.

Clarke took one last look at Lexa before walking out. Clarke walked to the lake with a spear. Koda walked out of the woods. "Good morning." Clarke said, as Koda sat down by the lake. Koda made a gurgling noise. Clarke laughed.

Clarke walked around the lake looking for fish. She didn't see anything. "You see anything?" Clarke asked Koda. Koda just looked at her. "So no." Clarke sighed. "Damn it."

Clarke saw two fish but missed the shot and gave up. Clarke walked back to the camp and Koda stayed at the lake. Clarke didn't see Lexa making a fire or sitting outside of the shelter.

Clarke walked in and put the spear back. She saw Lexa sitting up, head in hands. "You okay?" Clarke asked, concerned.

"Yeah." Lexa said. "My head is just pounding." Lexa said, picking her head up.

"More than usual?" Clarke asked. "Not just the faint one."

"I feel like someone just but a knife into my head." Lexa groaned.

"I'll go get water and food." Clarke said before walking out of the shelter. Clarke walked over and grabbed some water.

Clarke walked back into the shelter and sat down next to Lexa. Clarke handed Lexa the water, Lexa took it and took a sip.

"You might just be dehydrated and we haven't had much to eat these last couple of days." Clarke said. "I'm trying to catch something but the fish aren't there."

"I don't know." Lexa sighed, rubbing her temples.

"It's dark in here so just stay in here for a little. I'll try to catch something but I don't know." Clarke said. Clarke felt Lexa's forehead and she was a little warm. "You're kind of warm." Clarke felt Lexa's cheek. "You felt fine while you were asleep."

"I felt off when I just woke up but I thought I was just hungry." Lexa said. "I stood up and that's when I started to feel worse." Lexa mumbled.

"Just relax and sleep." Clarke said. Lexa nodded and layed down. "I'll check on you in a little bit." Clarke said, softly, moving hair out of Lexa's face. "And actually try to sleep not your eyes closed thinking sleep."

"Trust me I can barely open my eyes." Lexa said, quietly.

"I do trust you." Clarke said, before getting up and leaving.

Clarke looked around and saw Koda laying down near the fire pit area. "I'll try but I don't know if I can." Clarke sat down and got to work.

About ten minutes later, Clarke had a fire going. "Yes!" Clarke said, quietly. Koda stood up on his back legs. "You are so cute." Clarke told Koda. Koda laid down by the fire.

Clarke stood up quietly, grabbed a spear from the shelter and went back to the lake. Clarke saw a few fish and of course she missed them.

"Every single one of you are assholes and I don't even know if half of you have assholes." Clarke said. "Clarke shut up." Clarke told herself.

Clarke kept trying until after what felt like hours she speared a smaller fish. "Thank you." Clarke sighed. The fish was decent sized but not as big as Clarke would have liked.

Clarke took it back to the fire to cook it. Koda was still by the fire. Clarke prepared the fish and put it on the fire to cook.

Clarke ate her half and gave a little bit to Koda. Clarke brought the other half to Lexa, who was asleep. Clarke sat down and placed the fish down. She rubbed Lexa's back to wake her.

A few seconds later, Lexa mumbled something. "There's fish if you want it." Clarke said. Lexa rolled onto her back and opened her eyes. Clarke hairs out of Lexa's face, Clarke felt Lexa's head. "You're warmer."

"I feel worse." Lexa mumbled.

"Did you eat anything?" Clarke asked, running a thumb over Lexa's cheek.

"I tried to eat the nuts and stuff but I almost threw it up." Lexa rubbed her face.

"You do look really pale." Clarke said. "Just make sure you stay warm even though you feel warm. Do you need anything?" Clarke got up.

"Stay." Lexa said, grabbing her hand. Clarke didn't hesitate to lay down next to Lexa. Lexa cuddled into Clarke. Lexa had her head in her neck and pulled her close. Clarke wrapped her arms around Lexa and gently rubbed her back.

Clarke pulled the blanket up on them and leaned her head into Lexa's. Clarke gently rubbed Lexa's back. Lexa hooked a leg over her's.

Almost instantly Lexa fell back asleep. Clarke closed her eyes and felt something touch her leg. Clarke opened her eyes and looked up. Clarke saw Koda laying down next to her leg. Clarke smiled to herself and closed her eyes again, feeling asleep.
