Life is about more than just surviving

Chapter 1

LEXAS POV
I hear what skaikru call gunshots from Clarke's room and run immediately to see what is going on. As I walk in, I'm taken back by a sharp pain in my shoulder and see Titus holding a gun that was aimed at Clarke until I got in the way. I look down at my shoulder, then up at Titus, rage boiling inside of me.

"Heda, I'm sorry. I'm doing what you couldn't"

He gets up and aims the gun back at Clarke. I know if I don't move quickly, he is going to kill Clarke right in front of me. I manage to throw my body in front of her and knock us both down.

"Guards, stop him" I yell, with anger and hurt in my voice. Guards come running in at the sound of my voice.

"Get him out of here, put him in a cage"

Titus drops the gun at the sight of the guards coming in and take him away. I am so angry, I seem to forget I have been shot, until I hear Clarke's voice

"Lexa, are you okay, let me look at that"

I listen to her words and sit on her bed, not letting her see the fear in my eyes of what will come of my shoulder after seeing an injured Indra laying on a battlefield in the same position I now see myself.

I only wrote about 230 words being as this is the first chapter of my first story, but there will be more written in future ones!!
