My Little Runaway

Hello Again

*Clarke's POV*

When I woke up, my body was no longer covered in sweat, my head no longer felt as if it were submerged under water, everything was fine. That's when I realized what had happened, Tamlin bit me. I TOLD him to bite me. And I was fine with that now. Because I finally knew how much he cared about me.

Looking around I saw that I was in Tamlin's room, he was asleep next to me. Turning to face him, I brushed his hair out of his face, he looked so cute. How I wished I could kiss those lips, so I did.

Trying not to wake him up I pecked his lips and snuggled closer to him. Immediately his arm snaked around my waist and he kissed me on the forehead. Closing my eyes I felt the tingling sensation across my body. When I opened them Tamlin's eyes were staring strait down at me, I smiled.

"Hi" I whispered, "hey" he said back. "How are you feeling?" I shrugged, "I'm alright now. You saved me" he sighed, "no you saved yourself. Your strong and fearless and...amazing. I don't know how you did it. I would never be able to handle all of that" his voice was low and sad, it made me want to comfort him.

"Where is Brice?" Tamlin growled, "don't you dare say another mans name" I groaned, " Tamlin, Brice helped me out okay. And besides, he has a mate" Tamlin frowned, "still...you can never be too sure" then he kissed me.

My eyes immediately closed and I leaned into him, my hands circled around his neck. Tamlin moved his hand down my leg to my thigh, "Tamlin we shouldn't be..." I groaned as he kissed my mark, then a flashback came to me.

"Run Clarke run I'll meet you there I promise" my dad said, blood coated his fur and wolves wee lined up at his feet trying to claw at him.

"No dad I can't leave you here" I mind linked him.

"Do as I say" he growled in his Alpha voice, making him lose all focus on the wolf that was trying to get him from behind.

"Daddy!" I screamed, but I was a second too late. The wolf had bitten my dad's neck and twisted it just enough that it snapped. "No!!!" I wanted to run to him, to put him in my arms, to kill every wolf involved in this. But I just stood there.

When I came to, Tamlin was next to me, shaking me. "Thank god! What happened? Are you okay?" I jumped out of his grasp, " don't touch me" my voice shook. Tamlin looked at me, his eyes showed me that he was confused, "Clarke what's..." he reached for my hand but I rolled off the bed before he could do so, "you killed him. how could you kill him?" Tears streaked my cheeks. "Clarke who? Who did I kill?" My body shook with fear, "he was only trying to help his family. We were starving and you wouldn't help us! Now he's dead! My dad is dead Tamlin, I don't know how I can let you touch me! His words burn into my mind every day, ' the kings orders were clear, kill John christian Blake but leave his daughter with warning of what we can do to you if you steal from the King again.' " Pulling down my shirt I stood right in front of him, " look at the scar he gave me!" Tamlin's eyes widened. Standing up he went to the door and looked at me for two seconds before speaking,

"I am not asking for a crown

I've worn one made of thorns before

That was when I was brought down

When people lost faith and built a barrier

Friends were strangers, hopes dead

Soon I became depraved and unwanted

Dark but whole, broken yet sane

And when all the love was lost

The need to rise again triggered the man within

The wait was over

It was time to let the strength of will battle against the fear of defeat

I struggled, got crumbled

Was knocked down, but never out

When the dust settled, it was me standing tall

I conquered my fears

I rose against the evil

I am not a King

But I rule....I rule in your Kingdom"
