 L una offered a small smile, muted from joviality by the saddening occasion that promtped this conversation. But the expression was there, in response to Derrick's admitted lack of surprise. She then gave another small nod at his question, though she suspected he already knew the answer to it.
"She is entrusting me with this position of leadership among our people," she began to say, the burden clear in her tone. The last time Luna had been working towards such an offer -- becoming Heda -- she had rejected it. She had run from it. Not because she feared the burden, but because she feared the bloodshed. She had killed her own brother and couldn't imagine being forced to kill another. "I once ran from my responsibilities." Even if she had not felt that same entitlment as perhaps other Natblidas did. "I fear disappointing our people." An admittance she would only ever make to Derrick. A confession of being inadequate; of not leading them the way they deserved to be led.

 H e was gentle. Which hardly came as a surprise. She had known that since they became friends, growing up together, and now living here together. She trusted him; with her heart, body, mind and soul. A deep love felt for him for all the years they had been together. For all that time that allowed them to build this strong bond they now shared.
Luna knew she would be lost without him. He had given her a way out so many years ago and he selflessly took it with her despite the danger. Her mind often fleeted back to that moment on tonight's anniversary. Unsure how to every fully express her gratitude to Derrick for remaining with her during all this time. With their lips brushed against each others, he didn't move from it either.
Nothing in his body's indication or the expression he held, suggestion that he didn't want this. So she went with these instincts. With that, she properly pressed her lips against Derrick's in a kiss, her fingers weaving into his hair, running through his locks as she slightly parted her lips, allowing him access to deepn it should he so desire to. Because now that she had tasted him, now that she had kissed him -- a sensation that consumed all her senses -- she wasn't sure she would ever be able to let go.

L una's hands didn't stop shaking, not even when Derrick came to help wipe the blood. Could she ever truly stop seeing it? A stain on her skin. Her hands, a constant reminder of the life she had taken. A life that was so precious to her. Now gone. He told her he was here for her, and the words would give her comfort . . . if she wasn't completely in shock of what had just happened. Unable to accept that her brother really was dead. That she had been the one to make it happen. It was Derrick's next words that finally brought forth a reaction from her. Albeit, belatedly. When he told her to look at him, she did. Turning her head, eyes wide with wonder. What he was suggesting . . . the possibility of a way out . . . was it truly possible?
"H-How?" She questioned. Finally able to speak, her words stammered and hardly smooth. Staggered breaths escaping her. "They'll kill me. They'll kill both of us." If they were caught; if discovered. And she could not have any more blood on her conscience. Derrick was the last person left that she so deeply cared about. She would not survive his loss. "Wwhere will we go?" Why was she still speaking of this even? "N-No." She abruptly turned her head away, shaking it slightly, trying to push the thought out of her mind. "I can't . . . we can't leave. It's too dangerous." And yet, she couldn't go back out there either. So what was the alternative. She hadn't even realized that her water soaked hands now clutched at Derrick's shirt, as if afraid of letting him go. Of what that would mean. For the only safety and security she found, was with him.

L una's brother was also a Nightblood! I imagined them to be quite close, growing up together and a strong support for one another! Luna was forced to kill him in the conclave, and I guess my personal head!canon is that he knew that one of them had to die . . . and he wanted to make sure it wasn't her! But anyhoo, that can always be changed! haha! I would LOVE to have someone play his brother here on the site! His name is open, the face claim is open, its basically all up to you and your wonderful creativity! I would love threads with them as children, and of course AUs of what if he didn't die! Feel free to reply here OR to PM me if this possible character strikes your fancy! Thanks for taking the time to read!! =D

L una had thought Derrick got free. That he would pull her out and cease the torture. But . . . he had taken the chip. She knew why he did it. If the situation were reversed, she would have done so as well, if only to no longer see the one she loved in so much pain. She went from having the water poured over her with a cloth, to the aggressive forced dunk of her head into the water. By Derrick. When he pulled her up, she gasped for breath, trying to remain composed, calm. She could handle a little pain. She was more concerned about what taking this chip meant for Derrick. What it meant for the others who had also taken it. The opening of the door caught her attention as one of the orphans was dragged in.
One that Luna was incredibly close to. Concerned flickered across her features as she watched helplessly. Derrick knew her weaknesses. In order to get to her, one did not have to inflict violence on her. But inflict it on anyone else, anyone she cared about . . . well, that would certainly Luna's mind. But she could not let it get so far. Her eyes locked onto the young girl, knowing that it was time. Time to fight, even against her own people. Her teeth sunk into the skin of Derek's hand, biting him hard enough so that he would let go.
With that, she pulled the dagger he held on him and spun around, stabbing one of the guards. One of her guards. Another life claimed. Another murder committed. There was no time to think on that though. Having taken advantage of the close proximity of Derrick, Luna quickly grabbed his head and slammed it on the edge of the tub that she had just been dunked into. Enough to make him pass out. The other two guards began to advance toward her, and Luna eliminated them quickly, slitting one in the throat and stabbing the other.
Blood on her hands that would never be washed. But alas, what choice did she have. Skaikru barged into the room, but Luna didn't have time to react to them. She quickly restrained Derrick, tying his arms and legs together. A few more guards hurried in and Luna explained that they needed to put him somewhere safe. So that he was not a threat to others, and himself. Once that was done, there was a memorial held for those who passed. One where she gave Skaikru another drink and once they passed out, they were returned to land. Luna's focus now remained on her lover. With each day that passed, she went to see him.
To give him food and water, feeding him, trying to give him a drink, but he wouldn't take anything. She was terrified he was going to die from malnourishment alone. He was being held in a shipping container and Luna visited him as much as she could. But it broke her heart, to see him this way. Looking into his eyes she believed he was still in there, somewhere. As she pleaded, begged for her Derrick to return to her. But with no success. Would he be like this forever? As the days rolled by, Luna felt more and more afraid of that possibility. But she wouldn't lose hope. She would never give up on Derrick.

from water we are born, to water we return
N o. Anger didn't always have to lead to violence. But more often than not, it did. "And how many times have you witnessed it not lead to that?" She asked him softly, somewhat rhetorically. It was a natural emotion, but the lack of control of it . . . she had seen it start wars. She had seen it cause death. Whatever war Skaikru was involved in, anger most certainly had to do with it. Just as it did from the other clans. She took in a slow breath, trying to keep herself composed when he questioned how she could not feel anything.
"I may not feel anger, but that does not mean I do not feel other emotions." Emotions that she wished she didn't have to feel. She had not expected she'd need to bury the man she loved, dead by her hand. Guilt. Pain. Agony. Emotions that may not be centered around rage, but they were pained ones. Ones that she knew she could not fully recover from. He then spoke ambiguously about things he had done in his own anger.
Yet conceding that they were never worth it. Even further admitting that he wouldn't blame her for hating them. . . as he did. "I can feel that from all of you. The anger. The hatred." So many darkened emotions. Scarred from the world out there that Luna kept herself and others sheltered from. Or well, at least she had tried to. "But where does that hatred come from?" She asked gently, a personal inquiry as to why he himself, felt so much hate.
For Octavia, it was clear. For Clarke, perhaps Lexa's death had elicited such things. But Jasper . . . she did not know. His next question caused her heart to ache. A pain shooting through it, not that it ever stopped. She felt numb, the question not one she was hesitant to answer. But vocalizing it, continued to acknowledge his lacking presence. The fact that he would never hold her again.
She would never speak to him again. She would never see him smile again. So much lost in a single person . . . the most important person to her for so many years. Her head turned to look at the shrouded body, resting there. "He was my soul mate." The revelation not meant to sound cheesy, or sappy. It was a factual statement. That one word, encompassing so much when it came to their relationship. He was more than just a partner, more than just a companion. He had been a part of her . . . and now, he was gone.

T he security and comfort of his arms wrapped around her was unlike any other. It instantly warmed her entire body, soothing her heart and soul. His presence always did that. It was why she had depended on him in so many ways. They had been friends for a long time. And . . . she loved him. She knew that, and hoped that he knew it too even if the words had been left unsaid. Hearing his agreement over her thoughts of her brother brought a small smile to her lips, basking in the memory of him. Not how his life ended but the life he had lived before then.
The pain of his loss would always burden her heart, but she could not dwell in it. What would there be left in this world if she only wallowed in agony and pain? Derrick's words about her brother keep that gentle smile on her lips. "He will always be with us," she said, reminding herself as well. A comfort in that, knowing he was always near. "And live on in us." In the bond that they held. In all that they had learned from him. She had killed him, but she could never destroy his spirit. His reassurance that he would stay with her flooded relief within her. She didn't have to be alone tonight. She could have the company of her closest friend and that, would make the night far easier to endure.
His words were matched with a perfect kiss on the top of her head as she closed her eyes, basking in the feeling of his lips. Better felt when he kissed her forehead. It drew a quiet sigh from her lips, filled with contentment, with peace. Instinctively, she titled her head up a little, her eyes still closed, using her knowledge of his body to inch closer to his mouth. As if there was a force suddenly pulling her toward him. She paused, her lips hovering over his, hardly an inch between them. She could feel his warm breath, the slight brush of their barley touching lips. She moved a hand to his cheek, her fingers tracing over his jaw as she just soaked in the feeling of his body, silently waiting to see if this was something that he wanted. Or if she was getting too caught up in the moment.

L una was no fool. She could feel the tension between her and their leader. But nor did she do anything to discourage it. There was not much that could be done. She was here for the greater good. Because she would rather support a cause that brought the others to unite, rather than tear them apart through war and animosity. There was lacking trust and while Luna held no knowledge as to why, the fact of the matter was that they were now forced to collaboratively work together. To save everyone.
After a few nights of the journey one day came where she had offered to hunt for them. She didn't need anyone to go with her, but the leader said he would. She did not wait for him. She just brought her make shift spear, a dagger that she kept with her that had belonged to Derrick and she was off. Making her way through the woods, with the other man's presence nearby. Silence filled the air, though Luna did not find it uncomfortable. She could not speak for the other man though. "What is it you think I will do?" She asked him softly, not looking at him. She assumed his reasons for coming certainly didn't have to do with wishing her safety and offering protection. It was due to suspicion. It was the only logical reason, especially considering the air between them.

L una didn't always initiate violence. She had however hit another Natblida in the face today when they told her that her hair looked like a bees nest. It was unnecessary, and she almost felt guilty for it afterwards. But instead of apologizing, she just marched off. A disapproving glance from Titus at the immaturity level of the exchange. Her brother thought it was amusing. Luna would target him next if he started using that insult against her. Instead, the young Natblida was wandering around the woods, deciding to see her friend. He was just outside the city, and she had just managed to catch the back of him, fleeing from somewhere.
Curiosity peaked in the young girl as she bounded off after him, her hair bouncing at the speed in which she ran. Until he stopped. She hid behind a tree, peeking her head out from the side to just silently watch him. He looked sad. Upset. Something had happened. Deciding that it wasn't nice to spy on him when he was feeling this way, Luna revealed herself and started to follow his path along the rocks so that she could meet up with him. "Derrick!" She called out, effortlessly making her way over the rocks that led them further in the midst of the water. "Are you ok?" She asked, concerned as she finally stopped when near him and looked at her friend curiously.

L una gave a small nod in agreement. "As am I," she expressed, glad for all those they were able to get to in time. Before they too become victims of violence and war. So many wished to escape. Luna knew that feeling firsthand; being forced in situations where they were to be warriors, yet having no desire to actually kill. Had she known such a place could exist . . . she would have come here well before her training even commenced. She watched him intently, seeing his reaction to the saddening news.
It was expected, but still difficult to accept. That their leader was truly gone. She led them to her room, a place private enough to speak, without interruption. Closing the door behind them, she turned to look at Derrick, the unwavering soft gaze in her eyes, an underlying expression of sadness due to the loss that everyone here in Floukru would be feeling. "She asked me to lead Floukru," Luna revealed, unsure of how much time alone with Derrick she would have. Needing to cut to the chase and . . . well, having to make a decision soon. If not her, then they would need to discuss who another well suited candidate would be.

I t followed them he said. Which was precisely why Luna knew that the only want to escape it, was to isolate herself from the source. From the other clans, from the Mountain Men. From Skaikru. From all the threats, all the danger, all the violence that seemed to plague these people. But now, it had been among her people as well. Forced to kill, forced to engage in this war that she neither wanted nor sought after. It didn't seem like this Skaikru wished for that either. Luna supposed that not every necessarily desired violence.
Sometimes circumstances forced a person. Just like this one had. But then he questioned as to why she wasn't pissed. Why she was not enraged. She looked at him, her expression unwavering, though she noticed the glisten in his eyes. The expression he held. The demeanour of his body. "Anger insights violence," she began to explain. It was part of the cause of violent acts. "Hostility, revenge . . . what good will it do. It certainly will not bring back those we mourn." She saw Octavia, the anger within the woman.
Raging, for the death of her loved one. So much anger. So much hate. Luna could not live that same way. She could not blacken her heart to the color of her blood. "Anger does nothing, but encourage more hate and violence. It is a vicious cycle that I will not partake in nor continue." Not here. Not in this safe haven . . . or a place that used to be safe. Now, Luna was not quite sure. What she had decided though, was that Skaikru needed to leave. For Clarke was relentless, and Luna's instincts told her the young woman would not give up her goal she had in mind when coming here.

L una smiled, feeling a wave of relief wash over her as Lexa assured her that she did not in fact wake her. That sleep had been difficult for her too. "I know the feeling," Luna offered in return. Sleep was increasingly difficult the more time they were hear. Sometimes, nightmares haunting her that their Heda was dead and the conclave would take place. There was an irony that Luna could not ignore. That she people she was closest to, were ones that she may have to kill; or at least engage in a battle to the death with.
It was what often kept her up at night, and while she should be distancing herself from strengthening such bonds with the others . . . it was too late for that. She was already close to them. The impact of whatever would happen already too great. Pushing the thoughts from the surface of her mind, she entered Lexa's room, taking her up on her silent request as she joined her, seating on the bed. Becoming a little more comfortable as she folded her legs up under her, her body turned toward her fellow Natblida.
"I was just thinking about . . . our future." She hoped that was descriptive enough, that it brought to awareness what plagued her nights. She smiled once more when Lexa offered her support; emotional support. It was what Luna felt was helping her get through this entire thing. All the tireless training, the departure from her family with the exception of her brother. "And I'm here for you too," she told her softly, the smile on her lips to match. "Speaking of which, what is keeping you awake?" She inquired, wondering if it was the same reason, or perhaps no reason at all.

D espite the isolation of Floukru, the rumors had touched their home. Speaking of a dire situation that was bringing together different clans . . . and Skaikru. This both intrigued Luna and concerned her. She did not know the details of what was happening, only that it was incredibly serious. And would affect everyone. She had most certainly heard that before from the group of Skaikru that had come aboard the rig. Telling her that the threat would affect her, that they needed to fight. Luna had not wished to take part in it. But this time . . . others were uniting against a common foe. That was not apparently an individual or group of people.
That was precisely why she had decided to shed some light on these rumors, and further her knowledge of it. The only way to do that . . . was by speaking directly with Skaikru. So she made one of her rare journeys to land, swiftly heading toward the known home of Skaikru. It was all, unfamiliar. But Lune had no time to express the curiosity of its building.
Instead, she approached the gate, instructing those accompanying her to wait several steps back as she walked closer, calmly, despite the weapons pointed directly at her and demands to know who she was and what she wanted. "I wish to speak to your leader," she told them in a gentle voice, unafraid, unaffected by the guns. She had to remain composed and reveal that she was no threat. "My name is Luna." Perhaps that would help, if the ones familiar with her were still here. Then they would know she came in peace.
