The Skaiprisa

Chapter 31

My mind keeps racing who poisoned Clarke. Will they do it again?. Have they already tried?.
I go through the list of people who's had contact with Clarke.

Axton. Clarke's person guard.
The chef's possibly?
Octavia. No it couldn't be her.
My personal gaurds?
Titus?.

No I trust all of them at least I think I do. Who else has access to Clarke.

I sit here in my throne listening as the ambassador's all take guess and everything they come up with is unrealistic ideas of what could have happened.

One said that they sent a small flying device into the tower and dropped poison into Clarke food, could you imagine. I had to fight the urge to roll my eyes.

The ideas were all a waste of time until something click the only new person in Clarke and I's life. The very person Clarke is with now.

I drop the dagger in my hand and all eyes turn to me as it clangs along the floor. I catch eyes with Anya and it's like she knows instantly we both rise to our feet and Anya pulled the door open with out another word we dropped everything and ran. We have two floor to get up and we took the stairs knowing the elevator would not be quick enough. My adrenaline is pumping and I'm ready to kill in an instant.

I run out into the hall to see both the standing guard from outside my room dead and the door open. I rush down the hallway.

I freeze at the sight in front of me. The room is a mess candles broken and on the floor the table smashed in half and then I see it Flora Clarke's maid strangling Clarke, she thrashing around as she fight but I see her weaken as she starts to go red, I suddenly snap out my shock and rush towards Clarke.

Before I can get to her two large Ice nation men walk out my bath room and attack me I fight hard nearly being hit a few, to many time. I manage to get a good hit on the large man when he leaves his left side exposed. That seem to anger him more and he became sloppy but more aggressive in his attack.

My eyes catch Clarke as I see her now lead hardly able to keep her eyes open as she pulls at Floras hand almost pointlessly, scratching with pleading eyes.

I run my sword through the large sloppy man and then pull it out with a grunt before ramming it into the chest of the other man. I won't watch Clarke suffer. I grab Flora by the shoulder yanking her of Clarke. Clarke instantly starts gasping and coughing tears streaming down her face as she try's to inhale as much oxygen as she can. Anya takes Flora and I rush to Clarke's side.

"Clarke, Clarke can you hear me" she nods her head holding her neck, I can see the purple marks already making themselves known on her body. She still look dazed as her eyes scan the room.

"Clarke" I say gently placing my hand on her chin and pull her face to look at me, fear and pain swirls around the blue orbit of her eyes and I feel like it's all my fault. I move my hand from her chin and wrap my arms around her pulling her in, I hold her and she holds me.

"Are you okay" I ask once I've pulled away to look her once again in the eyes, she gives me a small smile.

"Y...Yees" she croaks her voice weak from being strangled and she seem pale.

"You get some rest Ai Hodnes, I will deal with this" I place a kiss to the temple of her head and stand up. "Anya you are to stay with Clarke, you can be accompanied by Octavia of the Skaikru or my maid no one else is to enter the commander's chambers" I say and she simply nods.

Flora has long since been been taken to the cell. I pace furiously back and forth knowing I can't go in this angry I need to have a plane I need to get information out of her. not kill her.

I gather myself up pulling up my stoic expression before walk in, I find the girl sat with her head in her hands resting on her knees in a ball. She seem calm, relaxed that made me angry. My blood boiling in my veins as I see her.

"Flora Kom Trikru" I growl as she lifts her head a bored expression showing on her face.

"Oh might Lexa Kom Trikru Heda of the twelve clans. A weak girl" she says in a sarcastic tone rolling her eyes as if my title means nothing.

"I've know you since you was a child Flora why would you do this, was I not kind too your mother, too you" I look down at her she's drops her eyes and looks at the ground. Is she ashamed of what she's done?.

"You was good to me and my Family" she says in a weak tone her eyes filled with emotions when she look up at me. "But my farther he's Azgada the only family I have, I need to make him proud, you are the reason the rest of my family is killed. Because you won't hand over command to the ice nation" I release what she's says her mother died as a warrior in the war against the Ice Nation she must blame me. "I lost the person I love you deserve to feel my pain" she erupts into sobs and it almost makes me break my mask. I turn around and start walking out.

"I'm sorry" I say and then I hear her scream and banging at the bars as I exit the tower's prison.
