Krazy Kane

Vulnerable Me

Luisa

I was sitting at my new desk inside the chancellor's quarters, enjoying the feeling of being in charge. But I knew that it was going to be a responsibility and I couldn't irrationally kill anymore or Pike would rise again.

There was a knock at my door and my father came in to debrief me on the things going on in Arkadia. They had moved to rationing food, people were in prison, we were the Commander's first target but Clarke convinced her to put a blockade around us to fix our troubles as she called off the attack.

"Why are there people in cages?" I asked. "Pike put them there after Mount Weather with his belief that all Grounders are bad," he told me. I stood and we walked out.

Going to the lock up, I had a guard open the gate to set them free. Nyko thanked me and took the sick woman to the medical center.

"Octavia told me you're the queen and chancellor," Lincoln said. "You don't have to bow," I responded. I shook his hand and he walked out.

"What are you doing?" Bellamy came by with a thick voice. "You can't just let them go." "I just did because they didn't do anything wrong. We let them in to be healed not sealed up," I responded.

I withheld myself from saying anything that could hurt him and backed away. "You speak like your grandmother," Kane commented which I lightly smiled to.

"Chancellor Kane," Miller called out and we both turned. Miller directed his words to me, "There's a man requesting to see you outside the gates. He goes by rogue."

I nodded and quickly walked away from them and went outside. It was cloudy and it almost seemed like it was going to rain. Lincoln was at the front gate, interrogating the king and glanced at me when I stepped out.

"Aren't you supposed to be ruling?" I asked. "I am. We found the last Mountain Man who gave the assassin a passcode to blow the facility. I thought you would be there to end his line but Clarke took him instead. You're out here..." he didn't finish and panned his eyes around the camp. "Ruling over a dying clan."

"It must be Cage or Emerson," I muttered, discarding his last comment. "Cage is dead," Lincoln said aloud and I glared it him for eavesdropping. "Emerson's more suitable since he was a guard," I said. "I would kill him with my bare hands but I'm too busy here."

"You should be with me, working with Azgeda," he said. "That's what you're for," I stated. I looked at the camp and said, "Our men are part of blockade, send some out to do hunting for us when you pass the trees and get back to your duties." He smirked, "They'll come back with a feast."

I rolled my eyes and motioned Lincoln to hand me his walkie. "Click the red button and you'll be able to contact me," I said, giving it to him. "Use it." He grabbed before getting on his horse and trotted away.

"Oh, shut up," I dragged out when Lincoln looked at me. We went inside and to my room where my father had set up a board of the sectors along with Octavia and Monty.

"We will have food brought to us but we can't rely on deliveries," I said. "What open space do we have to set a farm or possibly have another Arkadia site." "With Pike, we took samples at the land near the river. There's rich soil there," Monty said.

"There's a village there," Lincoln stated. "That's the problem," I murmured. "Is there a way we can move them?" "Where?" "We could try welcoming them in?" Kane suggested. "They hate us for murdering their army," Lincoln said. "We can negotiate terms or they will fight us for that land."

"Go, tell them I sent you," I said. Lincoln nodded and he left with Octavia, allowing us to figure out our next move. "We can get more land near Ice Nation. I know it's not useful for farming but something else, like a trade post."
