I walk with the President, two guards by our side.

We walk towards the basement and I look at him confused.

"You need to be checked up before we can release you outside" he explains and I nod.

"Yes sir" he smiles at my compliance and I hear screams as we reach the right floor.

"Follow the screams. Meet me in my office. I'll give you your direct order then" he tells me and I nod, breaking away from the three men.

The screams get louder as I approach a dirty, old looking room.

Guards are sat outside and inside the room and I stare one of the guards dead in the eyes.

"What do you need" he asks rudely.

I hold up my metal arm and his eyes widen.

"Talk to me like that again and you won't have a tongue to talk with" I threaten before pushing past him and into the room.

Guns are immediately raised at me and I see the line of people chained to the wall.

There's someone strapped down to the table and I hear loud sirens erupt.

My head shoots up in alarm and I look around.

People are coming our way.

I could hear bodies drop outside and roll my eyes. The door bursts open and I see a raven haired girl come in.

She manages to take out the three guards in here and my eyes widen in surprise.

She has my technique.

Her raised sword drops when she sees me and her eyes soften in relief.

"Amara, thank God" she breathes out, trying to come towards me but I pull out my swords.

Her eyes trace over my body.

I was tense. My eyes were cold.

"You're one of the people he wants dead" I state, tilting my head at her.

She raises her sword hesitantly.

"What did they do to you" she asks gently, her eyes filling with tears.

She seems familiar.

I don't understand.

I feel a sharp pain on the back of my head and my neck cranes forward at the impact of whatever just hit me.

I slowly spin around to face a skinny, derpy looking boy that's holding a metal pole tightly in his scrawny hands.

"Wrong choice" I state before grabbing the pole and ripping it out of his hands.

He whimpers in fear, trying to get away but I snatch his collar.

I study his face.

"You're not on the list" I toss him aside.

I turn back towards the girl and when she sees the dark look in my eyes, she sprints off.

I stash away my swords and groan.

I stomp after her angrily. She's not getting away that easy.

"I can't believe Lexa betrayed us, after everything" I could hear a feminine voice mumbling words to herself.

My eyes widen at the name that slipped off of her tongue and I pinned her against the wall quickly, leaning my weight on her, one of my knives aimed at her throat.

"That name. Tell me where she is" I demand, my face crazily close to hers.

My mask blocking her from seeing the carvings.

"Amara, what's going on" she shrieks, her hands enclosing around my arm to try and hold the knife away from her throat.

"You're on the list, princess. But I need to know where Lexa is. He wants her dead" I state, leaning closer to her.

I could see her shiver at our proximity and I roll my eyes.

"Tell me where she is" I demand, tightening my hold on her.

"God, I've always wanted to be this close to you. Not in this type of situation though" she groans and I glare at her.

"Tell. Me. Where. She. Is." I demand slowly and she smirks.

"Work for it" she purrs and I slam my metal fist right next to her head.

"Stop stalling and tell me where the hell she is!" I bark and she stares at me with hooded eyes.

When I realize she's only stalling and I won't get anything out of her by yelling, I formulate a plan.

I lean towards her ear and put on a sultry voice.

"Let's make a deal...princess. You tell me where she is, and I'll put you on a different kind of list" I purr in her ear, feeling her tremble and she nods over and over.

"Perfe-" she cuts me off.

"But I wanna see your face" she states and I debate it.

I get the information and leave.

I nod at her.

"Polis, probably. She left us after she got her people out" the blonde spills before leaning towards my face, her hand moving to unclasp my mask.

I grab her hand tightly.

"Thanks princess"

That seems to knock her out of whatever she was feeling and her eyes widen in shock.

I begin to walk away but she calls after me.

"I was promised something, a kiss at least!"  She yells after me and I spin to face her.

"If I'm correct, I had some sort of relationship with this Lexa girl. I'm going to finish my job" I tell her and she frowns.

"How'd you know that" she prys and I roll my eyes, sighing.

"Your thoughts are loud. You don't like her"

She doesn't like my answer and glares at me.

"Bye-Bye, princess"

She stomps her foot and I chuckle.

Bad princess.
