Regina(On Hold) // The 100

019

I sat against the wall and watched Kane attempt to pull the chains off of his foot. I haven't said a single word to him in English since being locked up, and I could see how hard it was to not talk to me.

I knew he'd never be able to slide the chain off his foot, and neither could I. So instead, I pounded a large rock against my chains hoping I could break them. My knife had been slid behind me so no one would see it if they came in.

"Kane, stop," Jaha, the other man with us, said. I didn't know much about Jaha, but I did know that he was the chancellor before Kane and that he was Wells's dad. "If they wanted to kill us, they would have done it already."

Kane looked at Jaha. "Two days without food or water."

"Come on. How many times on the Ark did we go two days without water? This... It's not how our story ends, Marcus. We wind up in the same train station on the ground... just to die in it? We've still got work to do."

Kane glanced at me as I repeated the same phrase over and over. "Moba, Noni(I'm sorry, Dad)." I wanted to say it so he could understand me, but he wouldn't accept me as his daughter after he finds out what exactly I did to ruin Skaikru's chances at survival. And now he's Chancellor. A Chancellor that should've been executed for his crimes.

"How can you be so sure?" Kane asked Jaha.

Jaha lowered his voice. "My son told me."

I kept repeating to Kane that I was sorry, but he didn't know. He probably thought I was going insane. I only stopped when we heard the door click.

We looked up at it as a Grounder opened the metal door and walked in followed by three more people. Kane stood up ready to make a negotiation.

Jaha stayed on the ground, and two men went to him and forced him up. "Stop. We came in peace," Kane said. The two men punched Jaha repeatedly. "We came in peace. Please!" Kane pointed at me. "She brought us here."

The two men finally took hold of Jaha peacefully and then looked at me. "Fragheda isn't one of us," one of them said. "She's Skaikru."

Kane didn't understand that his people were referred to as Skaikru. No one else said anything, but one of the men nodded to a peasant girl behind him.

I had to look twice to make sure that was who I thought it was. The commander.

She walked with a slight limp to the corner while carrying a container of water.

"You speak of peace, while you send an assassin into one of my villages," the Grounder, who I knew as Gustus, said.

"What are you talking about?"

"Blood." Gustus looked at Lexa. "Must have blood." He pulled out a knife. "One of you will die here today... by another's hand." He looked at me expecting that I'd be the one to pick up the knife and stab it into the chest of one of the men in front of me. "I will hear the terms of your surrender... from the two that live." Gustus threw the knife down. "Konge osir taim bilaik odon(Fetch us when it's done)," he said to Lexa.

Kane and Jaha stared at the knife on the ground, and then Jaha looked at me. He waited to see if I would pick up the knife, but if I wanted to kill him, I would've already done it.

They reclaimed their spots on the ground as they tried to think of a solution that doesn't end with death.

"They want us to turn on each other," Jaha said.

"They want one of you to kill me," I spoke up for the first time since being thrown in here.

Lexa looked at me and completely ignored my statement. "They want justice." Kane and Jaha didn't know she was the commander, and I knew exactly what she was doing. She could see Skaikru's true intentions, and she could witness the death of Fragheda.
