The Ice Queen

chapter 18

Clarke

After such a nice morning waking up in Lexa arms it felt like torture to be sat in that meeting my own mother not even sparing me a look and when I lost my temper and she had no choice to look at me I saw nothing in her eyes not recognition not pain not anything but anger that we didn't agree with her and it made me furious. I just want to scream and hit someone, if I was home I would take to running the Azgade tracks to clean my head but instead I find myself storming toward the large forest for some fresh air.

Finally I come to a stope and place my hand on a tree and rest my head against it trying and failing to calm my breathing and my anger, I'm the queen I need to be better at hinding my emotions expecially anger that's why everyone hate Nia and I don't want to turn into her.

The sound of birds chirping and wind whipping throught the tree calmed me I started to breath when I hurd a branch snap and I look up to see Doran Kom TriKru with a blade in hand I hate him, he never shuts up I understand Nia killed his family but I'm not her and he's no more then a foot soldier.

"I see that look in your eye!" He growls and I can instantly tell he's here to try and kill me. "You don't see the hurt your people have brought us" I can see thr rage in his dark brown eyes. "TO ALL OF US" He roars viciously and with out a moment to think he throws a blade at me which I doge with ease.

"I'm not Nia and I do not rule the way she did" I snap back defending myself and my people, the people of Azgada didn't want war Nia did they want peace like most of us.

"You lie all Azgada lie!" He runs at me unshething his sword and running at me I'm weponless having followed the TonDC customs and leaving all weapons behind as he attacked I'm forced to do nothing but doge when a solid blow to the face knocks me to the ground and I whise having lost all the air from my lungs. That's when I pull myself to my feet fighting the urge to lay there winded. Doran flys at me again this time his sword makes contact with my skin a cold burn across my stomach as just as I allow myself to feel the pain another shape pain reputs in my right arm as his blade is ran through my shoulder and I can't help but clutch my arm and fall from the sickening pain.
Look up I see Doran raise his blade about to end my life when a blade slips straight through his throat and blood dips out of him mouth before he falls to the ground dead.

Clutching my arm I pull my self to my feet feeling dizzy and very much in pain that when my eye lock with thoughs of the green eyed Commander I've grown rather fond of this last month. Lexa quick to my side and she quickly ripe her shirt tieing a knot around the top of the wond and placing another strip over the open hole in my arm to try and cover it, not that it does much with the amount of blood driping out of it.

"I'm sorry I should have realised Doran would do something like with after losing his homon to the Ice war he's not fond of the Azgade" she explains

"It's fine I'm just glad it's not my dominant arm meaning I can still swing a sword" We both chuckle and she starts leading me back toward camp when a deafening roar fill the forest, a roar I've only hear about in story's.

"Pauna" Lexa says and then we head into a run the blood loss and excruciating pain making it difficult and I clumsily follow the heda.

Then I see it jet black fur and the size of 10 of the larges TriKru, it resembles a large gorilla and animal I rambert reading about on the Ark, but it's bigger much, much bigger and its eyes are cold and sole less. Standing frozen I staring at the large animal in complete shock unable to move my feet I was sure the animal was just a fairytail made up.

Suddenly I'm drag out of my shock by Lexa whom grabs my arms and rips me away and I suddenly remember how to move my feet and I run as fast as my weaken body could take me when we come pain what looks like was at one point a annormos cage for this beast.

"Clarke jump" Lexa says as we come to a ledge and I throw myself of it land in a heap my body slowly but surely running out of energy Lexa also lands the drop wrong meaning she bashes her shoulders hard, she still pulls herself and me up wrapping her arm around my body and dragging me with her. We realise we're inside still working part of the cage and then the large animal slowly creeping in trying to corner its pray and with in a moment it charge giving us the perfect time to duck out and slame the door to a close.
We both lay panting hearing the animal roar with frustration now its trapped. I look to Lexa now completely out of energy and seeing black blobs in my vision and then I look to my arm the make shift bandage already completely soaked through and blood now dripping down my arms.

"Let's move, this cage isn't going to hold him forever" Lexa checks over her shoulder determining it's only a scrap and bruise before wrapping an arm around me and helping us both head towards the camp.

We can't go any further as I'm to weak on the vurg of passing out from blood loss. Lexa lays me down on the ground gentle and starts to make a fire to at least keep us warm.

"Ckarke look at me I need you to stay awake while I quaterise this wound if I don't do it we could risk you dying" I nod watching as she places her blade in the fire she finds a thick stike and passes it to me.

"I'm not going to like this" I say looking at the now red blade, Lexa shakes her head and I place the think stick in my mouth. Lexa cuts the rest of my sleave of before poring alcohol from a flask on the already red blade and then on my shoulder I whimper at the sting from the alcohol and Lexa offer me a swig which I gladly take before putting the stick back Into my mouth and with out warns white hot pain erupt in my arm and the smell of burning flesh i scream out in pain before black dot appeare and then I completely pass of from tortured pain.
