The Forgotten Prince

Part 12

Theo's Pov

I've been sitting here on this bed for what feels like hours , I'm just consumed in my own thoughts .

I can't kill Mother , the whole of Azgeda will want my head if I do . But I made a promise to Costia that I would keep Lexa safe.  So a part of me wants to just let Lexa kill me , then it will be all over. My mother won't get power over the coalition, and I would have kept my promise to Costia. 

Hearing the door open, my head snaps up, and I see Mother walk into the room . Standing up, I bow down and prepare myself for the worst .

"Rise Theo," she says, and I lift my head back up , seeing her eyes wander over my scars. A disgusting smirk makes its way on her face .

"You'll kill Lexa. If not, I'll wipe out all of Skaikru and the people you care for," She says as she looks me dead in my eyes, and I gulp down. 

"This is what we have been training for your whole life , don't let me down Theo. Otherwise, the people you care for will wish for dead . " She states as she harsly grips my chin .

"Don't you want to make me proud Theo" she continues as she softens her hold and lays her hand on my cheek. 

"I do mother " I whisper as I lean into her soft touch that I don't think I've ever felt in my life .

"Then tomorrow you'll kill Lexa " she whispers as she leans up and my eyes immediately close waiting for a slap or something but all I feel is a soft kiss on my forehead .

"Make me proud Theo " she says and as fast as she walked into the room,  she walked out again . Looking at the door in confusion I run my hand trough my hair and sit back down on the bed .

Laying down in the bed I place my hands behind my head and soon flashes  from the past consume me again .

Memory

"Mother look " I yell as my smal legs run into the direction of my mother   crashing my body against her legs she looks down on me with disgust .

As she pushes me away from her a frown makes its way on my face,  sticking my hand out with the flowers i found the look on her face doesn't change.

"I found these for you mother " I say with a smile,  but there is not sign off happiness or love on her face .

As she takes the flowers out my hand, she trows them into the nearby fire, and tears start to form in my eyes.

"Y-you don't want them," I say as tears run down my face. 

"Go train Theo," she harsly says with still that loveless look on her face. 

Running out of the room quickly, my little body crashes into somebody else, and I wrap my arms around the person. 

"What's wrong, little prince?" I hear the voice of Roan, and when I look up with my red puffy eyes, he lifts me up, and I wrap my arms around his neck .
