The Forgotten Prince

Part 13

Theo's Pov

"Theo." I hear someone whisper, feeling somebody run their fingers through my hair. I slowly  force my eyes open.

"Hey," I groan out as I slowly sit up and look down my body to see the wound stitched up .

"Don't ever put a spear in me again " I mumble as I stand up and grab the cub of water on the table , drinking from the cub I feel water run down my jawline and abs and I feel eyes staring at me .

"It's rude to stare," I say as I put the now empty cub down, and I think I saw the smallest of blushes made their way on Lexa's face. 

"Where's Roan?" I ask the girl, and she gives me an apologetic smile."He had gone back to Azgeda, " she says, and I nod my head .

"What will you do, Theo?" Lexa asks me as she stands up and walks over to me .

"Azgeda will want my head for killing my mother , Roan won't be able to stop them all, so I don't really know," I say as I run my hand through my hair .

Pacing around the room in search for a shirt, I feel a hand on my shoulder . Turning around, I come face to face with Lexa. Raising my brow at her she gives me a small smile. 

"What do you want Theo?" She asks me, and I don't think anyone has ever asked me that before .

"I don't know," I breathe out with a heavy sigh . Feeling Lexa place her hand on my cheek, I give her a small fake smile .

"Maybe you could stay here ?" Lexa asks me, and I pull my head away from her hand .

"I'm not sure, Lexa. I don't know who I am without my mother," I whisper as I hang down my head in defeat .

"You're a good person, Theo," I hear Lexa whisper, and I couldn't stop the scoff, leaving my lips .

"I'm a monster," I say with no emotion in my voice as I back away from her . As Lexa keeps approaching me, I keep backing up until I eventually feel the wall against my back .

"We've all done stuff we aren't proud of Theo , but here you're still a good person," Lexa whispers as she places her hand on my heart, and I frown at the gesture.

"Like throwing a spear in your mother's chest," I say with a little bite, and I  see her back away from me with a hurt expression. 

"That's what I thought," and with that, i grabbed a shirt and walked out of the room , putting the shirt on I walk through the tower and towards the exit .

"Theo," I hear somebody yell as I make my way out of the tower , ignoring the person I continue walking through Polis, and I feel all eyes on me .

Trying to mix in with the busy streets of Polis, it's not easy as people part for me and whisper to each other about God knows what .

Feeling a hand on my shoulder, I  turn around in a second and put my hand on the person's troath . Seeing blonde hair and panicked blue eyes, I release my hold on the girl . Turning back around, I  want to start walking again, but Clarke walks in front of me and puts her hand on my chest .

"I just want to talk, Theo," she soflty says, but I  push her hand off of me  .

"There's nothing to say, Clarke," I say as I walk away from the girl, but it's no use as I feel her grab my hand and pull me into an empty alley .

"Thank you," she whispers, and I send the girl a glare . "You're thanking me for killing my mother." I bite her way, and  she looks at the ground .

"It was the right thing to do," she whispers, "maybe for you." I scoff at the girl, and she snaps her head up .
