The Forgotten Prince

Part 15

Theo's Pov

"Talk to me, Theo. " Clarke whispers from beside me, and I see her eyes look over my facial features. 

"I don't have anything to say," I say with a shrug as my eyes keep fixated on the door .

"Tell me about your past," she whispers, and I scoff at her words . 

"We are not friends Clarke, I do not do friendships or relationships so you better give up on that idea " I say and from the corner of my eyes I can see a frown make its way on the girls face .

"Costia was your friend," she whispers, and my head snaps in the girls' direction with a glare .

"And that was my mistake." I bite her way, but she is now the one scoffing at my words .

"You didn't kill Lexa because of your promise."You still wear the bracelet she gave you . So do not act like you don't care, Theo, " she bites back as she stands up and marches into the lab .

Seeing her walk into the lab, I release a deep breath and look at my bracelet.  She was my friend and look where that ended . Costia died, and my mother showed me that caring about someone will only bring pain . Sure, I care about Roan he's my brother, but that's about it . Love is weakness. When your enemies find out your love for another person, they will always use it against you, so it's just better to not care at all .

I keep the bracelet because I don't really know it reminds me of Costia and the talks we used to have , she was the first and only friend I ever had in my life . I couldn't keep my promise to her to keep Lexa safe, I promised her and I failed. I just hope they are together now at peace even if they both died way too early.  I didn't really know Lexa, but she was a good person haunted by her past, but she still brought peace amongst the clans . I just wonder what now is gonna happen . Clarke told me about Ontari the Natblida my mom had. I guess she was a backup plan, but she took power after Lexa's death she killed the Natblidas in their sleep . And she died after the events with the city of light , so maybe Clarke was right that me and Luna are the last Natblidas. 
 

Making my way back into the lab, I see all heads snap in my direction, but I ignore it as I walk over to Roan. 

"You need rest, Theo," he states, and I roll my eyes at him. "I'm fine, Roan," I mumble, and he just shakes his head at me .

"You had a sword through your stomach,  so rest," Roan states as he puts my arm around his shoulder .

As he walks me towards Clarke and Abby, he carefully puts me down on the chair .

"I'm not made of glass," I mumble as he grabs a cup and hands it to me , drinking the water. I give him the cub back .

"We need to clean your bandages," Clarke says as she looks at me with her mother . Releasing a small sigh, I nod my head, and soon I feel Clarke carefully take the shirt off my body , feeling pain course through my body. I bite back the yelp that tried to leave my lips .

Feeling her carefully take of the bandages, I see Roan look away from me with shame written all over his body.

"It's not your fault," I whisper, and his head snaps back in my direction,  as Roan shakes his head, "I should have protected you," and with that, he walks away from me

"It's healing nicely,  and there aren't any signs of infection " Clarke says as she looks at my wounds , feeling her hands move over my abdomen I look down at where her hand is placed .

"Why did you save me?" I mumble as I let both of our eyes connect . Seeing her take ahold of the new bandages, she starts to put them on, and the girl seems lost in thoughts.
