The Forgotten Prince

Part 19

Theo's Pov

After a couple of days , we reached Arkadia, and Raven stayed in the lab for something she tried to explain but didn't really understand it .

The people here, well, they all send glares my way, but nothing I haven't had before, so ow well.

There is this one guy Jaha he's been looking for the second dawn bunker, but so far, he only found the fake one .

And for the rest, well, I've been keeping to myself, really. I've wanted to go to Polis but not really aloud to leave for some reason. I just don't feel at ease around here. Maybe it's just that these people live so differently than we do. With the Goufas, it was different they were more relaxed and trying to make the best out of their freedom even tho they had the treat of the clans.

"You're thinking again," Clarke says as she takes a seat next to me, I've been sitting about 50 yards out of the camp against a tree .

"It is not a crime to think . " I say with a shrug.

"Didn't say it was," Clarke says with a smirk, and I roll my eyes at the blonde .

"How long do we have  before Praimfaya reaches us ?" I ask her as I start to play with the gras .

"About 1.5 weeks, radiation levels are rising . The water is becoming undrinkable.  And soon the black rain will fall ." Clarke breaths out, and I chuckle at her .

"You think it's funny ?" Clarke bites my way, and I shrug my shoulders .

"Everyone is trying to look for a solution, and yet if there is none, only few have truly lived these last month's." I state as I point at Jasper and a few others just messing around .

"This can not be the end, Theo," Clarke breathes out , and for some unknown reason, I scoot closer to the girl.

"Well, if it is, then you should leave this world, with no regrets," I say, and I see her eyes slowly move to the side of my face.

"Do you have regrets ?" She asks me, and I nod my head.

"Everyone has regrets, things they wish they didn't do or things they wish they did. " I say, and I feel Clarke scoot closer to me as our shoulders brush against eachoter.

"My first kill, I regret that," I whisper, and from the corner of my eyes, I can see a frown make its way on the blonde's face. 

"She was an orphan and hungry, she stole food and well she was caught . The girl was so scared and probably not older than I was at the time . " I whisper as I see the images of the fear on the girls face flash in my mind .  

"My mother sentenced her to death, and she made me do it . " I whisper , feeling Clarke carefully take ahold of my hand. I let her, and she intertwined our fingers together. 

"All because she was hungry and stole some food. " I finish in a small tone .

"I'm sorry," Clarke whispers as she lays her head on my shoulder. Feeling her rub her thumb over my hand, i release a small sigh .

"You don't have to say you're sorry. " I whisper. Feeling Clarke snuggle herself into my body, my eyes furrow, but I hesitantly wrap my arm around the girl.

"People would love this side of you, Theo," Clarke whispers as she looks up at me.

"It's not that easy, Clarke." I breathe out .

"I didn't say it is easy, I'm just saying I hope that this will win from this," Clarke says as she first points at my heart and then my head.

"So do I," I whisper, and I feel the girl place a small kiss on my cheek. As she gives me a small smile, I return it.
