The Ice Queen

Chapter 25

We stand at the doors of the mounting for this war to really begin we wait as Raven take down the power from the dame. I can't help but be filled with nervous as I watch waiting for the light to go out we have 60 second or we lose our chance.

We separated into two group Octavia and Indra have a group of warriors heading in through the reeper tunnel thanks to Bellamy and a girl called Maya we have access in that way, we will breach the mountain on both side. With everyone working together all clans and the skaikru we will fight like hell to win this war.

I look to Lexa who's at my side she, I can't see anything in her eyes there dark covered by war paint but I'm sure she nervous. Then she look at me our eyes meet and she offers me a small but sad smile almost like she know what I'm think, like she can feel the nerves running through my body.

But that when we hear it shots firing from above the mounting it started they used the sky people blood there not in suits.
Then the lights on the door disappeared and we know we only have 60 seconds to move, the bomb already in place but our trigger isn't working.

"A team with me to take down the mountain men" Lexa take about 10 men and then rest are good back fire. We have shields but everytime we get close someone died.

"Echo" my second stand to my right already shooting arrow at the mounting men we only have 20 seconds left. She quick to get what I think and we start making a fire we're gunna have to blow the bomb with an arrow of fire.

"Ready?" I asked and she nods dipping the end of her arrow into the fire.

"Fire" I shout with only 5 seconds to spear the gun shot have stopped and bomb blows the door to a jar it's open!

We all breath out a sigh of relief, Echo can't join this part of the battle she's still injured from her fall in the woods.
Then I see her Lexa coved in blood spatter her eyes are colder then the bitter winters in Azgade.

"It's time to march!" She breath coldly "to war" she say under her breath.

We enter the mountains and it clean no men with weapons there waiting for us on the 4th floor the only one with oxygen left, the men who haven't been given the sky people blood can survive outside the dinning hall.

Then just as we thought we were save were met with rapped gun fire I watch and men and women all around us all but what they don't know is we've got gun fire of out own I may be a grounder now but I've got a gun and I'm a pretty good shot. I start shotting the men approaching and I watch as the boy I shot no older then 19 fall to his knees dying from my weapon I wanna grieve I wanna feel guilt but this is war and they killed so many of our kinda. Before I know it the ten men shotting at us are dead and we've already lost nearly 25 men in this fight.
The further we get into mounting the more lives I take I've got from a queen who's never killed to a warrior in lest then an hour.
The worst thing is I don't even feel guilty the men who I've killed have also killer ours.

Before we know it we spilt up the sky people have been taken and we have no choice but to try and take down the whole mount Lexa stuck with me we're heading to the control room with a group of warriors and Indra and Anya are heading to the 4 floor with warriors.

As we approach the control room I see him president Wallace and armed men but his side, it clear all warriors outside the dinning room have had the blood of my sky people there cure if you like.

"Now Commander" the president speaks before any shoots are fired. "We never asked for this war you came after our mountain" he try's to blame us, "give us the sky people and we can live in peace. No more war between the mountain and the grounders" he says in a cool calm tone only address Lexa.

"You strung up and tortured our people, now you want peace?" Lexa growl angrily her tone low and threatening, "you beg for peace now your people are in the verge of being destroyed" she snaps "where was this when are people were being hunted and tortured for sport?"

"Now, now commander" he speak to her and she blow him and that just piss me off.

Before I have change to think I fire I shoot the tall man to his right quick followed by the man to his right. The president face is shock and horror.

"I'm done playing your game" I say before shooting him in the left leg making him fall to the ground.

We take him as prisoner and barricade our self's in the control room only two mountain men our left and we have the technology guy from Ark, Monty to help us hack into the mountain data base.

Before soon we're left with a decision a decision that will haunt us for the rest of us for the rest of our lives I sand my hand on the levers I've taken so many lives tonight, lives I wish I could have saved and here I stand about to take the lives of every mountain man in this place. I feel Lexa hand on mine and look at her our eyes meeting I can't see any signs of second guessing in her eyes but I know mine are filled with guilt.

"Together" she says softly her eyes softening for just a moment as she looks at me. She nods and we pull it together. My heart breaks for the children and innocent of the mountain it kills me to have taken there lives.

We walk out the control room and find blood filled corridors, corpses littering the ground men, children and women alike. I can help but look at them knowing I shouldn't but I do guilt filling my body. I'm the queen of Ice my heart should be the same.

"We had no choice..." Lexa whispers in my ear as she sands beside me her hand brushing against my own. "We must go my love" she soft softly so only I can hear her.

"I know..." i say, she walks off and I follow closely behind her through the rest of the mountain.

We release the sky people and the rest of our men.

It was my decision to kill all the mountain men, they had my mother... I may not have seen her for many years and she may not know who I am, but I couldn't let her be killed by the mountain. I killed innocent to protect someone who would see me dead if I crossed her people. Yet I would do it again...

When I see them I can't help it I run up to Abby and wrap her in my arms I'm so overwhelmed with grief and pain and relief that all I wanted was to be in my mother arms again. I can feel the surprise at first but then I feel her body soften and she wraps her arms around me we both melt into the hug.

"I knew it..." she says softly pulling away and look at me her hand gently lifting my chin so my eyes meet with her. "Your my Clarke ain't you?" She says softly her eye scanning mine I can see just how much she wants it to be me how much she's misses her daughter.

"I..." I can't get my words out I can't even lie, I've missed my mother I never even got to say goodbye. I just drop my head and then look back up nodding in response unable to get my words out.

"My Clarke..." she says pulling me into a bone crushing hug tear now streaming down her face, I hear and feel the sobs of my mother racking through her body.

"I'm sorry" I say pulling away.

"I just, I thought I was gunna lose you all over again" I say taking a step back. "You may have birthed me and I would save you if I had the chance, but you're no longer my mother" I say coldly wiping my tears away and pulling myself together. "I was raised here. I am the queen of Azgada" I breath out shutting any and all emotions out, "your daughter died that day, I am no longer her" I finish and I can see the pain and hurt in Abby's eyes as a tear rolls down her reddened checks.

"Move out!" I order coldly to my warrior and with that we all clear out the mountain.

"The mountain has fallen!" I roar across the field of men, bloodied and broken from battle, our own corpses being dragged out the mountains to be burned. So there spirit can be freed. "The war is won!" I speak load and far and all men, women, boy and girl who have fought roar in response a chant of mine and the Heda's name Lexa stands beside me.

"Our men are free and are children safe!" She adds catching the crowds attention "now we feast and celebrate our Victory as one!" She says and the roar from the crowd are deafening in response. Sky men and ground men all celebrating together at the fall of the great mountain.
