Three months after Mount Weather.
Wanheda Clark POV
As I sit in my room I think about what has happen in the last few months. All the death and suffering and all the hardships my people have face. I just hope that in the end it was all worth it. That my people will prosper and thrive in the future and hope that we can create a better world were my people don't have to fight to survive. As I sit here thinking Bellamy walks in.

Wanheda he address me.

Even though I hate that. Ever since the grounders started calling me that my people did as well. Finally I ask Lincoln what it meant and he told me that it meant Commander of Death, and since I have the blood of over 600 people on my hands he said the title suited me. Bellamy said that maybe the title will help inspire the guards so I kept it. I do anything for my people and if this title makes them happy then I will keep it.

Yes Bellamy I responded.

It is time for your weekly inspection Wanheda.

Thank you Bellamy I will be ready in 10 minutes you are dismiss. He saluted me and left. I always like these inspection because it gives me a chance to interact with my people in a more kind and gentle way, than to always be curl and mean. As I got ready I put on my armor which consists of black armor plats. I then put on my black cargo pants and combat boots along with my sword and handgun. Once I was in my Wanheda ati I open the door and walked out. Once I past Bellamy and my personal guards they then turned and followed me out. My personal guards were made up of people I trusted the most, one of them being Octavia. I trust Bellamy the most but he is more of my general than anything else. Our first stop will be the farming sector. When I took over I decided that the best way to organize our people's jobs was to divide it up into sectors. Meaning that areas like farming, science and engineering, education, mechanical, medical, and military and law enforcement all have their own area in the camp. Arkattda has changed a lot. For one thing it is no longer called Camp Jawa and it has tripled in size. Since we have been able to meet up with 9 other stations with 2 still uncounted for, my people's needs have double as well. So a lot of pressure has been put on the farmers to triple food production. As I walk towards the farming sector I am greeted by many of my people who are happy to see me out and about ever since I closed myself off since the events at Mount Weather. Even though it has been 3 months I still can't forget what happened there. It has gotten easier now since I realize that their was no other way and that they were not going to let my people go no matter what I offered. They were just going to kill them, but I killed them first. Anyway once I got to our farming fields I was greeted by Monty and Jasper. Jasper is still mad at me for killing people in the mountain that helped us but he is starting to understand that I had no choice, it was kill or be kill.

Jasper Monty I greeted them.

Wanheda they both replied.
What is the status of our food production? I ask them in a authoritative tone.

Well Wanheda replies Monty. We our still on schedule but we are not ready yet to found a new settlement just yet. We have to wait maybe two more harvest to have more seeds so that we can replant and then we will yield triple production on food.

You must try and do better than that I have over 4,000 people in this camp and it is all ready to crowded and supplies our running low. I need to set up a new settlement as soon as possible, I tell him.

I will see what I can do to speed things up Wanheda. He replies.

After my inspection in our agriculture I head to science and engineering next and meet up with Ravens boyfriend Wick Who is our second head of engineering.

Wick what is your progress on your projects that you started? I asked him.

Well Wanheda we are on schedule with the wind turbine that will soon provide power to the entire camp.

Excellent what about the others I ask him.

We are behind schedule on the artillery guns and we still need more rock to make concrete to finish our new wall. But I can tell you that our communication tower is up and we should have covered over the entire area.

That is great to here Wick, I will send someone to collect more rocks for you to make concrete, as for the artillery guns I will give you one more week to get back on schedule. If you are not back on schedule then I want you to terminate the project and scrap the parts for something else is that understood. But Wanheda he tried to argue. Is that understood I say again with a little bit of anger.

Yes Wanheda he replied.

I will check in, in one week see you then.

Thank you Wanheda bye Wanheda Wick replies.

I then head to education, medical mechanical and then to our soldiers who show me how much they have improved. Once we are done with the inspection I head back to my room and think about her "Lexa" and what she is doing. I don't blame her anymore for what she did, because now I understand why she did what she did. She saved her people and I can't say I wouldn't have taken the exact same deal because I would have. I would do anything for my people even if it meant sacrificing her people for mine. I would have done exactly as she did. I just wish I could tell her that I forgive her.
