Wanheda Clark

Chapter Three

Lexa POV Near Arkedia

As we get near Arkedia my hands get very sweaty and my heart starts to beat fast. I am worried that Clark will never forgive me for what I did to her. I am worried that my action may lead us to war, and even though I know that I will win in the end thanks to our superior numbers the Skykrew poses weapons that would surly kill thousands of my people before the war would end. I don't know if I could handle that much loss or having to kill Clark by my blade. After ten minutes of thinking of the terrible thoughts, I look up and see Arkedia in the distance. My anxiety starts pumping and I feel like I am going to get sick and pass out. But I shake away the feeling and make myself look look strong and fearless, even though I am terrified on the in side.

We were now in plain sight and in just about maybe five minutes we start herring orders being given to us.

FREEZE don't move, one of the guards yelled.

Me and my men stop.

State your business grounder. Said the guard on the left side of the wall.

I am here to see Clark, I responded.

The Wanheda does not have any visitor schedule today so come back in three days.

I am not going to wait three days to see Clark. Please tell her that Commander Lexa is here to see her, I tell him but as soon as I finished I regretted it, because as soon as they heard the word Commander every guard had their weapons pointed at me. And I could see  is the hatred in their eyes.

Drop your weapons and get on your knees with your hands on top of your head. Instructed the guard who I now assume is in command.

I went ahead and drop my sword but I will not get on my knees. My men do the same. I look up at the guard and can tell that he is not satisfied.

If you want to see our leader you will do as you're told he say in a very annoying tone.

I surrender my weapon, I will have my men wait for me to return by the tree line, but I will not get I my knees. I bow to no one. I say to him in a very dark authoritative tone.

Alright fine but make one wrong move and I will have you shot. Open the Gate he yelled.

I understand I reply as the gates open and I walk in. As soon as I get through the gate I am amazed by how far the Skykrew has come. Their camp looks to have double in size and their our more people here than before. As I admire their progress, I didn't notice the men that have snuck up behind me until I feel a very sharp pain and fell to the ground. I look up and see Bellamy with one of those shocking sticks. He hit me again and then everything went dark.

Wanheda Clark POV.

I am sitting in my, well throne room I guess you would call it, because it is a large room with a very fancy chair in which I sit at and discuss important issue involving the camp with my advisors. I am just sitting here listening to what my advisors are saying about the risk with setting up a new settlement, when Bellamy suddenly walks in and by the look on his face I new I was not going to like it. I turn back to my advisors and said "we will discuss this later". They bowed and replied "yes Wanheda," and left. I look back Bellamy standing there.

What is it Bellamy? I said in a aggravated tone.

I don't know how to say this so I am just going to say it, Lexa is here. He said very nervously.

I froze after he said her name. I can feel the anger and happiness at the same time. But was I really ready to face her? The question lingered in my mind for several minutes, before I decided that I needed to do this. Were is she? I ask him.

I didn't know what to do so I stunned her and put her in a cell, to await your orders.

You stunned her with out my permission and why was I not notified when she first got here?!! I asked in a ver angry and frustrated tone.

I am sorry Clar, Wanheda you were busy and I didn't want to distract you, I only thought that...

I cut him off, just don't let it happen again or I won't be so forgiving next time. Now bring her to me and then leave us. I do not need a bodyguard.

Yes Wanheda, right away he said before he ran off to complete my orders.

I feel bad for getting that angry at him but I can't let him keep important information from me. If I let that go then others will follow. A few minutes later Bellamy walks back in with Lexa and then leave, it's just me and her now.

Lexa POV

I am face to face with Clark, we are just standing here looking at each other. Then her surprised face turn to angry, and with out waning she slapped me right across the face, hard.

Why did you leave me?, she cried. Why did you walk away from me and taken that deal?, she asked.

I had to do what was best for my people, I replied.

F**k what's best, it didn't make it right, she screamed. I was about to say more but she cut me off. But understand why you did it, she says more relaxed. I can't say that I wouldn't have taken the same deal. It was the hardest choice that I have ever made, I tell her. I know that's why I forgive you, she says looking me straight in the eye. I don't like it when people look me in the eye but I didn't mind when Clark did it. What does this mean I ask her.

It means as a leader I understand and forgive you for what you did at mount weather, but not as a friend. I sill care about you Lexa, but I will need time to repair our broken relationship. What you did really hurt me, she finished with tears falling down her face. I took my left hand and wipe the tears off her face and said "take all the time you need, I am not going anywhere, and I really am sorry for what I did and I hope you will never have to make a decision like that ever." We stand there holding each other for several minutes, before we here someone coming in. We break apart very quickly to see Octave standing there at attention like a true worrier.

What is it Octave?, Clark said to her.

Wanheda we have a problem, the man Pike that you gave a warning to, two months ago. Yes what about him?, replied Clark. Well Wanheda we just caught him trying to get several guards to turn against you and join him in a attempt to take over. That some of a bitch replied Clark. What are your orders Wanheda?, Octave asked standing at attention. Arrest him, I will deal with him later, replied Clark in a very sinister tone. The way she said deal with him sent shivers down my spine. She has changed a lot. She was no longer the scared little girl that was full of compassion and kind hearted. But a tough leader who knows that sacrifice must some times be made for the good of our people. I wander how else she has changed.
