Love & War

A New Situation

Clarke POV

I watch Bellamy get out of the vent. If he leaves I know he will die. Octavia comes in behind me, crawling through. We get out and I look at Octavia.

"We have to do something?" I say.

"What can we do?" Octavia says. "They have guns." I think for a moment. 

"We have me." Octavia smiles, nodding. She helps me get dressed. I take some mud putting it near my eyes. Once on I take out my sword. I look at her before running to the front of Arkadia. I stop when I see the three men kneeling before Pike. 

"Bellamy Blake, Lincoln, Marcus Kane." I look over to see Marcus coming out, being pushed to the ground. "For the crimes of treason, kidnapping, and attempted murder, I hereby sentence you to death." I hear him say.

The guards behind them step up putting their gun behind their heads. Bellamy closes his eyes and that's when I run up behind Pike. I grab him putting my sword to Pike's neck. The guards look up, pointing their guns at me. Bellamy opens his eyes staring at me.

"Now you know why I am called Wanheda." I say.

He puts his hands up and I take his gun. I look at Octavia who comes over sword out. The others come over helping Kane, Lincoln and Bellamy up. They back up to where I am standing. Bellamy stands beside me taking the gun. He points it at the guards.

"If you wish to live then you will let us go." I say. Pike turns his head at me. "We will leave you alone, never returning."

"If you go then you are our enemy."

"So be it." I say pushing him towards his people. He looks at us as we back away into the forest. Once away from them we try to come up with a plan.

"What now?" Bellamy says walking beside me. 

"I do not know." I say staring up at him. He nods looking forward. 

We make camp in a cave to figure out what to do next. As we are sitting a horn blows. Lincoln and I look towards the entrance.

"What is that?" Someone asks.

"No." I say. I stand up moving to the entrance. "She can't be?" Bellamy garbs me turning me to face him.

"What is going on?"

"Lexa's dead." Lincoln says. He looks at him and then me.

"How do you know?" Marcus walks up to us.

"We carry many different horns. You are taught what they mean." I say. "That one is for when a Heda dies."

"If that is true then..." Kane starts to say but stops. We all know what he is thinking.

"I have to go." I say turning to walk out. Bellamy pulls on my arm. I don't look at him.

"Don't leave." I face him again. 

"If I don't then I am turning my back on my people. They need me right now. When there is no Heda, there is no order. Wars could start because of this." I move closer, bringing my hands to his face. "You have to let me go." He stares into my eyes before nodding.

"Are you going to Polis?" Kane asks.

"Yes. Roan and some of my people will be there. I must find out what is happening."

"Let me come with you." I nod. We soon leave walking through the woods. We do not speak. We finally get too Polis to find it in chaos. Ice nation warriors control the city. Warriors bow as I walk pass them before going back to what they where doing. 

 "What is this?" Kane asks.

"I do not know." I say as I walk towards the tower. Roan comes out, standing before me.

"Arrest him." He points to Kane. He looks at me as the warriors take him away. 

"What is this?" I ask.

"Lexa is dead and so are all the night bloods."

"What?" I stare at him shocked. "How?"

"Ontari went on a little rampage when she died. Claiming she should be Heda. The flamekeeprs where not happy." 

"I wonder why?" I say. I walk pass him into the tower. He follows me, riding up with me. Once at the top we find Ontari sitting on the throne, dead night bloods around her. I march up to her.

"What have you done?"

"Taken the throne." She says smiling down at me. I stare at her seeing the horror before me. What have I walked into?
