Ch.1
~No one's POV~
When Lexa's mother first saw her bleed, she turned sheet white. She told her husband and together they agreed to never tell anyone what she was, but the world was not on their side. When Lexa was six months old, her mother had left her to crawl around so that she could continue preparing dinner for their guests. Ten minutes later, Lexa began to wail. She had crawled over a pointed rock and cut her knee. Before Lexa's mom could stop her guests, they ran out and alerted the nearest guard. That guard immediately left for the capital.
"We must leave immediately Jura. They will send warriors to take our child." Lexa's father pleaded with his wife.
"They will always find us love. They will never stop until she is found. I will fight until I no longer can." Jura replied, sitting on the furs in their home and holding Lexa close.
"I will not leave without you. Our daughter could be commander one day and maybe then we will be free to be with her." he said, sitting next to his wife and taking her free hand in his.
"I wish that were true. My younger brother was a night-blood and my parents were stupid to try and hide him as well. Now they are all dead." she says, a sad smile on her face.
Jura knew her fate now that Lexa had been discovered and she had been prepared for this day since they agreed to hide her away. Her daughter would grow up strong and may one day indeed become the new heda, but she would never live to see her ascension day.
"We must prepare for what is to come love." Lexa's father says, slowly bringing Jura to her feet.
She nods before walking into Lexa's room. She prepares a sack and lays Lexa in her crib made from sticks, leaves and furs before heading back out into the equivalent of a living room. It would be a few hours before the warriors appeared to take her child and she was going to die fighting them off.
"I will clean before they arrive. You may do as you please." Jura says coldly to her husband.
"Of course." he nods, understanding why she was acting that way. They would both be dead before dawn and their child would become an orphan.
He retreated to the back room to sharpen his blade. If he was going to die, he would die protecting the only people he's ever loved.
"Are you going to sharpen one for me as well?" Jura asks, appearing in the doorway.
"Yes, of course." he nods towards her prized sword.
"Make sure it is sharp. I want to take as many as possible. They will know my pain. I am not loosing my life, I am loosing my daughter." she says, her eyes stone with no emotion.
"I as well. We will not be forgotten." he stands, hearing the footsteps approaching.
"Is it true? Please tell me it isn't true Jura." an elderly woman enters the room frantically.
"Calm down Shurai. It is true." Jura says, calming the woman who birthed her daughter.
"You will not fight them Jura. You mustn't." Shurai says, glancing back and forth between her sister's child and the man she wed.
Shurai was there when her sister and brother-in-law were slaughtered for hiding Jason, Jura's younger brother, from the capitol. She refused to let her niece die for the same reason.
"I am not going to hand over the only thing in this world I did right. I can't Shurai." Jura says, shaking her head at her.
"I brought her into this world Jura and I brought you into it as well. I will not watch you perish." Shurai says, glaring at Jura.
"I will fight and I will die. Blood must have blood. I will kill and then I will die." Jura says, moving away from the elder.
"Then I will die beside you." Shurai says, taking out a well hidden sword.
Lexa's father had gone back to sharpening the blades when he saw her pull out the sword.
"You will do no good in a fight old one." he says, standing up and moving to grab the sword.
"You know nothing. Men and their assumptions. I was a warrior well before I was a healer and a good one." Shurai scoffs, whacking him with the flat part of the sword.
The sounds of horse hooves hitting dirt outside silenced them.
"We must fight. They must know that she comes from a strong bloodline." Lexa's father says, tossing Jura her sword.
"They will witness it first hand." she says leaving the room, Shurai and her husband close behind.
It is three hours later that Jura succumbs to her wounds. Her husband and Shurai died early on in the fight, but she refused to give up. She took the lives of ten men before she died right in front of Lexa's crib.
"Her mother was strong. Let's hope she inherited that strength." a male warrior grumbles, lifting up the screaming Lexa.
"How do you make it stop screaming." another male warrior says, covering his ears from the shrill noise.
"Maybe if you held her like a baby instead of an animal she would be quiet." a female warrior says, moving forward to take Lexa.
"Her mother called her Lexa. A strong name for a strong commander." the first warrior says, giving Lexa to the female warrior to hold.
Lexa begins to quiet down and lets out tiny whimpers as she stares up at the woman as she is bounced into silence.
"Indra, you are great with children." a warrior says, popping his head into the now bloodied hut.
"Shut up. We leave for Polis, now." Indra says, turning and leaving the hut with Lexa in her arms.
Indra could see the fire in Lexa's eyes. She would indeed be the next commander, but Indra hoped it would be a long time from now.
….Lexa origin story anyone? This has been an idea of mine ever since Lexa was killed off of The 100 and I hope you all like it. The chapters may or may not be short, but there are at least three different books (or something of that sort) that I have already planned out. Please let me know what you think and I promise I will answer any questions you throw at me. Just putting this out there since a few might ask early on...I know that Lexa's parents names are unknown and that I only gave her mom, auntie name, but I never gave her father or her mom's brother a name. It is because the names Jura and Shurai immediately came to my head as I was writing the chapter and I feel it is because The 100 has a million and one strong and badass women in it, so why not add two more. It also shows where Lexa gets her strength and determination from. The women in The 100 go through so much shizz and come out stronger and I promise Lexa will not die in this story because I was hella pissed off when she did in the show. Thank you all in advance for reading this long authors note and I'll see you in the next chapter! BAIBAI!
