Ch 3

The man gripped tightly onto the strong rope as he dragged Clarke through the wilderness, Clarke winced as the rope rubbed against her hands she could feel the cut on her palm. She has a gag on her mouth so she couldn't scream for help, who the heck is this guy why is he taking her? As she looked up at the sky, her radiant sun distorted her vision. She was thinking if she faint then he would have to stop and that be her only chance, she skipped a few rocky stones as she chose the right spot and fell down. The man noticed the rope isn't that heavy anymore as he looked behind the Wanheda fallen on top of the rocks. He advanced towards her as he kicked her body a little bit but there was no movement.

He murmured: "Seems like the Wanheda is human after all."

He grabbed his flask and went to the stream to gather some water for her as he felt a rope around his neck choking his throat, he grabbed her as he flip her over and pushed her head down the stream. Once he sees the color red of her hair goes away, he pulls her back up the color blond was evident shining in the sunlight. Just like how the people described it the Wanheda has the sun kissed hair and ocean blue eyes. He has his prize after all. He put back the gag on her mouth as he grabbed her rope and lead her walking again, once he got closer to the place he was required to bring her to. Three man came at them, he instantly recognize them. Azgeda, once his people but now they are hunting him too. Clarke watched the exchanged but understanding none of it but she recognize all of them are the Ice Nation, she was determined to get out of here she just needed a distraction.

The man killed all three of them with ease as he went to gather Wanheda, as he picked her up she sliced him with the dagger across his stomach. He groaned as he lift her up placing a knife near her throat.

"If you wanted to kill me, you would have already!" yells Clarke as the man's eyes focused on her his voice equally threatening as he responded: "There is still time." They continuing walking towards the forest as Clarke noticed his wound is effecting him, he was weak now was the choice to escape but could she make it? Suddenly, a distance roar echoed through the forest. They stopped their movements as the man listened but Clarke knew what was coming she encountered it before and this was the perfect distraction.

Pauna.

As they were about to run the large beastly gorilla starting sprinting towards them, Clarke grabbed her dagger from the ground to cut the rope as she run and run into the wilderness.

"YOU BETRAYED ME!" Clarke slapped her across the face, her face stung but not as much as her heart. Her heart was slowly chipped away, the women she love her eyes was red with tears, Lexa's hands slowly reaching to her face to feel her face one more time. Her heart was beyond broke, she lost everything, everything dear to her. She doesn't need the Ice Queen to take it away she took it away herself by making that choice. Maybe love really is weakness?

As Clarke disappeared Costia appeared, her throat has a red bloody knife wound stretching through her head along with her arms and legs. Lexa's fell onto the floor as Costia walked closer to her, her eyes filled with rage not the warm comforting eyes. "YOU LET ME DIE! I LOVED YOU!" Lexa began to sob as she felt her mind is losing control, she want the images to disappear but they won't stop. It was like the never ending hell she was receiving, this was the test of the Commander but will she pass it?

Gustus appeared on tree with Lexa's sword still stuck in his chest, he weakly said, "All I ever wanted was to protect you why wouldn't you believe me?" Lexa didn't look up she knew all her demons, she keep on replying I'm sorry as she continued to cry.

Lastly her parents appeared, Lexa heard screams as she looked up. She instantly regretted it as this was the image she was trying to remove throughout the years but now its branded into her mind again. Her village was massacred, her people screaming and being slashed by swords. Her parents was being killed in front of her, their last breath saying only one word Heda.

Lexa shot up through her bed, this time there was no sweat. Her calm warming green eyes slowly turned into stormy eyes as she walked out her tent calling Indra to take her down to the prisoner. She was done being merciful, love is weakness and the Triku needed a strong commander and that was what she is going to be. The Ice Nation and the others wants a war she is ready for them.
