Clexa Reincarnated
CHAPTER 7 03/07/2016
I hope to make this chapter a little longer, but I am not making any promises. It has to fit, it has to be right and I just don't see it coming together in my head, yet! Please comment,
critique, anything your little heart desires! Thank you for reading.
"What part of 'I don't trust you', Titus, did you not understand? You don't get to just stand there and tell me you're taking me on a journey and expect me to go with you? Are you serious?"
"Clarke, Titus is only trying to help, just as you try and help all those in need. I hear fixing problems is your specialty."
"Where are you hearing these things, Aden?"
"I'm sorry, I… heard this. You try and fix what is broken. But you can't always do that."
Clarke looked to the floor. "No. no I can't, but everything is worth trying."
"Then why don't you try trusting me and come on this journey?"
"Because Titus. I already told you. I can't trust you. You know why. This isn't something I wanted to do just because. You won't even tell me where this journey is leading to. Where are we going? What are we doing? Why do you need me?"
"You are hesitant in what needs to occur after this. I am simply trying to help, as you would for your people."
"I am not 'your people', Titus. I will not travel with you."
"Will you travel with me, Clarke?"
"No, Aden. We need you here. You mustn't offer yourself. She won't like it."
"Will you two quit it?! I don't know what's going on here, but I am not going anywhere with either one of you! Will you two just leave, please?" and Clarke put her head in her hands, sat down and started rubbing her head.
"Let me help you" and Titus went to touch her head and Clarke smacked his arm away.
"Do NOT TOUCH me. I don't need your kind of help. This is getting to be too much. What the hell is going on? Why am I here, Titus? Why can't you give me any answers? You kill Lexa and then bring me into your room and now all of a sudden you want me to go on this journey, but won't tell me anything about it? This doesn't make any sense."
"We wouldn't have to go on this journey if you would listen, Wanheda. You are still a necessary part of this. We still need your help. You are still the 13th clan."
"So I keep hearing. But what you're not telling me IS the plan! You're not telling me how I am necessary and why you need my help!? Until then, I am not going anywhere with you! Now please go away." Titus and Aden both nod at Clarke and walk out the door. She hears them speaking in Grounder, but she hears certain words. She…won't…like….failure….get her to….her fight is not over….
I need to get out of here. But how? I'm pretty sure Titus doesn't have anyone watching me. He doesn't want to risk the Grounders getting to me and the only other person that knows I'm here is Aden. Damn it.
It was late when Titus returned. He doesn't look happy. Good. Serves him right. I have a feeling this has something to do with the new Commander, the 13th clan, and me. I wonder how long I've been here. Surely the new Commander was chosen already.
"Are you going to tell me why I am here, yet, or are more circles in our future?"
Clarke, please. Just walk with me to Lexa's chamb…" Clarke grabbed him by the robe and punched him in the face. Titus fell to the ground, bleeding from the mouth.
"WHAT THE HELL DID I SAY? YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME! Next time, Titus, I will follow through." He got up and walked out. Ok, I really need to get out of here.
Clarke looked around and found one of Titus' robes. I could try and leave with this on. Who am I kidding? I wouldn't get 5 feet from the door. I'm too small to be a Grounder. I suppose I'll just have to go with him. Then maybe I can try and leave.
When Titus returned, Clarke told him she had changed her mind.
"I decided it would be best if I joined you on this journey of yours. My only condition is that I get my gun back."
"I cannot do that."
"Why do you constantly have to fight me on everything? How can you expect me to trust you when you don't trust me? If I were going to kill you, I would have done it already. I will go with you, willingly, as long as I have my gun."
"I am concerned as to why you changed your mind?"
"Don't be. I decided we weren't going to get anywhere by me staying in here and doing nothing. You obviously have answers that I want and I am hoping that this journey of yours will give them to me."
"Fine then. We leave at dawn."
Thank you for those that are still with me. I have been struggling with the story line, so I took a break and started "writing" a novel. I love it so far. To be honest, I think I am much better at romance and love stories than sci~fi and trying to figure out where to go with someone else's project. But I digress…. I should have Chapter 8 up with this one, hopefully, by the end of the night. SOMEDAY will come….
