A/N: Hello my lovely readers! Thank you everyone for all the lovely reviews, follows, and favorites. Make me want to write and is exactly what I need to help me get out of my funk! So again, thank you :) Now as I've said before, there is NO ALIE so the reason that there is black blood in the series verses my reason are DIFFERENT just be patient, the reason will come to light soon! This chapter will give you an answer but then more questions. I apologize its not my longest chapter and is a bit boring in my opinion but its need for the flow. I'm slowly writing out my next chapter as I post this. So I'm hoping to have another chapter to you soon! I also apologize for any mistakes that slipped by me, I'm human after all ;)
Warning: Also, this is a very mature story rated MA+, seeing as that isn't an option on this site, I'm warning you now. If you don't like it, aren't old enough or what ever. Then don't read it and don't complain ruining it for everyone else! Girl on girl action coming in future chapters!
Disclaimer: I own NOTHING!
Enjoy!

I quickly made my way up onto the platform where Raven waited for me. I nodded at her as she handed me a microphone and took the books from me and set them up under the machine that would project them into a hologram for the crowd to see. I took one last shaky breath in before I tapped the mic twice to gain everyone's attention.
Surprisingly everyone immediately went quiet and turned their attention to me. I cleared my throat once before I began to speak. "Hello everyone, thank you for gathering for me. I will be explaining why in a moment, but for starters I should probably introduce myself for those of you who don't recognize or know who I am." I paused for a moment and took a steady breath. "Hello, my name is Clarke Griffin, daughter of Jacob and Abigail Griffin." I paused once more. "Now that introductions are out of the way, moving onto why you've all been gathered here." I paused and looked to Raven who flicked a switch and projected the image of the laws of The Ark. "Now if you all look at the screen, you will see the laws of The Ark. Take notice to the one that says who is to lead." I paused once again and let them read it before I continued. "It is stated as law that only those that have black blood are to lead as they are given superior knowledge once they ascend on their 18th birthdays and are also gifted in another way that does not make its self-known until the hosts 18th birthday." I took a deep breath in. "It also stats no black blood host should be leader until their 18th birthday unless there is no older host." I let them soak in that information while I looked back to Raven to put the next book up.
"Now this is another book, a book of all of those that were floated for either having black blood or a mother if they gave birth to more than three children with black blood." I paused and took a deep breath. "At some point in our history someone over threw this law and made it so not a single soul with black blood could take the lead of our people." I paused and reached into my pants and pulled out a dagger and walked over to Raven. I handed her the mic with it still facing me. Raven caught on and held it out for me and removed the book and put my hand under the stream to show my hands on the screen. "That is until now." I held the blade in my left hand and used the tip of the dagger to cut open my right palm, showing everyone my black blood. There was gasps in the crowed.
I quick wiped the blood off the blade and slid it back into my pants. I took the mic back from Raven and refaced the crowed. "I Clarke Griffin here by takeover leading everyone from the Ark by right of birth. Do NOT call me Chancellor, I shall only be address as Wanheda, which means Commander of Death. We will be merging with the grounders; they are not our enemies. WE invaded THEIR territory when the 100s drop ship crash landed on the ground." I gave the crowed a few moments to process that bit of information. "We will begin building homes on the land here for the grounders and anyone that would like one from the Ark. Also no one and I mean NO ONE is to carry a gun on or off the guard until you've learned and mastered the ability to use a sword. Bullets will not last forever." I waited to see if anyone would speak out. When no one did I continued. "Starting tomorrow I will be posting and assigning tasks to all to help build our new town. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please feel free to approach me. Thank you, that is all."
I switched off the mic and handed it to Raven. "Thanks Raven." Raven took the mic and nodded at me with a smile. "I'm going to go outside the gates and set up at a fire to work, can you get me three bottles of Monty's moonshine and have it delivered to me please." Raven smirked at me. "Sure thing Griff." I glared at her as she walked away. I shook my head and gathered the books and turned around. I had a couple people approach me asking for a closer look at my blood. I allowed it. After an hour of questions, I was finally able to get away from everyone and make my way outside of the gates and into the heart of the grounders tents where I knew where Lexa's tent was.
It took me no time to reach her tent, I was eternally grateful that there was a fire outside it already roaring. I sat down immediately and began to relax my tense and sore muscles. I was only sitting for two minutes when Octavia came and delivered my moonshine and four glasses. I raised my eyebrow at the glasses but shrugged it off. "Thanks O." Octavia nodded and bowed her head to me. "Sha Wanheda." I smiled at her and watch her leave. I turned my attention back to the moonshine. I made quick work of uncorking the closest bottle and pour myself a glass filled right to the top. I smelled the liquid and smiled. "Hello old friend." I whispered in the glass before I tipped it all back in one go.
