Chapter 80-Using Mount Weather
Jake's P.O.V
Jake pulls the knife out of Lucy's chest, and she coughs out blood. No!" Emma shouts as she grabs for her sword. Mance pulls out his knife and slits her throat open. She coughs on her blood as she falls. Emerson puts his knife around Logan's throat. "You want to die?"
"Fuck you," He says, and Emerson slits his throat. Lucy falls down the stairs and coughs up blood as Emma crawls to her and grabs her hand as she dies. Jake walks down to Lucy and smiles.
"Sorry, sweetheart, but you're a problem," Jake says. He stabs Lucy in the heart. She lets out one more breath before she dies, with her and Emma holding hands. Jake stands up and looks at the shocked faces. "She would have led Azgeda to its death. You can fight for a dead woman or follow your king to victory. You can die for her like these two fools," Jake says. Nobody moves, and Jake smiles. "Good, pack these bodies up. I have a gift for the Commander and Wanheda," Jake says with a smile as he walks up the stairs and sits on the throne. "It feels good to be king," He says with a sinister grin.
Clarke's P.O.V
Two days later
Clarke and Lexa stood in the throne room when Murphy came in. "You guys gotta see this," He says. They look at him and follow him to the elevator. They get to the bottom of the tower and see a wagon. Raven pulls the tarp off.
"Oh my god," Clarke says as she stares at the bodies. "Lucy?"
"This is Emma and Logan. They were her top generals," Lexa says as she looks at the body. Murphy holds out a letter to her. Lexa grabs it. "Lexa, Clarke, this is my gift, your enemies. She was weak, and so were the generals, so I killed them with the help of Emerson and Mance. I am Jake of the Bones clan, and I will give you peace on one condition, Anya Kom Trikru answers for her crimes against my clan and my father. If you refuse this offer, there will be no mercy," Lexa reads. She looks at Anya. "Don't even say it. We're not giving you up."
Anya nods. "So he used the wedding to kill them," Clarke says. "Looks like he stabbed Lucy in the chest and heart and then slit the throats of the other two."
"Should we call Bellamy and Ontari back?" Murphy asks.
"Yes, Mance can't be trusted, Jasper. Go radio them," Lexa orders Jasper, who nods as he leaves.
"So what now? We don't know what this guy will do next," Clarke says.
"Guys," Raven says as he pulls something out of Lucy's pocket. She hands it to Clarke.
"Meet me in Arkadia after you get the bodies. Clarke Griffin, Lexa Kom Trikru, Marcus Kane, and two guards," Clarke reads.
"What do you think?" Raven asks.
"Arkadia is in our territory. If they try anything, they won't get out. Murphy and Raven will come. Anya have archers around just in case," Lexa tells them.
They nod. "And the bodies?" Luna asks.
"Burn them," Clarke says as they walk towards their horses.
Bellamy's P.O.V
Bellamy and Ontari were in a cave not far from the castle when his radio went off. "Bellamy, come in," Jasper says.
"We're here. We are about to go to the castle," Bellamy says.
"Don't," Jasper says. "Lucy's dead, so are her generals. She was killed at the wedding by the leader of the Bones clan. Mance and Emerson helped. We can't trust him, come back, and we'll regroup," Jasper says. "This is an order from Lexa and Clarke."
"Okay, we'll be back in a few days," Bellamy says before he turns his radio off. "Let's get going." Ontari nods as they leave the cave.
Jake's P.O.V
Jake, Emerson, Mance, and Philip stood in the throne room. "Where's Pike?" Philip asks.
"I don't know, and I don't care. Lucy was stupid to have them join. We're getting rid of all Skaikru. Our world was better without them," Jake says. "But they don't know that, so for now. They can stay where they are. Are we ready to take out Floukru?" Jake asks.
"Yes," Mance says.
"Good, we'll move today. We will take 150 men. That will be enough to take that place with ease," Jake says. "Let's turn the tides of war,"
Clarke's P.O.V
Clarke rode in front of the group. She looked at Lexa. "What is it? You have been looking at me since we left," Clarke says.
"I can't admire my girlfriend's beauty?" Lexa asks with a smile.
"You can, but that's not why you are looking at me," Clarke says.
"Okay, fine. Lucy's dead. How do you feel? Do you feel any better?" Lexa asks.
"I hoped I would. I hoped that seeing her dead body would make me feel better, but it didn't. She needed to die but killing her at a wedding, that is something only a coward and a monster would do. She was a warrior. She should have gotten a warrior's death," Clarke says. "I'll make sure Philip gets that."
Lexa nods as the archers start to move towards the trees, and they see Arkadia.
Kane's P.O.V
They slowly ride up to Arkadia and into the open gates. They stop their horses when Pike steps outside of Alpha station with two men. "I imagine there are men in the woods that will expect you back?" Pike asks.
"In 15 minutes," Lexa says. "If we don't come back, they'll come in," Lexa says as she climbs off her horse.
"We come in peace, Commander. Since you are here, I imagine you have seen Lucy's body," Pike says.
"Why are we here, Charles?" Kane asks him.
"I didn't trust Lucy, but I knew she wouldn't turn on us. She had honor. This man does not. He will do whatever it takes to win. We won't live through it. My people won't. And as much I hate your kind, I won't let my people die for my pride," Pike says.
"You want to join us?" Clarke asks Pike, who nods.
"And when this is over, you will allow us to make our own village, away from all of you, pick where we want to go," Pike tells them.
"Why would you trust you?" Murphy asks.
"Because you don't much of a choice, John, you need every man you can get. The Bones clan is large, and they are good," Pike says. "I am a man of my word, Jake is not, Emerson is not, and Mance is not."
"It would be wiser for me to kill you now," Lexa says.
"It would be, but you'll have to take chances if you want to win," Pike tells her. "What do you say, Commander?" Lexa looks at Clarke, who nods.
"If it sounds like you aren't in the inner circle now," Raven says.
"You're right, I'm not, but I do know where they will attack next. You won't be able to save it now, but you may be able to warn them," Pike says.
"What are you talking about?" Clarke asks.
"They will be attacking the Oil rig tomorrow morning," Pike says.
"He's right. We can't get there. It's a day right at least," Clarke says.
"What about a missle?" Murphy asks. "Mount weather has a few, right?"
"Yeah, but we'll need coordinates," Clarke explains.
"You have a map, right?" Kane asks Lexa, who nods.
"This will blow them up, destroy the oil rig and kill everybody, including Florkru," Raven says.
"The ones that are there will die anyway. At least this way, we can kill some of them too," Clarke says. "You have yourself a deal. Find out what you can and radio us," Clarke says as she throws a radio to Pike and climbs on her horse. They nod as they ride out of Arkadia.
Luna's P.O.V
Luna and Blair stood in the throne room as Clarke, Lexa, Kane, Murphy, and Raven entered the room. Kane and Murphy went to the map, and Luna and Blair looked at Clarke. "What is it?" Blair asks.
"They're attacking, Floukru tomorrow morning," Clarke tells them.
"Then we have to send men to help them," Blair says.
"They won't get there in time. You know that. We have another plan," Murphy says.
"What is your plan?" Luna asks.
"We're going to blow up the oil rig," Lexa says.
"What!?" Blair asks. "You'll kill them all."
"They'll die anyway, Blair. At least this way, we can kill some of Jake's men in the process," Clarke says.
"How would you know when to shoot the missile?" Kane asks.
"David has a radio," Luna says.
"Blair, I know this is hard, but we don't do this. They will die for nothing," Clarke says.
"Do it," Blair says as Kane hands her a piece of paper.
"Sent it there," Kane says. Clarke nods as she grabs the paper and a radio.
"I'm coming," Lexa says. Clarke nods as they leave the room.
Lexa's P.O.V
That night Clarke and Lexa rode up to the doors of Mount Weather. Clarke walks up to the door and opens it with the keycard. Clarke and Lexa pull the door open. They shut the door as they enter and walk down the halls. "Are you sure you can do this?" Lexa asks Clarke, who nods.
"It's about times this place is used for something good. We have to make sacrifices in war," Clarke says as they walk down the halls. "I'm okay, Lexa, I promise," Clarke says as they open the door into the control room. Clarke walks over to the computer and starts to type in the coordinates. She looks at Lexa and nods. "Now we wait," Clarke says as she sits down. Lexa sits down beside her, and they sit in silence.
"We should get a girl," Lexa says. Clarke looks at Lexa, confused. "When this is over, and we get a kid, Aden is pretty much our kid, so we should get a girl."
"You would bring this up right now while we're waiting to shoot a missile," Clarke says with a smile.
"We're waiting, aren't we?" Lexa says. "You still want kids, right?"
"I do," Clarke says. "Okay, we'll get a girl, maybe a baby that has become an orphan."
"Yeah," Lexa agrees. "We should probably get married first."
"Yeah, just don't stab me," Clarke says.
"I won't," Lexa says as they fall back into silence. They sat in silence for hours before they heard Clarke's radio go off.
"Do it," Luna says. "They are there," Clarke says as she lays her hand on the button. Lexa laid her hand on Clarke's, and they pressed the button.
