Chapter 13
"Why not , with all this peace time I got kinda bored of not feeling like I'm gonna die constantly." Bellamy shrugged.
"Great ! You go pick up Ilian over there and hand me a pistol so that if anything bad happens I'm not completely fucked." Clarke instructed.
"Here" Bellamy handed Clarke a pistol. "So what are we doing?"
"Breaking into the wartime assembly!" Clarke nodded confident.
"You know what ? You definitely didn't undersell it." Bellamy joked.
"Glad you are still on board! Your job is to carry him there." Clarke ordered .
"I'm so glad to be such a crucial part of your plan." Bellamy noted sarcastically.
"Oh come on Bel! This will be fun!" Clarke retorted.
"Sure princess." Bellamy teased.
"You know, never been more accurate!" Clarke smiled.
"Oh , I know." Bellamy agreed as they headed over to Ilian and Raven. "You ok with me picking you up?" Bellamy asked.
"He is gonna help us get you to your alpha." Clarke comforted.
"Mhmm" ilian agreed hesitantly. "Thanks Clarke."
"No problem!" Clarke cheered. "Ready to go Raven?"
"Yup!" Raven popped up.
"Good let's go!" Clarke picked up her mad and lead the team …. Only to be stopped by the other champions about five steps later.
"We can't let you leave, the commander expressly ordered us to protect you and Raven!" The champions guarding the door said In unison.
"Your not gonna stop me." Clarke argued.
"Oh and why's that?" One of the champions taunted.
"Because if any of you touch me Lexa will have your head in an instant." Clarke explained.
"She makes a good point." Another champion agreed backing out of the way.
"We don't have to let the rest of you through! Our job is to protect all of the omegas, and we can't just let you run off into danger during a wartime assembly!" The first champion argued.
"Yeah but you aren't gonna stop them either cause Octavia is standing just outside, and she will kill you if you interfere with us." Clarke answered more than happy with herself.
"I wish you safe passage!" The only champion still in their way stepped aside.
"Thanks! Have a nice day." Clarke smiled smugly as the group continued on … about another three steps before they stopped again.
"Alpha!" Raven tackle hugged her alpha.
"Raven! Bel? What the hell is going on?" Octavia asked stabilizing herself and hugging her omega.
"We are breaking into the wartime assembly." Clarke answered.
"We are going to see my alpha?" Ilian added.
"You four realize how terrible moronic this plan is right?" Octavia asked.
"So you are coming with right O?" Bellamy grinned knowing his sister couldn't say no.
"Well I just have to know how this is gonna end." Octavia shrugged.
"So can we try to get more than five steps without an interruption this time?" Clarke asked irritated.
"We can try." Bellamy teased.
This time they got a good thirty or forty paces before being stopped again by another azgeda assassin. "Step away from the commander's omega , and the rest of you are free to go! She is the only one who needs to die!" she warned.
"Oh fuck you!" Clarke groaned pulling out the pistol Bellamy gave her and putting even two bullets in between the assassin's eyes. "No more interruptions!" Clarke yelled before marching on.
"Cold Clarke , I love it!" Octavia smiled.
"See your already glad you tagged along!" Bellamy laughed.
This time they actually got to their goal uninterrupted, and the second that they approached the coalition meeting hall Ilian could tell that whatever was wrong was close. "You ready Ilian?" Clarke asked.
"Yeah." Ilian nodded.
"Good!" Clarke pushed open the doors to the meeting hall to reveal Lexa applying the finishing blow , decapitating one of her dissidents.
"Clarke! What the hell are you doing!" Lexa turned to the party Clarke had gathered to interrupt the assembly.
"Ilian needed to see his alpha!" Clarke shrugged.
"Fine , it is probably for the best anyway." Lexa dismissed. "Trishana Kru Leader, you are next , do you still wish to challenge me?" Lexa yelled breathing heavily from her fight that had ended swiftly and had been rather one sided.
"Alpha! Don't do it!" Ilian shook himself out of Bellamy's grasp and ran to his alpha.
"I'm sorry Ilian , but I must do this."
"You need not die today! I take no pride in stealing you from your omega!" Lexa offered.
"Please she is allowing you to get out of this madness! Don't fight her my alpha! Please I need you!" Ilian curled up against his alpha desperate to change his mind.
"No I'm sorry my Hodnes but I must." The trushna kru leader replied with a kiss to Ilian's forehead.
"If you do this … if you do this I am no longer yours!" Ilian screamed for the whole coalition to hear.
"No! Don't say that hodnes!"
"I am no longer your hodnes if you go through with this. I won't lose you like this I just won't!" Ilian argued.
"Then you have made your decision." Ilian's alpha replied with tears in his eyes as he marched on towards the center of the coalition meeting hall where Lexa stood still spattered in blood.
"I Ilian kom trishana Kru, revoke you as my alpha. I am no longer yours , and I am no longer your slave!" Ilian yelled removing his chains and collar, throwing them down on the ground.
"I will always love you Ilian." The alpha spoke softly with tears streaming down his face as he turned to Lexa. "Lexa Kom tri kru, I doubt your fitness to rule the coalition as our heda and I challenge you to a battle to the death!"
"You don't have to do this." Lexa offered one last scrap of kindness to the man she knew she would kill.
"Yes… yes I do."
"Fine , let your fate be sealed then." Lexa dismissed readying her sword.
"So it may be." Ilian's alpha nodded as Ilian ran out of the room, incapable of witnessing the fight that would almost certainly end the man he was still bonded with.
"Ilian!" Raven ran after him.
"Raven!" Octavia followed them both.
"Well this went great Clarke!" Bellamy teased.
"Lexa please be safe!" Clarke whispered under her breath worriedly.
"Draw your sword!" Lexa ordered the alpha who seemed hesitant to begin the fight he had insisted do heavily on.
"Yes my Heda." He obeyed with a heavy heart.
"Any last words?" Lexa offered.
"I've already said everything I needed to."
"Fine , begin when you are ready." Lexa ordered.
The alpha didn't wait more than a moment to sprint straight for Lexa, preparing his spear for his attack.
Lexa easily deflected his spear , driving it into the ground and wiping her blade, placing a deep wound in the back of his thigh.
Ilian shuttered on the ground where he had collapsed as Raven and Octavia attempted to comfort him. "My alpha." Ilian whimpered as he began to cry, knowing that his alpha was close to his end.
"I can't watch this." Clarke cried , overwhelmed with thoughts of how much pain Ilian must be in , knowing that his alpha was to lose this battle. Clarke ran to catch up with the three that had ran off early.
"Fuck Clarke wait up! I'm supposed to be keeping you safe!" Bellamy groaned running after her.
"I'm sorry it came to this." Lexa mourned the death of the clan leader before he had even been dealt a finishing blow.
"I am too my Heda." He sighed swinging his spear back around in a last ditch attempt.
Lexa once again deflected his spear towards the ground before stepping on the wooden staff the point was affixed to and snapping the sharp blade off so that her opponent was left with little more than a poorly crafted bo staff.
The man had a true desperation to finish Lexa , and it was his undoing as he attempted to smash the wooden pole against the side of Lexa's face hopelessly.
Lexa ducked out of the path of the staff as she raised her sword and administered a fatal blow , running the alpha clean through. " Yu gonplei ste odon." Lexa whispered as she pulled her blade out of the alpha.
"Tell Ilian I did it all for him, and that I loved him." The alpha whispered into Lexa's ear.
"I will." Lexa promised.
"Can you bring me his collar?"
"Of course." Lexa replied rushing to grab the collar and chains that the omega had thrown off in an act of desperation to save his lover. "Here, both his chains and collar." Lexa whispered to the dying man.
"Thank you… I'm sorry I had to do this." He whimpered softly as he lifted the collar to his nose.
"Wait! Did someone put you up to this?!" Lexa yelled realizing why he had been so reluctant the whole time.
With his dying breath he sniffed as deep as he could at the collar , thoroughly sented by his omega. "Ilian."
"Who forced you to do this!" Lexa yelled shaking his lifeless body desperately. It didn't take long for Lexa to realize he wouldn't wake. "Does anyone else wish to challenge me! I take no pride in killing those which were once my loyal subordinates!" Lexa roze from the body that laid at her feet as she spun, searching the faces of everyone in the room for even the slightest hint of defiance.
When no one replied Lexa commanded the coalition. " Then this assembly is over!" Lexa ran off to see her omega who she could tell was distraught through the bond, now doubt due to seeing a fellow omega in the pain of just having lost hIs alpha.
"Clarke!" Lexa cried relieved to see her omega safe with Octavia and Bellamy watching guard of Raven and Clarke who both we're doing whatever they could in an effort to calm the omega curled up in a ball, gasping for air that he just seemed incapable of utilizing as his lips turned slightly blue.
"Lexa." Clarke couldn't help but turn around to see her alpha and hug her. "We need to help him!" Clarke pleaded.
"Bellamy! Reaper stick!" Lexa ordered.
"Yes my heda." Bellamy nodded handing her a reaper stick.
"Ilian he left me a message for you." Lexa whispered as she readied the reaper stick.
Ilian sobbed harder at the thought that he wasn't able to be there for his alpha in his dying moments.
"He told me to tell you that he did it all for you , and that he loved you… your name was what he whispered with his dying breath." Lexa relayed as she stuck him with the reaper stick. "Sleep for now little one. Sleep."
