Chapter four
"What do you mean Lexa told you to?" I say in a low threatening voice. My mind was trying to wrap around what was just said. "Lexa is dead!" I yell at Ontari who remains perfectly calm. "But death is not the end, wanheda." This does nothing to stop my rage from building, I jump to my feet and start to pace. Ontari also stands
"When I received the commander's spirit after my conclave, the past commanders became a part of me. Since then I have been able to talk to them and they talk to me, along with other things. Lexa is the one I experience the most because she is the most recent to die"
I continue to pace but my anger is boiling at what I'm being told "what other things Ontari!?"I yell at her. I don't know why I ask but a part of me wants to know.
"I dream of their memories in my sleep, and I also feel things…"
"Stop." I say it's starting to become too much for me to hear but Ontari continues anyway, sounding more desperate as she talks
"…. Today when I found out you were pregnant I felt shocked but also I felt proud, but these feeling weren't my own Wanheda.."
"Shut up."I try again, my anger hitting its peak.
Onarti just continues "…They were Lexa's!"
"I said STOP!" I yell.
A smack then resonates throughout camp. I come to realize what I just did as I lower my hand down. Ontari's face is turned and has an angry red mark from where my hand landed. Before I can apologize for hitting her I hear my mom's voice "what's going on out here?" I look over seeing her head pop out of her tent.
"Nothing" Ontari says. I turn to her , she is just looking at me, she then turns with no other words and goes into her tent. I just stand there with tears in my eyes watching her walk away. "What happened?" I feel a hand on my shoulder no doubt belonging to my mother. "Nothing" I state, shrugging my mom's hand off my shoulder and quickly walking back to my tent as the tears start to fall. When I enter I sit down and curl into myself as I start to sob. This shouldn't be happening, Lexa was gone. Hearing Ontari say that Lexa lives in her, that she talks to her, sees her memories and feels what Lexa feels just becomes the breaking point for my fragile heart. I continue to cry until I fall asleep, exhausted from all the emotions running through my mind. The next morning I exit my tent seeing my mom and Ontari already up packing up camp. My mom turns and sees me. She rushes over to give me a hug "everything okay sweetie?" I just hug her back and nod my head.
She then releases me and I walk over to Ontari, who is packing up her horse. "Ontari…I.."
"If we want to get to Polis soon we should leave immediately." She interrupts, not once sparing me a glance as she talks.
"Right" I say as I go to pack up my tent. Soon we are back on our horses heading to polis. The way there was silent like before only this time there was also an air of awkwardness. We arrived outside the gates of polis around mid day. When the gates opened I gasped. The once lively city was now almost a ghost town. As we entered I couldn't help but compare it to the last time I entered this city with its people's Heda. Last time children and adults ran into the streets to greet and to catch a glimpse of their beloved leader. But this time there were no children coming to greet us and any adults quickly move out of our way and went indoors. A lot has changed in these three months; a lot has changed with this new Heda.
We ride to the tower in the center of polis. Guards take our horses, we start to dismount when a rotten piece of fruit hits Ontari.
"yu no heda, yu nomonjoka, wamplei tu azgeda heda" a villager yelled as he throws another piece of fruit at Ontari.
Ontari manages to dodge the fruit this time. "Sis em op" she orders the guards. The guards grab the man as Ontari dismounts her horse. She walks over and gets right in his face
"yu gaf wamplei tu heda, heda ron op wamplei tu yu." Ontari then unsheathes her sword and stabs the villager in the chest.
"Oh my god" I gasp as I see the villager's life begins to leave his eyes. He drops to the ground as the guards release him. His blood begins to pool by Ontari's feet. Ontari sheaths her sword then turns to head into the tower.
My mother and I dismount our horse. I hurry to catch up to Ontari. "What the hell was that?" I try to keep in step with her "you can't just go around killing people, especially your people." Ontari doesn't respond to my comment and just keeps walking. I finally grab her arm, effectively stopping her.
Ontari doesn't turn to face me as she orders "guards! escort Wanheda and her mother to their room" she then shrugs me off her and continues to walk away. Before I could once again follow her guards blocked my path and took my arms leading me and my mom to our room.
My mom and I are shoved into a room. "Clarke? What happened out there?" My mom asks, but I don't respond. I just stare at the room. "Clarke?" I can't hear a word she says, I just continue to stare. My eyes then land on the bed in the room. I start to move more into the room towards it. I stop right by its side and look down at the white furs, half expecting to find black blood stains still on them. I feel an arm being placed around my shoulder. My mom embraces me as I still stare at the bed. "This was the room wasn't it?" My mom asks gently, I nod, as my hand reaches out to touch the furs on the bed.
I start to feel tears form in my eyes. Before they could be released, the doors start to open. My mom turns around but I continue to look at the bed. "Clarke." My eyes widen as I hear a voice I never wanted to hear again. I turn and look at the one person who took everything from me "Titus".
AN: The translations: you no Heda, you motherfucker. Death to the Ice Nation Heda. Grab him. You wish death to heda, heda gives death to you.
So what do you guys think? I keep getting asked about when we will see lexa. It will be a while until Lexa is seen again. For now we will mostly see ontari talk about lexa. But I promise we will see Lexa again! next update will be on Monday!
