Chapter 33-New imformation
Three months later
Clarke's P.O.V
Clarke watched the city from the balcony. She turned her head slightly when Lexa wrapped her arms around her waist. "What are you doing?"
"Watching the city," Clarke answers as she lays her hands on Lexa's. "Every morning I wake up and wait for the moment that I peace ends."
"You're the one that convinced me that we could have peace. We have to continue to enjoy it because we know Jaha is coming. Now what are we doing today?"
"We're going to the Skaikru camp. Check on everybody."
"That's right, now get dressed and we can go."
"Fine," Clarke says as there is a knock. "I swear if there is another meeting, I will throw myself from this tower."
"Go get ready, I'll see who this is," Lexa tells Clarke who nods as she walks into the bathroom and Lexa walks to the door. She pulls it open and looks at Roan.
"What are you doing here?"
"i need your help, Lexa."
Lexa sighs as Clarke comes out of the bathroom. "We're not going to see my Dad are we?"
Costia's P.O.V
Costia hit a sword away from her and stabs her sword through a man's chest. She removed her sword from his chest as he fell to the ground. "That's the last of them," Costia says as she looks at Anya. "You know I didn't need help."
"Believe me, I'm aware," Anya says as she sheaths her sword. "But you left the Skaikru camp a month ago and you haven't come back. We were worried," Anya says.
"Three months months ago I was trying to kill you and now you're worried about me," Costia says.
"Why did you leave?"
"Because I wasn't needed, Harper was getting better with each day and I'm not the type to settle down and sit in a village and wait for the next enemy. These idiots have been robbing travelers. I figured I could help," Costia says. "You don't need to worry about me."
"I'll leave when you tell me why you left," Anya says. "I've spend the last week tracking you down, the least you can do is tell me the truth."
Costia stays silent for a moment before she sighs. "I cared."
"What?" Anya asks.
"Do you remember the day that Murphy, Wells, Harper, and Lincoln got attacked by those clanless while hunting."
"Yeah, I was there helping Jake with his trade plan with the Desert clan. They came back and Murphy had killed three of them, Harper had killed one and Lincoln killed the other tree. But Wells had got stabbed in the shoulder and Harper in the hip."
"I was worried about them, for the first time in years I found myself worried for them. Since Nia took me, the only person I cared about was Ontari. It scared me and I...ran."
"You returned to what you knew before we found you again,"
"I returned to hunting people down, people who are hurting others, it's not the same."
"You're doing good now," Anya says. "But when Lexa decided to keep you alive, it was so you could have a second chance. This isn't using that second chance, you're running. I can't say I know what you are feeling but what I do know is that you should use the chance you have been given," Anya says. "I am heading back. At least we know you're alive," Anya says as she goes to her horse and leaves the one handing woman standing there.
Roan's P.O.V
Roan, Clarke, and Lexa stood in the throne room. "I'm surprised Raven and Luna aren't here."
"Raven is working with the blacksmiths in the city on making breast plates."
"She is still doing that?" Roan asks.
"It's a learning process," Clarke says. "The first blacksmith who tried, well he burnt his hand. So Raven has been working with all of them. Now what's your problem, I thought everything was going good."
"It was. Yesterday we caught a man from the Mountain. Watching us," Roan says.
"Is he still alive?"
"No. He died quickly, I took his mask off and his face and bumps on his face, blood," Roan says.
"What did his suit look like?" Clarke asks.
"A big suit. He was begging us not to take it off," Roan says.
"He died from radiation," Clarke says. "They can't survive out here. There suits protect them from the radiation, if you destroy those suits while they're out here, they'll die. That might be why they take our people."
"What do you mean?" Lexa asks.
"We can survive on the ground, the radiation doesn't affect us. They could be trying to find a cure, using our blood."
"You're saying they have been experimenting on our people?" Lexa asks.
"It's just a theory but I think so," Clarke says as she looks back at Roan. "But why did you come here? Not just to tell us that."
"We found pictures, Lexa. In his bag," Roan says as he grabs a bag as had set by the table. He takes the pictures and a map out. The Clarke and Lexa grab the pictures. It was pictures of the Skaikru camp, Lexa and Clarke, and villages around the Tondc area.
"We figured they knew where the villages were," Lexa says.
"The map," Roan says as he opens it. The map had all the clan's territory and their capitals mapped. "They know where everything is, Heda. They know everything."
"How?" Clarke asks.
"Someone could have talked. They could have toured someone."
"Or my mother could be helping them," Roan says making both of them look at him.
"You don't think Nia would join them? They've killed so many of us."
"I would not be surpised. Warriors have been looking for my mother for three months. Checking everywhere and they have found nothing, maybe they caught my mother and she decided to get revenge, working with the mountain men would do it."
"Let's say this is true. That means the Mountain knows everything, our entire plan," Lexa says.
"That means they would also know how to hurt us. Who to attack, who to kill," Clarke says.
"I guess we are going to the village today," Lexa says. "Nick," She says. The door opens and Nick walks in. "Get Raven, Ontari, and Luna, we leave for the Skaikru village in an hour," Lexa tells Nick who nods as he leaves.
"Roan, do you still have the suit he was wearing?"
"Yeah," Roan says.
"Go to your village, grab it and bring it to the Skaikru village," Clarke tells the man who nods as he leaves.
"Alright, let's get ready to go."
Nia's P.O.V
Nia walked into Dante's office. "You asked for me."
"Johnson didn't return from your son's village," Dante says.
"Then he is probably dead," Nia says. "What of it?"
"It means that they could know everything, which means we have lost the element of surprise."
"We don't need it," Nia says. "You know their plan, we have a plan in motion, we have already won this war, Dante. Now we just need to wait, and maybe cause some mayhem while we wait," Nia tells him.
"What do you want me to tell his wife and son?" Dante asks.
"Tell them that he died trying to kill the savages," Nia says. "He was trying to get us more information."
"Information that you could go out and get, the radiation would not kill you," Dante growls.
"No but every person in the 12 clans is looking for me," Nia says. "They catch me and they will take my head. Let us be honest Dante, I am more vauable to you than your men."
"I do not put value on people," Dante says. "Leave."
Nia nods as she leaves the office.
Harper's P.O.V
Harper hits Murphy's sword away from her and swings her own at him causing the teen to jump back. "You still think you're better than me, John?" Harper asks.
"Yes, I do," Murphy says as Anya rides into the village. Harper sheaths her sword and leaves the ring as Anya climbs off her horse.
"Did you find her?" Harper asks Anya who nods. "Is she okay."
"She's alive," Anya answers. "I will check on her again in a couple days, you can join me," Anya tells Harper who nods.
"Thank you, Anya."
Anya nods as she walks away from the blond.
Jake's P.O.V
Jake sat in his office looking at reports. He looks at the door as it opens and Octavia walks in. "You know, I was hoping that when I left the Ark. I would also escape the paperwork," Jake says. "Guess I can't get everything I wanted. What is it, Octavia?"
"Well, you haven't left this office all day," Octavia says as she sets a plate of food down in front of him. "You need to eat, Jake."
"So I got rid of my daughter just so you could take her responsible?"
"You're welcome," Octavia says as she sits down. Her eyed had healed and now she wore a eyepatch over the eye. "You know, you could ask me to help you, I am your second in command."
"I know," Jake says with a sigh as he leans back in his chair.
"Jake, you've been held in this room the last month and a half since you told Abby you didn't want to be with her anymore, I mean you haven't even told Clarke."
"Clarke is happy in Polis with Lexa, that's all that matters to me, she doesn't need to know that her parents have separated," Jake says. "I'm alright, Octavia. I love you for checking in on me, but I'm fine."
"Okay," Octavia says as Indra opens the door.
"Clarke and Lexa are here."
Clarke's P.O.V
Clarke, Raven, Lexa, Ontari, and Luna climb off their horses. "You guys finally decided to pay us a visit," Wells says with a smile as he walks up to them.
"I know, we've been busy," Clarke says as she hugs her best friend. "I wish this was just us coming to visit."
"Another war?" Kane asks.
"Not yet," Lexa says. "But a war that is coming."
"With who?" Jake asks as he walks up to them.
"Mount Weather, we have new information about our enemy, we all need to talk," Lexa says as she looks around. "Where is Costia?"
"She left," Harper says. "She's alive but she isn't here."
Lexa nods as Roan rides into the village. "Let's talk."
Nia's P.O.V
Nia walks into the infirmary and into a back room where Cage was waiting. "Well?"
"Johnson's dead," Nia answers. "You know the same as I do, Cage. Your father will not be able to do what needs to be done, with him in charge, we will never win this war. You know what you have to do so we can win, so you can finally step in the grass."
"I know," Cage says. "I'll be president before the sky people fall. Don't worry Nia, we'll win no matter what."
Thanks for reading. Next chapter, everybody talks about the new information about Mount Weather, Nia and Cage make a move. I know Abby and Jake was supposed to be a pairing but I just didn't see it, not after everything so I have different plans for both of them. As always suggestions, ideas, and feedback are welcomed. Until next time.
