Next day.
I got out of the rover. Dad, Abby and i were invited to a clave meeting with the Commander.
Dad got out and looked over to me "You better control yourself"
I rolled my eyes "just because I wanna kill her doesn't mean I'm actually going to kill her "
Dad rolled his eyes.
He was pissed off at Abby for moving people into Mount Weather. That's where Octavia, Raven, Monty, Jasper, Bellamy, Pike and some others went. Dad offered Bellamy to join us but Bellamy didn't take the offer because he knew that i wouldn't even look at him. His choice. Good choice.
i looked at Abby "We won't leave without Clarke. "
The fact that Abby put the Farm station survivors in Mount Weather could put our truce with the Grounders on the line.
We all walked into Polis.
People were walking around and were happy.
Abby "Marcus, they're staring"
Me "We're under Lexa's protection. "
A little girl ran around and i smiled at her. She shyly smiled back.
Dad "In Polis, only sentries are armed."
The girl took my hand and started running around with me. I smiled . She stopped and looked at my necklace.
Girl "Sze bilaik kom yu boyfriend?"
I looked at my necklace and nodded at her. Bellamy was the one who gave it to me.
The girl then looked at my bracelet .
Me "yo gaf in em?" (You want it?)
She nodded shyly.
I took my bracelet off. I softly grabbed her wrist and put the bracelet around it.
The girl looked at it "Chof"
Then she hugged me, well, she could only reach my waist and then took of running around.
------------
Abby, Dad and i were standing in the Commander's castle. Well it was a damn very high building. High like hell. Guards were standing on the doors as protection.
The door opened and Clarke walked inside. .
Abby hugged her daughter.
Clarke let go of her mother "i have something to tell you and we don't have much time"
Abby "Wait a minute. Just let me look at you"
Dad put a hand on Abby's shoulder "We'll have plenty of time to catch up once we get back home"
Clarke "The Commander's changing the terms of the summit"
I asked confused "Because of Mount Weather or what's changed her mind?"
Clarke looked at me "this is because of the Ice Nation. They want Lexa dead. They want to take over the coalition. "
Abby "that's Lexa's concern, not ours"
Dad shook his head "no, Abby. If Lexa falls, the Coalition shatters, and there's no way we avoid that war"
Me "you said there were new terms. "
Clarke nodded "We become the 13th Clan"
I froze "Does that mean we follow Lexa? The girl who left our people to die in Mount Weather?"
Clarke nodded "Yes"
I scoffed and looked at Dad.
He was walking around and thinking.
Clarke "This is our unity day, mom. You can be the 13th station, or you can be the 13th clan. "
Me "Dad?"
Dad turned to us "Clarke's right. I've seen the Ice Nation army, and we don't stand a chance against them. We need to do this "
Abby looked at Clarke "So we become the 13th Clan. Then what? What's gonna stop the Ice Nation?"
Clarke "Wanheda"
Night.
The leaders of the other 12 Clans were standing with us in the throne room. Lexa was standing in front of the throne. The door opened and Clarke walked inside. All dressed up.
A girl was singing the anthem in their language.
Clarke kneeled before Lexa.
Then a guy kneeled down. He was pretty good looking, actually. But i'm already taken. Then everybody kneeled down. I kneeld down.
The guy stopped singing.
Lexa "Rise. "
We raised.
Lexa "We welcome Skaikru to our halls in the spirit of friendship and harmony, and we welcome Clarke kom Skaikru..."
Clarke walked to us and stood with us in the crowed.
Lexa "Legendary Wanheda, Mountain Slayer. The reason for this summit has changed. We are not here to negotiate a treaty with the Skaikru, but rather to initiate them into the coalition."
They all started to whisper things.
Lexa "To symbolize this union, the leader of Skaikru must bear our mark"
Dad looked at Abby.
Abby whispered to him "the honor should be yours"
Dad nodded and looked at Lexa.
Lexa nodded "Present your arm"
Dad turned to a guy with a branding stick. He put his arm out. The guy put the branding stick on dad's bare arm. Dad held his pain groans back.
Suddenly the doors were slammed open.
My boyfriend was holding a gun at the guy he had his arms around his neck.
I sighed irritated "You've got to be kidding me"
Clarke asked confused"Bellamy?"
Titus, Lexa's right hand, "what is the meaning of this?"
Bellamy "The summit's a trap. "
He looked at Clarke "We need to get you out of here"
Then he threw the guy in his arm to the ground.
I looked at Lexa, confused "What the hell is going on?"
Lexa shook her head "i don't know"
Bellamy "It's the Ice Nation"
a leader "These allegations are an outrage. The Ice Nation never stormed this summit with weapons, breaking our laws. That was the Skaikru"
Pike to my father "We're right about this. The two guards you left behind are dead already. We need to go now"
Lexa "how did you come by this information?"
Bellamy and Octavia turned around to look at someone but that person wasn't there anymore.
Octavia to Bellamy "where the hell is Echo?"
Bellamy asked confused "What's going on? Where the hell is she?"
Octavua "Bellamy, maybe we were wrong about this. "
Bellamy shook his head confused "i don't understand"
Dad walked to him "stand down"
Bellamy handed dad his gun.
Suddenly Bellamy's radio went on.
Raven "Bellamy, Bellamy, come in. The Grounders attacked Mount Weather. "
Bellamy took his radio out "What are you talking about ?"
Raven "It's gone. It's gone. They're all gone. Sinclair and i are the only ones left. I'm so sorry"
She was crying.
The guy "you should have never moved your people back into Mount Weather"
The guy stood in front of Lexa and was looking at us "The Ice Nation did what Lexa was too weak to do"
I stepped to the front "what? Killing innocent people? killing innocent children?"
The good looking guy from earlier looked at me.
Lexa was holding back "this is an act of war. Sentried, arrest the Ice Nation delegation, including the prince"
The guards did what they were told. Two guards grabbed the good looking guy. So he was the prince of the enemy.
Abby to dad "we need to get home. If they attacked Mount Weather, Arkadia could be next"
Dad nodded"i agree"
He looked at Lexa.
Lexa nodded "go. Marshal your forces. We'll avenge the attack together"
Dad nodded.
Indra "I'll escort them"
Bellamy "Clarke, we need to leave now"
Lexa "We need an ambassador from the 13th Clan to stay here in Polis"
Bellamy shook his head "it's not safe here"
Lexa "Clarke will be safe here under my protection"
I walked out
