~2~






We rode out toward sector 7, Octavia and I leading in front.

"How long until the commander lifts the kill order on Lincoln?" She asked as music from the rover drifted through the trees.
"Until I speak with her again. And convince her" I answered

The rover slowed to a stop, and we reined in the horses. Octavia swung down, opening the back door.

"Don't tell me I missed the party" she said
"Sector 8." Monty muttered
"That's ice nation." Miller added

"What about it?" O pressed

"Protocol says go back home, let the chancellor decide what to do next." Raven said, ever the realist.

Bellamy shook his head.
"Screw protocol. The Chancellors not from farm station. Monty is, so is millers boyfriend. It's your call." Bellamy said

Monty's has set.
"Let's do this." Monty said
"You have to ask?" Miller smirked

Bellamy turned to me.
"Try to keep up grounder girl" Bellamy smirked
"Game on sky boy"  I smirked back, swinging onto Faya.









I got there first, of course. Sliding off my horse, I dusted my hands like it was nothing.

"I won" I murmured when bellamy climbed out of the rover.
"Of course you did" he rolled his eyes, fighting a laugh.

"These woods must be the border." Bellamy said
"So where's all the ice?" Jasper asked with that glazed edge in his voice.

"Much further north" O answered
"Azgeda stretches for a thousand miles." I finished

"Good thing we only have to go 200 meters" Monty muttered

"Slow down. Remember- rules of engagement are nonlethal force. Tight formation on my command. Raven you stay in the rover" Bellamy ordered
"Yeah right." She scoffed

I stepped closer.
"Azgeda isnt to be trusted. Every blade they carry is sharp for skaikru." I said

"They're coming. 120 meters....110....They're our people what are you doing?" Monty asked, nervous, as Bellamy drew his gun.
"We hope they're our people" he said

"On my command" bellamy snapped, Octavia and I already drawing our blades.

Riders came into view, white war paint stark against their faces.

"Ice nation?" Bellamy asked
"Yes, white war paint" O confirmed
"Let me handle this. O translate to them" I nodded

I stepped forward, hands open, voice steady.
I take a few steps forward my hands in the air.
"Who are you?" Their leader demanded
"Been so long you don't remember your Haiplana kom uf?" I asked

Recognition flickered in his eyes. 
"You left the side of heda. I wasn't sure if it was you. Who do you stand with now?" he nodded to the people behind me.
"Skaikru. We're looking for their people." I t answered

"Looking for Wanheda" he corrected. They dismounted, eyes locked on mine.
"Wanheda....." I murmured.

"We thought it was you. Word spread you left Hedas side- your history made sense to us." he said
"I could still live up to the name" I said coldly

Behind me, Monty whispered.
"The light. That's the beacon" he said

Jasper brushed past me, reckless.
"Jasper!" I reached for him
"It's ok. I got this." He muttered

"Tell them we observe the commanders and yours truce. Do it now" Bellamy tells me
"We observe the commanders and my truce. Do not break it with one who made it here" I spoke, harsh.

The beacon was torn from him in seconds, then a blade to jaspers throat.
"Where is Wanheda?" The warrior demanded, glaring at only me.

"Let him go!" Bellamy shouted
"We don't know who that is. Please- we can help each other." O pleaded

Jasper just laughed, even as blood traced his skin.
"You think this is funny?" The warrior hissed, citing deeper.

"Enough! You want a fight?  Fight me. But you let him go" I ordered, stepping forward.

The warrior considered, then shoved jasper back. Bellamy caught him, but I didn't look back.

They came at me one by one. And one by one, they fell. My blade cut clean, movements fast and merciless. Bu the end, only one remained. I had him pinned, my sword to his throat.

"Go. Tell your Queen this: I may not stand bu Hedas side, but I can end every one of you on my own" I said coldly

The warrior fled on horseback.

I clenched my blade and turned back, watching Octavia drag jasper to the rover. He was pale, shaking- but alive.


"Miller take one of their horses. Raven, you ride with him. Monty, Dia- you're with me." Bellamy ordered sharply

Miller stepped towards Faya.
"Obviously not" I said, stopping him.

He glanced at me.
"Octavia take Faya" I said and she nods. Before anyone could say anything else I jump into the rover.











"You were right about Jasper ok? Is that what you want me to say?" Monty snapped as we walked.
"Quiet. Keep your eyes peeled. I could've said no." Bellamy muttered.

"He's getting worse isn't he? I mean getting drunk every night is one thing. But smiling with a knife to your throat. That's next level damaged" Monty trailed

"He would've been killed if he was with Trikru. Mourning too long is weakness. At least he'd be with Maya." I cut in

Bellamy jaw tightened.
"We save everyone we can" he said

And then we saw them. Marcus and Indra, standing together.

"Who's he with?" Monty asked
"Indra" I whispered. Recognizing her stance.
"That's Indra?" Monty muttered

"He must have told her we broke the truce" Bellamy said

"Marcus, it wasn't them-" I started, but Marcus cut me off.
"We'll deal with that later. This is about Clarke" he said

"What about her?" Bellamy asked
"She's being hunted" Indra said flatly
"By who?" Monty asked
"By everyone." She answered

I froze, her words slicing through me. My voice dropped low.
"Clarke...is Wanheda" I said

India's silence, her steady gaze, was all the confirmation I needed.
