The legacy you left with me

Chapter five

AN: Wow, sorry this took so long! Not going to lie, kind of had a hard time writing this one.

"Titus" I say.

Looking at him I see a noticeable difference in appearance from the last time I saw him. He looks thinner then I remember him being and the dark circles under his eyes prove that he has not been getting enough sleep. He looks pale and sickly. At one point I might have been concerned for the man's health, but not now. Not after he took Lexa away from me.

"Heda wishes to see you now, Clarke" He says, not looking me in the eyes

"If she wants to see me she can come here" I state defiantly, trying to repress my anger that is developing the longer I am in this room, with this man.

"This is not a Heda you should defy, Clarke" he warns, continuing to not meet my stare, but that statement alone is enough to uncap my anger I been trying to repress.

"And whose fault is that Titus" I hiss, his eyes shoot up to mine and I see the feelings he is trying to bury behind his eyes

" Clar-" he tries but I cut him off before he can speak my name

"No! Don't you dare try to justify what you did. We have this new Heda because of you! You shot Lexa! You killed the woman that I loved! Because of you I am now alone! Because of you.." I start to choke up from all the emotion running through me as I yell at Titus "..My child won't know its nomon." I finish that sentence quietly.

Titus's eyes widen at what I just said "You are with child?...Lexa's Child?" He asks disbelieved. His eyes move down to look at my stomach.

I move my arms in front of my stomach to protect it from Titus's gaze. "Yes" I whisper. Titus looks to be calculating what I just said.

"Impossible" He scoffs. "You and lexa had not laid together, I would have known" He said studying me, thinking he caught me in a lie.

"We did actually, right before you killed her. Lexa and I consummated our love when I told her I was leaving to go back to Arkadia. That's where I was when you broke into my room to shoot me." I start to walk towards him to leave the room so I could go speak to Ontari. Before I reached the door though, I stop right next to Titus.

"And it only takes once right" I say to him. I then continue to the door leaving my mom and a shocked Titus in the room.

I walk down the corridor to the throne room. The guards open the door. I walk in and see Ontari sitting there playing with her knife. For a second I am taken back to my first meeting with Lexa, where she too sat on that same throne playing with her knife to intimidate me back in TonDC. I let a small smile form on my face as I think of the moment that started it all.

My smile fades as I am brought back to reality. "Now you wish to speak to me?" I ask sassily. Ontari just sighs and moves to get out of the chair. She puts her knife back in its holder on her thigh. She then moves to look out the balcony.

"You're upset about what I did earlier, I understand that Wanheda, But you need to understand that this is not the Polis you remember, and I am not the heda you want." Ontari says evenly.

She turns around and faces me "My rule cannot be challenged Clarke-" my eyes widen because this is the first time she has ever said my name. "and I will kill anyone that does." She finishes looking at me with determination in her eyes.

I walk closer to her "Even your own people?" I ask angrily

"Yes" She says in a dark tone. She starts to move towards me slowly. "I have waited too long for this position Clarke and I will not let anything or anyone take it away from me.." Once again spoken in that dark tone, that is starting to create fear in my mind. She stops her advance right in front of me. "…even you."

The sentence hangs in the air. I look into her brown eyes and I see a battle raging behind them. And for the first time since I been with Ontari, I start to feel afraid. This isn't the person in the woods who was borderline nice to me. No this person in front of me was the true Ontari, the ruthless Ice Nation killer.

"I'm not afraid of you" I say to her, to show that her threats are not working even though they secretly are. She turns and walks backs to the throne to sit.

"If only you knew what I did to the blond boy who last said that to me during my conclave, then you would be" Ontari said coldly

Immediately my mind pictures her killing the nightbloods, killing Aden. I try to discard the horrid images flashing in my head of the events.

"It doesn't have to be this way, I can help you." I say

"I'm not the one who needs help right now Wanheda, I have my people under control." Ontari states confidently.

"But for how long, your people might fear you now, but how long until they revolt against you." I stress to her. I then release a small laugh "Hell they are even starting to revolt now."

The room goes silent as Ontari processes my words. We continue to make eye contact. Ontari then closes her eyes and sighs.

"We are done here. You may go back to your room now Wanheda" Ontari says emotionlessly. I continue to stand there not budging at Ontari's dismissal. Ontari just raises an eyebrow at my defiance.

"Actually-" I say quietly "- I was wondering if I can change rooms?" I look pleadingly at Ontari. I can't go back to that room. It's too much. Ontari just looks at me, confused by my request. Her eyes then widen. She then looks at me sadly almost like she knows what happened there, like she remembers.

Just like that Ontari changes back to the girl in the woods. "Guards!" she yells. Two guards enter the room ready to serve their new heda. "Escort Wanheda to a new room." The guards nod at Ontari's orders.

"Thank you" I whisper to her as I leave the room with the guards. I am lead to a new room, when I enter I see that it is slightly smaller than my last one. But that doesn't matter to me because this room doesn't hold the memories of Lexa's death. I move over to the bed, suddenly overcome with exhaustion. I lie down and close my eyes, drifting into a dreamless sleep.

AN: So I was thinking of writing the second story of the series that is about Clarke raising her child from this story, before I finished this one and update them at the same time. Let me know if you want me to do that now or wait until I finished this one. And wow how about last nights episode. you know I'm not a show writer, but I pretty sure its never a good idea to kill all your fan favorites off
