Anya smiled looking at me and then at the fruit.
“ You were incredibly lucky, finding more then one fruit in a single Kali Tree but more, incredible.” She muttered before she too made action to grab something out of the bag on her back.
I froze when she took it out.
“ I'm guessing you have more then just one seeing as you've been giving them out like apples.” She muttered staring at me with a grin.
I paused actually beffudled and confused for a moment.
I stared at her and then the fruit.
“ Where....where did you get one of those?” I asked softly.
I knew it was one of my own creation, I could sense that much so I wouldn't be accusing them of creating a random fake copy for any deluded reason.
“ Oh this?” She asked as she took a bite out of it, she returned the one I had given to her without any word.
“ Yes, that.” My words came out a bit jagged, my anger apparent.
“ Your friend back there didn't just give me information leader of the Sky People, he was also generous enough to gift us one of these precious treasures for us not to kill him, we honoured that and as such this is ours no matter what is said here.” She muttered taking another bite of the fruit a bit too happy at seeing my expression which I wasn't under any falsehoods that I was under control of it.
“ I see.” I muttered almost lifelessly.
I had been betrayed.
That much was apparent.
Someone in my court had gone behind my back and gave Finn a Radiux fruit, they were after all the only ones that had access to the other batch of fruits besides the one I had in my inventory.
It didn't take much or long to deduce who it was.
There was only one person that would do almost anything for Finn after all, raven.
‘ I had even let her keep one of the Radiux fruits when we were picking them from the tree I had grew....’ I thought remembering that one moment.
‘ Stupid....idiot.’
For someone that thought himself so untrustful I sure as hell trusted people to actually not do what I tell them not to do.
‘ Fucking idiot...’
I had been soft, I had allowed raven a lot of things ever since she came down from the ark, all due to the memories I had of her.
Memories of which weren't even fucking mine in the first place!.
I had unconsciously trusted her, not only her but others too.
‘ Moron...’
I was careless.
I had been too fucking careless due to my personal power not understanding that those around me could be a weakness to me in more ways then one.
“ So, sky leader.” Murmured Anya finishing the fruit with lick of her lips.
“ 10 fruits will be supplied to you by sundown at this spot tommorow, here are five for now.” I told her and gave her the bag with the five fruits without care.
This caught her by surprise.
“ I hope you keep your terms of the deal, land will be ours and our treaty too, right?” I stated more then asking.
She looked at my eyes and smirked before nodding, her face returning back to her apathetic mask.
“ So be it, do not trespass into our territory and the treaty will be kept.” She told me.“ We will finalise the better points of the treaty later, I believe that you aren't of the mood for more talks.”
“ That would be great, release Finn and we can meet at a later date, is that fine?”
“ It is, may we meet again ezekiel.” She said and immediately I walked back not paying Finn any glance nor the girls as I passed them.
” Get Finn and let's go.” I muttered loudly, towards Munroe and Harper.
They looked at me and seemingly shrunk and hurriedly went and did exactly what I told them while I walked into the forest, my destination to my camp.
My mind was in disarray but I'd deal with that later, for now I needed to recoup and get back to camp.
_______________________________________________________
As we entered the camp we were met with worried and concerned teens fully equipped for battle or close to.
Behind me were the hunters and guards I came here with, Octavia and Clarke walked side by side occasionally glancing at me if not at Finn who was unconscious.
We entered and immediately I looked at two who were carrying Finn.
“ Lock him up and make sure he doesn't fucking leave.” I muttered immediately everyone close enough who heard looked at me in surprise.
Looking back at Octavia who curiously looked at me and Clarke who worried looked at the boy being dragged into the dropship as if he were a ragdoll.
“ Ezekiel–” Clarke started to say.
“ Not now.” I muttered, my voice low.
“ Someone find me raven!” I ordered and stormed into the dropship as my mind started replaying the events of what transpired at the bridge on repeat.
I could've done better there, I would have done better if I didn't suddenly shut down from Anya's play, the weird effect on her and what it meant, finding out that raven probably betrayed me and then at the fact that there were seemingly other fruits just like mine able to grant people increased physical strength.
That much was apparent from Anya's status screen.
So I needed to break every misconception I had about this place before it killed those close to me.
And finally, i think it was fucking time to deal with Finn.
I had just about enough of the little cunt, his smokescreen being my friendship with Raven wasn't enough anymore and I had some issues to work out, he'd be a great outlet.
As for what Clarke and Raven would think?
Fuck them, I was done playing by their feelings, it was time I fucking started taking this world more then a simple series I watched back in my teens in a past life and actually lived it.
‘ Ah here you're are....’
“ Zek, what's going on?” Cried out raven as she stared at Finn being holstered into the guards shoulder and up into the upper floors of the dropship.
“ What are they doing with Finn?” She ranged looking panicky“ Make them sto–” “ Shut up.” I muttered before she could finish as I stared at her with as much anger as I could muster towards her.
