Murphy Redemption

*Post 2x01*

Raven P.O.V

Raven couldn't stop thinking about what Murphy had told her about his parents. As she went into surgery that's all that took up her mind. Finn went to grab her hand.

'I'm here for,' he said gently gripping her hand. He always said that, she thought to herself, but Finn being there for her, had lost all meaning now that she knew Finn and her were never going to be together anymore. 'Do you want me to talk or should I just shut up?' He asked. Just shut up, she thought to herself, but she couldn't be bothered to say anything, she was too busy trembling with fear about the pain that was to come from her surgery.

'Just do it!' she gritted her teeth yelling at Abby as she tightly clutched Finn's hand, she saw him wince, and she gave him a death stare. How could he possibly complain about that pain, when she was about to go through something so much more painful. She could possibly die from this.

Abby grabbed the knife, and she pushed it into her back, where the bullet was. The minute the knife had pierced the skin Raven could feel the pain. She screamed.

Murphy P.O.V

Murphy heard the screams of Raven echo through his prison cell on the now on Earth Ark. He couldn't help feeling guilty. He had caused those screams when he shot Raven. Of course, he couldn't have known he was going to shoot Raven. He was attempting to hang Bellamy, and he could hear voices under the floorboards of the drop ship. He had assumed it was the voice of Octavia, and he wasn't particularly concerned about hurting her.

If he had have known it was Raven would he still have shot? He wasn't sure.

All he knew was in his opinion she was the only one who didn't deserve it, she was the only one who hadn't sentenced him to banishment. That's why when he found her dying in the drop ship, he felt a soft spot inside himself and helped her.

The screams of Raven started to remind Murphy of his torture in the grounder camp. He looked around his prison cell at his prison buddy whom he had just so recently tried to kill.

'Yeah that was me in the grounder camp' he said.

'Shut up Murphy,' Bellamy growled.

'Yep, they tortured me for three days straight.'

'Until you caved and told them everything.'

'And you wouldn't have because you're better than me?' Murphy asked sarcastically.

'Damn right.'

'You just keep letting yourself think that Bellamy.'

Raven's P.O.V

The surgery was finally over. She was so relieved even though she still felt pain in her body, it wasn't to the same extent as the pain during the surgery.

She was glad to know the bullet Murphy had inserted into her body had been taken out, she made a note in her head never to let that psychopath hurt her again. But she couldn't feel angry with him, not after what he told her. No matter what he had done to her, and no matter what she had heard, the only conclusion she could come to after the day when it was just them two in the drop ship, was that he was a genuinely tragic person, in need of a friend.
