Underdog, just look at the mess you made
It such a shame, a shame
We had to find out this way
Revenge loves company, three makes it a crowd
So wash your mouth, sit this one out
You Me At Six - Underdog
"See this Elena?" Mon said handing me a skull of what looked like a small animal, putting it in my hand to look at it, the skull was round but got thinner and sharper as it went down ending with two razor-sharp beak "Recognize the animal?" she asked after a minute "Bird" I answered looking at her to see if I was right and in response to see her giving me a proud smile "Very good, you're getting better every day" she praised beaming at me.
"Again with the skulls, I preferred when it was about anatomy you know to add a doctor to our family" dad's voice made me look back seeing him closing the door making Mom to shake her head at him "Oh Marcus animals are just important" she told him but not dropping her smile. Dad took off his coat putting it on the couch walking over and bended down kissing my forehead whispering "Hello sweetheart" kissing me again making me laugh and moved over to my mom giving her kiss making me roll my eyes.
I gasped waking up looking around me in a confused daze seeing a blanket but not recognizing because it wasn't mine. Glancing around the dropship I saw Jasper and the others sleeping. I let out a sad sigh lying back down turning closing my eyes.
I don't know how long it's been but I couldn't go back to sleep, sighing tiredly I got up turning to look at the others who were still sleeping and quietly snuck out, I remembered that Wells was on watch tonight so I started to walk over to his post, when I got there I saw him lying down leaning against the fallen tree making me laugh while walking up to him "Clarke wore you out today huh?" I asked sarcastically but frowned when I stood close to him, realizing that he was too still making me start breath unevenly "Wells?" I gasped out running over to him only to see a stain on his shirt close to his neck "Wells" I demanded with my voice breaking and grabbed his face only to feel something sticky on them and pulled them away to look at them only to see blood making me start crying realization downing on me "No no no no!" I denied grabbing his face again "No, Wells wake up!" I kept demanding but my voice broke and my tears started to escape "Please I can't do this without you!" I gasped crying caressing his face, he looked peaceful, calm like he was sleeping.
The wound on his neck was fatal and I knew he wasn't going to wake up. My best friend was gone "Clarke!" I screamed out her name with an agonized filled voice "Clarke!" I screamed again probably waking people but I didn't care. I let go of Wells face pushing him away from the tree and lowering him to the ground brushing away my tears sitting close to him not taking my eyes from him, it didn't take long for Clarke to find us followed by Finn and the others.
Grounders, that's what Bellamy said when he showed up,. Wells death made everyone worried so they started to work faster on the wall, they are already close to finish a part. Clarke found out that it was her mother that got her floated and not Wells after finally telling her the truth feeling vengeful she decided to let Monty try her wrist band and he successfully managed to take it off without frying it but back on the Ark it meant death. Thankfully Jasper was much better seeing that Octavia was pulling him after her towards to where the wall wasn't finished determent to help him overcome his fear of leaving camp finally leaving my side, she refused to leave unless I got out of the dropship.
I let out a sigh glancing around camp, I couldn't find Clarke nor Finn regretting that I didn't go with Octavia and Jasper then remembered Monty maybe I could help him.
I started to walk to the dropship when I felt someone grab me making me stop and sigh and turned to look to see Bellamy "We need to talk" he told me but I shook my head "I'm going to help Monty" I refused and went to walk again only for him to step in front of me "Elena, we really need to talk" he demanded with a very serious face and when I didn't answer he grabbed my hand pulling me after him into a tent to see Clarke, Octavia and Jasper. This isn't going to end well I thought to myself when I saw two fingers and a knife on the make shift table.
Clarke took the knife checking it "This knife was made of metal from the dropship" she told us looking at it "What do you mean?" Jasper asked looking at her "Who else knows about this?" Bellamy asked before Clarke answered him "No one. We brought it straight here" Octavia answered him "Clarke, Elena?" Jasper asked glancing between us "It means the grounders didn't kill Wells. It was one of us" I answered not taking my eyes off the knife Clarke was holding "So, there's a murderer in the camp?" Jasper asked making tear my eyes from the knife "There's more than one murderer in this camp. This isn't news. We need to keep it quiet" Bellamy told us but I guess Clarke didn't like and started to head out only to be stopped by Bellamy blocking her "Get out of my way, Bellamy" she demanded sounding angry "Be smart about this. Look at what we've achieved the wall, the patrols. Like it or not, thinking the grounders killed Wells is good for us" he told her trying to reason with her "Oh, good for you, you mean. What keep people afraid and they'll work for you? Is that it?" she asked him with anger "Yeah, that's it. But it's good for all of us. Fear of the grounders is building that wall. And besides, what are you gonna do just walk out there and ask the killer to step forward? You don't even know whose knife that is" he told still not letting her walk pass him Oh, really? J.M. - John Murphy. The people have a right to know" she told him walking around him outside while I stood in shock at what I just heard but quickly ran after her knowing she was doing to do something stupid.
"Clarke wait!" I screamed running after her catching up to her rights before she could get to Murphy and pulled her to a stop making her look at me "Not now Elena" she demanded but I shook my head "Yes now! This isn't the way to do this!" I tried to talk only to have her glare at me "He killed Wells, our best friend I don't care what happened between you two but everyone need to know who he really is, especially you!" she hissed making my heart clench at her words, she pulled herself away from marching to Murphy that was standing close to a boy along some of his gang when Bellamy, Octavia and Jasper showed up only this time Monty was with them. Bellamy and Octavia stood to my right while Jasper and Monty behind me watching Clarke yell at Murphy "You son of a Bitch!" and push Murphy away from the boy making him stumble a little "What's your problem?" he asked her after recovering "Recognize this?" she asked in demanded showing him the knife "It's my knife. Where did you find it?" he asked her reaching to take the knife only to have Clarke pull it away from his grasp "Where you dropped it after you killed Wells" she answered glaring at him "Where I what? The grounders killed Wells, not me" he denied her accusation "I know what you did, and you're gonna pay for it" she hissed back at him not believing him I moved to go there when Octavia's hand grabbed me making me stop shaking her head at me not to get involved.
"Really? Bellamy, you really believe this crap?" he asked looking over at Bellamy hoping for some back up but Bellamy remained silenced making me turn to glare at him "You threatened to kill him. We all heard you, you hated Wells" Clarke spoke again making Murphy look back at her "Plenty of people hated Wells. His father was the chancellor that locked us up" he replied sounding like he wanted to finish argue with her "Yeah, but you're the only one who got in a knife fight with him" Clarke answered not finished yet "Yeah, I didn't kill him then, either" he replied looking at her "Tried to kill Jasper, too" Octavia added making me turn to her angry "What the hell are you doing?" I hissed at her but she ignored me not taking her eyes from Murphy "Come on. This is ridiculous. I don't have to answer to you. I don't have to answer to anyone" Murphy said walking around Clarke "Come again?" Bellamy asked looking at him with his arm crossed "Bellamy, look, I'm telling you, man. I didn't do this" he told him walking over to stand in front of Bellamy "They found his fingers on the ground with your knife" Bellamy told him while Murphy turned to look at me "Elena I wouldn't do that to you" he told me walking to stand in front of me with a look of pleading on his face truly looking like he was honest I opened my mouth to answer when Clarke intervened "Is this the kind of society that we want? You say there should be no rules. Does that mean that we can kill each other without punishment?" she asked looking at the crowd around her "I already told you, I didn't kill anyone" Murphy denied again and I reached over grabbing his hand not caring making him look back at me. He squeezed my hand turning to look back Clarke who looked at me betrayed.
"I say we float him" a boy screamed making Murphy let go of my hand "Yeah" others screamed agreeing with him "That's not what I'm saying" Clarke told him "Why not? He deserves to float. Its justice" he answered with a voice that sounded full of vengeance "Revenge isn't justice" Clarke denied his answer "It's justice" he argued "Float him!" he screamed making everyone start chanting it with him "Murphy you need to run!" I whispered to him making him glance at him "They'll kill you if you won't" I hissed and he nodded and tried to make a run for it only to be trip down to the ground harshly "Murphy!" I screamed seeing the boys kick him and beat him, I went to move so I could help him "Get off of him!" I demanded but only got pulled backward by Bellamy "Let go of me, they'll kill him!" I hissed trying to pull myself off of him. The guys started to drag Murphy towards the clearing pushing his down to the mud hitting him while Clarke and I were running after them the guy who wanted to float him pushed back Clarke not letting us get close while Bellamy was behind us "Get off of me" Clarke told him pushing him away while they started to lift Murphy by the rope in his neck making him stand on some sort of platform "You can stop this! They'll listen to you!" Clarke pleaded after running to him hitting his chest while he watched Murphy "Bellamy please" I also pleaded grabbing his coat making him look at me "Bellamy! You should do it" the guy who pushed Clarke told him making us look at him "Bel-la-my!" he started chanting again making me glaze at him "I saw you in the woods with Atom I know you're not a killer" Clarke continued to plead "Bellamy, please don't do this" I begged when I saw him look at Murphy with an expression the I saw before, the same look that my father had when he floated my mother. "Don't, Bellamy!" I begged trying to stop him when he started to walk towards Murphy he only ignored me when Clarke ran from behind me "You can't do this, Bellamy" she screamed hitting his back just as he reached the platform and without hesitation kicked it from underneath Murphy's feet making me scream seeing him gasping for air with his mouth gagged looking in pain "How could you!" I screamed in agonize at Bellamy hitting him when he grabbed my hands "You can blame the Princess, who should've kept her mouth shut" he hissed at me stopping me from hitting him grabbing my hands and glared at Clarke next to me.
"What the hell are you doing? Cut him down!" Finn screamed appearing out of nowhere running over to us "Charlotte, get out of here now! Cut him down!" he added and turned to help Murphy only to get threaten by the gut that was determined to kill him "Stop! Ok? Murphy didn't kill Wells! - I did!" Charlotte voice made everyone freeze and look at her in shock "Oh, my God" Clarke whispered before grabbing the hack from Bellamy's belt and quickly cut off the rope making Murphy drop down on the ground and quickly ran over to him dropping next to him removing his gag while Finn loosen the rope around his neck. When I lifted my head I saw Finn looking at me and I looked back glancing back down at
Murphy who looked furious and over at Charlotte and then back at Finn, both of us with a knowing look on our faces, it wasn't over.
"Bring out the girl, Bellamy! Murphy voice was heard from outside, we managed to get Charlotte into the tent. Finn and Clarke stood next to each other while Bellamy stood close to Charlotte and well I stood in the middle with arm crossed trying to think on a plan, it didn't look like Murphy would give up anytime soon. We were screwed.
"Why, Charlotte?" Bellamy asked her breaking the silence "I was just trying to slay my demons, like you told me" she answered making me glare at him "What the hell is she talking about?" Clarke hissed angrily just as she answered "She misunderstood me" Bellamy answered looking at Clarke and then me before turning back to Charlotte. "Charlotte that is not what I meant" he told her "Bring the girl out now!" Murphy screamed again "Please don't let them hurt me" Charlotte pleaded with him with tears and shaking voice looking terrified making Bellamy look at us "If you guys have any bright ideas, speak up" and kept looking at us but I lowered my head refusing to look at him young or not she killed Wells "Now you stay quiet" he said glaring at Clarke "Those are your boys out there" Finn yelled at him "This is not my fault. If she had listened to me, those idiots would still be building the wall" Bellamy yelled back glaring at both of them "You want to build a society, princess?" Murphy yelled again making Finn drop down to lift the curtain to look outside" Let's build a society. Bring her out" Finn quickly closed the curtain standing back up "No! Please, Bellamy" Charlotte pleaded terrified making Bellamy drop to his next in front of her "Charlotte, hey, it's gonna be ok. Just stay with them" I was probably going to regret doing but the hell with it she didn't deserve to get treated this way.
"Finn take Clarke and Charlotte with you, hide wherever you can" I spoke making them look at me Clarke didn't say anything but Finn nodded his head understandingly so I looked at Bellamy "Go out there and stall him" but he shook his head walking over me "You can't stay here if he finds you here instead of Charlotte he'll hurt you" he said looking at Finn for back up "He's right Elena" he agreed both of them not letting me argue. We were running toward the hole in the wall fast and quietly with Finn leading the way we reached the wall passing it running towards the grave when Clarke stopped putting her hands of mine making me also stop "What?" I hissed quietly "I agree with Bellamy but Elena, Murphy might use you to get her" she whispered making me glare at her "So what? I just stay here and do nothing, Clarke you can't ask me that!" I hissed looking behind her to see Finn motioning for us to hurry, I tried to move but Clarke tightened her grip making me look at her again getting impatient "Damn it Elena I can't lose you too!" she finally spoke making me frown seeing her glance at Charlotte and back at me looking truly afraid with a pleading look at her face "Right now you're the one thing thats keeping me sane. I can't lose you" she pleaded making me close my eyes hearing the despair and fear in her voice and opened my eyes and let out a sigh making me feel her emotions too and nodded "I'll stay with Monty and Jasper" I told her making her sigh closing her eyes and pull me into a bone crushing hug "Now run!".
I found Monty and Jasper inside the drop ship, Monty was connecting wires to Clarke wrist band not wanting to interfere and sat quietly next to Jasper managing to give a smile and looked at Monty "I thought you left with Clarke" Jasper whispered making me look at him "I did" I answered "Then why did you come back?" he asked and I let out a sad sigh "Clarke" I summered up "Gotcha" he answered putting his arm around me pulling me into his side tickling me making me giggle taking my mind off Clarke and the others and tried to push his hand put he didn't do it again "I think that without you Clarke won't be able to be what she is" he spoke making me lift my head from his shoulder to look at him "What makes you say that?" I asked curiously "You may not see it but she always looks up to you and not just that, there's something about you that makes people want to be good. You look at someone without judging them no matter who they are and what they did. Hell you made Murphy fall for you and he's a dick" he said making me laugh at his bluntness "You even make Bellamy wait for you before he decides, you truly are amazing" he finished making me smile warming my heart at his words looking into his eyes "You're a good friend" I murmured snuggling into his side feeling appreciated.
"Finn" Murphy yelled not taking his eyes off the ground while Finn stopped waiting to hear what he wanted to say "Tell Elena I'm sorry" he whispered while Finn stood there and looked at Murphy not knowing what to feel about him but he knew that Murphy truly meant it. As much as he was angry "I will" he managed to get out and turned away starting to walk back to camp. Back to tell Elena that her best friend decided to banish alongside Bellamy the guy she might have had feeling for.
It was late and I was worried, they weren't back yet and it was already dark and finally I saw a mop of blonde hair appearing out of the woods, Clarke. I let out a sigh of relief walking to stand next to the fire. Bellamy showed up soon after her but both had a look of defeat on their faces making my heart drop, like they lost. I saw Murphy's goons making me hold my breath they kept walking but no Murphy and then Finn appeared straight away caught my gaze and slowly shook his head and I knew what it meant not seeing Charlotte either, they were gone. I took a deep breath and saw Clarke with a very guilty look on her face walking towards me but I shook my head making her stop in her tracks not wanting to talk to her and started to back away not wanting to hear how they got back and what happened.
"I'm lost Wells" I whispered sitting next to Wells's grave putting flowers on it letting out a sigh, everyone at camp gathered around the fire to hear what happened but I chose to be here. I didn't know how I felt towards Murphy, I knew I cared about him but I don't know if I had feeling for him I guess I'll never find out, I heard a twig snap from behind me but I couldn't care less. After a moment someone sat beside me and I turned to look and saw it was Finn "Not to be rude or anything but I want to be alone" I said returning my gaze to the grave but he didn't say anything "He wanted me to tell you he was sorry" he said making me heart miss a beat and looked at him in disbelief I thought Bellamy killed him "He's alive?" I asked and couldn't help but sound relieved making Finn smile at me "Yeah, that's what they're going to tell everyone" he told my and grabbed my hand "Just come back when you're ready" he gave my hand a squeeze and got up but not before leaving a torch embedded on the ground close to me and walked away. Why couldn't I fall for one of the good guys I thought to myself watching him walk back to camp.
"Will we be able to talk to them?" Clarke asked looking at Monty while Octavia, Jasper and I stood close to her Finn leaning on the wall close by all of us watching Monty "No, More like Morse code" he replied and looked at Jasper "You want to do the honors?" he asked while Jasper walked next to him and handed him the wire "That port right there" he showed pointing it so Jasper would see and slowly Jasper brought it there and took a deep breath and gently attached it to the port when I spark appeared and I felt a sharp pain on my wrist were the wrist band was making me hiss in pain "What happened?" Clarke demanded but I think I know what happened "It didn't work. I think we fried all the wristbands" Monty answered sadly sounding disappointed with himself making me put a comforting hand on his shoulder "We'll figure something out" I said to try reassure him but I didn't know if I believed in what I just told him Finn stormed out not looking back and Clarke glanced between us and ran after him and Jasper started to walk backwards and slid down the wall followed by Octavia who knelt in front of him. Monty was messing when I saw Octavia leaning over and kiss Jasper quickly hitting Monty's shoulder making him look too, we both turned to each us with the same grin on our faces and did a fist bump because we kinda knew about his crush on her, Octavia stood up and started to walk away when Jasper looked over to us and Monty gave him a thumb up making him crack a smile as if to say good job making me laugh at their childish behavior "Elena you comin?' Octavia asked looking at me from the exit "Where?" I asked not in the mood to wonder around "My tent, to sleep figured…" she trailed off moving around and I couldn't help but smile at her "Night Monty" I parted kissing his cheek running over to Octavia who led me to her tent this time missing Jasper's thumb up to Monty.
