The last chapter of season three will be up before Monday! Then I'll get to work on season five.
Chapter 7 Season 3
It had been a few days since everything happened between 10k and I. Had I been avoiding him, yes I had. I hadn't seen much of Murphy either the last few days he had work he needed to attend to which meant I had some much needed time with my dad. Only he wasn't himself lately. He was more tired than usual and spent most of his time sleeping which left me and Amy to roam around the town. This didn't sit well with Murphy's blends; they believed that I should have been bitten or had the injection but Murphy insisted that I could be trusted and didn't need it.
Little did we know that today would be the day that everything Murphy had worked for would be lost.
"Has anyone seen Murphy?" I shouted as I walked throughout his place, none of the blends ever answered me maybe it was I wasn't one of them.
Letting out a heavy sigh I carried on walking till I caught sight of Murphy through the window, there he was looking at his zombie mote, a displeased expression crossed his face. Something was wrong and I wanted to know what.
As I made my way out to Murphy blends rushed around bringing people in, arming them ready for what looks like a fight.
"Murphy, what's going on?" I said as I grabbed his arm to stop him in his tracks.10k stood at the side of him looking at my hand on Murphy's was this because Murphy was his leader or because he was jealous?
"Warren she's decided she doesn't like how we're running things" he said as he motioned to the warning and the dead guy hanging.
"What a bitch!" I never thought she stooped to this, she was losing herself.
"We need to get everyone inside and armed ready, she hell bent on destroying blend"
"What can I do to help?" I was not letting Murphy go through this alone not after everything he'd done for me and my dad since getting here.
"No I want you inside and out the way I can't have you getting hurt" he started pushing me inside.
"I'm sorry but no, I'm not one of your blends so you can't just make me go inside. I'm staying and fighting with you Murphy, you're family!" I dug my heels in and turned to him. I think he knew I wasn't going to back down.
"Fine but no getting hurt, go and tell your dad and Amy what's about to happen. They need to be ready for everything" nodding I headed back inside to tell them we were about to go to war.
It wasn't long before everyone was inside and receiving the vaccine, I had made my way back to Murphy who was in his lab making whatever it was he was making. My dad and Amy came with me, not wanting to leave each other's side after what we'd been through.
"We're nearly out of vaccine" Murphy's main blend entered the lab.
"Seek and ye shall find" Murphy replied motioning to the bottles on the table. Picking them up the blend went to make his way out the door but not before saying.
"It's beautiful how so many want to join you, Mr Murphy. It really shows how right you are, they crave the peace you promise." urgh he was such an arse kiss.
As Murphy went back to his work we all just waited for Warren to make her move. We all knew it was coming soon.
With that the power went out. The machine that was once mixing Murphy's creation came to a slow stand still.
"Warren" was all Murphy said. The battle was coming sooner than we thought, she was ready to pounce so we now had to be ready to.
Following Murphy we made our way into a room where all the blends had gathered waiting to hear the speech he was about to give to rally his blends ready for battle.
"Our way of life is envied. Hated even, by desperate fearful individuals. Living without fear is within reach for all of us. But sadly, some find comfort in chaos, death and terror. We knew the day would come when we would have to defend our way of life. And each and everyone of you is worth that sacrifice. Protect each other. Protect this beautiful place we have built. And remember be careful out there." Then his speech was over, it wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst I'd heard.
As Murphy ordered round the blends that didn't leave he stopped on Tommy yet again testing his loyalty. Once they left he turned to us and smiled.
"What would you like us to do?" My dad questioned.
"Your job fine sir is to make sure your daughter doesn't get herself killed"
"So that means you're staying put, got it" he looked at me pointing his finger like I was a child.
"Murphy you can't do that…."
"I can and I will. I'm sure your dad will agree with me, you need to stay out of this fight. I know Warren's upset you but she's ruthless and I wouldn't put it past her to put a bullet in you skull to get to me"
I knew he was right, I didn't like to admit it but Warren was ruthless now and she would put a bullet in my head if it meant getting her hands on Murphy. I don't know if she was fuled on getting the cure or some other vendetta against Murphy.
Gun fire started all around the complex, they were in but how far away was Warren. There we stood waiting for whatever was about to happen next. Suddenly the faint sound of footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs, signaling for us to duck down. My dad crept towards the door while me and Amy hid behind one of the desks. Then a gunshot went off and slowly my dad's lifeless body sunk down the door frame, blood smearing until he hit the bottom. Before I could say anything or run to him, Amy pulled me back poutine her hand over my mouth to muffle the cries that escaped.
It didn't take long for me to calm down, whoever shot him was about to pay for what they did. Slowly crawling over to his body I gave my dad a faint kiss on the cheek as blood dripped down the bullet hole in his head. Climbing over his body we slowly made our way down the hall looking for whoever did this.
It didn't take long to figure out who did this as I rounded the room in which Murphy and Warren stood, with armed blends facing Warren.
"Citizen Z, he might have a message about Lucy" Warren said as the plane passed once again.
"Lucy? He's going down." Murphy spoke as he approached the window.
Lucy was in trouble and Murphy crumbled.
