Very out of the ordinary. The trailer for it is also up but I'm not watching that.. I want it to be a surprise! Anyways.. ENJOY!

Reviews:

fallingyuki:This is exciting! I am so looking forward to their being out in nature. I love that Clark is not by herself. I knew Abby was going to make Clark take someone but I didn't think it would be him. I don't know who but not him. Your Murphy is funny. I can't wait to see Murphy vs. mutated bear. I can't wait to see what this Enton fella has to say. I can't seem to figure out why they are looking for them or why they know all the ppl in the party.

Answer:Thank you so much for all the reviews! Really glad that you like my Murphy, he's a very hard character to write so I'm glad you enjoy the way I write him. As for the last review.. Here's where you get all your answers!

Jasmin:It's good to read the story in different POV's. That makes it more interesting :) And I loved that this chapter spiced things a little up.

Answer:I love writing in POV's. It's really the only way I know how to write well so I'm glad you're liking it! Thanks :)

Chapter 11: Scavenging Power

Murphy's P.O.V (About 3pm):

Normally people feel guilty or remorse while watching someone get tortured. Not me, I thought as Lincoln's fist cracked against Entons face and Kane told him to lay off. You see, I'm a person who lacks sympathy. Especially when I know what has to be done. That's why I get a little pissed off with how Jaspers been acting recently but that's besides the point. Does it make me a bad person? Sure. Do I care? No! I lack empathy as well! That's why Clarke, as self-righteous as she is, has actually started to grow on me. She knows how to survive and how to put her feelings aside in order to do so.

"Sir. Please," Kane pleaded walking up to Enton and hunching down to meet his eyes. "We don't need to hurt you. We only want to know why we're being hunted so we can work it out." The big ass grounder just slowly looked up at him with the most annoying smirk. Geez and I thought my smirk was punchable.. We tied his arms up so they were spread apart, leaving his chest and stomach exposed and he was in a standing position. I put my hand on Kanes shoulder, ushering him to move out of the way so Lincoln could do his thing. "Not yet!" He snapped at me, so I put my hands up in surrender and went back to the sitting on the counter of the fast food restaurant we were in. Our whole group was in there waiting for answers. I would too if I was being hunted. "Enton, is it? Look, if you think we are in cahoots with the other clan we aren't. They betrayed us on a very important mission to save our people."

"Kane, he won't know what cahoots means." Bellamy stated.

"I know what it means." Enton stated with that annoying ass smile. "This is fun." After he said that Kane sighed and moved out of the way. Lincoln cracked his knuckles and socked Enton right in the stomach. After a while I let out a bored breath, letting my lips flap, and got off the counter realizing this doesn't concern me, it's not like I'm being tracked down. Also I was getting bored of the unanswered questions. I took off my jacket and placed it on the counter before walking out. I heard someone following me out of the restaurant and when I turned around I realized it was Clarke.

"Huh, and I thought you liked seeing people getting tortured by now." I stated, she sighed.

"Please, shut up Murphy." She sat down on the ground and crossed her arms on top of her knees, laying her forehead on top of them and sighed again. I could tell this was stressing her out. I got mad at myself for what I said and lightly punched my thigh.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean that." She slowly raised her head to look at me. My grey eye's met her blue ones so she knew I meant it. She studied me for a bit then spoke,

"I left Arkadia so that I wouldn't hurt anyone else… And look where we are now." I pressed my lips together hard before I spoke, I had to get something through her head.

"Kay I'm not an expert at making people feel better, Clarke… But I am an expert at surviving."

"Clearly." She chuckled out.

"Yeah, you guys call me the cockroach, right? It's because I am one. I fight to survive anything and everything. In this world we're living in right now," I spread my arms wide and looked around, "It's kill or be killed. That's how we survive. If you have to tourture one grounder… Or kill 300 people.. In order to keep all your friends alive?" I shrugged. "I say screw the grounders and Mountain Men." She stood up and walked over to me. She looked confused for a second but then hugged me. I was taken back by it. I haven't been hugged.. Pretty much ever. I exchanged the embrace and wrapped my arms around her, probably not being very good at it. Enjoying the feeling of being held by anyone.. Even if it was Clarke Griffin.

"I'm glad you came with us Murphy." She said next to my ear and I just broke the hug and smiled, which she returned. "But there has to be a way for us to do things without killing people." A few footsteps came up from behind us and we turned our attention to the doorway. Raven, Kane, Monty, and Jasper came out of the restaurant with the wolf following behind.

"Everything okay out here?" Raven asked with a raised eyebrow, Clarke and I just nodded.

"What's going on in there? Anything?" Clarke asked. Raven shook her head.

"No, but Bellamy's asking for you. We're going to check this place out. See what kind of secrets it holds" She said with an excited smile. It was pretty cute if I must say.

"Good idea. Don't go too far though." Clarke stated before walking back into the restaurant.

"Count me in. I'm dying to do something other than sitting around waiting for your captures to arrive." I stated with a smirk at Raven, who mocked it back at me.

"Alright good." Kane said, "We will split up then. Raven, John and I will be a team and Monty, Jasper and Warin."

"But he only seems to follow you, Bellamy and Lincoln." Monty said, referring to the wolf.

"Ah right. Lincoln taught me how to command him to stay with different people." Kane crouched down to Warins level and spoke in that God awful language. "Mafta op emo." He said while pointing to Monty and Jasper. He followed Kane's finger and walked over to the two potheads, sitting down in front of them.

"Woah.." Jasper said. "Think we can train him to like.. Find alcohol."

"Jesus man. How much alcohol do you need? If you want to die just say the word." I stated, lifting my shirt up to reveal the revolver tucked in the waist of my pants. He just gave me an unamused look before Kane spoke again.

"Alright. We meet back here in two hours."

"I don't have Clarke's watch anymore. I gave it back." Monty stated.

"Just come back once the sun is behind that dune over there." Kane nodded his head toward the massive dune we all climbed over to reach this place. We all nodded and headed our separate ways. Raven, Kane and I are going deeper into the town while Jasper, Monty and Warin are going to the more residential area. The only thing that would make this better is if Kane wasn't there.. And it was just Raven and I.

Raven's P.O.V (About 4pm):

2 hours.. 2 FUCKING hours and we still haven't found anything of use. We've gone door to door non stop looking for ammo, or food, or warm clothes, or ANYTHING that will be of ANY use to us. The three of us walked out of the last building we searched, some kind of music shop.

"Well that was fun." Murphy said, walking out of the store with maracas in his hands.

"No. It wasn't!" I exclaimed, grabbing the maracas out of his hand and throwing them back into the store. "Do you not understand that if we don't find anything useful here we will die?" He watched the maracas fly through the broken window before pursing his lips and looking at me.

"Yeah, I know that. Raven, we've only searched for two hours. So how bout you put aside the mechanic attitude until we search the whole place okay?" I clenched my fists and grit my teeth. Kane spoke up,

"Alright you two that's enough. Raven, have you drank enough wate-"

"I'm fine. Kane." I said with my teeth still clenched together.

"Let's get some shade for a while."

"No. We have to keep looking." I said, eager to find anything to help us on this trip. "For all we know this trip could all be for nothing and this Calgary place doesn't even exist. If that's the case.. Well basically we're all screwed, but I still want to find out if it's real and in order to do that we need to get enough food. Lincoln said we would be passing by cold areas too so we need to find jackets and stuff or we'll all freeze." The two of them were quiet for a moment then Murphy spoke.

"Raven, I'm sure we're going to have more time to look around once Lincoln and Bellamy get their answers from that dickhead of a grounder." Kane nodded in agreement.

"Do you two honestly believe that? After the luck we've had since we got down here? I guarantee we're gonna have to leave this place in a hurry for some reason." Kane walked up to me and placed the hand that wasn't holding his rifle on my shoulder.

"And if that happens we do what we always do.. Survive. And of course this place is real, Clarke saw it with her own eye's in Mount Weather." In my frustration and exhaustion I totally forgot that Kane doesn't know where we're actually going. I know Clarke and Bellamy plan on telling him tonight. "So you guys came up with a name then? Calgary. I like it." I looked at Murphy, the king of lying, for help but he just shook his head at me and looked down.

"Kane. There's something we should tell you." I started and Murphy looked up with his eye's wide.

"Raven no don't! Not yet." He stated, walking closer to us.

"If there's something I should know, I want to know it." Kane said looking back and forth between us. I continued,

"We lied to you." Murphy sighed and started walking away, I'm guessing to save his own ass if Kane freaks out. That's very Murphy of him.

"How?" I looked down not really prepared for the many ways this conversation could go. "Raven. Please." He pleaded and I lifted my head up, taking a deep breath. Right as I opened my mouth I heard a cracking noise in the distance and I looked over to Murphy in the distance who had his arms spread like he was trying to balance on something. He looked at us and then he was gone. He fell through the ground with a grunt.

"Murphy!" I screamed and instantly ran over to the hole he created. Before I could look down it I felt arms wrap around my waist, preventing me from getting any closer.

"Raven! Do you want to fall down there too?" Kane asked, annoyingly calmly.

"Let me go Kane! He could be hurt!" I asked thrashing around in his arms.

"I'm fine!" I heard Murphy say from the hole. I stopped struggling and Kane let go of me.

"Are you sure?" Kane asked.

"I don't see why I'd lie about that!" I could almost hear the smirk in his voice. Kane looked at me with pursed lips and I shook my head with a smile. He then got on the ground and started crawling to the hole. He stopped for a second and looked at me,

"If we crawl we won't be putting so much weight on one area-"

"I know, Kane.. I'm not an idiot.. Like someone who just fell through the ground!"

"Fuck you Raven!" He shouted back and I chuckled to myself, knowing I'm not gonna let this go for a while. I followed Kanes movements and we reached the Murphy hole.. Okay that sounds disgusting.. My bad.

"Murphy where are you? It's pitch black."

"Yeah I noticed." Murphy stated as he walked into the light from the hole.

"Here." Kane pulled out a flashlight from his backpack. "Take this." He held it over the hole and dropped it into Murphy's hands down below. Murphy clicked the flashlight on and looked around for a bit with wide eyes before looking up at us with a real smile.. He actually has a nice smile.

"Guys.. Get down here." Kane and I looked at eachother not prepared for what we would find.

Clarke's P.O.V:

It's been 2 hours since the group left to search around the Wasteland. I can't stop thinking about how Murphy actually tried making me feel better. Maybe he is changing. Sure, he still has his snarky comments and selfish first thoughts but he really does seem to be trying to be better.

"Enton. We don't want to continue this. Just tell us why we're being hunted!" Bellamy said, for about the fortieth time now, clearly getting fed up.

"Oh for God's sake." Octavia said, walking over from the wall she's been leaning against and taking out her sword. "Let's just kill him and keep moving."

"No, O. We need to know what they want from us." Bellamy said, panting from the energy he was using to torture Enton. His tan shirt was drenched in sweat, seeming almost grey now.

"Exactly. Maybe it was a misunderstanding. I mean we've done nothing to the Ice Nation." I said, noticing Enton just staring at me.

"No. You haven't done anything to Azgeda. But you have done a lot to gain power.. Wanheda." Enton stated.

"There's that name again." Bellamy stated with a confused looked. "What does it mean?" He looked at Lincoln, who looked angry.

"Commander of Death." After he answered Bellamy his eyes went wide, as if he realized something. "They're not hunting all of us." He looked at me, "They're hunting you." Enton let out a chuckle at that.

"But Clarke said she saw pictures of all of us." Octavia said.

"Because they know who she's with.. Making all of us targets." I didn't know what to say at this point. My friends, some of the most important people in my life now, are being hunted down because of me.

"Why are they hunting only Clarke, Lincoln?" Bellamy asked. Lincoln just looked Enton right in the eye as he spoke.

"They know about the 300 warriors you burned at your dropship.. And about Mount Whether." He looked at each of us before he continued. "Their Queen wants to kill Clarke in order to take her power of killing hundreds.. They believe this actually works." Enton chuckled after Lincoln finished,

"If I could clap right now I would." He said with that annoying smirk.

Bellamy's eyes met mine, his face having a sort of sympathetic look. The feeling that knowing people think I did what I did out of power was sickening. I constantly tell myself that I did what I had to do.. In both situations. I did those things for my people. I killed Finn for my people I… Maybe there was another way. Maybe I tell myself killing all those people was the only option just to make myself feel better. Bellamy put his hand around my wrist, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked at him while thinking of what to say. I then looked at Enton.

"What will happen to everyone who is with me?"

"They will most definitely be killed." He answered, still smirking. I cleared my throat of the lump that was forming in it from fighting the urge to break down.

"What if I turn myself in?" I asked, seeing Bellamy's head snap towards me in the corner of my eye. "Will they be safe?"

"Not an option, Clarke."

"Bellam-"

"No! There has to be another way."

"Of course they would be safe, as long as they don't get in the way. The queen only wants you." Enton stated, the smirk wiped off his face. I took in his answer for a second.
"Clarke.." Bellamy was looking at me the same way he did when I told him I was leaving Arkadia. "You're not seriously thinking about turning yourself in, are you?"

"None of you deserve to die for something I did."

"Clarke, you didn't do any of that crap alone." Octavia said.

"They don't know that." I motioned to Enton.

"No. This isn't happening." Bellamy stated sternly. "We're going to keep walking. We're going to reach Calgary and we're going to live peacefully and happily." I swallowed another urge to cry and just nodded. I couldn't think clearly right now. Enton scoffed,

"Or the girl can come with me right now and the rest of you can fear not about being slaughtered." He said, making that smirk appear again.

"I've had enough of you." Bellamy stated, relatively calmly, before walking up to him and punching him square in the jaw, knocking him unconscious.

"What's the plan with him?" Octavia asked, pointing at him with her sword.

"He didn't give us the answers we wanted. If Azgeda, by some miracle, doesn't know where we are.. They will once we release him."

"So let's kill him." Octavia stated.

"No. At least not yet." I said, still needing to make a decision. Lincoln came up to me and spoke quietly,

"Clarke, if we let him go he's just gonna go tell Azgeda where we are and we will be chased."

"She's not worried about that." Octavia stated, as if she knew everything about me. "The minute we're all asleep or away she's just gonna release Enton and let him turn her i-"

BANG

Octavia was cut off by a muffled gunshot. We all turned to Entons lifeless body slouched. His arms were the only thing holding him up as his head was looking straight down with blood leaking from it onto the cracked and sandy floor. In front of him was Bellamy, with his rifle in hand, the suppressor Kane brought on the barrel of it and smoke still oozing from the very tip. No one said anything. I just looked down with my eyes closed tight.

"Why?" Was all I asked as a tear crept down my cheek. He looked down with a solemn expression and then looked back up at me.

"Because we're going to figure this out. Together." For some reason the word 'together' is starting to lose it's comfort with me.. Probably because whenever I've done anything together with anyone.. Someone ends up dying. I was going to respond to him, no, yell at him that I'm not worth the rest of our friend's lives but then Monty ran into the restaurant.

"Are the other three in here?" He asked in a panic.

"No, they're not. Why? What's wrong?" Octavia answered.

"Crap. They didn't show up at our meeting spot like we planned.." His eyes found Entons body. "What happened?"

"It doesn't matter right now. Let's go look for the others." Bellamy stated, walking quickly out the restaurant. The rest of them followed him out. Before I left I grabbed Murphy's jacket off the counter and stopped to take one last look at Entons body. One last look at my one chance at redemption.

A little bit of a longer chapter today and I'm glad I'm finally getting this show on the road! It's been kind of a slow start but now we're into the thick of it! Stay tuned to see what Murphy found in the next chapter! Have an amazing day and stay safe. :)
