Free Falling {The 100 Rewrite}

12. Bittersweet Revenge

"Water." The horse voice repeating itself brought the girl slowly back to reality. She blinked over and over, squinting at the harsh light. She couldn't figure out how much time had passed as her senses came back to her. Everything that happened to her rushing back to her.

She took in her surroundings. She was in a small section in the drop-ship laying on a cot that was tucked back into a corner, curtains blocking her view from the rest of the ship. There was a lantern near her head as was a chair that was empty, her boots next to it. A cool breeze brought to her attention that she was only in a bra and her jeans. The girl looked to her injured shoulder to notice that the arrow was gone and was replaced by a bandage that wrapped itself around her bicep and shoulder, she lifted it to see some messy stitching underneath.

"This is for tying the noose they hung me with." A quiet voice the girl recognized as Murphy's drew her attention. She listened closer to hear the sounds of struggles and muffled shouting before nothing. The girl tried to move only for pain to seer through her, she gritted her teeth as she tried to remain quiet. There was a clank then Murphy's stuttering, someone caught him.

"He stopped breathing. I-I was trying to help him." The sounds of someone making their way down the ladder gave the girl enough time to roll onto the ground and spot the boots of two people from under the curtain, they moved quickly before stopping again.

"Murphy. Just put the gun down." Jasper's quiet, calm voice filled the space. Murphy had a gun now, great.

"He tried to kill me." He tried reasoning, Jasper's steps stepping backwards before freezing again, Adalynn assumed Murphy pointed the gun directly at the boy who escaped death once already, "Hey! Don't move!"

"Okay, okay. It's cool." Jasper tried confronting the rage and revenge filled Murphy.

"No it's not." His voice was calm but strong, "You know what'll happen to me if you tell Bellamy.

"Tell Bellamy what?" The man in question's voice came over the walkie-talkie.

"Give me the radio, Jasper."

"Murphy has a gun. He killed Myles-" Jasper's voice was cut off by the sound of the gun making contact with skin before body making contact with the ground.

"Murphy? What the hell are you doing?" Bellamy's voice came through static. Unknown to those inside the dropship, Bellamy was in a rush to them, his heart racing at the thought of one of the people he wronged the most being in the same room with one of the people he cares most about with a gun. When he saw the door closing his stomach completely fell, he rushed towards it, calling for the boy angrily.

Adalynn was able to sneakily see through the curtains to watch as Murphy effectively separated the three inside from the rest of the 100. Adalynn was able to catch the eye of a now tied up Jasper and he shook his head no shortly to warn the girl who agreed and watched silently from her hiding place.

Hours had seemed to pass slowly and fast at the same time for both the ones inside the dropship, Jasper and Adalynn sore from their awkward positions, Murphy pacing back and forth in a panic. Outside the dropship, Bellamy hadn't left his spot right outside the door in hours, his brain racing to find what they could do.

"I just heard Murphy has Jasper and Adalynn." Octavia came running up to her brother.

"Yeah. South foxhole done?"

"What?" She was in shock at the words coming from his mouth, "Bellamy, my friends are in there with a killer! What about Addie?!"

"O. Look around. No one's working. If the grounders attack us right now, we're all dead." Octavia didn't wait for her brother's words to finish as she stepped around him and right up to the door.
