natheda (the 100)

3. home

"it's in the air"
I look up and everyone walks off
"yeah but what is it? how long is this gonna last?"
I look at Clarke for answers and she reads the book
"it says two days but we don't know how long it's been like this."
"so either a few hours or this day and tomorrow. great. what are we gonna do?"
"I don't know. There's has to be somewhere to go if they all left."
there's must be something we can do here. something in the houses are the castle to help. the handcuffs.
"Clarke if worse comes to worse, I seen some handcuffs in the houses."
she nods at me
"we might have too. come on let's go find the others."
"I guess now we know what the restraints were for."
knew it
"hey, what about the mothership? they're gonna this it's us. how do we warn them?"
oh god I didn't think about that
"we don't. radios don't work down here. for now, we worry about ourselves."
I laugh
"I worry about wonkru. not about myself. I need to get back up there."
"we will okay don't worry. Murphy, are you okay?"
don't worry. is her serious.
"his wounds are superficial. you're lucky."
"I'm lucky? sorry is that your professional diagnosis? because if so, you suck at being a doctor."
"Murphy-"
"Murphy"
"what? no. what? I'm dying to know what he thinks turned my girlfriend into the monster that just attacked me."
"Murphy watch how you talk to Jackson. he does nothing but help. we don't know what's going on here, okay. so don't start."
"it's all right here. "for two days, heaven is hell, and friends become foes." whatever is in the air, it affects people, too."
"why are the rest of us okay?"
"I don't know, but according to this, it comes from the plants."
"it's a children's book."
"yeah, but it's coming true. when we were running from the bugs, emori went down in the brush. it's probably why she lost it first."
"first?"
"we're all breathing it in."
"it's gonna affect us all"
"If it's the air out there, then we'll stay in here. we are gonna ride it out."
"that's a great plan, miller. what happens when we're trapped in here and the rest of us lose our minds?"
"you're already getting on my nerves. but you're right, there's more restraints around this place. we need to separate."
"i'll stay with emori."
"I'm staying by myself"
I walk away to one of the houses
"you need someone to have your key"
I laugh there's no way I'm trusting one of them with my key
"I think I'll be okay by myself."
I finally make it to a house and lock myself up. this is going to be a long day. it already feels like it's been forever but it's barely been 20 minutes
"Aagh! make it stop!"
"mil? miller are you okay?"
"help!"
I hear Jackson say next, I need to get to them. I grab my key and undo my handcuff. I start running to them. I tan into Bellamy and Clarke.
"Lilith you shouldn't be here."
"i should be here just as much as not more than y'all should"
"yeah whatever. Jackson open the door"
"now Jackson."
there door opens up revealing miller slamming his arm on the wall and Jackson looking terrified.
"the bugs. they're inside him."
"what? hey, hey. did you see them?"
"miller stop so we can help you"
"grab him. (miller stop)"
"miller and I was talking about the terrarium and how I think the bugs are an early warning system like the canaries in a coal mine. nate opened it, and they must have gotten out."
"they're dead everywhere else."
"how can they be in him if they're dead, Jackson?"
"just unhook me so I can examine him."
"cut me! you got to cut it out! I can feel it in my arms"
miller screams, Bellamy and Clarke look at each other acting like I'm not even here.
"do it"
Clarke orders Bellamy. I don't have a good feeling about this, all the bugs are dead. this doesn't make any sense.
"nate, nate, I'm here. I'm here."
""
hurry. They're crawling up my arm. Hurry, before they reach my torso. I can't like okiba."
"scalpel, it's not here."
"Bellamy, Lilith, I don't think this is real."
Jackson walks away to get something
"I feel it. Aah! Aagh! rrgh!"
"Jackson, no. what are you- uh!"
Jackson grabbed a knife and pushed Bellamy down breaking something
"ahh!"
"Jackson no"
I help Bellamy up and notice glass everywhere with the dead bugs. he said he opened that.
"tranq him!"
Bellamy says thinking the same thing I was, so I tranq Jackson and Clarke tranqs miller.
"do either of you two want to tell me how two people can have the same hallucination?"
"we have no idea how to survive down here."
"you're right, we don't. but my people need to survive, so we all better figure out a way fast."
they both nod
"let's get back to our handcuffs before this gets worse"
we all walk out and I got with them incase someone had a idea.
"Murphy! son of a b."
Clarke goes and picks up his handcuff
"he took the guns"
Bellamy tells us.
"well let's go find him."
I walk out of the room
"Murphy!"
they both follow me and start yelling for him too
"Murphy. where are you?"
"Murphy, come back, please."
I keep my hand on my sword just incase, Murphy is probably crazy too. Bellamy goes and tries to get echo to open the door but she won't. he seems off. im gonna look for Murphy alone.
"Murphy. come on, stop hiding!"
I can still hear them yelling. then gun shots.
"Murphy!"
Bellamy starts yelling, i need to take him out while Bellamy's distracting him. i start to go find him but I see something that makes me stop.

"o? how did you get here"
"O? what happen to blodreina?"
"you're not supposed to be up"
she laughs
"so you think you can leave me asleep and take over wonkru, is that it?"
"no it's just you're in no state to be making decisions and you being asleep was the best one I could make."
she laughs again
"right you made the decision because your heda now, or not? cause Madi's heda so what are you nat monster?"
"don't call me that. that's not who I am anymore"
"that's who you will always be. what's everyone supposed to call you now huh?"
I just stay quite
"what about.. hmm. hold on let me think. natheda."
I actually don't hate that.
"little natheda thinks she's in charge. you're nothing without me."
"what do you want?"
"that's no way to talk to your mother."
"you're not actually my mother, O."
she slaps me
"I'm the closes thing you have to a mother."
"I know and I'm grateful for that"
"you don't act like it."
"Lilith! help!"
I turn to see Bellamy and Murphy fighting and turn back to see Octavia gone. was that fake?
"Lilith!"
I start running to Clarke and see Bellamy very angry walking up to her. they start to fight but I go for Murphy. who looked dead in the water.
"Murphy. I got you."
Clarke runs to help me wake him up but Bellamy hits her
"this time, you die, not me."
I hit him in the head but he doesn't stop chocking her, he just shoves me to the side.
"Bellamy don't make me kill you"
Murphy gets up and starts to help but Clarke releasing some kind of gas causing us to all pass out.
"Lilith. wake up lil."
I start to see a bunch of light.
"O? O!"
I just up and put a hand on my sword
"woah! woah! hey calm down"
"is it really you?"
"um yeah"
she looks around at everyone
"where are the others"
"locked up to protect us"
"and themselves"
"what happened to Shaw?"
"abby?"
Bellamy starts waking up but Clarke and I look at each other
"what is she doing here"
everyone looks at O
"and who is that?"
Bellamy ask causing me to see the lady I haven't even noticed yet. I put my hand on my sword again.
"John, wake up. come on now. his pulse is too weak."
"mom, what is this?"
a bunch of weird looking veins were all on Murphy
"I don't know."
all of a sudden I hear a bunch of kids. everyone turns their heads to look and a lot of kids start running in the palace, and then they walk up to the lady
"It's okay, rose. don't be afraid."
the little rode girl walks up to me and Clarke
"are you here to take us home?"
"Isn't this your home?"
Clarke says exactly what I'm thinking
