Chapter Ten

Murphy was doing better now, he wasn't panting anymore and had caught his breath. But he was still weak. Finn helped me lift him up, but eventually ran off with the others to figure out what to do about Charlotte.

I put his left arm over my shoulders, holding him up easily. He could walk well, but was still weak and a little out of it. I helped him up the hill, walking him over to one of the less used water holders.

I used a piece of cloth to wash his face off, as well as his hands. I wanted to make sure that no one had stabbed him or anything. Luckily, there were only scratches and scrapes.

"Can you stand on your own?"

He nodded slowly. "Yeah, I can. Thanks."

I smiled sadly at him. "I'm sorry that I couldn't stop them sooner."

"You tried. That's more than any of these other bastards did." He sighed.

I nodded, and then took one of his hands and began to clean it a little more. "Just... Promise me something, okay?"

He looked up at me, and I continued.

"Promise me you won't hurt Charlotte."

His expression went grim. "I can't promise that."

"Please, Murphy." I whispered.

He suddenly stood up, and I mimicked his movements. He was incredibly close to me, but not in the way I liked. He was angry. "Why are you defending her?!"

"I'm not! I'm just saying that we shouldn't try to kill each other! If you don't try to hurt her, they might let you live!" I said, biting my lip. "Bellamy cares about Charlotte a lot, he might try to protect her and kill you if you go after her!"

He glared at me, then shoved past me. "She deserves what's coming to her."

I stared after him, not sure what to do. He thought that I was on her side. He was full of rage, and he wanted to get revenge.

There was no stopping him.

A while later, I ended up standing walking up beside Jasper. "Jasper, I'm sorry for what Murphy tried to do."

He sighed. "I was a little mad at you for defending him, until Monty told me that you were the one who stopped him."

I nodded slowly. "Yeah... It's fine, Jasper. I deserve it if you're angry with me."

He shook his head. "I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at Murphy."

I sighed, and nodded. "So am I."

I said this just as Murphy walked up in front of us, a few of the people that actually agreed with him following after him.

"Bring out the girl, Bellamy!" He yelled, pacing back and forth slowly. "Bring the girl out, now!"

He was getting more and more angry. "Hey, you wanna build a society, Princess?! Let's build a society, bring her out!"

Bellamy came out of the tent, and Murphy quickly walked up to him. "Well well, look who decided to join us."

Bellamy's expression was hard and cold. "Tone it down and back off," He ordered.
