Pretty much the whole camp was outside with Murphy in front. "Well, well, well. Look who decided to join us." Murphy said stepped forward. "Our merciless leader, and warrior." I shifted uncomfortable as he used my nickname.

"Dial it down and back off." Bellamy said.

"Or what?" They were only a foot away from each other in an intense stare down. "What are you gonna do about me? Hang me?" I looked over Murphy. Blood coated his face, and chaff marks were on his face and neck. He looked terrible.

"I was just giving the people what they wanted." Bellamy stated.

Murphy paused. "Yeah, yeah. That's a good idea. Why don't we do that right now?" He turned so he was facing the crowd. "So, who here wants to see the real murderer hung up?" I took a sharp intake of breath, I wouldn't be able to bare to see her hanging. Murphy raised his hand. "All in favor?"

I held my breath to see who would raise their hands. The only people who did were Murphy's five bitches. Everyone else were looking at them like they were baby killers. "I see" Murphy said. "So, it's ok to string me up for nothing, but when this little bitch confesses, you all let her walk?"

As soon as he called Charlotte a bitch, my being able to handle Murphy gage went to zero. I pushed my way passed Bellamy. "Don't you dare call her a bitch!" I screamed at him. But before I could punch Murphy, Bellamy grabbed my arm.

Murphy looked to me. "Cowards!" He yelled. "All of you are cowards! And maybe you want to take her place warrior."

"Hey, Murphy!" Bellamy said pushing me behind him and walking towards him. "Murphy. It's over."

Murphy looked at Bellamy with a stare that showed that it wasn't over. "Whatever you say, boss." Bellamy seemed to take it, and started walking back to me.

I however, kept my eyes on Murphy, and it's a good thing I did because he ran forward picking up a log and raised it above his head about to hit Bellamy. I ran forward pushing Bellamy out of the way, and felt the log come crashing down on my head knocking me to the ground.

"You son of a bitch" I heard Octavia and Bellamy cry together. I looked up just in time to see Murphy punch Bellamy in the face. He crumpled to the ground next to me.

"Come on." Murphy said above us. "Let's get the girl." I didn't know if Finn and Clarke had escape with Charlotte yet, so I reached out and grabbed his leg tripping him. However, Murphy regained his posture and looked down at me in disgust. He reared back and kicked me hard in the stomach. I let out a whimper, and watched through blurred vision as Murphy peered in the tent. "Charlotte!" He yelled, I sighed knowing they had escaped. "Charlotte, I know you can hear me! And when I find you, you are gonna pay!"

I laid on the ground and heard someone beside me. "Echo," It was Octavia. "You're bleeding." I touched my head where Murphy had hit my head. I pulled back my hand, and saw the crimson blood. "Come on," She held out her hand, and I grabbed it as she pulled me up. Instead of going with her, I bent down next to Bellamy.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

He looked at me, and I saw blood dripping down his nose. "I thought we weren't talking." He said.

"You're bleeding, and I'm the doctor." I said looking at his nose. "And right now my patient has a broken nose, now if you don't mind, I'm going to fix it."

Bellamy nodded, and I reached to touch him. My hands hovered above his face, 'You have to do this, Echo,' I held my breath as I held the one side of his face, and then the other. I touched his broken nose with my thumbs. "This is going to hurt." I said.
