The Natblida from Skaikru

8 -Wells is dead-

Rae

Waking up this morning I found out that Wells is dead. Personally, I don't really care. But, Clarke does and I've been trying to help her mourn.

~time skip~

It's been about a week since Wells died. Everyone thinks the grounders did it. But, not me. Either way the camp does and it's getting out defense's built. Octavia and Jasper went to take his first step out of camp.
I'm helping Monty with communications.
"Hey mont I'm gonna take a break. Wanna join?"
"Nah I'm good. Just bring me back some water please."
"Sure." I head down the ladder hearing yelling outside.
"REVENGE ISN'T JUSTICE!" Clarke screams. The image before me is terrible. Everyone is surrounding Murphy.
"What the hell is happening?" I yell over everyone. Everyone's head snaps towards me and when Murphy sees me his eyes melt. He feels safer.
"Murphy killed Wells and now everyone wants to float him." Octavia tells me from the sidelines, my eyes widen at the information knowing it wasn't him.
"Murphy didn't kill Wells. And you will not touch him." I say sternly hoping people will stop. Heading towards Murphy I grab his hand. And squeeze it comforting him.
"If she wants to defend a murderer she should float to!" Someone screams from the crowd. And then everyone starts hitting me and Murphy. I distinctly hear Clarke and Bellamy fighting. And then feel something around my neck. Rope.
Opening  my eyes I'm standing in a crate. I see Octavia sobbing, screaming something at Bellamy. And then see him on the brink of tears, but not showing anyone. And Clarke yelling at him. And then see Murphy looking in the same state as me. On a crate and bloody, I probably look the same. Since, I feel the blood dripping onto my mouth.
"You should do it Bellamy!" A person says fro Mano get the crowd. Probably referring to the crates underneath our feet. Then chants of 'Bellamy' are screamed.
And one glance at Bellamy I see his internal battle. He thinks he needs to do this for the people.
I'm going to die.
Then I feel the crate being kicked underneath me. The rope tightening around my neck, the black dots swarming into my vision. The distinct screams and sobs of people. My vision finally giving in, my breath going ragged.
Until my body drops, I feel someone rush to me and pull the rope away from my neck.
"Rae! Rae!" My eyes flutter open to see Octavia standing over me. And Bellamy standing off to the side zoning out at a little girl. "Charlotte killed Wells you were right." Octavia wraps her arms around me. But I feel numb. I was just hanged.
Murphy.
I turn and see him. He's bloody and starting to bruise, and he's rubbing his neck. Turning he meets my eyes. And all I see is anger. I push Octavia's hands away. And rush to his side.
"It was the girl." I mumble in his ear after looking at his face. Seeing if any injuries were bad. He puts his hand on my face. Probably looking at my injuries as well. "Let's go fucking beat her scrawny ass." I say to him. Angry that we were hanged while this girl gets nothing. No punishment. He smirks at me.
"This is why we're friends." He points at himself then me. "We think alike."

Me and Murphy gathered a crowd. Waiting outside Bellamy's tent where he, Clarke, Finn, and little murder child are talking.
"BRING OUT THE GIRL BELLAMY!" I yell out towards the tent.
"PRINCESS YOU WANT JUSTICE BRING HER OUT!" Murphy screams with me. Both of us pure animalistic rage.
Then Bellamy comes out.
"Oh look the king finally decided to show up." Murphy taunts.
"Dial it down, and back off." Bellamy snaps at him.
"Or what?"
"Are you going to hang us again?" I add in. Bellamy's eyes landing on me, they soften and then he glares at me. Returning his attention to Murphy.
"I was just giving the people what they wanted."
"Oh yeah. Let's do that right now! How wants to see the real murderer hanged?" Murphy yells raising his hand up. A mere few following. "I see so it's okay to string me up for NOTHING. But when this little bitch confesses, you let her walk?" Murphy fumes. "Cowards all of you!"
Bellamy takes a step towards him. "Hey Murphy! It's over." Getting Murphy to refocus his attention on him.
"Whatever you say, boss." Bellamy starts to walk away. Until Murphy picks up a log and smacks him. Knocking him out.
"Let's go!" He yells. I grab a knife handing one as well to Murphy.
"Let's get that little fucker." Walking in almost in sync we rip open the entrance to his tent seeing nothing.
"CHARLOTTE I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME AND WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!" Murphy yells.
"YOU CAN RUN ALL YOU WANT BUT WE WILL FIND YOU!" I yell as well.

We've been looking for hours it's already dark out. Murphy and our group have torches and our searching.
"Charlotte come out!"
"We won't hurt you. Let's just talk." I say sweetly, snickering to myself.
"Murphy, Rae I'm over here!" Glancing at Murphy. We run towards the voice.
"We're coming!"
"Over here," she yells again. Then nothing.
Following where we think she went we reach a cliff. Bellamy has Charlotte.
"Bellamy hand her over." Murphy says.
"No."
"You can't fight all of us." I tell him.
"No but I can guarantee I'll take a few of you with me." Clarke and Finn come out into the clearing.
"Let's just be civil about this please. And let's talk about this." She says, in a penalizing tone. Murphy grabs her and holds her to his chest, knife at her throat.
"I'm sick of listening to you talk."
"Let her go." Bellamy tells him.
"Give me the girl."
"No Charlotte don't." Clarke tells her.
"Why are you guys defending her? She killed your best friend Clarke. And you hung us up for a crime Murphy didn't commit. Even after I told you he didn't. She deserves her punishment." I scold at them.
Charlotte tries to step forward. But, Bellamy stops her.
"I can't let you die for me, not after what I've done."
"Charlotte don't." Clarke tries to reason with her.
And I'm almost an instant Charlotte jumps from the cliffs. Murphy and I both in complete shock. Clarke gets out of Murphys now loose grip and sobs. When Bellamy turns cold.
Grabbing Murphy by the collar and punching him over and over again. Until Finn stops him.
"He deserves to die!" Bellamy screams.
"No we don't decide who lives and who dies! Not down here!" Clarke yells.
"So help me god if you say the people-," Bellamy starts.
"No you were right. But for now we keep this quiet."
"What are you saying? Go back to camp and pretend this never happened." Clarke looks off for a moment.
"We banish him." What? And then again Bellamy lifts Murphy up dragging him to the cliff edge.
"If you so much as go near camp, we'll be right back here." Bellamy threatens. "And you," he gestures to our group. "Can either stay with him or come back."
The group starts heading back and then Clarke, Finn, and Bellamy stare at me. Still frozen in place.
"And you?" Bellamy asks.
"I'm staying with Murphy." I look him in the eyes. "Tell O, I had to. And that I love her." I tell him walking towards Murphy and helping him.
