FIRE FLY ( BELLAMY BLAKE FIC )

MURPHY RETURNS

Once I had gotten Octavia and I dinner I walked back to our shared tent and sat across from her on her bed as we talked and laughed like we used to in the sky box.

"Remember my first day in the sky box and you kept trying to talk to me but I kept crying the entire time?" Octavia asked while laughing I laughed with her as I took a bite of my dinner.

Before I could respond our tent flap opened revealing Bellamy, "You two ok?" He asked us in concern I nodded my head before speaking "You?" Bellamy nods and leaves our tent. Octavia scoffs "What a jerk." I laugh at her but soon stop "Go easy on him, he thinks you hate him." "I don't have him, he is my big brother. But right now I don't like him."

I nodded as I finished my food and went to bed as Octavia did the same.

          ...............................................

It was well into the next day as Bellamy got a group of people to come check out the Exodus crash site, Raven asked me to come with but Bellamy didn't like that much. Eventually he let up and said I could only go if I stayed by him at all times.

"You know you don't have to do that, right?" I ask looking up at Bellamy, I paused looking at him his head held high and the sun shining down hitting his face in a perfect way, making it look like his facial outline was glowing. He looked down at me "Do what?" I sighed.

"You don't have to be my knight and shining whatever." Bellamy laughed at me as I eyed him "The Grounders will retaliate after the bridge incident, and with The Exodus crashing I'm sure they sent someone to see what happened." Bellamy said eyeing the crash.

He faced me once again "And for the record, I am your knight and shining whatever. Get used to it." I looked up at him and seeing him smirking down at me Proud of hisself I rolled my eyes but smiled none the less. I focused my attention to Raven and Finn speaking as they eyed Clarke.

Her mom had been on The Exodus when it crashed, she wanted answers. I don't blame her.

Bellamy gently grabbed my hand and pulled me along with him to Raven and Finn. "Stay sharp. Grounder retaliation for what happened on the bridge is coming, just a matter of when." "Can you blame them?" Finn snapped at Bellamy who narrowed his eyes at Finn "No. I blame you."

Finn only looked even angrier, he wasn't going to back down. "Maybe if you didn't bring guns--" Finn didn't finish what he was saying as raven cut him off "If we didn't bring guns, we all would've been killed." Finn scoffed at her words and looked at me.

"Can you believe what they're saying, you know better than anyone if they didn't shoot we would be at peace not war." I looked at Finn and sighed "It doesn't matter anymore, it's over. Now we have to deal with the aftermath." Finn didn't like what I said as he stormed off.

"Clarke, stop!" Raven shouted running to Clarke, I followed and saw a pinkish liquid dripping down in puddle with more of the liquid.

"Rocket fuel?" Clarke asked shocked "Hydrazine... Highly unstable in its non solid form. If this stuff meets fire, we're all pink mist." Raven answered her. "That is amazing." I said happily causing Clarke to eye me weirdly.

"Wanna do the honors?" Raven asked me holding a rock drenched in the hydrazine, I nodded and grabbed the rock, "Fire in the hole!" Raven shouted as my cue.

I quickly threw the rock into the fire and a huge explosion erupted shaking the ground in it's wake, I watched in awe and smiled. Doing that made me feel powerful and once the explosion died down that feeling never left me.

"We need to clear the area." Raven shouted and I saw Bellamy nod but his eyes were on me the whole time, "Okay, then. We move in formation, no straggling, weapons hot. We got to get back before dark." Bellamy shouted.

I walked up to Bellamy who immediately wrapped his arm around my shoulders and brought me closer to him, "I saw the look on your face after you threw the rock in the fire" he stated looking down at me. I nodded "It was amazing, They don't call me the fire starter for nothing. I have a reputation to uphold"

Bellamy laughed "Yeah and you look good doing it, that's why you're my firefly."

              ................................................

Walking back to camp Bellamy and I spoke freely joked and laughed but all that ended when we stepped foot back in camp and Miller ran up to us and informed us an unwanted visitor was back.

I immediately ran to the drop ship and Bellamy was hot on my heals. "Where is he? Everyone but Connor and Derek out... Now!" Bellamy shouted but I didn't leave from my spot as I looked down at Murphy who was shaking and covered in blood, he looked awful.

"He claims he was with the Grounders." Derek informs Bellamy, Finn, Clarke, and I. "We caught him trying to sneak back into camp." Connor finishes for Derek, "I wasn't sneaking. I was running from the Grounders." Murphy speaks softly sounding exhausted, my heart broke for him.

Murphy wasn't my favorite person ever but he didn't deserve this, "Anyone see Grounders?" Bellamy asked and when no one spoke up he pulled his rifle out and pointed it at Murphy "Well, in that case--" Finn stepped up from beside Clarke "Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"We were clear what would happen if he came back." Bellamy spoke looking at Clarke but Finn shook his head. "No. If he was with the Grounders, then he knows things that can help us." I spoke up scaring everyone "He doesn't have any information that can help us, The Grounders aren't stupid they wouldn't risk it."

Clarke looked at me and nodded agreeing with me "Help us? We hanged him. We banished him, and now we're gonna kill him. Get the hell out of my way." Bellamy shouted to Finn. But Clarke spoke ending it " "No. Finn is right."

I rolled my eyes and went around the drop ship and grabbed a cloth and got it wet with my canteen and slowly crouched down to Murphy, the others were so absorbed in their argument they didn't even notice, I watched as Murphy eyed me carefully as he shook in fear.

When I pointed from the rag to him, he nodded his head allowing me to clean him up a bit, I watched as I gently dabbed at his skin not knowing where a wound was but my eyes widened when I saw a deep gash on the outer part of his forearm, I wanted to gasp but didn't as I didn't want to scare Murphy.

I was so focused on cleaning Murphy I didn't hear the conversation but I saw Murphy's lips moving as I moved onto his other arm, I looked up as Bellamy and Finn walked out of the drop ship and Clarke looked down to me and Murphy. "You got him for a minute?" I nodded as she left the drop ship.

I threw the rag I had been using down as it was now soaked in dirt and blood, I picked up another piece and got it wet "Can I wipe your face a bit?" I asked Murphy gently he nodded his head and I pushed his hair off his forehead as some of it was stuck to his face from the blood.

I wiped his face off and got most of the blood and dirt off, he was as clean as he was going to get for now. I put the cloth down "Do you want some water?" I asked holding my canteen up, Murphy's eyes widened and he nodded quickly before I raised the canteen to his lips as he took a sip.

"Why are you being so nice to me? After everything that happened." I sighed before thinking of my answer "Because you don't deserve any of this, you were mad you were accused of something you didn't do and reacted in anger. I would have done the same and I'm sure half this camp would have too. You went about it in a wrong way but we all make mistakes. We are human it's what we do." Murphy smiled at me sweetly and I smiled back.

I stay with Murphy as he closes his eyes and drifts to sleep as I start to clean up the drop ship from the cloths I used to clean Murphy up. I walk out of the drop ship and toss them into a fire.

I walk back into the drop ship and see Murphy sitting up and throwing up blood, I immediately rush over to him and rub his back to help soothe him I wipe the blood from his mouth with a cloth and hand him my canteen to drink from. I was about to get up and get Clarke but she runs into the drop ship with blood trickling down her eyes.
