Atlantis

Chapter Ninety

"Stop it." Faye cried as the voices in her head began to overlap.

Her swords were left in the school, but she still had her knife.

"If you don't kill them first, they'll kill you."

The silent tears began to cover her face as she brought the knife to her arm. Scars on her back weren't enough.

A thousand cuts, for a thousand lives taken.

"Well, look who I found." Murphy said as he saw Faye on the floor. "Come on, not you, too. Put the knife down, or I put one in your leg."

"What are you eating for, Faye? Kill him."

"No. Stop talking!" Faye cried out as she grabbed her head.

"Come on. Don't make me do this. It won't be much fun to shoot you when Bellamy hears it and kills me." Murphy said.

"Don't listen to him. Slash his throat."

"I can't." Faye brought the knife back down to her arm. "Go away, Roach."

"Hey, hey, Faye, Faye, listen to me. No one else is talking. Just you and me." Murphy told her.

"Murphy!" Bellamy yelled from outside.

"Faye, do it. Slit his throat!" The voices yelled.

Faye stood, holding the knife threateningly.

"Faye—"

"Hey." Murphy held up his hands in defense as he saw the look in her eyes.

One step forward and Faye dropped the knife. Falling to her knees and grabbing her head, she cried on the floor.

"I can't. I can't."

"Okay." Murphy looked around, not understanding what was happening. "Now, since you're clearly only a threat to yourself, only slightly to others, what do you say we save Bellamy before he kills both of is?"

They went outside. Murphy would get Bellamy's attention, and Faye would gas him.

Faye thought the plan would work until she saw a shadowy figure watching her.

"Go away." She told him.

He looked up and watched her with his one eyes. "You might be with them." He said, walking towards her. "But you'll never be one of them. You're Trikru. A Commander."

Faye wanted to kill him with her knife but she had lost it. She struggled through the pack and finally found a small knife.

"You can't kill me. I'm in your head." He taunted.

Faye watched Bellamy hold Murphy under the water.  "No."

"They'll come for your head." She heard Sheidheda yell as Faye went running down the hill.

"How many times have you tried to kill my now?" Bellamy demanded as Faye came running down the hill.

When he reached for her, Faye ducked and slashed him in the leg.

"Aargh!" Bellamy groaned in pain.

"Murphy!" Faye ran to the pond to get him. She dropped the bag and ran in.

"I'll kill you."

"Murphy. Uh!" She grabbed him by the jacket and began to pull him out of the water. Faye checked to see if he was breathing and was quickly thrown back.

"Not this time. This time, you die, not me." Faye tried to get up and run, but Bellamy grabbed her jacket.

"Get off." Murphy tried to grab his arm but Bellamy threw him aside.

Faye tried to grab the knife as she could feel Bellamy's grip on her throat get tighter.

"I told you." Sheidheda looked down at her as she struggled to reach for the knife.

Bellamy grabbed the knife and tried to slash at Murphy any time he got close.

"Give me that thing. Stop it, man." Murphy came up behind and grabbed Bellamy by the neck. "You're killing her."

"No! I'm saving us from both of you!" Bellamy yelled as Murphy began to pull him off.

Finally, Faye could reach into the pack and grab the gas.

They were all knocked out until a second group came down from the ground.

"Wake up."

"Ugh." Faye could hear the voices but only saw blurry spots.

Abby began to wake Bellamy.

"Where are the others?" Jordan asked.

"Locked up to protect us." Faye answered.

"What happened to Shaw?" Raven asked.

"Abby?" Bellamy finally woke up. "Ugh." He looked at the cut on his leg. "What the hell is she doing here..." he looked up at Octavia. "And who is that?"

"John, wake up. Come on now. His pulse is too weak."

"Abby, what is this?" Faye asked, pointing to the black lines that began to grow on his chest.

"I don't know." She admitted.

Children began shouting and a little girl walked up the stairs with her friends. Following soon were more kids of different ages.

They all stopped when they saw the strange visitors.

"It's okay, Rose." The strange woman said to one of the children when she saw that she was tied up. "Don't be afraid."

"Are you here to take us home?" The little girl asked Faye.

"Isn't this your home?"
