And if your thinking of me, I'm probably thinking of you. - Arctic Monkeys

"You son of a bitch!" Clarke screams as she pushes Murphy.

"What's your problem?" Murphy says back. The rest of us from inside the tent finally reach Murphy and Clarke. People began to gather around.

"Recognize this?" Clarke says holding up Murphy's knife.

"It's my knife, where'd you find it?" He says as he goes to grab the knife from Clarkes hand.

"Where you dropped it after you killed Wells." Clarke accuses.

"What? The grounders killed Wells. Not me." Murphy says before turning to Bellamy. "Bellamy you really believe this crap?"

I look at Bellamy from where I'm standing. His arms crosses and a hard face on. He doesn't answer Murphy's question, not that he had anytime to before Clarke yells again. "You threatened to kill him. We all heard you. You hated Wells."

"Clarke, plenty of people hated Wells. He was the chancellor, he locked us up. I say, stepping forward shaking my head. I don't like Murphy don't get me wrong but she has no proof.

"Maybe you did it! Wells was killed the same way you killed Atom! A knife to the neck!" She accuses me. The minute she says it I can tell she regrets it. All eyes on me now as I talk. "Your joking right?" I laugh. I look at Bellamy as he just stands there, looking back. I wait for him to come to my defense but he never does. Fucking asshole, I think. "Clarke you have no proof against Murphy, Anyone could've taken that knife." I say. A few people nod there heads agreeing.

"Murphy was the only one to get into a knife with him." She says now in Murphy's face.

"Yea I didn't kill him then either." Murphy defends himself. "Tried to kill Jasper, too." Octavia steps in.

"C'mon this is ridiculous. I don't have to answer to you, I don't have to answer to anyone." Murphy yells and of course the king only steps in when his leadership is on the line. "Come again?" Bellamy raises one eyebrow. Murphy walks closer to him as he speaks.

"Bellamy, look I'm telling you man. I didn't do this." He shakes his head. Everyone around seems to believe Clarke. Except me. If Murphy was gonna kill someone he's the type of person to want everyone to know. There's no way he killed Wells.

"Is this the kind of society we want? You say there should be no rules. Does that mean we can kill each other without punishment?" Clarke yells at the group that's formed.

"I already told you I didn't kill anyone." Murphy turns to Clarke. "I say we float him!" I guy yells interrupting. A chorus of yea's is heard. "That's not what I'm saying." Clarke interjects. Murphy tries to run away as someone trips him. They all start to kick Murphy on the ground. "Stop!" I yell as I pull some people away, but it seems the more I do the more people join in. They drag him to a tree where someone had tied a noose around his neck. I continue to yell and push my way to the front. My arms are grabbed and I turn around quickly punching the guy in the face. I don't look to see who it is as I continue to push my way in further. I see Clarke push Bellamy. "You can stop this!" She pleads. "They'll listen to you!"

"Bellamy you should do it!" A kid conner yells as a chant of Bellamy's name is started. I turn to Bellamy who isn't far. "Bellamy your not a killer, please don't do this." I plead, my eyes begging. He says nothing as he turns to go to Murphy and I grab his arm. "Bellamy please, Don't do this." I say. He pushes me back as I trip on someone's foot, falling to the ground. Octavia behind me. Pulls me up. A look of betrayal on my face as I look up to Bellamy. Pain flashes across it before he turns and kicks the box out from underneath Murphy. Clarke runs to him and repeatedly hits is chest. "How could you!" she cries. "This is on you princess. You should've kept your mouth shut!" He yells and gets in her face. Finn runs in as he fights with Conner to free Murphy. A yell comes through the camp as everyone gets quiet.
