Chapter 10: Silencer

Raven's P.O.V

Bellamy, Lincoln, Clarke and Murphy just left to go check out this "Wasteland" Lincoln was talking about. I couldn't stop thinking about Murphy and I's conversation. He actually apologized. John Murphy apologised. At first I was trying to think of the catch. He never struck me as the type to just flip a switch knowing he's being an asshole and to stop acting like one. So far there hasn't been a catch. Which makes me think he really wants to be different, be better. What he said though.. That he doesn't want anyone close to him because he doesn't want them to sacrifice anything for him.. That will stick with me for a bit. Hopefully I can help him open up and want people to care about him. Also the fact that he saved my life makes me want to repay him and I think helping him be a better person will be a good start. I haven't really thought about it yet, but Murphy pushed me out of the way of that bear. The man who almost took my life is the same man who saved it. I think that makes us even now.

"Ugh! We should be with them!" Octavia groaned after about 15 minutes of them being away.

"I agree. We're stronger in numbers." Monty stated

"Lincoln was clear on his orders." Kane stated, standing up from the rock he was sitting on.

"Last time I checked.. Lincoln wasn't the boss of us, in fact, nobody is the boss of us." Jasper said. I decided to speak up,

"Yeah, but he knows this place better than any of us. I'd even go as far to say he's our life-line on this trip." Jasper scoffed at that.

"We took care of ourselves fine without him when we first landed." He looked at Kane. "Without you too."

"That may be so Mr. Jordan, but Raven's right. We are going through a very new territory that none of us have been before."

"Murphy said that he went through a desert and that numbskull is still alive." Octavia stated, I felt a tinge of anger and clenched my fists at what she said about him. "Besides, if Lincoln is our life-line then shouldn't we be with him?" She hoped up onto a rock so everyone could hear her better. "I say we stop waiting around and letting everyone do the work for once and go to the Wasteland with them. I'm sick of feeling useless." She declared and we all shared a glance.

"Alright, I say we do it." Monty said.

"I'm in." Jasper stated, picking up a bag and his rifle.

"Count me in." I said with a smirk, realizing it probably is the better option rather than waiting around for if the others make it back.

"You kids really don't like to follow orders, do you?" Kane said in more of a statement than a question.

"You should probably get used to it Kane." Jasper said as he walked by him with a smirk.

The five of us followed the same path that the others went. We all stopped at the border between forest and desert. None of us had felt sand under our feet before. The sun was already beating down on us because we didn't have the shade from the trees anymore. I took the first step forward and my boots sunk a little bit into the sand. It made a pleasant light crunching noise. I took another step forward with my bad leg and felt my feet slide a little bit underneath me. I couldn't help but smile and look back at the others who all took their first steps into the desert, having similar reactions. Even Kane smiled wide as ever.
