Chapter 20: Cracks in the Skybox

Murphy's P.O.V:

What I'm about to tell you is fucking CRAZY so you gotta bear with me here... I woke up back in the Skybox on the Ark. I had no idea what was going on. All I knew was that I was hungry, confused, and a tad horny. I looked around my cell. It was just as it was before we were sent to the ground. Was I in a dream? A coma? Why is my life a constant question of "What the fuck is going on"? Octavias' cell was across from mine. It was weird looking at this young raven-haired girl now, knowing exactly who she was and where she came from. She was doing what she usually did in her cell, sitting on her bed hugging her knees and looking scared. Kane walked by doing his usual nightly checkups of everyone's cell. I decided to try and speak to him.

"Yo, Kane what the hell is g-"

"Why are you speaking to me after dark hours Mr. Murphy? Do you not understand what can get you lashed?" He hissed. I knew, now, that it was all talk and he didn't actually want to whip me to a pulp but I put my hands up in surrender anyway and backed away. He carried on past my cell with two guards following close behind him... Nathan Miller was one of them. I wanted to call out to him but that definitely would have gotten me utterly pelted. So I sat down on my bed and thought about what the FUCK was happening right now.

A few minutes passed by and it was now dark in the Skybox except for a blue wraparound light on the second level. All the prisoners were sleeping. Some snored so loud I wanted to break out of my cell just to shut them up. I do NOT miss the Skybox. I heard shuffling around to the left of my cell just out of view. I squinted my eyes to see who was making the noise when Wells Jaha appeared out of fucking NOWHERE. He came out of the darkness like a ninja and I basically had a heart attack.

"Jesus man!" I exclaimed.

"Shhhhhh" He put his finger to his lips and crouched down in front of my cell to stay hidden. After all that was happening and how weird this all was I wasn't really phased by seeing dead Wells Jaha right now.

"Wait.. do you know who I am?" I asked, hoping someone was going through this with me. He chuckled at my question before answering,

"It's kind of hard to forget someone who wanted you dead."

"Yeah.. sorry about that.." was all I could say. I didn't really know this dude but he was a familiar enough face for me to feel more comfortable. I sat down on the ground in front of him with the cell bars in between us. "So what the hell is this? Am I dead?"

"Nope. Not dead but.. knocked the fuck out enough to be seeing dead people." We shared a laugh but then my expression went static.

"Wait. Knocked out? What happened?" I asked.

"Well.. you, Bellamy, Clarke, Jasper, and Octavia fell down into a pretty hefty hole. You should see the look on Kane's face right now. He really cares about you guys." All the memories came flooding back to me now: Kane and I standing in front of the cars checking the thickness of the ice.. the crack that started to form... Then it breaking under our feet. Wells sat down on the ground in front of me and crossed his legs.

"But.. I don't remember falling." I said.

"I remember Clarke telling me once, sometimes people pass out due to shock and not the blow. It's usually the best thing to happen if you fall from a height. You kind of just.. fall asleep and not feel the landing. But you go limp so it actually does less damage."
