frustration,anger or agression directed inward,toward oneself and one's way of living

Athena's mind raced as she processed the shocking revelation that Charlotte was the one who had killed Wells. Despite the chaos unfolding around her, she pushed aside her own shock and disbelief, focusing instead on helping Murphy. 

Athena frees herself from Bellamy's grip on her waist , and runs to Murphy.As her fingers worked feverishly, her hands moving quickly to untie the rope around his neck, she spared a glance towards Charlotte.

"Murphy, take a breath," she urged, her voice trembling with concern as she reached out to steady him. "Just breathe."

However he seemed full on filled with rage, as soon as he recovered and got up he started yelling out. "Bring out the girl, Bellamy!" 

Realizing she was probably going to make it worse, Athena slowly retreats and goes into the tent.

"I was just trying to slay my demons, like you told me."she heard Charlotte say. Athena stepped forward, her voice tinged with frustration and concern. "That's not what Bellamy meant," she interjected, standing beside Clarke and refusing to acknowledge Bellamy, still angered by his actions towards Murphy. 

"What is she talking about?" Clarke asked. Meanwhile, Murphy's shouts for Charlotte to be brought out continued outside the tent.

"Please don't let them hurt me." Charlotte said almost crying. Athena did not know what to think of the girl standing infront of her. On the one hand she was a young girl who's had a rough life until now and probably did not know how to cope with a lot of things, on the other hand she was old enough to realise that murder was not the answer. 

"Charlotte, hey, it's gonna be okay. Just stay with them." Bellamy told her while turning around to leave the tent , as Finn and Clarke grab Charlotte to leave the tent throught the back without Murphy noticing them. 

As much as. Athena disliked the idea of talking to Bellamy she knew that him going to talk to Murphy was not going to end well. " Wait Bellamy , what's your plan ? You can't just go out and improvise "

"That's exactly what im gonna do Bambi , I can handle Murphy" Athena felt torn as Bellamy brushed off her concerns, his determination evident in his every move. But she couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered in her gut. 

With Murphy's rage simmering just outside the tent, she feared that Bellamy's impulsive actions would only make the situation worse. He grabs hold of the tent. "I know Murphy well," she insisted, her voice tinged with urgency as she reached out to grasp his hand in a futile attempt to stop him.. "He's not going to take this lightly, especially after what happened earlier. Not that i blame him "she mumbles the last part.

 But her words fell on deaf ears as Bellamy shook off her touch and rushed out of the tent, leaving Athena grappling with her own sense of helplessness. 

Athena followed Bellamy out of the tent, her heart heavy with apprehension as she braced herself for the tense confrontation unfolding before her. She remained silent, choosing not to intervene as Bellamy and Murphy squared off, their words laced with anger and resentment.

"Dial it down and back off," Bellamy demanded, his voice tinged with authority.

But Murphy refused to back down, his defiance palpable as he challenged Bellamy's authority. "Or what? What are you gonna do about me? Hang me?" he retorted, his words dripping with bitterness.

Athena's heart ached as she watched the exchange, torn between her loyalty to both Bellamy and Murphy. 

"I was just giving the people what they wanted," Bellamy defended himself, his words ringing hollow in the tense atmosphere.
