The tension in the room was sickening."Pull that over here" Murphy instructed Bellamy to, referring to a crate on the other side of the room. Bellamy did what he said, dragging it over to place in under the robe. "Now stand on it".
Once again he did what he wanted him to do. But when he heard his next command, he hesitated.
"Put it over your head".
"This is insane" Bellamy said, "The grounders could—"
A shot rang through the air, and a wave of shock washed through River, her entire body stiffening as she awaited for the pain she had expected. Yet, it never came. Glancing over her shoulder, she observed how a dense had formed in the metal wall from the bullet's force.
Her breath was rapid as she viewed a wide eyed Bellamy meet her eye.
"Put it over your head" Murphy instructed once more, and this time Bellamy didn't waste a second, terrified of another bullet being sent her way.
"Happy now?".
Murphy pulled at the rope, tightening it around Bellamy's neck, "You're so brave, aren't you? I mean, you came in here thinking you were just gonna turn this whole thing around, that you're stronger than me, and maybe one of your friends would come and help you".
River felt a panic rise as she watched Murphy tighten the robe more and more. She'd never felt so helpless before in her life. She could do nothing but sit there and wait for their doomsday, not having any chance to stop it.
"Well, what are you thinking now, Bellamy?".
Murphy tugged the rope so harshly that Bellamy had to bring his hands up to the robe to breathe.
River's pleads were muffled by the gag, the corners of her mouth growing sore from the fabric. Tears swelled in her brown eyes, shining up at the terrifying scene before her.
Bellamy managed to look over at the fragile River, "Rivi, it's gonna be okay" he assured, although it didn't seem like the most likely outcome at the time.
