I was just hanging out with Nate when I noticed a very distraught Bellamy coming towards us.
"Nat. We need you in the meeting tent"
"What's wrong Bellamy?" I asked standing up
"Just come with me. This can't wait" Bellamy insisted not giving any details
"Okay. I'll see you later Nate" I said before walking away with Bellamy
"So what's up?"
"This" Bellamy said as he opened the "meeting" tent revealing Octavia, Jasper and Clarke standing next to each other in front of a table with... Ew. Now I want to puke. I quickly pulled my eyes away from it and turned to the others, Octavia and Jasper were looking at me with hopeful eyes as if waiting for me to come up with a magic plan. Ever since the hundred knows how I saved Bellamy and killed the panther with only one bullet everyone looks up to me and fears me, I can't count all the faces I've seen today looking at me expecting me to solve whatever their problem is, Bellamy and Clarke are looking at me as if asking for advice. Just then I noticed the knife, I took it from the table. Shit, that's the dropship's metal.
"It was made from the metal from the dropship"
"What do you mean?" Jasper asked, I could hear the fear in his voice
"Does anyone else know about this?"
"No. We brought it straight here." Octavia informed
"Girls?" Jasper asked
"It means the Grounders didn't kill Wells. It was one of us." Clarke said
"So, there's a murderer in the camp?" Jasper asked.
"There's more than one murderer in this camp. This isn't news. We need to keep it quiet." Bellamy said just as Clarke walked up to open the flap of the tent but I grabbed her arm stopping her and Bellamy stepped next to me in front of her
"Get out of my way, Natalia, Bellamy." Clarke ordered.
"Clarke, be smart about this. Look at what we've achieved... the wall, the patrols. Like it or not, thinking the Grounders killed Wells is good for us." Bellamy explains.
"You sound like a fascist dick. Whoever did this needs to be punished just not in front of everyone else" I snapped before I could stop myself
"Keep people afraid and they'll work for you? Is that it?" Clarke piped up
"Yeah. That's it. But it's good for all of us. Fear of the Grounders is building that wall. And besides, what are you gonna do... just walk out there and ask the killer to step forward? You don't even know whose knife that is." Bellamy said
"Oh, really? J.M. John Murphy. The people have a right to know." Clarke said before pushing past us and out of the tent. I cursed before I rushed out of the tent with the others hot on my tail as we all tried to locate Clarke and Murphy, about a minute later we saw her shoving Murphy. Oh shit.
"Recognize this?" Clarke asked
"It's my knife. Where'd you find it?" Murphy asked.
"Where you dropped it after you killed Wells." Clarke exclaimed and the crowd was growing
"Where I what? The Grounders killed Wells, not me." Murphy said He looks genuinely confused, maybe he didn't do it. I've seen enough guilty faces to know he isn't guilty of murdering Wells.
"I know what you did, and you're gonna pay for it." Clarke said. I know the evidence doesn't help him but my gut is saying he didn't do it, I just know it.
"Really? Bellamy, you really believe this crap?" Murphy asked, he sounded offended
"You threatened to kill him. We all heard you. You hated Wells." Clarke interrupted again
"Bellamy. He's saying the truth"
"How could you know that? They found his knife next to... well you know" Bellamy said
"I just know. Trust me, he didn't do this. Someone could have planted the knife there"
"Why are you defending him? You hate him" Bellamy said
"He's a dick but he doesn't deserve to die"
"Plenty of people hated Wells. His father was the Chancellor that locked us up." Murphy justified
"Yeah, but you're the only one who tried to kill someone before" Clarke exclaimed. Not true
"Come on. This is ridiculous. I don't have to answer to you. I don't have to answer to anyone." Murphy defended poorly
"Come again?" Bellamy asked standing next to me reminding him who's his boss
"Bellamy, look, I'm telling you, man. I didn't do this." Murphy said coming closer to us
"They found his fingers on the ground with your knife." Bellamy revealed. Idiot. The people don't need to know that. Now they are gonna want to see blood.
"Is this the kind of society that we want? You say there should be no rules. Does that mean that we can kill each other without... without punishment?" Clarke piped up
"I already told you. I didn't kill anyone." Murphy said
"I say we float him." A kid yelled through the crowd and people started agreeing
"That's not what I'm saying." Clarke said realizing her mistake. Yes it is. You wanted blood, now you'll have it
"Why not? He deserves to float. It's justice." A kid said
"Revenge isn't justice."
"It's justice. Float him!" Another kid yelled before everyone started kicking Murphy
"No! Get off him! Get off of him! Let him go! You can't do this! Get off me. No! No!" Clarke yelled as she tried to get everyone off of Murphy
"You two can stop this! They'll listen to you!" Clarke yelled at Bellamy and I as the kids were pulling a ropes over Murphy's head. They're gonna hang him?
"Bellamy! You should do it." A kid yelled and the others agreed
"I saw you in the woods with Atom. I know you're not a killer. Bellamy, don't do this. Don't... Don't. Bellamy. You can't do this, Bellamy." Clarke tried to convince him but our eyes met and I knew he didn't want to do it but we both know if he didn't he'd lose the hundred's trust so I just nodded at him, he went up to Murphy and kicked the stool that was keeping him alive
"No. How could you?" Clarke yelled as she shoved him.
"This is on you, Blondie. You should've kept your mouth shut." Bellamy yelled at her as he shoved her back, then out of nowhere Finn comes in
"What the hell are you doing? Cut him down! Charlotte, get out of here now! Cut him down! Get out of my way." Finn yells as he tries to get closer to  cutting down Murphy but Connor puts a knife to his throat and nearly drew blood, immediately I pushed the knife out of his grasp and kicked him in the ribs
"Stop! Okay? Murphy didn't kill Wells! I did!" Charlotte yelled
"Oh shit" I heard Finn say as Clarke, Bellamy, Finn and I dragged Charlotte in our "meeting tent"
We've been in the meeting tent for about ten minutes thinking of a plan, I had a plan but it wouldn't end pretty for Charlotte or literally anyone
"Bring out the girl, Bellamy!" Murphy shouted from outside for the hundred time
"Why, Charlotte?" Bellamy asked
"I was just trying to slay my demons, like you told me." Charlotte justified
"What the hell is she talking about?" Clarke asked
"She misunderstood me. Charlotte, that is not what I meant." Bellamy defended
"Bring the girl out now!" Murphy yelled again
"Nat, Bellamy. Please don't let them hurt me." Charlotte begged as she hugged my torso. I'm becoming softer, damn it. No. I detached myself from Charlotte and walked to stand next to Bellamy
"If you guys have any bright ideas, speak up. Now you stay quiet." Bellamy said
"Those are your boys out there."
"This is not his fault. If princess here had listened to us, those idiots would still be building the wall."
"You want to build a society, princess? Let's build a society. Bring her out." Murphy yelled
"No! Please, Nat, Bellamy." Charlotte begged
"Charlotte, shut up and let us think" I snapped and I could feel Clarke's, Finn's and Bellamy's eyes on me but I couldn't care less. Everything is this kid's fault.
"Flynn, Blondie you're on Charlotte's duty. Get out through the back of the tent, I'll deal with Murphy"
"Nat what are we gonna-" Bellamy started as they sneaked out, I just walked out of the tent, I have no idea what I'm gonna do.
"Well, well, well. Look who decided to join us." Murphy mocked as Bellamy and I approached
"Dial it down and back off." Bellamy ordered Murphy. Does he really think that's gonna work? I knew he was innocent and we were gonna kill him
"Or what? What are you gonna do about me? Hang me?" Murphy asked rhetorically
"He was just giving the hundred what they wanted." I defended not thinking how wrong it sounded
"Yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea. Why don't we do that right now? So, who here wants to see the real murderer hung up? All in favor??" Murphy asked the crowd behind him but only four of his 'friends' raised their hands
"I see. So, it's okay to string me up for nothing, but when this little bitch confesses, you all let her walk? Cowards! All of you are cowards!" Murphy yelled at the crowd
"Hey, Murphy! It's over." Bellamy ordered
"Whatever you say, boss" Murphy muttered before knocking Bellamy out with a log
"Oh shit"
"Jasper" Octavia yelled and I turned around to see Jasper getting punched in the face by Murphy. Well isn't he a sweetheart? God I'm gonna kill that dipshit.
" Let's get the girl. Charlotte! Charlotte, I know you can hear me! And when I find you, you are gonna pay! Come on." Murphy said before him and his goons walked out of camp.
"Nat. What do we do now?" Octavia asked and a lot of people were looking at me for answers. I'm not a leader how should I know? I'm a soldier
"You two take Bellamy to his tent, Octavia get a cloth, Harper get some water and the rest of you go do your jobs the grounders are still out there" Hope that didn't sound too bad. Everyone nodded and started doing their tasks. It worked? I walked into the tent where the boys put Bellamy in and sat next to Octavia who was already sat in front to him with the cloth and the water next to her waiting
"Let me" Octavia gave me the cloth and water, I cleaned the cut gently as soon as I finished I already had a plan in my head. Good, first wake up Bellamy, Second find Charlotte and last kick Murphy's sorry ass. It's a plan that could go very wrong but it's the best thing we got. I slapped Bellamy across the face
"Nat what the-" Octavia started
"He needs to wake up so we can go look for Charlotte"  I explained just as Bellamy started stirring and opening his eyes
"Who did that?" Bellamy asked while slowly sitting up
"Get up. We need to look for Charlotte"
"Alright boss" Bellamy mocked as he got up
"Shut up Tinker-Bell"
"Tinker-Bell really?" Bellamy asked while slowly
"Yep"
"If I'm Tinker-Bell then you're Nia " Bellamy said
"Whatever floats your boat"
"How old are you fifty? No one says that anymore" Bellamy mocked and I rolled my eyes and then elbowed him in the stomach not too hard but hard enough to hurt a bit
"Hey" Bellamy said
"What?" I asked innocently
"Charlotte! You can't hide forever. Don't worry. We won't hurt you." Murphy yelled
"Let's split up, we'll find her faster"
"Nat that's out of the question, it's night and there's grounders out here" Bellamy said
"We don't have a choice Bellamy. Plus I have my gun"
"Fine but if anything just yell or something" Bellamy suggested
"Alright Tinker-Bell" I said before splitting up with him. I walked, run but I still hadn't found her. After around ten minutes I heard a twig snap behind me, it sounds too perfect, if it was one of the hundred more twigs would snap. Someone is following me, a grounder, damn it. I was surrounded by five grounders, each one the size of two soldiers combined.
"Dumb little girl" A grounder said. What are they saying? It sounds like they're bullying me?
"Are you sure its her? She doesn't look like a-" Another grounder said. He looked different, weird different maybe good different but it didn't matter. Kill or be killed moonlight. Was the only thing ringing in me head with the poisoned voice,
"That's her. Kill her" The first grounder that talked said
"So you gonna fight me or what?"
Then the fight started, I kicked one in the gut and slashed the other one in the ribcage with my pocket knife as the same old poisoned memory of that voice kept repeating "Kill or be killed moonlight". we slashed each other back and forth a couple times and I was getting the upper hand but his other grounder friends didn't let me finish it. He pulled me off of the other one and two of them started kicking me till I spit blood. Oh shit.
"Natblida" A grounder said as of realizing something. What the fuck is a natblida? Before I could answer that one of the grounders killed another one. What the hell is going on? Why would he-? I didn't give myself time to overthink it, I slashed the other's one throat without even blinking, then I started fighting another one but without seeing the same grounder kill another one of his people. Is he helping me? Why? Why would he help me? Tons of questions went through my mind as I took out my gun and shot the last two leaving me with zero bullets and just the grounder that "helped" me. We stood there neither of us moving an inch
"Go, Natblida" The grounder said
"You speak English?" I asked in disbelief
"Yeah. Now leave before more of my people come" the grounder answered
"I will but you helped me, thanks for that. what's your name?"
"You must not know that. Now go" The grounder said
"Thanks again" I said before walking away with a million questions filling my brain. First things first: Clean myself. I used the reflection of my knife to see where I was bleeding. I cleaned the cut and made sure no one could see the blue blood, I lifted my shirt to check on my ribs since they were hurting like a bitch. Damn that does not look pretty. I pulled the short back down. Second thing: find Charlotte, Bellamy, Murphy or Finn and Clarke. For my luck I then saw two shadows, one much smaller than the other one. Charlotte and Bellamy? I ran towards them
"Bellamy?"
"Nia?"
"Charlotte come on out" Murphy yelled not too far away from us.
"Help me get her out of here" Bellamy asked
"Alright let's go" We ran against Charlotte's multiple protests, I don't know where we were running to but Murphy was hot on our tail.
"Damn it"  Bellamy cursed and stopped running
"What?- Oh shit" A cliff? Are you kidding me?
"Bellamy, Natalia! You cannot fight all of us. Give her up." Murphy ordered
"We'll see about that" I said putting Charlotte behind Bellamy
"Natalia! Stop! This has gone too far. Just calm down. We'll talk about this." Clarke said coming out from the tree line
"I'm sick of listening to you talk." Murphy said before putting a knife to  Clarke's throat
"Let her go Murphy" I ordered. I have grown to kind of care about the blond, she was so innocent but she could be a great leader with the right guidance.
"I will slit her throat" Murphy threatened as both Finn and I tried to step closer to them
"No, please. Please don't hurt her." Charlotte begged as she again stepped in the middle between Bellamy and I
"Don't hurt her? Okay, I'll make you a deal. You come with me right now, I will let her go." Murphy offered and Charlotte tried to go to Murphy but both Bellamy and I stepped in front of her
"No! No, I have to!" Charlotte protested
"Murphy, this is not happening" Bellamy said
"I can't let any of you get hurt anymore. Not because of me. Not after what I did." Charlotte said and before any of us realized Charlotte jumped off of the cliff. Bellamy started beating Murphy, he is killing him? Bellamy wouldn't kill him would he? Murphy needs to pay but not this way, there is always another way. Clarke tried yelling at Bellamy to stop but he kept hitting him nonstop
"Bellamy, stop! You'll kill him!" Clarke begged again and I looked at Finn making my decision. He got to beat him up but I'm not gonna let him kill Murphy, he didn't push Charlotte off of the cliff, she did that all herself because she could deal with what she did.
"Do it" I ordered and Flynn pulled Bellamy off of Murphy
"Get off me! Uhh! He deserves to die." Bellamy snapped as Finn walked to stand next to me. I had to do everything to stop the flashbacks
"No! We don't decide who lives and dies. Not down here." Clarke snapped back
"If you dare to say the people have a right to decide..." I started
"No, I was wrong before, okay? You were right. Sometimes it's dangerous to tell people the truth. But if we're gonna survive down here, we can't just live by whatever the hell we want. We need rules." Clarke said
"And who makes those rules, huh? You?" Bellamy asked
"For now, Nat, you and I make the rules. Okay?" Clarke said
"So, then what? We just take him back and pretend like it never happened?" Bellamy asked
"No!" Clarke said immediately
"We banish him."
"Get up." Bellamy ordered Murphy and as he kind of got up Bellamy grabbed Murphy by the collar and put him on the edge of the of the cliff. I've seen and killed murders, he is not one.
"Bellamy! Stop!" Clarke yelled and tried to get to the but both Finn and I stopped her
"If I ever catch you near camp, we'll be back here. Understand?" Bellamy said to Murphy and he slightly nodded still hurt from being beat up earlier, Bellamy then threw him back to the floor
"The rest of you can either come with us or go with him and die. Your choice" I said before I walked out of the scene with Finn next to me
"Wanna tell me why your clothes have this much blood on them?" Finn asked
"Let's just say I don't have any more bullets and there were five guys"
"And you're alive. That means they're..." Finn said
"It was them or me" I wasn't gonna tell him everything thing, he'd just freak out and I'm way too tired to deal with that

" Finn said"It was them or me" I wasn't gonna tell him everything thing, he'd just freak out and I'm way too tired to deal with that

"Hey why am I going on the pod, Raven. I thought my sister wanted you to keep me safe? Though I do love the idea of going to Earth"
"Well first of all; no one knows about you and if your sister kept it a secret it was for yours and her safety so there is not really anyone I can leave you with. Plus it'll be fun" Raven tried to cheer me up
"Are sure I'm doing this right?" I asked, I had been helping Raven with certain things she knew I could do even without any experience in the area
"Yeah. Relax, you're a fast learner, you are doing just fine" Raven said
"She turned me in. How much longer?" Abby said rushing in. Nigel turned her in?
"Fifteen minutes." Raven answered
"They're gonna be here in five. No matter what happens, you launch that pod. Do you understand?" Abby asked
"We're not going without you." Raven said
"Only one of us needs to get to the ground, Raven. The second you find those kids, you radio back. Three hundred and twenty innocent people will die if you don't." Abby said. Whoah why didn't I know that?
"Abby, they'll float you." Raven insisted
"Then they'll float me. Tell Clarke I love her." Abby said before Raven and her hugged and Abby walked out to get us some time
"Quick we need to launch now" Raven said as she helped me put on a weird astronaut suit and we both sat on our spots
"Ready?" Raven asked excitedly
