Slightly groaning I feel sharp pain coming from the side of my head, slowly placing my hand on it I feel a bump. Opening my eyes I see Jasper propped up next to me, his hand tied while a red rag is covering his face his eyes are full of tears. Looking down at my hands I realise that they're free and I'm not tied down at all but Jasper begins to shake his head. Giving him a confused look I mouth 'what'. He closes his eyes and rests his head to the side like he's going to sleep. Oh, he wants me to act asleep. Nodding I place my head back on Jasper's shoulder before squinting my eyes.

Not taking in much I hear Murphy talking to Bellamy through the radio. "You're leaving us vulnerable to an attack and I can't let that happen," I hear Bellamy trail off.

"Well, in case you haven't noticed you're not exactly in control right now," Murphy told him as he played with his gun.

Bellamy doesn't reply for a second, before he says "Come on Murphy you don't wanna hurt Elena or Jasper, you wanna hurt me," he continues "So what do you say? How about you trade them for me," Bellamy proposed but Murphy wasn't budging "Look all you have to do is let them go and I'll take their place,"

Murphy glances back to us so quickly I close my eyes shut "One of them," he offers " And how?"

"Simple you open the door I walk in they walk out, and come on you don't need to keep them both, they did nothing to you, I'm the one you want," Bellamy pleads Murphy as to try and let us go.

Murphy doesn't reply, but I can feel his eyes burning into me. Leaving us, he goes to the control panel and opens the door. Then, making his way back over to us he lifted Jasper, as I was leaning on Jasper and still had to act knocked out my body fell to the side.

Jasper started jumping back, trying not to leave me, but it didn't help. "Just you Bellamy! Unarmed! Ten seconds or I'll put one in Jasper's leg!" Murphy shouts, waiting for Bellamy to walk in. "One! Two! Three! Four! Five!" Opening my eyes slightly, I see Murphy kick Jasper out of the drop ship and then Bellamy walking in.

"And Elena," Bellamy orders Murphy glancing at me lying in the back.

"I did say, only one of them, should have chosen" Murphy shrugs as he holds his gun tight to his body, ready to shoot.

Bellamy doesn't take no for an answer as he keeps pushing "Oh come on Murphy, she's just a kid."

"A kid who wanted you to kill me, don't think I didn't hear that," Murphy retaliated. I probably shouldn't have said that so close to him.

Bellamy sighs before he continues "She didn't mean it, she was just angry you killed her friend and then broke her arm,"

"I didn't break her arm," Murphy retorted quickly, glancing back to face my body on the floor.

"No, but she wouldn't have been there if it weren't for you!" Murphy shouts getting irritated by Murphy's response.

"Uh don't shout at me," Murphy warns with a smug grin on his face as he holds the gun closer to Bellamy.

"Look I'm sorry, please just let her go, she's already knocked out anyway," Bellamy persisted

"No,"

"Just let her go!"

*bang* a loud gunshot wrong off in my ears as a shell casing fell on top of me, Murphy shot the bloody walls right next to me. He could have killed me! Trying my best to play off my flinch I don't think Murphy noticed thankfully.

Suddenly Bellamy attitude changed, not wanting to get me hurt. "That's good. Then do what I say," Murphy says hinting the gun towards a rope next to him.
