Something Unexpected

Chapter 8

     Clarke guided Murphy through the grounder village of Tondc. Lexa was in front of them, glaring at anyone who dared say anything or stop working. Villagers stared at them, silently doing their jobs as they did.

     Lexa suddenly stopped once she was in the center of Tondc. She propped herself up on a small wooden stool and everyone focused their attention on her.

     "Kru gon Tondc, geda en listen well. Klark en Mofi gon the Skaikru, en anyone kom the Skai Crew, gon bilaik matter, laik kom be unharmed. Anyone chon goes out gon their way kom injure o kill em shall be executed. Ai hope ai laik understood. Bilaik ste hogeda. Carry ona kom your duties. "

     People of Tondc, gather and listen well. Clarke and Murphy of the Sky People, and anyone from the Sky Crew, for that matter, are to be unharmed. Anyone who goes out of their way to injure or kill them shall be executed. I hope I am understood. That is all. Carry on with your duties.

     Just seconds later, they reached the edge of Tondc.

     "I must leave you here. You know your way back. Goodbye, Clarke and Murphy of the Sky People."

     Clarke looked at Lexa. "Thank you, Lexa. For everything."

     Lexa nodded, trying not to crack a smile. Clarke had to do the same.

     And with that, they were even closer to getting back to Camp Jaha.

     Before Murphy had to do anything drastic, Clarke decided to stop for the day and check him for injuries. Luckily, the bunker they had found when they first came to Earth wasn't far from where they were.

     Once they were there, they climbed down the ladder and plopped onto the couch after checking to make sure the entrance was shut tightly and lighting a few candles so they could see.

     Clarke leaned forward, sighing heavily. "Take off your shirt."

     Murphy knew she just wanted to see if he was okay, but why not have a little fun with it? "Okay. But I must say, I didn't know you felt this way about me, princess." He smirked devilishly at her.

     Clarke glared at him. She was used to Murphy's teasing by now.

     Murphy saw right through her act, though. She was obviously flustered; She was blushing the color the candle in the corner of the room gave off. Bright red.
