Murphamy

Chapter 19.

Murphy
He was just about to leave the stone he been sitting on for the past 30 minutes when someone covered his mouth and pulled him back so he landed on the ground behind the stone. He couldn't see who it was because the person sat right behind Murphy. Still with his hand on Murphy's mouth and the other hand around his chest. Murphy started to panic and he tried to get lose but the hand reminded in a strong grip.
"Quiet, they will hear you!" It was a the voice of a older boy, and he immediately recognized it. Murphy turned still and turned his head a bit just so he could confirm that the voice belonged to the person he think it did. And when he turned around he saw the greenest eyes he had ever seen and a chill went up through his body.

"Nice to see you to." The boy smiled when he saw how Murphy looked at him. But Murphy couldn't say anything because his mouth was still covered.
"Oh right, you can't answer me. I'm going to remove my hands, but you have to promise not to run and scream. Because then they will get you." Argon lifted Murphy's head up so he could see the grounders sneak amongst the forest, their was on their way to the camp. Murphy nodded at the boys words and Argon let go of him.
"Why did you pull me back?" Murphy asked with a angry tone in his voice.
"Such a good mood you are in." He said ironic.
"I just saved your life again, so you should thanks me instead of being all grumpy."
"I'm not grumpy. And you didn't save my life again, I could have beaten them if they had tried anything." Murphy said irritated at the boy self-image.
"See, you are grumpy. It was much more cosily when I held you, because then you at least were quiet."
"And you can't fight all of them, you are not that good." He smiled. Murphy didn't recognize Argon, he was not the boy that he meet in the forest 3 months earlier. This one was much more kinder.
"How to you know?" Murphy looked chocked at Argon.
"Because I been watching you in the past 3 months."
"You have what?" Murphy looked confused.
"I have been watching you, when you practice with Lincoln."
"How to you know his name?"
"I used to know him, when I was younger."
Murphy was so confused that he didn't know what to do or what to say.
"You don't have to understand everything right now." The boy then said and smiled before standing up.
"They have past now." He said and stretched out his hand for Murphy to take, but Murphy didn't take it. He was still suspicious if he could trust the boy or not.
"Im going now, and I would appreciate if you stop watching me." Murphy said and started heading to the direction he come from.
"Where you going?" Argon asked.
"To the camp, I have to help them."
"You can't."
"They will get killed if I just stand by and watch."
"They won't!" Argon said and Murphy turned around to see how the boy come closer.
"How to you know?"
"Because it is my order not to kill them."
"But way are they going to the camp then?"
"They aren't, they are going to the mountain."
"I'm not following." Murphy said and looked at the boy that stood in front of him.
"Because.." Argon looked down, like he was ashamed.
"Because of what?"
"We are making a deal with the mountain people. They will not kill us if we take the kids to the mountain. But the deal isn't closed yet so we have to talk to their head leader, and that is were we going."
"And what will they do to the kids?"
"I'm not sure, but they are bad people."
"More bad then you?"
"Yes, more bad than us."
"Not likely."
"You have to believe me." Argon said and reached out for Murphy's arm. He could feel the boys strength when he took a grip on it, it was not painful but Murphy could understand that the boy was serious.
