Monroe
Had shook
Her head,
When I'd asked
Her what
Happened.
The only
Thing I
Really
Got out of her,
Was that Spacewalker
Had been
A bit upset
When he couldn't find
Clarke.
She'd been
Here,
Brought by
Bellamy,
While he'd still
Been
Out.
She wouldn't
Say anything else.
"Ask Murphy."
Monroe
Suggested,
After I gave
Her
One of my signature
Eye rolls.
"I will."
But that
Was a lie.
John Murphy;
I knew
What he'd done.
Bellamy
Had told me.
They hated
Each other.
It was noon,
And I was sure
No one would
Catch me
Sneaking away.
But right
As I
Touched the fence,
A shock
Spread through
My fingers,
And I
Jumped back.
What the
Hell?
I examined
The fence
Closely,
My eyes
Narrowing.
"Looks like
Trikru
Finally
Figured it
Out."
Someone
Said,
From behind me.
I turned
To see
That same
Girl
Who had
Planted the bomb.
Raven.
I blinked,
Then nodded
Back
To the fence.
"What is
That?"
I asked,
Slowly
Reaching
For my knife.
She had a limp.
I could
Take her out,
If she tried
Anything.
Raven saw,
And rolled her eyes.
"Relax.
It's electrified.
Why?
You gonna sneak
Back
To your Grounder
Buddies?"
She asked,
Harshly.
I met her gaze,
And saw
Nothing
But pain.
"Did I
Do something?"
I asked,
Matching
Her glare.
Raven stared
Me down
For a few seconds.
Well,
At least she
Tried to.
"No."
She spat finally,
Before limping away.
And if I wasn't
Confused
Before,
I sure was
Now.
