After Bellamy woke up, we went looking for Charlotte in the forest. Octavia insisted on coming and I agreed but Bellamy was completely against it and surprisingly convinved her to stay. She told me to be careful and that she'd be waiting back at camp and I know she hopes Charlotte will be ok too. To be honest, I'm surprised Bellamy didn't order me to stay back seen as though he's always trying to keep me out of trouble. I guess it's because he knows how close I am with Charlotte and that it's a battle he'll never win.
It has turned night now and Bellamy and I haven't spoken at all, both of us overcome with worry for Charlotte's current wellbeing. I just pray that Murphy hasn't found her because if he does and tries to kill her I will torture him to death - and that is not an over exaggeration.
Suddenly we hear someone running through the forest ahead of us. Bellamy turns to me and I nod before he runs towards them and grabs onto whoever it was. I hear a high pitched scream and instantly know it's Charlotte. I run down to where they are and watch speechlessly. "Let me go!" She cries, trying to pull away from Bellamy. He let's her go and she acknowledges my presence.
"I'm not your sister! Just stop, it's me they want." She cries and I look at them tearfully as one of the people I care about refuses our help.
"I'm over here!" Charlotte screams at the top of her voice and begins to run before I grab onto her, my strength stopping her. "Are you trying to get us killed?" Bellamy whispers harshly.
Charlotte looks at me tearfully. "Just go Ariel." she says to me but I shake my head. "No. No, I am not leaving you to die."
"Please, Ariel. I'm sorry." She says and fights my now looser grip and runs but Bellamy grabs her, picks her up and throws her over his shoulder, allowing me to actually breathe. "Aaah! Murphy, I'm over here!" She screams and Bellamy and I look at eachother, nodding before running off into the woods trying to loose Murphy, who will already be onto us.
We reach a cliff and I instantly know we're done for as I hear Murphy screaming at us and flames behind the leaves. Bellamy puts Charlotte down as we look down the cliff. If anyone falls down there, I can guarantee they won't survive - so at the moment I really want to push Murphy down there.
"Bellamy!" We hear and turn around to see Murphy and his gang of bandits holding torches. "You can't fight all of us. Give it up." He says.
I walk forwards towards him, infront of Charlotte. "I would personally rather slit my throat."
"Ok." Murphy says and I furrow my eyebrows at his quite weird reply. Only, suddenly, he grabs onto me, turning me around and holding a knife to my throat. Shoot, I think to myself. Clarke and Finn then appear from the bushes and I feel so defenceless. I could try to get him off of me but I would rather not or he would actually slit my throat. Or stab me. Either one I'm not so good with. Hell, I know that even if we give Charlotte up he will kill me so therefore no point in him doing this.
