The First On The Ground

Twilight's Last Gleaming

(Bellamy POV)

After Charlotte confessing that she killed Wells me, August, Clarke, Finn and Charlotte are in the main tent.

"Bring out the girl, Bellamy!" Murphy yells.

"Why, Charlotte?" August asks her as she bends down in front of her.

"I was just trying to slay my demons," Charlotte answers and August looks at me in shock.

"What the hell is she talking about?" Clarke asks.

"She misunderstood me. Charlotte, that is not what I meant," I say.

"Bring the girl out now!" Murphy yells.

"Please don't let them hurt me," Charlotte pleads looking between August and me. August pulls her into a hug.

"If you guys have any bright ideas, speak up. Now you stay quiet," I say as I turn to Clarke and Finn.

"Those are your boys out there," Finn states.

"This is not my fault. If she had listened to me, those idiots would still be building the wall," I remind them.

"You want to build a society, princess? Let's build a society. Bring her out," Murphy yells.

"No! Please, Bellamy, Bo," Charlotte says looking so scared.

"Charlotte, hey, it's gonna be ok," August tells her before looking to me. I could see the fear and worry in her eyes and it broke my heart.

"Just stay with them," I say before heading towards the entrance.

"Well, well, well. Look who decided to join us," Murphy says seeing August and me.

"Dial it down and back off," I order.

"Or what? What are you gonna do about me? Hang me?" Murphy questions me.

"I was just giving the people what they wanted," I answer.

"Yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea. Why don't we do that right now? So, who here wants to see the real murderer hung up? All in favor? I see. So, it's ok to string me up for nothing, but when this little bitch confesses, you all let her walk? Cowards! All of you are cowards!" Murphy yells at the crowd when only like four people raise their hands.

"Hey, Murphy! Murphy. It's over," I say turning to head back to the tent.

"Whatever you say, boss," Murphy says then I feel something hit me in the back of the head and I was out. About 30 minutes later I wake up to find Octavia running a damp rag over my face.

"Where's Charlotte?" I question her sitting up.

"Finn and Clarke took her somewhere," Octavia answers. I sit up and Octavia moves back. When she moves I see August laying down unconscious. I also see a deep cut down her cheek.

"What happened to her?" I say moving to August's side and running my hand through her hair.

"She went to fight Murphy after he hit you. He hit her with the same log he hit you with," Octavia answers.

"I have to find Charlotte before Murphy does and when I do I'm going to kill him," I say. I look back at August before leaving. Murphy is going to wish he never hit August. Even with the cut on her face, she is still beautiful.

I find Charlotte but we end up cornered on a cliff edge.
"Bellamy! You cannot fight all of us. Give her up," Murphy yells.

"Maybe not, but I guarantee I'll take a few of you with me," I say getting ready to fight. I August comes into the clearing and is near Murphy. Clarke and Finn then come out of the woods behind her.
