The Other Griffin ✯ Bellamy Blake

7- Charlotte, Why?

Bellamy and I walked out of the meeting tent to see that Clarke had already started confronting John. Clarke had just taken the knife out and was holding out of his reach.

"Where you dropped it after you killed Wells." Clarke said with pain evident in her voice.

Murphy looked just as confused as everyone else, "Where I what?" He asked while looking slightly nervous. "The grounders killed Wells, not me." By this point, everyone had circled around us and was watching with curiosity. I looked around in hopes of finding Charlotte. After scanning the crowd quickly, I was able to find her. I gave her a reassuring nod, her doing the same to me.

"I know what you did, and your gonna pay for it." Clarke started to walk closer to John's face. I needed to step in and stop a war from happening. I started to walk away from Bellamy and Octavia and had only gotten a few steps when I was pulled back into a hard chest.

"Do not step in between them. You can get hurt." Bellamy whispered dangerously close to my ear. I started to become red and prayed that nobody noticed. The only thing I could do was look to the ground and surround my face with my hair.

"Really? Bellamy, you really believe this crap? Jordan, what about you?" John said looking at us, which caused everyone to look at us.

What Bellamy said next surprised me, but also made me smile a little too, "Keep Jordan out of this, Murphy." That was the only thing he said before he went back to his stone cold expression.

Murphy turned his attention back to Clarke once he realized Bellamy and I weren't going to say anything.

"You threatened to kill him. We all heard you. You hated Wells." Clarke said getting in his face spewing venom in the words when she spit them.

"Plenty of people hated Wells. His father was the Chancellor that locked us up." He said trying to reason with Clarke, but at this point, Clarke was not giving up.

"Just because you hate someone doesn't mean you should kill them. I hated plenty of guards on the Ark, you of all people should know that, but I didn't go around strangling them. You also got in a knife fight with him." I spoke up glaring at Murphy because of the way he spoke of my best friend. Dead or alive, he was still my best friend.

"Yeah, I didn't kill him then, either." Bellamy had started to grip my waist a little tighter than he was holding me before. I looked up at him and he shook his head as if saying 'Stop talking before you get yourself killed.'

"Tried to kill Jasper, too." Octavia stated beside me. I straightened up a bit, my eyes going wide at what she said. People started to whisper around us and people were starting to lose faith in Murphy being innocent. John noticed this.

"Come on. This is ridiculous." He said backing away from Clarke as if she were going to slit his throat right then and there. "I don't have to answer to you. I don't have to answer to anyone!" I shook my head at him. He was digging himself in a deeper hole.

"Come again?" Bellamy said while finally letting go of me and crossing is arms. Is it bad to say that I missed his touch already?

Murphy was practically kissing Bellamy's shoes for forgiveness. "Bellamy, look, i'm telling you, man. I didn't do this." Murphy walked away from Clarke and towards the two Blakes and I. Bellamy grabbing hold of my arm again.

"They found his fingers on the ground with your knife." Bellamy said shaking his head almost is disapproval at what was happening with Murphy.

Clarke spoke up again and started one of her infamous speeches. "Is this the kind of society that we want? You say there should be no rules, does that mean we can kill each other without-- without punishment?" She was spinning in circles so she was able to see everyone faces.
