Special Case of Kane

17

"Alright Murphy, where to now?" I ask, my sword swinging in my left hand....Which is closer to Murphy.

"I say we lose these first." He says, referring to his handcuffs.

"No." Bellamy says.

"Hold your arms out." I say when he wines about not being able to defend himself, he obeys. "Now, hold your head back and close your eyes. Just. Trust me not to kill you.,.. I don't want to."

I rise my sword up and I hit my sword on his handcuffs, the chain brains and he gets them off.

"Thanks." Murphy says. "For that and for not killing me."

I put my sword away.

"What are you doing?" Bellamy asks.

"It was my idea to bring him." I shrug. "He knows where we are gong, and should be able to defend himself. I can handle Murphy.... I think he is scared of me."

"I hope so." Bellamy says.

"So.... Do I get a gun now?" Murphy asks and I just walk away.

****

"Everybody down, now!" Murphy says as he pulls Bellamy down, I get down on the other side of Murphy. "This is it. Told you I'd find it."

"I see nothing but grounders." Bellamy says.

I see Finn take Murphy's gun.

"Our people aren't here." Bellamy adds.

"They've got our stuff from the dropship." I say as we walk through the grounder village.

"Maybe they know where our friends are." Bellamy says.

"Yeah or maybe they killed them already."

I yank out my sword and point it at him. "Watch it."

"Sorry." Murphy mumbles.

"Sone of a bitch." Finn growls.

"What?" I ask as I keep my sword in hand as a precaution.

"The guy with one eye, around his neck." Finn points out.

We see a one eyed grounder with a watch around his neck.

"What am I looking at?" Bellamy asks.

"He's got Clarke's watch." Finn says.

"It was her father's." I add with a sad sigh.

"She wouldn't give that up withput a fight." Bellamy says.

"Neither will we." Finn repliesl.

"Okay, you and Skyla are with me." Bellamy says. "You two stay here. This thing goes south, take out the other grounders but don't shoot the grounder with the watch. Copy?"

"Copy." Sterling replies.

"Copy." Monroe says. "And what about Murphy?"

"Yeah, do I get a gun now?" Murphy asks.

"Something like that."

I knock out the one eyed grounder with the handle of my sword as Murphy baits him. Finn grabs the watch from around his neck,

"We need to get him somewhere quiet." I state, Bellamy likes letting me take the lead some.

"I know just the place." Finn comments.

***

"Take control, babe." Bellamy says.

"Were gonna do this again and again, and this time you're gonna stop screwing with us." I demand, the grounder has noticed my small stomach where I am with child. "Where did you find this?" I show him the watch.

"I told you, I found it outside your camp." The grounder says.

"He's lying." Finn demands. "She would never take it off voluntarily."

"I know." I reply.

"Where is the girl who was wearing this watch?" Finn asks with anger in his tone.

"Another lie." Murphy says, he notices the sword in my hand. "Maybe you should stop asking so nicely."

"Shut up, Murphy." I snap. "What's your name?"

"Delano." The grounder replies.

"Delano, where are our friends?" I ask. "You took them, we know you did. Just tell us where.:

"Murphy's right." Finn says. "We're waiting our time/." He begins beaning Delano. "Where's Clarke!? Where is she!?"

"Finn, stop!" I demand. "We don't want tp this, trust me. There are some likes you cannot uncross."

Finn aims his gun at me.

I pull my sword out and poke the tip to his chin. "Drop the knife, Collins."

"Ok, ok! I'll tell you where your friends are! Stop pointing the gun at the one with child." Delano yells suddenly. "Your friends are ear of here, the village where we take our prisoners of war."

Finn hesitantly lowers his gun and I back into Bellamy's arms. "East, where? How do we get to them?"

"I can draw you a map." Delano claims. "You should hurry. Soon they'll outlive their usefulness."

"Get him something to draw a map."

*****

"Gather up the gear." I instruct as I look over the map. "We're leaving."

"What about him, Queen?" Sterling asks.

"We leave him." I reply simply. "Deal with him when we're done."

"And what if he escapes?" Murphy asks. "He knows exactly where we're going."

"We're NOT killing him!" I snap loudly.

"I don't really see another option." Murphy claims. "If we don't care of this now, it'll blow back on us and you know that, Skyla."

"He's unarmed, Murphy." I point out.

"He's a grounder." Murphy protests. "Really, come one! Tell her."

"I don't know." Monroe states as she presses against me.

"You don't know what?" Murphy exclaims. "He's gonna tell his people everything, we're as good as dead. Our friends, too."

"We're not doing this." I say calmly. "End of discussion. You want him, come through me." I pull out my sword.

"You act like you've never killed a grounder before." Murphy scoffs. "What happened to you?"

"That was in battle." I remind him. "This would be an execution...."

I am interrupted by a gunshot. Finn shot Delano in the head.

"Let's get moving." Finn says.

I grip on my sword, not trusting Finn at the moment, and we leave.
