The Survivor

Nothing You Can Do

(Narrator POV)
They were walking in the woods after packing up camp. Murphy and Raven were walking together, like most couples were. They hadn't actually told anyone, but it was pretty obvious that they were together.

Here's the thing, Murphy has some weaknesses. A lot actually. He's just good at avoiding them, hiding them and ignoring them. He doesn't want Raven to be used against him because truthfully, she's one of his weaknesses. He's not about to ignore or avoid her, so he settled for sort of hiding her and protecting her. He cares about her and he knows that an enemy would gladly use that to their advantage. So no, he hasn't made a huge deal about getting the girl of his dreams, even though he's ecstatic. He's made sure that Raven knew this, and knew how much she actually means to him.

She understands and agrees that making a big deal to the others about their relationship is unnecessary. They both know how they feel and that's all that matters. Besides, neither of them have ever loved making things super public. She's just happy that they're together and he feels the same. They don't need everyone else to know all about it.

As they were walking, Raven and Murphy had started playing a game of two truths and a lie to get to know each other better.

"Okay, my turn. One time I accidentally set the Ark on fire. Once I got chased by Abby because she thought I was Clarke. And one time I decked Bellamy just cause I felt like it." Said Murphy with a grin.

"Oh no! Those all sound like something  that would happen to you." She laughed. "I think the first one is a lie." She looked at him with a smile. She was almost certain she was right.

"God, you're too good at this. Yes, you're right. I thought the Clarke one would get you." He chuckled and shook his head with a smile.

"Nah, my powers are too great to foil." She snickered. "Anyways, my turn. One time I punched Finn in the face. I was the one to take that illegal space walk, not Finn. Once, I told Kane that I'd smack him in the head with my wrench, even if I got floated." She grinned.

"I'm gonna say that the first one's the lie." He smiled. He knew that she'd slapped him and kicked him, but he never heard a thing about punching Finn.

"Darn, you got me!" She groaned. She thought she'd trick him with the spacewalk thing.

They kept playing for a while and learned a bunch of random little things about each other. For example, one time Murphy jumped off the top of the drop-ship and landed in a tree, and Raven once sat a recording of a cricket in Kanes office with a hidden camera to watch him lose his mind while trying to find it.

They kept walking onward and most people were tired. Murphy stopped when he heard a clicking noise. See, Murphy knows that sound because it's another one of the joys of Delphi. They looked like half lizard, half human creatures that were truly disgusting and terrifying. The funny thing is, they were neither human nor lizard. Nobody knew what they were, everyone just knew that they were gross.

They stood on two feet, but were hunched over and would often go onto all fours. They were covered in scales that varied in color, most of them were blue, grey or green. They had long, sharp claws and teeth that could dig through bone. The beasts were covered in slime and drool, and had venom dripping from their teeth and nails. They didn't have a tail, and oddly enough they wore tattered black pants and shirts. Their heads were like the lizards called Komodo dragons. They could be up to 8 feet tall too, which was quite intimidating. They traveled in packs and growled at each other in form of communication.

Some people thought that maybe they were people who stayed on Earth and didn't die from radiation, just got changed by it. Long story short, they're scary.
