The Survivor

The Ark

(Narrator POV)
The screen showed the ringing symbol and soon enough turned green to show that someone answered. Jaha, Kane and Abby were all sat at a table and they seemed surprised to see Murphy there.

Abby knew Murphy because he was always going to medical and Kane and Jaha knew him because he went to the sky box. Obviously they also knew him because he was one of the 100.

"John Murphy? They said that you died." Abby spoke first in a motherly tone that sent a weird chill down Murphy's spine making him very uncomfortable.

"Yes, that's because they thought I was dead. Long story short, I was tortured by grounders and then turned into a legendary warrior with superpowers." Murphy smirked when he saw Kane open his mouth to call the boy out on his 'lie' but all that came out was a gasp when Murphy snapped his fingers and made a flame to prove it.

He explained everything to them and eventually got to the point of why he was the one telling them.

"Wait, you are going to decide who from the Ark lives or dies." Kane asked in complete disbelief.

"Exactly and saying 'you' like it's so amazing that I'm worthy is not helping your case. Either I deicide who comes down or nobody, but Abby and Sinclair come down." Murphy said as he kept his head high. He could tell that they were surprised with his confidence and calmness.

"Me? Why me?" Abby questioned with a furrowed brow. She could see why Sinclair would be wanted since he was one of the best engineers. She understood that she was a doctor, but she knew that Clarke knew some things about medicine and from what she gathered, Murphy wasn't half bad with it either.

"Because Raven seems to care about you so here we are." Murphy said calmly. When he received more questioning glances, he elaborated. "We're dating." He couldn't help but laugh a bit at the shocked look on their faces. 

After a few more minutes of discussing his romantic life with Abby while Kane and Jaha tried not to fall asleep, they got back to business and eventually a deal was compiled.

The people that Murphy chose would come down to Earth along with the supplies he selected, Bellamy would remain King no matter what, the Sky Council members would not change without every current members vote, Murphy would protect them as long as they followed the guidelines that were already agreed upon in the alliance and finally if they broke any of these rules then Murphy would bring the new landers a war they couldn't compete with.

The people he let down: Bryan (Miller's boyfriend), Abby, Jaha, Kane, Mr. Miller, Jackson, Sinclair, all of the 100's parents, all of lower class, all civilians, all the farmers, all of the doctors, a few guards, most of middle class, a couple higher class people and a few others. All in all it ended up being about 300 out of the remaining 346.

They had been slowly weeding people out for the last week to conserve some oxygen so there were way fewer people left than there had been when the 100 landed.

The new people landed and followed all of Murphy's rules to a T. The first thing he had said to all of them was "I told you that I'd survive." Because he really did tell them but nobody thought that it was true.

More time passed and the town of Arkadia grew a bit more. It had been 3 months now since the first day that the walk began. Buildings were growing, villages were being started and it was fairly peaceful so far.

One night, Raven and Murphy were sitting next to each other outside of the gate, watching as the glowing butterflies fluttered by. The butterflies weren't supposed to be in this part of the woods but they were anyway. Some rules were made to be broken.

Murphy was watching the butterflies pass and he hadn't even noticed that he was smiling. One of the delicate creatures landed on his hand and reflected up into his hair which made his piercing blue eyes shine like the ocean.

"I love you." Raven said as she glanced at him before looking up to the stars. They'd never said that before and she knew that Murphy wasn't fond of the word but she knew that she meant it. Besides, one day he would purpose so no matter what, she wanted to be the first to say the L word.

"I love you too." He replied and she was surprised at how little weariness she heard. He sounded sure and he didn't seem to regret saying it either. He knew as well as she did that they were in love since day one anyways.

The rest of the night was mostly silent because they didn't need words. They shared smiles, a few words and some cuddling. That was all they needed.

More time passed and they ended up legally adopting Aspen so that there was no way anyone could take her from her parents. Then they left for the Glowing Forest and got there rather quickly.

They moved Nightmare the horse and Squirrel the horse into the barn in the back yard and they got Glimmer the cat all settled in. Aspen got to decorate her room and they remodeled a bit.

A year passed and it was all perfect. They gave Raven the shot to expose her powers and she got metals, Earth, plants, agility and super senses. The little family always visited Arkadia and vice versa.

One night Dawn babysat Aspen while Murphy and Raven went on a date. He had it planned to perfection since it was their one year anniversary. A few weeks back they had celebrated the anniversary of when the walk began and they all met the Survivor, but this was just theirs.

He brought her to a beautiful meadow that night with a small pond in the corner. Fireflies were floating around everywhere and the ground had thousands of white flowers growing. They walked into the meadow and music began to play, You Are The Reason by Calum Scott. That had been the song she sang to get him back from the siren song a year ago.

They danced all around the field and as the song ended, they slowed to a stop. Murphy got down on one knee and pulled out a light blue ring box. Raven covered her mouth with her hand in shock as tears welled up. He opened the box to reveal a beautiful ring with a a silver band and an amethyst.

"Raven Reyes, since the day I met you I knew that you were going to be the most important person to me. You're a genius and you're absolutely hilarious. Not to mention drop dead gorgeous." He chuckled lightly with a smile. "I would be honored to call you my wife so will you make me the happiest man to ever live and marry me?" He asked with a smile.

"Yes!" She shouted as she hugged him. He put the ring on her finger and they kissed happily while a few tears slipped down.

They were the happiest people ever and they knew it. Now they were gonna be married as well and they would be lying if they said they weren't super stoked.

The rest of the night tears were shed and kisses were shared. The wedding would be soon and that would truly prove if they were soulmates or not.

Soulmates or not, they were meant to be.

A/N Sorry, it's kind of boring but I'm sort of excited to finish so I keep rushing.

Only a few more chapters.

Enjoy and keep reading.
