Sunshine

Banished

I couldn't believe that Wells was dead. It was like some horrible nightmare that I couldn't wake up from, he was one of my closest friends.

Everybody was standing around watching as his body was lowered into the ground. I don't think Clarke has even stopped crying ever since she found him this morning.

People are saying that it was Grounders that did it, during the night when everyone was asleep and Wells was on watch duty.

I looked over at Clarke in sympathy, I know that her and Wells were best friends, and I could tell that it broke her heart, when they had just made up.

"Clarke, I'm so sorry." I walked up to her and Finn.

"I don't want your pity." She glared at me.

"It's not pity, Wells was my friend too, I just want you to know that I understand what you're going through."

"You don't though. You got Jasper back, my best friend is still dead." She spit out.

"Hey, she's just trying to be nice." Finn touched Clarke's shoulder.

"Clarke, I don't know what I did for you to hate me but whatever it is I'm sorry.

"Of course you are." She laughed humorlessly.

"Hey, princess." Octavia got in Clarke's face. "If you haven't noticed you're not the only one who lost a friend today."

"Octavia, don't." I tried to pull her back.

"What?" She snapped. "She needs to stop acting like she's better than everyone else."

"I don't act like I'm better than everybody else. Just Angel." She stepped towards me. "You put on this innocent, 'goody two shoes' act but I see right through you."

"That's enough." Bellamy stepped in front of me and Clarke trying to get her to back up.

"Whatever." She huffed, and we all watched as she walked off.

"How can you just let her talk to you like that?" Octavia asked, still angry.

"She just lost her friend, she's hurting." I shrugged.

"Speaking of that. There's something that I think you guys need to see." Bellamy said before turning and walking to Wells old tent. I followed hesitantly not sure what was happening.

I looked at the table and shuddered when I saw what was on it. 3 fingers and a bloody knife, I recognized the knife immediately and my heart dropped in my chest.

"We found this near the spot Wells was killed." Bellamy stated.

"What's going on?" Clarke walked in and paused when she saw what we were all looking at this.

"There's a murderer in the camp?" Finns eyebrows were furrowed.

Clarke picked up the knife. "They deserve to know who killed Wells."

"Clarke, wait we don't know how they'll react." Bellamy went to grab her arm.

"I'm not just going to sit back and let him get away with this."

"I know Murphy, he might be a jerk but he wouldn't kill someone." I said meekly, I felt sick to my stomach, it all was happening so fast.

"Why are you protecting him, I thought Wells was your friend?" Clarke turned on me.

"He was, but so is Murphy, and I'm telling you that he isn't a murderer."

"All the proof says other wise." She stormed out to alert everybody else, all of us following close.
