Savage Love >> John Murphy

Chapter 2

As I lay there in Murphy's lap, I watched him look around in fear, he must of done something really bad to not want to be with his own people, I thought to myself, "Hey, J?" I asked, he looked at me in shocked. I smiled, I didn't like calling him Murphy and he didn't like the name John. "What did you do? To you know, not want to be with your own people?" He tensed up and then smiled down at me. It was a sweet smiled, "I got blamed for a crime I didn't commit, I got banished after the guilty threw herself off a cliff, and to answer you second question....you are my people Lia," I was shocked, I had never belonged, maybe with Murphy....it would be different.

Suddenly I got the urge to vomit, I sat up abruptly and lurched over the side, vomiting up my own blood. Murphy seemed to have the same symptoms and did the exact same, "H-help!" I called out, then Clarke came rushing into their 'drop ship' and looked sick at the sight. "Clarke! What's going on?!" Bellamy rushed in and asked hurriedly, I started coughing, falling onto my back, Clarke ran and put me on my side. I teared up and called out my brothers name "Lincoln! I want my brother! Lincoln!" I screamed, I started to sob, again coughing up my own blood. "Calm down!" She tried stroking my arm but I scurried away from her and towards Murphy "Murphy, tell her to stay calm," I heard her say, I wasn't going to listen, I wanted my brother.

I then felt soft hands pull me to their chest, and I felt lips on my forehead "Shhh, calm down, Lia, you need to stay calm okay?" I nodded slightly, feeling the lips on top of my head once again. I could feel myself going into the dark and luring trap of sleep. "I want *yawn* Lincoln.." I then fell asleep.

Murphy's POV-
I cant believe that actually worked, I had only just met her a day ago. "You like her, don't you?" Bellamy asked from above me, I looked up to see his gaze soften, why would he care. He hated me. "Why do you care? You hate me. And probably her," I said, getting rather angry, he looked at me and his eyes hardened, when he looked back to her they softened, "I don't hate her, she's done nothing wrong. She's a lot like Octavia actually," he said, I rolled my eyes, he needed to back off "Get your own, she's mine." I finally said.

Amelia's POV-
"Get your own, she's mine." I smiled and curled closer into him, he seemed to notice as he pulled me closer. I awoke to a sickening feeling in my throat, I started coughing like crazy, blood slowly looking down my face with my tears. I was then forced on my side by Murphy, he was slamming his hand on my back, I could finally breath. I drew in a large breath. "T-thanks, J." I said, he nodded and pulled me closer to him, "Don't scare me like that again!" I laughed and nodded slightly, he chuckled and kissed my forehead once more.

Again, I woke up and saw that Murphy wasn't there, I looked up to see him helping Clarke by getting out of a hammock, I finally caught his eye and I blushed and got up. I saw someone cough and I helped them. They tried to get away from me, "Hey, hey. I promise I won't hurt you." I said quite sternly, the sky girl nodded and let me help her. I smiled at her, "Whats your name?" I asked, curiosity sparking inside me, she looked up and smiled "Layla," I smiled and stroked her hair, I looked towards her kindly, "My mother's name was Layla," she smiled brighter and nodded. I took her silence as a sign to leave.

I walked over to Murphy, eyeing the boy he had just helped. I didn't like him, Murphy said his name was Conner, he helped string up J by the neck. I glared at the boy and he visibly flinched, "I'm gonna kill him," I whispered, Murphy looked at me through the corner of his eye and smirked, "Same here, love." I laughed and cuddled into his side.

About three hours later, a girl was brought in. They put her in a hammock and I was curious to what was going on, earlier Bellamy cane in with Octavia sick, I got up from my position and over to the sky people, "Raven, this is Amelia, she's on our side." Raven nodded, I then saw her glance at me before saying: "I blew up the bridge, the grounders should be held off for a while," my eyes widened, my aunt was on that bridge to attack them. She approached me while I was locked up, "YOU WHAT?!" Everyone looked at me, I screamed and fell to my knees, I cried really hard, "MY AUNT WAS THERE! THERE WERE SECONDS ON THAT BRIDGE!! CHILDREN!" I screamed and sobbed harder, Murphy went to help me but I shrugged him off, "You and your people are insane!" I ran out of the drop ship.

People tried to stop my escape, but were prevailed by my agility. I ran out and as fast as I could, I ran to the bridge. I can't believe I helped those murderers. As I approached the bridge I saw her, Anya, holding a small child. I saw the girls face, it was Lanna. I ran as fast as I could to reach my cousin, as soon as I got there my aunt was laying next to Anya dead.

"No, no, no," I whimpered, I could feel the tears running down my face, "A-Anya, what hap-pened," my voice cracked at the end a pon seeing everything so fucked up. "Where's Lincoln? Why isn't here mourning?" I asked hurriedly, she looked up at me, she looked broken in that moment, "He helped the sky people with the peace treaty. He probably condoned the attack on us. My heart shattered and I fell to my knees, he was a traitor, aunty was dead because of him.

"I'll join you. I want to join you Anya, I want them all dead!" I yelled at the end, I saw her smiled and she reached her hand out. I took and it and crawled next to her, I took my little cousin in my arms, she was breathing but barely, "Skaikru." I said, she looked at me curiously, I looked at her with an evil but determined look in my face, a broken look, "There is a sky girl who is a healer, I've seen her do it, she will never be alone. But we can say that if she doesn't help we will kill her friend. And after we kill them both anyway," I said rather quickly, Anya could see the broken look in my eyes, the snap, she had helped me snap. She knew that, she was scared of what I was capable of, she trained me. I was a better fighter than her, than the commander I'm sure.

She nodded and we took her to a healers shelter, I was there stroking Lanna's hair, she was just 14. I'm going to kill them all. And Raven will die by my hands first.
