Savage Love >> John Murphy

Chapter 9

For the past 2 hours we've been cooped up in the Ark station with the grounders, it was making me nervous.

"You let those people die, I will kill you," I heard a gruff voice and looked to see a Trikru member knock Johns cup from out of his hand, "Hey! Back off! That's enough! Ethan if you dare hurt him I will gut you," I hissed the last part and he looked at me and glared.

John and I were walking away when Ethan spoke up, "You'll end up just like your friend, and your baby will burn." My eyes widened and I turned but before I could lay a hand on him Murphy decked him.

I laughed and watched as Murphy kept laying into him, until Kane pulled him off, "Mr. Murphy! Amelia! You have cleaning duty for a week!" My eyes widened and was about to retort when Kane beat me to it "Should I make it two?" He cocked his brow and I rolled my eyes and grabbed Murphy's hand and took him to the bed bay
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Two days, it's been two days, we were currently mopping a floor together, "Fucking hate Kane. He should scrub a goats ass and then lick it!" The thing is I taught Murphy our language, so when he laughed I laughed too.

"Save your bullets for Mount Weather," Murphy rolled his eyes and then a cool voice that made me clench my fists was heard, "I'm guessing you don't like this either? Amelia, how far along?" I glared at him but kept mopping and drowned out his and johns conversation.

"Lia, we're going to the drop ship, you should come. Cals with Indra and I don't want you here alone." I smiled at him and nodded, not wanting to say a word in front of the murderous bastard.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Beautiful, isn't it," Jaha said with wonder, I rolled my eyes for the trillionth time today, "Shut up!" I spat and he turned and seemed shocked to hear me actually speak. Again I drowned out him and Murphy speaking.

As we approached the drop ship I went straight in as I felt quite exhausted, "Give me a break Ai, Laik," night had fallen and the nickname I gave my daughter. I sighed and closed my eyes to rest, not realising I would be spending the night.

I awoke to the sound of voices, "You are a good man John, and she seems to be the only person to see it. That child, it is yours correct?" He questioned and I rolled my eyes behind my eyelids, "Yes, she keeps saying it's not Skaikru...I just wish she could see that's hurting me. I want our daughter to be apart of both hers and my community," I frowned and felt guilt seep into my heart...

"Is that how you feel baby?" I questioned while sitting up, he saw the frown on my face and took me in his arms and I held him tightly, "She can be Skaikru and Trikru J, for you." He smiled and kissed my forehead.

I awoke the next day by John shaking me, "We're going to find the city of light, you're coming with me," I sprung up at that name, THE CITY OF LIGHT?!

I immediately got up and rush outside, regretting it as I felt tired already and stopped and caught my breath, "No way! One she's a grounder! And two! She's pregnant!" I glared and mumbled under my breath, "Go fuck a sheep you fucking asshole. I'm PREGNANT! Not fucking crippled!" He flinched and looked confused to why Murphy was pissing himself laughing.

"It every clans dream to one day see the city of light! We were told stories as children, what direction, what path is best. But most were told it was a myth, I was told it was a myth," I explained to John as we walked across the desert sand, I was hot and I felt really dehydrated. "I...I need a drink, J, do you have any water?" He smiled at me and pulled out his canteen.

I kept walking and was halted when Jaha saw a cart, "Maybe it has supplies?" Jaha suggested, I shrugged and kept walking down the hill with Murphy following after me. As I approached the cart I noticed a head and crept closer.

Suddenly a girl shot up, "Stop! Or I'll hurt you!" My eyes widened and I moved closer to the girl, "Hey, Hey, Hey. You're okay. Why are you out here," I asked quite calmly, she looked me in the eyes and saw the two different colours and glanced at her covered hand and I understood. Stain on the bloodline. I nodded.

"Do you speak English?" Jaha asked kindly, I zoned out her reason for why she was here and I knew that it was fake as she said her horse was stolen; there was no sign of a horses struggle.

"J, I don't trust her," he glanced down at me and saw the look of doubt in my eyes, "I trust her," he looked at Emori and I suddenly understood. He held a look of desire. "When you decide to keep it in your pants. Come find me," I huffed and walked faster, he tried calling for me but I had made up my mind.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

We had been walking three fucking hours, I had started to cramp slightly; "I- I need to stop, please." I asked politely but was answered by a rude Skaikru member, "I told you we're not waiting for a pregnant bitch, keep up," I turned and punched the dude.

He stumbled back and held up his fists, I grabbed my knife out of my holster and held it to his throat. We were at the back and no one would see us stop. "Never talk to me that way again, now," I sliced his cheek and he winced, "walk ahead so I know you won't harm me." He nodded and caught up with the others.

I noticed Emori and John lagging to make sure I'd fall into step with them, "You know, you can go in the cart," Emori suggested, I glared at the woman and walked ahead and felt the tears in my eyes once I heard her next words. "Geez, bet you're happy you aren't with her." He didn't tell her we were together.

"I am with her Emori, she's unhappy because she doesn't trust you. She thinks that I'm going to choose you because you're not pregnant. You have another thing coming," he paused and I could feel his eyes drilling into the back of my head, "I love her more than you'll ever know."
