"Bring out the girl Bellamy" Murphy shouts from outside the tent while Bellamy, Clarke, Finn, Charlotte and I come up with an idea on how to help Charlotte because Murphy wants her to suffer just like he did. I may not like her for what she's don't but she's a little girl.

"Why Charlotte?" Bellamy asks Charlotte "I was just trying to slay my demons, like you told me" Charlotte answers panicking

"What the hell is she talking about?" Clarke asks
"She misunderstood me. Charlotte, that is not what I meant"

"Bring the girl out now!" Murphy shouts

"Please don't let them hurt me" Charlotte pleads looking at Bellamy and I

"If you guys have any bright ideas, speak up" Bellamy says and Clarke, Finn and I all look at each other not knowing what to say "Now you stay quiet" Bellamy says to us "Those are your boys out there" Clarke says to him "This is not my fault. If she had listened to me, those idiots would still be building the wall" Bellamy says in defence

"You want to build a society, princess? Let's build a society. Bring her out." Murphy yells again

"No! Please, Bellamy, Sophie" Charlotte pleads
"
Charlotte, hey, it's gonna be okay. Just stay with them. Sophie come with me" he says and I nod my head and follow him out the tent

"Well, well, well. Look who decided to join us" Murphy says

"Dial it down and back off" Bellamy says

"Murphy just back off" I tell him

"Or what? What are you gonna do about me? Hang me?" Murphy says

"I was just giving the people what they wanted" Bellamy says

"Yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea. Why don't we do that right now? So, who here wants to see the real murderer hung up? All in favor??" Murphy yells and about four boys raise their hands while the rest of the group stands there silently

"I see. So, it's okay to string me up for nothing, but when this little bitch confesses, you all let her walk? Cowards! All of you are cowards!" Murphy yells to the people who didn't raise their hands

"Hey, Murphy! Murphy. It's over" Bellamy says turning to walk away "

Whatever you say, boss" Murphy says and picks up a log and smashes it into the back of Bellamy's head, knocking him out

"Son of a bitch!" I yell running at Murphy but I get hit in the head with the same log. I fall down feeling extremely dizzy. I then feel my body being lifted up and thrown over someone's shoulder before everything goes black.

*****

I open my eyes and feel a sudden pain in my head and wince I see that I'm being carried on someone's shoulder. I begin to punch whoever's shoulder I'm on "she's awake"I hear a voice say

"Put me down" I yell and they do so I go to run away but they grab me, I look to see who it is and I'm met with John Mbege. "Tie her up" a familiar voice orders Murphy.

John then ties my hands behind my back "let me go!" I scream and Murphy comes up to me and ties a rag behind my head and shoves I'm in my mouth I try to scream but all that comes out is muffled noises.

I then feel arms pushing me forward and I feel a sharp pain in my back knowing that Murphy is pointing a knife in my back to keep me moving.

"You can't hide forever Charlotte" Murphy yells.

"Murphy I'm over here" Charlotte yells. No godamit. Murphy begins to follow where Charlottes voice came from still holding the knife in my back.

I see Bellamy and Charlotte corned on the edge of a cliff.

"Let her go" Bellamy tells Murphy and Murphy pushes me on the ground but I'm unable to catch myself because my hands are stuck behind my back.

"Wanna untie me" I tell Murphy with a straight face even though most of it you can't understand. Murphy walks forward and unties my arms then kicks me closer to Bellamy and I grunt when I hit the ground. I pull the gag out of my mouth and stand up next to Bellamy.

"You alright?" Bellamy asks and I nod my head.

"You can't fight all of us, give her up" Murphy says to Bellamy.

"Maybe not, but I guarantee I'll take a few of you with me" Bellamy says

I begin to walk closer to Murphy "
Stop! This has gone too far. Just calm down. We'll talk about this" I tell Murphy but before I know it murphy has a knife to my throat. Then Clarke and Finn come running out of the bushes but stop when they see Murphy with a knife to my throat.

"I'm sick of listening to you talk" Murphy tells me

Let her go" Bellamy says stepping forward

"I will slit her throat" Murphy says digging the knife into my skin making it bleed.

"No, please. Please don't hurt her" Charlotte yells

"Don't hurt her? Okay, I'll make you a deal. You come with me right now, I will let her go" Murphy tells the little girl

"Don't do it, Charlotte" I tell her and Murphy begins drawing a line with the knife in my skin.

"No! No, I have to! I can't let any of you get hurt anymore. Not because of me. Not after what I did" Charlotte says and turns around and jumps off the edge of the cliff. I break out of Murphy's grip and run to the edge of the cliff and look over

"Charlotte! No! No, no, no" Clarke cries and I silently cry.

"Bellamy" Murphy says and Bellamy runs up to Murphy and jumps on him and begins to beat the living crap out of him

"No! Bellamy. Bellamy. Bellamy, stop! You'll kill him!" Clarke yells and Finn pulls Bellamy off of Murphy

"Get off me! He deserves to die." Bellamy yells

"No! We don't decide who lives and dies. Not down here" Clarke tells him

"So help me God, if you say the people have a right to decide..."

"No, I was wrong before, okay? You were right. Sometimes it's dangerous to tell people the truth. But if we're gonna survive down here, we can't just live by whatever the hell we want. We need rules" Clarke tells Bellamy

"And who makes those rules, huh? You?" Bellamy says

"For now, we make the rules. Okay? You, me and Sophie" Clarke says. Why me.

"So, what, then? We just take him back and pretend like it never happened?" Bellamy asks

"No! We banish him" I tell them

"Get up" Bellamy says lifting Murphy off the ground and holding him on the edge of the cliff.

"If I ever catch you near camp, we'll be back here. Understand?" Bellamy asks Murphy and Murphy nods his head rapidly

"As for the four of you, you can come back and follow me, or go off with him to die. Your choice" Bellamy says and begins to walk back to camp with the rest of us following him except Murphy.

Once we get back to camp we explain as to why we decide to banish Murphy and then I walk in Octavia and I's tent and go to sleep.
