Chapter 29: Finn

He found her, I panic. He found her; he found her; he found her. How? How did he, how could he? We thought he was completely oblivious, but maybe this whole time he had been watching us and was ready to pounce at the right time. I'm still trying to process it.

Murphy found Charlotte.

"Stay away or I'll float you all!" Murphy threatens. His appearance makes him even scarier - the messy hair and bloodshot eyes, the ripped clothing and pale complexion.

Charlotte's eyes dart around, looking expectantly at people to help her. Everyone just stares at her, not believing either of them are alive.

"Please don't hurt her," Clarke speaks up.

"Don't hurt her?" he asks. "Don't hurt a killer? I'm a killer, too, yet you hurt me instead. Again."

"We'll leave you alone, just let her go," she pleads, her voice cracking at the end. She breaks into a run towards Murphy and attempts to twist his arm behind his back. But he's too quick and he grabs Clarke's jacket in his fist.

"What're you trying to do, Princess?" he growls against her ear, making her wince. "Get your precious Charlotte back?" He laughs menacingly. "No chance."

"Let her go." My voice comes out stronger than I thought.

"Or what?" he asks.

"Or we'll kill you." Bellamy comes up from behind me with one of our few guns, bullets in place.

"Ah, Bellamy Blake. I never thought I would see the bastard again. How's it been, old friend?"

"Fine until you showed up. And we were never friends, just allies. But not anymore."

"But allies stick together, right?" Murphy's face turns red with anger. "What happened to that?" His grip tightens on Clarke and Charlotte, making his knuckles go white.

Bellamy storms over to him. "Let them go or I'll float you." Bellamy's stare is strong and forceful, but Murphy doesn't back down.

"Never," he exclaims.

"Then there's only one thing for it." Bellamy's large hands lock around Murphy's skull and neck. He looks unwilling at first to what he's about to do, but his expression is rock hard and he goes for it.

In one swift movement, Murphy's head is shifted ninety degrees to the side and Bellamy quickly lets go of the corpse in front of him. Murphy's hand unconsciously hits the back of Charlotte as he falls, losing his grip on both of them.

I look away, but when I open my eyes his face contorts into agony as he realises the pain he's in, but it soon softens as his life drains away.

"Ah!" Charlotte cries out in pain.

"What happened?" Clarke asks. Charlotte turns around slowly, and protruding from her back is a long knife. She falls to the ground onto her back, forcing the knife in further.

"I - can't - breathe," she gasps.

"The knife must have pierced her lung." Clarke breathes in and out quickly. She puts her hand over her open mouth. "She won't make it."

Charlotte is already losing the colour in her cheeks and the light in her eyes. I bend down to see her.

"I can't feel my legs," she slurs.

"Soon you won't be able to feel anything, and you'll be at rest." Clarke strokes her hair with her free hand.

"Charlotte!" Bellamy moves towards us.

"Bellamy," she says quietly. "Don't worry about me. I'm okay."

"You're okay," he lies to himself, his voice catching. "You'll be okay."

"Close your eyes, Charlotte," I say, carefully shutting her eyes with my fingers. Without another word she takes in a final breath and then she stops. No more life left in her. Nothing remaining.

Bellamy sinks his face into his hands and sobs. Clarke cries into my shoulder and I hold her head there. I just sit there and watch the two lifeless bodies in front of me, taking in the situation.

"Shh," I whisper, kissing the top of her head. "I'm here."

She looks up at me tearfully. "She's gone," she cries. "Charlotte's gone, after all we did."

"She's not gone really. She's still in here." I point to her heart.
