Wishing for Oblivion

That's Not My Nickname - Chapter 18

Since it's been a while I decided to just upload twice! Also I have a question: should I post the next two chapter (the ending) as two separate chapters or as one big one? 

I haven't decided whether I'll do an epilogue or another story, but I'm leaning towards just an epilogue. I feel as if the show has become too complex for Eve's character but I'm still not 100% ruling it out.

Also I've been tentatively working on a new project. It's going to be another Bellamy/OC fic but centered in an AU. Like, Hawaii Five-0 meets the 100! What do you guys think about that? 

Any feedback is appreciated! 

Enjoy! xx

Eve's POV

I stepped to the side, slowly, attempting to move in front of Jasper but Murphy cocked the gun forward.

"Don't. Move."

I stilled. Putting my hands up to try and talk him down. Though I don't think it's going to work.

"Okay. Take it easy Murphy."

"Yeah, everything's cool."

I admired Jasper trying to keep calm despite how hard he was trembling. I knew there was no way Murphy believed either of us; I was just trying to distract him long enough to make a plan.

"No it's not. You know what'll happen to me if you tell Bellamy."

I felt a surge of anger at his words. Bellamy had been right to not want to give Murphy a second chance. I can't believe I fought for this kid to get a second chance.

"Tell Bellamy what?"

The familiar deep voice crackled over what I assumed was a radio in Jasper's pocket. Raven really was a genius.

We all looked at Jasper with a mixture of shock and horror. While I was relieved that the others knew what was happening, this meant the situation had just escalated rapidly.

"Give me the radio, Jasper."

Jasper looked at me with hesitation but I just nodded at him with my hands still raised.

He pulled the radio out and was about to give it to Murphy when instead he moved it closer to his mouth and hurried to spit out the words,

"Murphy-has-a-gun. He-killed-Myles!"

Murphy moved fast. He hit Jasper with the gun, knocking him to the ground. I tried to use the distraction to disarm him by pulling my knife out. However I couldn't throw it because it could hit Jasper. Instead I lunged forward to grab Murphy around the waist and tackle him to the ground. I caught the look of terror in his eye as he recognized the glint of my knife but I was taken aback. The same look of fear in his eyes reflected the one that had been in the Grounder I killed only a few hours ago. My hesitation was all he needed as he swung his arm around to pistol-whip me before pointing the gun back at Jasper. His finger on the trigger.

"One more move like that and I shoot."

"Murphy what the hell are you doing?" Bellamy's voice crackled over the radio again.

I breathed heavily through the throbbing on my cheek as Murphy hit the switch to close the ramp door. Then he came over to me, threw a ripped out seat belt at my feet and ordered me to tie myself to the piping that ran around the wall.

I wanted to resist but his gun was still pointed at Jasper. I did as he told me to, not wanting to risk Jasper's life. He tossed another piece of a seat belt at Jasper and instructed him to do the same.
