The 102: Survival of the Fittest

Sickness and Beginnings

Sickness and Beginnings:

            I felt my body be placed on something soft. My stomach hurt and I couldn’t remember Anya stabbing me. I could feel the blood on my head and hands and I had this fear that if I opened my eyes I wouldn’t be in the drop ship but somewhere with the grounders. I tried moving to get in a comfortable position, but when I did a cool breeze hit and I groan in pain and because of the cold air hitting my tank top.

I heard footsteps coming and a blanket was soon draped over my shoulders. The warmth calmed me down and helped a little.

“Is she okay?” I heard someone ask, their voice was familiar…

“I-I’m not sure…a grounder just came and dropped her on me…I thought he was gonna take me back bu-” this time it was a male voice…

“What do you mean?”

“When you banished me, the grounders tortured me, I-I told them everything. And one night they just l-left my cage open and I took that as a chance to run across the bridge.” Reality hit when I remembered Bellamy talking about banishing Murphy.

Murphy was back.

I felt the blanket get pushed closer to my face and it caused me to sight in content.

“I hope she wakes up…” the girl said, “I can’t lose her too.” I kept trying to figure out her voice but I just couldn’t. While trying I felt this pain in my stomach, my throat began to burn and I felt sick all of a sudden. I tried to hold it in but when the sound of groaning and someone throwing up hit, almost immediately I leaned off the bed in what I assume was the drop ship, I began to throw up along with the stranger.

I heard a few people begin to enter the drop ship but I couldn’t move, all I could do was squeezed my eyes shut and continued to throw up. Warm tears fell from my eyes. Opening in them I was expecting to me met with my dinner from the other night but instead it was blood. My blood.

With one of my hands I whipped the tears off my face, I looked down and saw that I was crying blood. My head whipped up and I saw the same had happened to Murphy and Bellamy, Octavia and Clarke stood looking at us in awe. I looked back at my bloody hand and back up at them. I was confused, scared and the pain in my stomach/head were not helping. Bellamy turned his head towards Clark, but he kept his gaze on me,

“Clark, what’s happening to them?” Clarke looked at me then leaned down by Murphy.

“Murphy, hey look at me,” Murphy looked up at her, but only for a second before he began to throw up again, “I need you to tell me exactly how you escaped form the grounders, what happened?” Clarke continued. Murphy looked at her, blood dripping from his mouth,

“I don’t know I-I woke up,” he took a deep breath, “they forgot to lock my cage…there was no one there so I took off.” He was breathing heavily and I could see he was in pain.  Clarke stood up and turned towards us, the look on her face told us something was wrong.
