The Earth We Once Knew - John Murphy

Pay Back

Murphy- yeah, it's a little late for that now

Bellamy- you think they're just going to let you walk out of here? let either of you walk out of here?

he looked at me as I looked at the ground realizing he's right, we kill him there's no out. we are dead no matter what

Bellamy- you are supposed to protect your girlfriend, so why is she standing here with blood on her hands? she shouldn't be protecting you or doing all these things to help you. you are no good of a boyfriend, you failed to protect her!

Murphy- shut up. you weren't with us when you banished us, hell why do you even care huh?! you let her walk with me that night when we got banished, if you cared so fucking much than why didn't you stop her?! I protected her. sadly, no one is here to protect you

he pulls the strap hanging bellamy but drops it again chuckling as he did, he changed the subject when he spoke again

Murphy- well, I think the princess is dead. but I know the king's about to die. so who's really going to lead these people, huh? me, that's who and yeah, maybe I'll have to kill your grounder-pounding little sister

Bellamy goes to hit him, but Murphy runs to the strap pulling it which hung him again, we heard a spark than a scream making us look down as we looked back at Bellamy. I know that was Raven

Murphy- I'm guessing that's her right now

Murphy lets him go and walks to where the scream was before shooting it, I had enough of this

Phoneix- murphy enough! we made our point!

he didn't stop till the gun jammed; Bellamy was about to get off the noose, but Murphy was quicker kicking the crate causing Bellamy to start hanging. I got a huge sense of deja vu when Murphy was hung so he looked at me as tears fell from my eyes

Murphy- stop crying! this is what we wanted!

Phoneix- I didn't want this Murphy!

he was confused as he looked at me 

Phoneix- I wasn't going to kill him if he came in here! I had a plan to just torture him a bit that was all! this is too far! 

Murphy- how?! they did this to me?! not to mention you killed two people that hung me, yeah don't think I wasn't told

I shook my head wiping the tears as I stared at him

Phoneix- what I did was wrong and i will gladly pay the price for that, but he said sorry Murphy! he may not of let us walk out of here scotch free but it's better than dying! I'm only 17 Murphy! we are kids still!

Murphy ignored me and looked at Bellamy who was using his hands to try an stop himself from choking

Murphy- using your hands is a cheat, mine were bound, remember?

Murphy went to move them, but Bellamy kicked him causing him to hit the ground, Murphy started hitting him as I yelled for him to stop till we heard the door creaking. they got the door opened. Murphy grabbed my hand as he made me climb up the ladder fast before he followed closing the hatch as he stuck a rode through it. I shoved him back as he looked at me, his anger expression falling when he looked into my eyes

Murphy- there's those eyes

I looked at him confused as he sigh moving the gun so it wouldn't hit me when he stepped closer putting his hand on my cheek

Murphy- they went so dark for so long, I thought I lost you for a moment. you were replaced by someone else, someone I didn't know

I sighed looking at him as he used his thumb to wipe away my tears

Phoneix- I didn't know what else to do, I didn't know how to cope with seeing you get hung so I turned it all off. I lost all my feelings and emotions for so long, I guess seeing bellamy about to get the same treatment and after being tortured it all came back at once

he kissed my lips as I kissed back before he pulled back slightly

Murphy- welcome back spacewalker

I realized that we were about to be gunned down by the others, so I turned running to the ammo as he watched me before I found one giving it to him as he started to load the gun

Murphy- always a thought ahead

Phoneix- one of us has to be

he was about to say something when we heard Bellamy from down there

Bellamy- Murphy! Phoneix! it's over!

I could hear him climbing up the ladder which made me panic as Murphy grabbed my arm when bellamy was trying to open the hatch, he moved me behind him as he pointed the gun at the hatch before I looked over and saw gun powder, i stepped a little closer to it. i hit Murphy's arm pointing in the direction as he looked at it

Bellamy- there's only way one out of this for you two now!

Murphy- you want to bet?

Murphy shot the gun power not realizing how close I was too it which when it exploded, I got shot back a little, a piece of the can hit my stomach leaving a small pain but ignored it

Murphy- great thinking, spacewalker

Phoneix- I wouldn't say that just yet, mystery boy

we walked to the hole sighing as we had to figure a way out of this an fast, I look at Murphy and kiss his cheek as he looks at me. I climb through the hole and jump down, the impact hurt but I ignored it looking at him as he copied my actions before walking to me holding my hand as he wiped his nose with his knife in his hand as we looked at the hole only to see Jasper and bellamy looking at us before we took off running in the forest still holding hands. we waited till we got further in before we stopped leaning against the trees. I felt that same pain on my stomach making me move my shirt up slightly only to see a cut on my stomach with blood pooling out of it, I quickly put down my shirt

Murphy- you okay?

I nod smiling not wanting to worry him anymore as I looked at him

Phoneix- never better.
