Barricade- John Murphy

Chapter 34

Season 2

Episode 12:
Rubicon-2

As I come to, there's a ringing in my ears. I look around seeing things are still on fire, yelling is the next thing that registers. Someone yelling my name comes next. "Artemis! Arty!" I hear people yelling. "Wanheda!" I hear another voice yelling. "Here!" I yell and push myself up groaning as a pain flares through my leg. I look down seeing something sticking out of my leg. Metal, if I had to guess. 

I grip it and yank it out, yelling in pain. I grab the bottom of my shirt and rip it, tying the fabric above the wound to stop the bleeding. "Get knocked down, get back up." I tell myself in the grounders words. "Goddess! Holy shit!" I hear and look up seeing Murphy bounding over to me. "Artemis!" I hear and look seeing Octavia also running over. "Tavi? I thought you went with Lincoln to find the sniper?" I say confused. 

"I couldn't leave you. He's still heading to find him." She tells me. "Are you hurt?" I ask her. "I should be asking you that." She says scanning me. "Where's anyone else? Keran, Mira, Marcus. Anyone." I ask her. "I don't know. You're the first one I found." She tells me. "Over here! We need help!" Someone yells. We all turn running over and I gasp seeing Keran bleeding. "Keran!" I yell kneeling down. 

"I will be fine." He says grunting as someone works to patch him up. "What if you're not? Keran there's so much you haven't taught me. And you can't leave Mira." I say shaking my head. "You, Wanheda, are strong. Promise me you will keep fighting? Even if I am no longer here to fight with you. You are my second for a reason. Show them why." He tells me and I nod blinking my tears away. 

Gunshots start going off and everyone dives to hide. "Lincoln hasn't found the sniper yet." I mutter. "Abby?" I question spotting the woman. "You should still be back at camp." I state and she gives me a dirty look. "You knew. You crossed the line." She says and I scoff. "I could give two shits less how you feel. We warned everyone quietly so the Mountain Men wouldn't know! Now shut the hell up and help the wounded!" I snap at her.

Episode 13:
Ressurection

"Hey! Listen up!" I yell and it gets quiet. "Who's that talking?" Someone yells back. "Wanheda!" Keran yells groaning in pain. "There is a sniper in the mountain! Someone is already going to find him! Stay in the shadows when you move! Help what wounded you can! The others will circle back when it's safe. We hold this area while we can!" I yell to everyone. 

"Yes Wanheda!" I hear yelled in reply. "Wanheda, you are injured." I hear and look up at Nyko. "Flesh wound." I shrug and he kneels in front of me. He pulls something out of his pack and wipes my legs clean with it. He pours something on it and I hiss when it stings. "What is that?" I ask him. "It will stop your bleeding. Sit until the burning stops. Then you can move." He tells me.

I nod grimacing in pain as he moves away from me. "You alright?" Murphy says when he appears in front of me. "John. Is that a question right now?" I say and he pouts. "Why'd you call me John? You always call me Murphy." He says dramatically. "Drama king." I tease and he grins. "Got you to relax for a split second though." He tells me.
