Barricade- John Murphy

Chapter 36

Season 2

Episode 14:
Bodyguard of Lies

We had talked out a lot of different scenarios before there was a shift of the tent. "Goddess?" I hear Murphy and smile. "Come in." I chuckle and he slips into the tent. "The others were looking for you. Figured I'd check here since I never saw you come out." He tells me joining my side. "We were talking over some other details in case one thing doesn't work, we have backups." I tell him as I lean into his side.

"It's always good to have backup plans." He nods and I chuckle softly. "You should know something. I trust you not to say anything." I tell him and he nods. "What's up?" He asks us. "When Lexa gave me some of her blood... something happened. Nothing bad." I say quickly as I see his face. I run through the whole, seeing Clarke's dad thing and he seems shocked.

"On top of that, the night the bomb dropped, I had a dream from the past commanders. Long story." She tells him and he nods. "They told me that she would be my strongest support in times coming. And that she was worthy of the commanders blood." She tells him and he looks shocked. "You saw my blood. Typically, the blood of commanders is toxic and kills whoever receives the blood. But Artemis was worthy of it, so she survived." Lexa says giving me a proud look.

Murphy turns to me as if guessing already. I make a small cut on my other palm showing him my now black blood. "Woah... that is intense. But super awesome." He says and I chuckle. I clean my hand off as Lexa explains our talk. I turn hearing a horn blowing, cheering bursting to life and I smile brightly. "Bellamy... he did it." I say excitedly. "Fix that war paint. We're going to war." Lexa smiles holding out the jar to me. 

I quickly fix my paint, the dark color around my eyes boosting the confidence I had after our talk. We walk out joining the army and start our march. "Hey. So, there's no chance I can talk you into staying in the back can I?" I ask smirking at my sister. "No way." She says and I nod. "I figured. I just... I don't want you getting hurt." I tell her and she nods. "I feel the same way about you. But I know you can handle yourself." She nudges me. "And I know you can too." I smile at her. 

Episode 15:
Blood Must Have Blood-1

Inside the Mountain, Bellamy was back in the harvest chamber unlocking the woman cage from before. "Get up. It's time to go." He says and she turns shocked to see him there. "Told you I'd come back for you." He says pulling the door open. "Come on out. Our people are marching on Mount Weather right now." He tells her helping her out of the cage onto her feet. He moves and unlocks the cage next to hers, the man inside smacking Bellamy when he tries to help him out. "Slow down. They just bled him." The woman tells him. 

"Listen to me. There's an army inside this room. And I need you to help me get them ready to fight. Can you do that?" He asks her and she nods. "Not only are our people marching here together. They are marching with Wanheda right next to your commander." He tells her, remembering his sisters words. The woman whirls to look at him from helping her friend from the cage. "Wanheda... the title has been claimed?" She asks him and he nods.
