Barricade- John Murphy

Chapter 47

Season 3

Episode 5:
Hakeldama

I sit with Abby and Marcus as they talk to Jaha. He was all cool and mellow now. It was a bit creepy. He kept talking about the city of light, freeing the minds and shit like that. Honestly I was getting bored hearing the same crap. "And what? You found the city of light all by yourself? You left with a whole group. And you come back alone. Seems a bit weird." I cut in making them turn to me.

"Why don't you leave us to talk?" Jaha smiles at me. "Nope. As newly elected Chancellor, I need to be involved." I smirk and he seems surprised. "Congratulations." He tells me. "Yeah something's wrong with him. He wouldn't tell me that shit. He hates me." I point out. Apparently, the night before, Pike tried to do an election for Chancellor right before I got here. They all chated my name.

"So, did you come back alone? Or did you come back with anyone from that team?" I ask him. "I'm never alone. Alie is always with me. In here." He says pointing to his head. I straighten up, my eyes widening for a second. "Alie?" I ask and he looks at me. "You've heard." He smiles. "Nothing I've heard is good. Take the bag and lock him the fuck up. I don't care how you do it." I tell Marcus and walk out.

I yank my radio off my belt loop as I get outside. "Sorella come in. We have an issue." I say pacing. "What's going on?" She replies. "Have you finished with him?" I ask her. "Yes we have." She tells me. "Come to camp." I tell her heading for the others. "Murphy, Bell, Tavi, Lincoln. We have issues." I say and all of them turn confused. "Some of you don't know the full story here. ALIE is here." I tell the ones who know.

"What?" Bellamy asks shocked. "She's somehow looped in with the city of light. Jaha said he's never alone because Alie is with him." I tell them. "Who's Alie?" Nate asks confused. "I don't know for sure. Look. A while ago, I got this weird dream vision. I saw someone who I know is dead. He warned me that Alie was the root of all coming problems. And to stop her before she wipes out the remaining living people." I say quickly.

"Who gave you this warning?" Harper asks confused. "Jake Griffin." I say looking at Clarke. Her eyes tear up confused. "What?" She asks and I nod. "I can't explain what all happened. I need to meet Lexa at the gate. I will tell you all the full story later. Do not trust a thing Jaha says." I tell them. "Aye, Aye captain." Raven teases and I roll my eyes. I jog to the gate as they let Lexa in.

"What's going on? You sounded panicked." She tells me walking with me. "Alie is here." I tell her. "What?" She asks pausing. "It's not going to make much sense. Jaha, I mentioned him briefly. He came back claiming he found the city of light. He says he's never alone because Alie is with him." I tell her and she frowns. "What is the plan?" She asks me.

"I don't know. That's why I called you down here. How do we destroy something we can't see?" I ask and she pauses. We walk over joining the others as we talk. "Everyone round up!" I call out and everyone shifts rounding about. "I'm sure word has spread that Jaha is back. He has come preaching about the city of light. Claiming he found it." I say and there's murmurs.

"I understand we're all curious in some way. But you cannot take anything from him. Nothing at all. Something about the city of light, is not what we think. Do not take anything from Jaha in the time I have to clear up what's truly going on." I tell them. "What do you mean?" Someone calls and I look seeing Monty's mom. "He keeps speaking of someone named Alie. That she's always with him. But he's clearly alone. That leads me to believe something he's taken is causing him to see this 'Alie' persona." I explain.

"A hallucinogen." She nods. "Yes. So please, do not take anything from him." I plead before I get down. "Let's head to the side camp. I have a feeling these new farm members won't take my word." I say as we all move. Murphy grabs my hand as we walk and I smile up at him. "Alright. I need to tell you all a story. And I need ALL of you to swear your silence. Telling you is the only way you will understand." I say and they all nod.

They all say they promise and swear and I nod. "Sorella, are you sure?" Lexa asks quietly. "I trust them. Keran, Mira, since you two know. Can you keep an eye out for anyone trying to listen in?" I ask and they both nod. "Alright. When the missile hit TonDC, I was injured. That you've heard of. But, there's something you don't know." I say to start out.

"When I was unconscious from my injuries, I was visited by a dead person. Jake Griffin. He told me about how things were going to change, fast. He warned me about Alie. That she would be the root of our problems. And that we had to destroy her quickly before she kills the remaining living on earth." I explain to them. "He even warned me about the Mountain. Keeping everyone together, not wavering loyalties. He told me, me and Lexa were stronger together. Even mentioned her by name." I chuckle as I blink away a few tears.

"He spoke about Polis, and then Alie. Also, just to pass it on since I'm finally sharing. Clarke, he says not to shoulder too much. And don't second guess your choices." I tell her and she sniffles wiping her face. "To go along with this. When she passed out in TonDC. I donated her my blood. The thing with my blood, is it's typically toxic to anyone without the same blood." Lexa explains to them. "Toxic? Then how is she alive?" Fox asks confused.

"I was visited by past commanders. This is natural for the current commander. They told me she was worthy of the commanders blood. So, I donated. She now has the commanders blood." She says giving me a nod and a smile. "They're called Natblida's." I tell them. "I heard that word. When we came to Polis." Bellamy says. "Bell, you knew about this." I remind him laughing. "Natblida stands for night blood." I tell them cutting my palm.

"Woah... that's freaky cool." Miller grins. "Clarke has understood why I don't want her mother to know. Last I need is her to try and make me a lab rat." I mutter. "My lips are sealed." Harper tells me and I smile at her. Everyone agrees and I chuckle. "So now, we have to figure out how to stop the bitch." I say and they all nod as we sit talking over ideas.

"What if the only way to stop her... is by joining?" Maya says and I frown. "That actually makes sense. What if the way to destroy her is IN the city of light. And the only way you get there is whatever drug thing Jaha took." I say softly. "Let's plan this more before anyone tries any self sacrificing shit." Bellamy says giving me a look. "I'm innocent." I smirk at him and he rolls his eyes. Everyone laughs as we get up heading back to everyone else.
