Inside.
Jackson "I am getting used to patching you up, Murphy."
Bellamy chained Emori to the wall "I guess now we know what the restraints were for."
Echo" How long will she be out?"
Jackson" The sedative in the tranq stick should last up to 3 hours."
Miller" Hey, what about the mothership? They're gonna think it's us. How do we warn them?"
Bellamy shook his head " We don't. Radios don't work down here. For now, we worry about ourselves. Murphy, are you okay?"
Jackson"His wounds are superficial. You're lucky."
Murphy"I'm lucky? Sorry. Is that your professional diagnosis? Because if so, you suck at being a doctor."
I warned "Murphy--"
Murphy snapped at me "What? No. What? I'm dying to know what he thinks turned my girlfriend into the monster that just attacked me."
Clarke" It's alright here. 'For two days, heaven is hell, and friends become foes.' Whatever is in the air, it affects people, too."
Miller asked confused " Why are the rest of us okay?"
Clarke"I don't know, but according to this, it comes from the plants."
Murphy" It's a children's book."
Clarke" Yeah, but it's coming true. When we were running from the bugs, Emori went down in the brush. It's probably why she lost it first."
Echo raised an eyebrow "First."
Bellamy"We're all breathing it in."
Miller" If it's the air out there, then we'll stay in here. We are gonna ride it out."
Murphy "That's a great plan, Miller. What happens when we're trapped in here and the rest of us lose our minds?"
Bellamy nodded " Murphy's right. There's more restraints in school. I'm guessing they're everywhere. We need to separate."
Echo "I'll stay with Emori."
----
I was chained to the wall.
Bellamy was across from me. Murphy was here too.
Murphy looked at me "God, I hate being tied up, yet somehow whenever I'm with you, sooner or later, we wind up here, don't we? I mean, first, you hanged me."
Bellamy " Well, in fairness, I did that."
Murphy " Only after she forced your hand"
Me "i begged him to stop, you asshole"
Murphy " and who could forget Lexa? Yeah, I was tied up that night, too. Just a disposable pawn in your game."
I shook my head " That's not fair."
Murphy" Neither was tying up me and Emori in Becca's lab, but she was disposable, too, right? "
I scoffed, shaking my head.
Murphy "Let me ask you a question. Did enjoy throwing Bellamy in the fighting pit?"
i looked down, hurt.
Bellamy growled "Okay, Murphy. That's enough. Don't make me gag you, too."
Me " Jackson can take another look at that wound in the morning."
Murphy" Oh, It's not from the knife. It's from the bullet wounds that I took from saving Bellamy's life from those armed psychopaths Clarke put back in the battlefield. oh wow, see, this time it's Clarke and not you"
I asked irritated " What the hell do you want from me, Murphy? I'm sorry, okay. For all of it. I never meant for you to get hurt, but, no matter what I do, someone always does. Is that what you want to hear, that I'm the bad guy? Fine. I'll be the bad guy. When I'm in charge, people die."
Then i looked at Bellamy " Isn't that what you said? "
He looked down.
I looked at Murphy "Satisfied?"
Murphy leaned back "It's a start."
Suddenly we heard someone scream " Ah! Make it stop!"
Me "It's Miller."
Bellamy" Miller, what's wrong?"
He looked at me " I gotta get up there now. Hand me my key now."
Me "Fine. But I'm going with you. Throw me mine."
Bellamy threw over my key and i threw mine over to him.
We ran up to the tower.
Echo looked at us confused "Bellamy, what are you doing?"
Bellamy" Echo, It's okay. We've got this."
I hammered against the door " Jackson, open the door. Jackson, open the door. Jackson, open the door."
Jackson opened the door "The bugs, they're inside him."
I asked confused and rushed over to Miller "What? Hey, hey, did you see them?"
Bellamy" Miller, stop so we can help you."
Jackson" Miller and I were just talking about the terrarium and how I think the bugs are an early-warning system like the canaries in a coalmine. Nate opened it, and they must have gotten out."
Bellamy" They're dead everywhere else."
Jackson"Just unhook me so I can examine him."
Bellamy opened Jackson's cuff.
Miller" Cut me. Got to cut it out! I can feel it in my arms. Got to cut it out, doc."
Jackson" Nate, Nate, I'm here. I'm here."
Miller" Hurry. They're crawling up my arm. Hurry, before they get to my torso. I can't die like Obika."
Jackson looked into the bag "Scalpel, it's not here."
Me " Bellamy, I don't think this is real."
Miller groaned out " I feel it."
Jackson suddenly grabbed a knife.
Bellamy "Jackson, no. What are you--"
Jackson threw him to the side.
I tried to punch Jackson off of Miller but Jackson was way too strong.
Jackson rammed the knife in Miller's arm.
Miller screamed in pain.
Bellamy injected Jackson his Tranq and i injected Miller mine.
They both fell to the ground unconscious.
Bellamy looked at me "you okay?"
I nodded.
Bellamy "You want to tell me how two people can have the same hallucination?"
I shook my head "We have no idea how to survive down here."
We walked back into our room.
I looked around confused "The hell is Murphy?"
Bellamy "Son of a bitch. He took the guns."
Outside.
i yelled "Murphy, where are you?!
Bellamy yelled "Murphy, come on!"
Me " Murphy, come back, please."
We walked over to a door.
Bellamy hammered against it "Echo, open up. It's me."
Echo"Bellamy?"
Bellamy" Echo, open up."
Emori yelled "Don't you open that door!"
Bellamy"Echo, let me in."
Echo" Bellamy, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be inside."
Bellamy" Murphy's loose. He's taken the guns. I think he may come for Emori."
Me "Echo's right. We should go back inside. He can't shoot us there."
Bellamy shook his head " No. You need to go back to the school and see if he left any weapons, and you need to open this damn door!"
Echo" Tell me why. What's happening?"
Bellamy" We used our tranqs on Miller and Jackson, and I need yours for Murphy."
Echo"Are Miller and Jackson okay? We heard screams."
Bellamy yelled " Yeah, they're fine. Just let me in!"
Echo yelled " I said shut up! Shut up!"
Bellamy " What are you waiting for, Echo?"
I raised an eyebrow "Bellamy--"
Bellamy yelled "Just wait, Mel. Echo, now!"
I called out " Echo, don't listen to him. He's losing it, too."
Bellamy "Open the door."
Echo" Bellamy, I'm sorry. I can't."
Me " Bellamy, It's okay. The toxin is affecting you. Now just come with me back to the school so --"
Bellamy snapped at me " Maybe you haven't noticed, Mel, but I don't need you anymore."
Suddenly we heard gunshots.
I covered behind a container.
Bellamy yelled " Murphy! Murphy!"
--
I walked into a room and looked around.
Suddenly i heard my dad's voice "Mel? Mel?"
I looked around and found a radio "Dad? is that you? are you okay?"
Dad "yes,it's me. Yes. Raven finally figured out the radios. What's happened? I was so scared when you didn't come back."
I shook my head " it's not safe down here. The eclipse causes the plants to release a toxin that affects our nervous system."
Dad "Toxin? Mel, are you sure it's not just you?"
I shook my head "No. No. It affects all of us, I mean, some of us worse than others."
Dad "You don't understand. I'm not saying you're imagining it. I'm saying the toxin is you. Think about it. No one is safe around you. The only people you won't kill die, anyway, trying to protect you. Your mother died because she needed her little girl to know she was a good girl. You infect people, Mel. There's only one way to stop it."
Me " How?"
Dad "Take out the knife. Good. Now put it to your throat."
I looked at the knife in my hand and put it on my throat.
Dad " That's it. You have to cut deep. Make sure you sever the corotid. Come on, Mel. You can do this. I know I told you there were no good guys, but we both know that was a lie to make you feel better. There are good guys, Mel. You're just not one of them."
Suddenly the door opened and Murphy walked inside with the gun.
Murphy "Well, look who I found. Come on. Not you, too. Put the knife down, or I put one in your leg."
I aimed the knife at my throat.
Murphy " Don't make me do this. As much fun as it would be to shoot you, Bellamy would hear it. Hey, Mel, Mel. Listen to me. You're speaking into a radio with the power off. See? There's no indicator light."
I looked at the radio.
Suddenly we heard Bellamy yell from outside "Murphy!"
I put the radio down and then the knife.
Murphy "Good choice. Now, since you're clearly only a threat to yourself and not to me, what do you say we save Bellamy before he kills both of us?"
I nodded.
Outside.
Bellamy yelled "Murphy! Murphy! This isn't the ring. We're not playing games down here, and I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone else."
Murphy" Was gonna say the same thing about you."
Bellamy"You're the one with the gun."
Murphy put down the gun " That's true. What do you say I put it down and we talk, okay...You and me, just a couple of guys stuck on a moon, nobody else on it, filled with man-eating bugs and toxic plants that turn people who love each other into homicidal maniacs. That's what's happening to you, Bellamy."
Bellamy "Oh, so you're looking out for me-- John Murphy, court jester."
Murphy " Well, it beats useless."
Bellamy "Not by much."
Murphy yelled "Now! "
They started to fight each other.
I froze.
Bellamy drowned Murphy in the water.
Me "Bellamy!"
Bellamy walked to me.
I asked shocked "What did you do?"
Bellamy" How many times have you tried to kill me now?"
I yelled "Murphy!"
Bellamy ran to me.
I grabbed the knife and cut his leg.
He groaned out.
Then i ran into the water to Murphy and pulled him out "Murphy! come on! come on! don't be dead, please!"
Suddenly Bellamy grabbed me and threw me to the ground.
I groaned out.
He got on top of me and started to choke me.
I cried out "Bellamy"
He was way too strong for me.
Bellamy " I'll kill you! Not this time. This time, you die, not me."
I coughed out.
Murphy tried to push him off " Hey, get off. Give me that thing. Stop it man. You're killing her."
Bellamy grabbed the knife and swung at Murphy.
Murphy jumped out of the way and was able to kick the knife out of Bellamy's hand.
I gagged out because of Bell's hand around my throat.
Then i reached for the back that was on my side.
Bellamy looked at it and his eyes fell on a needle. The needle belonged to the nightblood serum syringe.
I shook my head, cracking out "Bell-"
Bellamy grabbed the syringe and rammed it into my neck.
I cried out before grabbing a smoke grenade and i opened it.
We all fell back unconscious.
--
I felt someone shaking me and opened my eyes.
Me "Abby?"
I looked around, confused.
Raven, Octavia, Diyoza and Jordan were here too.
Jordan"Where are the others?"
Me " Locked up to protect us."
Raven asked in tears " What happened to Shaw?"
Bellamy sat up groaning " Abby? "
He looked at the wound in his neck before looking at me with wide eyes "Mel, i -i am so -"
I took the needle of my neck and my eyes widened.
Octavia "did you seriously inject her with nightblood?"
My eyes widened.
Bellamy's jaw dropped "Melissa-"
I shook my head and looked around.
Bellamy looked at Octavia "What the hell is she doing here...and who is that?"
There was a woman there i didn't know.
Abby shook Murphy " John, wake up. Come on now. His pulse is too weak."
I pulled down John's collar and froze.
his veins were black.
Me "what the hell?"
Abby's jaw dropped.
Suddenly we heard children coming our way.
a bunch of kids ran to us.
A girl walked to us .
The strange woman " It's okay, Rose. Don't be afraid."
Rose looked at us " Are you here to take us home?"
I froze " Isn't this your home?"
