The Earth We Once Knew - John Murphy

Sky Crew

Murphy's POV

I watched as Phoneix walked out of the dropship, I was going to follow her but something in me said not to, so I didn't. I moved away from Raven and sat away from her as she leaned against this can thing, I was rewrapping my leg as she looked at me

Raven- why didn't you go after her?

Murphy- what?

Raven- your girlfriend. why didn't you go after her when she walked out?

Murphy- didn't see why I should, she walked out. she left not me.

Raven- *scuffs* how'd you get to be such a dick, Murphy?

Murphy- I'm sorry for shooting you. okay? and for my relationship it's just complicated, okay? sometimes this is what she needs, space. is that what you want to hear?

Raven- let me guess mommy and daddy didn't love you

Murphy- no they loved me

Raven- are you going to cry Murphy?

Murphy- *looks at her* screw you, Raven.

Raven- no, tell me. I want to know. how does a kid who's loved by his parents turn into a murdering psychopath?

I was about to answer when I heard the curtain open and Phoneix walked in, she wiped her nose, and I knew she was crying but I didn't want to question her as raven was right there

Phoneix's POV

I had just come back from a tiny walk when I heard Raven's last words, so I walked in wiping my nose as I looked at her 

Phoneix- for the recorded, he didn't kill anyone. I did. I killed Miles and Myles 2.0.

she looked at me shaking her head

Raven- you used to be so good, what the hell happened?

Phoneix- earth happened. reality happened. 

I leaned against the wall as I let out a sigh before Raven looked at Murphy

Raven- fine you didn't kill anyone but almost did, answer the question.

Murphy- he gets the flu. his father steals medicine hat turns out wouldn't have helped anyway. gets floated for it and his mother, she starts drinking pretty heavily after that, and her last words she says to him before he finds her in a pool of her own vomit is that... *starts to cry as he looks at her* is that he killed his father.

Raven- boo hoo

I watched those tear drops fall from his eyes and it enrages me as I walk over taking the knife from Murphy's pocket as he tries to stop me, but I moved too quickly. I grabbed Raven by her collar and pulled her to me as I put the knife to her neck

Raven- what the hell happened to you? *her voice cracks*

Phoneix- love happened. you mock him like that again and I will slit your throat, this won't be an empty threat like I did to the others I will actually do it this time. you got that, Reyes?

she nodded as I pulled away pushing her back slightly before tossing the knife back to Murphy making sure it hit the floor and not him as I sat on the ground against the wall not saying another word. we sat in there for a while until this guy with a gun came in along with two other people from the ark, what the actual hell. Abigal came in

Murphy- help Raven

she had passed out a while ago, so Abby ran to her aid while I just sat there at this point praying to die

Abigal- raven. raven, honey it's abby. 

raven slowly opened her eyes as Murphy looked at me but I didn't catch his gaze

Raven- Clarke's not here, I don't know where she is. what happened to you?

she looked at Murphy as I scuffed thinking she was about to expose him for almost killing her as she looked back at Abigal

Raven- I got shot

they call for a stretcher as i sat there thinking of a way to maybe escape not wanting to be with them any longer than have to but the thought in my head that maybe my dad was with them too. Kane looked at Murphy and I as he helped up Murphy signaling for one of the guys to help me, I shoved the guy's hands away as I walked next to Kane as he helped Murphy out

Murphy- it was awful, it was awful. there was hundreds of them

i shook my head looking away from him as I noticed Bellamy and Finn watching us. oh, shit bellamy

Murphy- if it wasn't for Raven, I wouldn't know what happened

they walked to us as I looked at Bellamy and Finn not saying anything

Murphy- Bellamy, you're uh you're alive

Bellamy tackles Murphy out of Kane's arms and starts to pin him

Bellamy- you murdering son of a bitch! *punches Murphy* this is for Raven

I went to walk over but Kane stopped me as he signaled for the guy next to us to walk over, I watched him pull out the tazing rode as he walked to Bellamy tazing him as he fell off of Murphy, I ran to Murphy's side kneeling down to him

Kane- place him under arrest

Finn- wait you don't understand. Phoneix murdered two of our people, Murphy shot another, and they tried to hang Bellamy

oh, this traitor asshole, if it wasn't for that rode I would have decked him by now

Kane- I don't care. you are not animals. there are rules

they began to arrest Bellamy as I start to help up Murphy

Kane- laws *looks at us than at Bellamy* you are not in control here anymore

they walk out with Raven on a stretcher as Finn goes to her, I don't pay attention to them as I am looking at Murphy. Kane walks to Murphy so I get up moving so he can help him up which he does putting Murphy's arm over his shoulder before looking at me

Kane- your aura has changed

Phoneix- and you haven't changed one bit.

he chuckles shaking his head as Murphy also looks at me

Kane- we have to talk about your dad *cuts off*

Phoneix- not now.

he nods as we start to walk so, they can bandage up Murphy. I sat next them as I didn't say a word until Abigal looked at my shirt

Abigal- Grey your bleeding

Phoneix- no shit.

she walked over to me lifting my shirt seeing the blood soaked bandage that I had placed on my wound

Abigal- you did a good job trying to stop the bleeding but it still can get infected 

I didn't say anything as she changed out my bandage, i winced as she did till I felt a hand grab mine making me look at Murphy. I felt Abigal looking at me so I looked at her as she held a tiny smile

Abigal- young love, man I miss that

I didn't say another word and just looked down at Murphy's an my hand. love, yeah that is what they call this. they pick up Raven's stretcher as we all stand 

Kane- Abby come on we got to go, we have to get there before dark.

I know they are talking about the Alpha station as he was discussing that with Murphy. we all walk out of the camp following Kane, I had this gut feeling telling me to run away and don't look back, but I ignore it. man to this day do I regret ignoring it.
