"Murphy!" Bellamy roared, leaving River's side, heading for the next level of the drop ship.
Octavia stayed put beside her, helping remove the gag from her mouth and allowing her to speak again. Just then, Octavia grabbed her hand tightly in her own, "You're gonna be okay, Rivi. I won't let anything happen to you" she spoke, gently with a hint of sternness hid beneath it.
River only just had time to smile at Octavia with the best of her ability, when a loud boom erupted from the level above them. This sent a shiver down her spine as she jumped in shock. Murphy had been on the level filled with all their ammo, she realised.
Her mind immediately spun to Bellamy, afraid of his safety.
Knowing she wouldn't be able to stand herself, she turned to Jasper, "Will you go see if he's okay?" she asked, groaning.
Jasper nodded, "Yeah, yeah. I'll be right back".
"Thank you" River said, attempting to sit up straighter.
All she wanted was to get up there and get her revenge at Murphy. He'd nearly killed both her and Bellamy and she was for sure as hell not gonna let him get away with it.
"I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch" she cursed, venom laced in her voice.
River would be lying if she said she didn't feel betrayed. Murphy had been her friend only days ago — or she would have considered them to be friends. To now where she was sat with a bullet stuck in her leg, Murphy having been the reason for it.
"Come on, we need to get you someplace else" Octavia said, throwing her arm around River's shoulder.
River did the same, yet she couldn't control the groans and whimpers that left her mouth as she did, the shooting pain keeping on coming in her leg.
The sound of two pairs boots hitting the floor revealed that Jasper and Bellamy was back. As the two girls looked over, River didn't waste any time on asking questions.
"Where is Murphy?".
"He blew up the wall on the third floor, ran away" Bellamy explained with a sore voice. "The grounders will take care of him".
He went to help with lifting River, only to be rejected by her. A hurt look appeared on his face. "River... I just want to help" he said, sadly.
River couldn't ignore the things he had done the past few days because he'd nearly died.
Her lips curled into a sad smile as she met his eye, "I'm glad you're okay, but don't think this changes anything" she stated before she limped out of the drop ship with Octavia's help.
Arms around each other, the two best friends reached the outside where they were met with a surprise.
"Hold your fire!" A guy on patrol shouted. "It's Clarke and Finn!".
