Kennedy's POV


I rested my body against the wall of the dropship as Clarke, Bellamy, Finn and I stood around Charlotte. 

"Why Charlotte? Why?" I heard Bellamy plead with her. I knew he was hurt by this. Although he hadn't known Charlotte for long, he really had taken her under his wing. Much like he did with me I guess. 

"I was slaying my demons, like you said," she replied, crying hysterically. I pushed myself off the wall and walked towards her. 

"You know that's not what he meant Charlotte," I told her softly. I knew she knew that too. 

"I know, but I didn't know what else to do. I wanted them to stop!" she cried, her voice cracking which broke my heart a little bit. Although what she did was so wrong on so many levels, I understood her and the fact that she was sorry. 

"Well you didn't have to kill Wells to do that!" Clarke spat. I knew she would be angry about this, especially after the revelation of what Wells did for her and Murphy's almost execution. 

"We told you not to go public Clarke," I said, turning to face her. 

"Are you saying this is my fault? Because I don't remember needing the opinion of a child," Clarke argued with me. 

"OK, just everyone calm down," Bellamy spoke, lifting his arms to separate us. Finn remained silent. "We all agree that Murphy should not be allowed to handle this situation." I nodded my head immediately, Finn shortly after and Clarke huffed, but did nod in agreement. 

"OK, so Clarke, I want you and Finn to hide Charlotte somewhere. Me and Ken will handle the situation here and once everything is calm enough we can deal with it," Bellamy delegated. I smiled at him and stepped towards Charlotte, rubbing her back soothingly. She has had one of the toughest times compared to a lot of people here, including me, Clarke and Finn. Clarke nodded, refusing to speak and Finn mumbled an agreement. 

"Protect her," Bellamy spoke, pointing harshly at Clarke and Finn. 

"Stay safe," I said, smiling reassuringly at Charlotte. Quickly, Finn, Clarke and Charlotte ran out of the back exit, escaping completely out of sight before Bellamy opened the dropship door. As expected, Murphy and everyone else was waiting right outside. Murphy's wounds looked worse than before, the time we were in the dropship allowed the blood to dry on his face and bruising and swellings were beginning to appear. The wounds made him look angrier. Maybe this wouldn't be as easy as we thought. 

"Where is she?" he spat, scaring me. 

"That's not for you to worry about," Bellamy replied. 

"You all wanted to build a society? Then let's build a society, bring her out!" he shouted. 

"She's not here Murphy! You don't get to decide what happens to her! Charlotte isn't a dick like you Murphy!" I shouted back, feeling protective over Charlotte. Although Murphy was innocent of this crime, he wasn't innocent. 

"And who does then, baby? You? Look what happens when the little kids make the decisions. Go make some daisy chains and leave the big decisions to the rest of us," Murphy barked. That kept me quiet. 

"She's right Murphy. You don't make these decisions. When you've calmed down, we can all make a decision together, as a camp, on what happens," Bellamy spoke, addressing not just Murphy, but everyone listening. 

"How about we decide right now? Who wants to see that little rat get strung up?" Murphy shouted. A few people raised their hands but the majority definitely disagreed with him. Murphy's face contorted slightly and it looked as if hurt flashed across his face. To be honest, I don't blame him. 

"I see. So, you are all fine stringing up me, an innocent guy, up but won't do the same to the real killer," he spoke slowly, quieter than before. "Well thankfully, I don't need your permission."

Murphy grabbed a log and held it over the fire. "I'll find her and deal with her myself! Who's with me?"

The several boys who raised their hands at Murphy's questions walked over to him. I stormed over towards the group of boys whilst Murphy had his back to me. I don't know what I was planning but I just wanted to hurt him. So badly. However, my terribly though out plan was stopped when one of the boys pushed me harshly towards the ground. My body snapped to the floor due to the surprise of the push and my head bounced off the floor. 

"Kennedy!" I heard Bellamy shout and run towards me. I groaned and rubbed the back of my head as Murphy chuckled. 

"I'm going to kill your baby, baby!" he spoke and laughed in a way that made me want to punch him before him and his group sauntered off out of the camp. 

"We need to stop him!" I said, scrambling up. 

"Already ahead of you," Bellamy spoke, passing me a spare knife, longer than my own. 

"Never a dull moment," I mumbled, charging quickly out of camp with Bellamy and slamming the gate shut afterwards. 


A/N

Question: What show related works would you like to see?

Answer: Not going to lie, I would love to see a spin off season or even just episode about what happened with Spacekru when they were in the ring during the second apocalypse just because it interested me about the differences between getting there and after the time skip, like what happened with Emori and John specifically. And how the hell did Echo and Bellamy get together!!! I know there was a bit in the premiere episode of Season 5 but still!
