13: The Beast Weapons

Betrayal:

Sam returned to the Castle with an army behind him. They carried yet another glass jar and inside was yet another Beast Weapon. He opened the doors to John's office and was shocked to see Sarah sitting in John's seat at John's desk. "What's going on? Where's John?" He asked and Sarah smiled and say forward in her chair; "John's gone. I am in charge now. John was not in his right mind to rule over the district to I overthrew him. Simply as that General." She looked at the glass had and stood; "Is that the next Beast Weapon? Well done, General. You are good, aren't you? Hmm, well we'll lock it up in the vault along with the other Beast Weapons." John stared at Sarah as she glid around the room towards te glass jar; "What did you do?" She stopped smiling and stood up straight, looking into Sam's eyes; "I did what was best for the inhabitants of this District. John wanted to postpone defending the district against the Pure attacks. I wanted to seek help for this district. I mean, can you not see, General? Are you blind? With every passing hour, this district is losing; ammunition, food, water, weapons, soldiers, medicine, need I continue? But John being the blind idiot he was, only wanted to kill a mad man who is unstoppable. So I showed him what Jackel did to his dead brother as a warning and he ignored it, argued to my face and said he didn't care about the attacks, about the war. He was blinded by the sheer anger and hate he has for Jackel that he forgot how to rule his people. Now I rule. Things have changed. You are no longer to hunt the Beast Weapons, you are to protect this District from the Pure! Only after the Pure are defeated, are you to continue your orders John have you. Do you understand General?" Sam just stared at her and whispered; "You're crazy." She turned away, looked at the window and replied; "Maybe so but I am a strong woman. I will do whatever it takes to defend my people. War is upon us general. We will have to do everything in our power to protect our district, our home. If you have a problem with that, then you may leave. Lead a fucking rebellion if you must, but I will not back down from protecting the poor and the innocent." Sam gritted his teeth and pulled out his handgun and aimed at her head. "Oh dear, how very childish of you general! Are you plannin on shootin your own leader? Wow, ok. Go ahead. Got the guts, general. Need I remind you of the last time you put a gun to an innocent person's head. What happened? Oh yes, your wife and children were stabbe in their sleep and by who? Oh yes, that's right. It was you! You were hypnotised by a trained hypnotist to kill your wife and daughters. Oh but this time, you have nothing to loose, do you? You low life piece of..." She was shut up when the hilt of the gun smashed into her jaw and Sam shouted; "Fuck you!" She rubbed her jaw and replied; "Haha. It's funny, seeing you get angry. I remember when you lashed out at your wife and beat her right infront of me and your daughters. The fear in their eyes, and you didn't even care. See that's why no one loves you, why no one ever will. Because you are a pathetic, piece of garbage that has no heart or soul. A tin man with no heart to love with, no brain to make your own decisions, but just a simple tin man made to follow orders. So follow them." She smirked and he punched her nose. She fell backwards and he kicked her. And again, and again. But then when he realised he could just finish it with a single gunshot, two men came from behind and grabbed him. Dragging him away, but still in the room. "I like you general. I do. So, I will give you a chance, you can either; help me defend our home and our loved ones inside our district or I kill your secret wife and son infront of you and then kill you afterwards. Your choice." Sam nodded and looked at Sarah and whispered back, croaking, tears rolling down his cheeks; "Where do we start?"
