My Heavy Burden

𝓒𝓱𝓪𝓹𝓽𝓮𝓻 13

I wake with a start and give Sam a new break in his nose. Glaring at him I say  "this is why I wasn't supposed to fall asleep. you're damn lucky I'm not armed, or you would be dead, not just dealing with a broken nose."

"Ouch, that hurt. But you needed that sleep, especially with what you're about to do. I Also figure you'd want to be awake because we're almost there." Sam says.

"Thanks, but never fucking do that again. Unless of course, you have a death wish." I say as I sit up and look out the window, we are maybe 20 minutes away. I start mentally preparing for the shit that's about to go down. when we are 2 minutes away I tell Sam,

"pullover. I need to change and I'll walk from here. We're on High Ground, I can scoop stuff out from here." After I get out of the car I grab the 2 bags and condense them down to 1. After that, I head up the path I got to a spot where I can scope out where my sister might be. I find her in an abandoned building I look for any guards any traps but I find nothing. I'm sceptical but I arm myself with a couple of guns, a rifle and two throwing knives leaving the rest of the stuff in a hiding spot there. I then walk quietly down a path that is not easy on a path lined with Dead Leaves and twigs. I push open the creaking door as I see my sister sitting in a chair. With her tear-stained face, she looks up at me,
"make this quick," she says.
"Before I kill you answer me this why did you change sides? I won't kill you till you tell me."
I changed sides not long after you left the agency. I realized I wasn't safe anywhere, I couldn't depend on anyone. The agency was just a dangerous trap, just after you left I lost 4 teammates and was contacted by Jacob. It sounded like the best option, bring down the agency and let kids be kids again. We never got a childhood, we got to become child soldiers. So when I saw a way to maybe change it for the future I took it, but now the main reason I took it is dead at my fucking hands. I hope one day you'll be able to forgive me, But I understand if you can't. I also hope one day you'll understand that it was reflex and not conscious. I love you Lilly please make this quick. She breaks into sobs at the end. I bring my handgun up, I take three steps going up to her as I hold it to her head. I take a deep breath and I tell her I love you but I don't think I can forgive you just yet, but I do understand. I hope you find peace. With that, I fire my gun and she's gone. After she's gone I hit the floor and sob, for the second time in less than 48 hours I have cried. This is the most I've cried since I was a young kid. I realize there's nothing more to be done. I get up off the floor Wiping the tears from my face, I put on a stony-face And leave the building as I head back up The Path, grabbing my stuff. when I get to where Sam should be, I find him missing. and a note saying come find me little flower.
