The Dead war.

Chapter Eleven: Worry and Hope

I sat at my desk for what felt like days. The pain was crippling. I knew what my mother was talking about when I lost my two kids. The only thing that consumed me was my thoughts and my pain. I finally walked outside with my bow and arrow and walked over to the training course and began shooting off arrows. I felt the tears sting my eyes. My eyes began to burn and before I knew it my tears blocked my vision. This was a pain I had never felt and I didn't know where it was coming from. It felt like my heart was being torn in a million different places. I felt my knees were too weak and suddenly I went on the ground. My knees impacted the ground with a snap, my hands braced myself and I was on all fours on the dirt while the tears poured from My eyes. I had no reason for this immense pain but it was there and it was nothing like I had ever felt before. I Stood and ran far away from the base. I kept running until I couldn't anymore. I stood there and turned my face to the sky and slowly fell to my knees a loud sound erupted in the trees I hadn't noticed but it was me. I was screaming a scream that shook the trees in the forest. My entire life was a lie. Everything I had known and loved was a lie, my father was a lie, my safe kingdom was a lie, my father destroyed the world and destroyed my world along with it. He destroyed my kids. The only thing I knew was the only rock I had was my family and it was ripped From beneath my feet. I felt like the ground was pulled from my feet and I had no control over where I landed. I was falling with no knowledge of where I was to land.

I felt arms embrace me tightly and I grabbed the persons arms they held me tightly as I sobbed the tears tearing from my eyes. I sat there and cried for hours before I finally calmed down. I looked up to see mercy. She was holding me and tears burned her skin.
"So you heard?" She said tearfully.
"Hear what." I said. She took a deep breath and her breathing was shaky and shallow.
"Nathaniel, he was shot by Prophis for trying to retrieve Oliver. For real this time we don't think he will make it." She said, Her hands were shaking and her face was pale. And then screaming I hadn't realized that the screams were mine. I was screaming again. Everything was happening, my father being evil knowing I have to kill him worrying about my daughter and now Nathaniel. My work was collapsing faster than I could keep up. I jumped out of her arms and ran as fast as I could back to the base. I walked inside to see everyone holding each other. Merlia was sobbing Terrence was a mess. My mother was wiping her eyes, everyone looked up to see me and my mother gave me a look. I knew it meant it was true.
"No. No it's not true no it can't be!" I screamed running from room to room before I saw it. There was Nathaniel lying in the bed he was covered in wires and tubes. I walked into the room and sat next to his bed holding his hand. I leaned over and kissed his lips. It may have been the wrong thing to do but my best friend since I was a baby was gonna die and there was nothing I could do. I held his hand to my chest.  And then the sound. The machine next to him made a horrible sound and the line went flat. Terrence ran in and screamed as his wife pulled him out of the room and Melody walked in. She turned everything off and pulled the covers over his head.

"Time of death, 1:20 pm." She said with tears in her eyes. She looked at me and tried to grab my hand, I yanked my hand away and grabbed my boots and a gun which I had taught myself to use and my bow and arrows and my leather jacket. I was angry, the pain and Sadness was filled with untamed rage. I was angry and I was pissed off. I marched out the front door while everyone yelled after me to stop. I walked out the door and slammed it. Mercy ran to catch up with me.

"Where are you going!" She yelled.
"To have a word with my future father in law." I replied with clear anger and bitterness in my voice.

"This isn't going to solve anything." She said, grabbing my arm. I yanked my arm away and spun to look at her. My face was contorted with such rage she backed up.

"I am going to solve this the way I choose to solve this. So stay out of my way." I replied. I continued to walk and she caught up with me.

"Then I'm coming with you. He is my brother too and if you're going to talk to whoever did this then I'm coming." She said the rage of knowing her brother in law was dead caught up to her. We pulled our masks up around
Our faces and continued to Prophis once we entered the walls I didn't restrain myself I let go. I opened fire and so did Mercy. All of the guards I'm the front wall where dead, we continued to walk, shooting every guard who tried to stop us. We entered the palace and I immediately marched to the ball room where I knew the king would be holding his annual ball. It was 9:30 pm so I knew everyone would be in here. We walked in and fired the gun into the sky. Everyone screamed.
