The Ace's Revenge

Chapter 18: A New Dawn Breaks The Day. (Samuel)

Today was the day, I told them all this fact. They deserved to know honestly. What I won't do is tell anyone other than me, Max, Annie and Luna who is dying. Not even you, the reader. Because yes, I know we all love a good story, So why would I ruin the fun?

"Sam, are you ready?" Luna asked me, I nodded slowly.

I went to the back. It was where we had the hole with a small coffin ready. I rang the bell three times to signal the others. This was going to be a fun day.

"The votes are in, The person has been chosen. All I ask is that you please don't interfere with what we have planned. May the gods bless the soul passing today." I told Lillith and Patricia.

"You are both great people, fighters and keen people. I hope you both know that." I told them. I hated this part. I took a deep breath, feeling Max's hand on my shoulder to help me. With a shaky hand I grabbed a sword.

"Who is dying?" Was all Lillith asked. With a somber face I didn't answer but I looked at the blade.

"Have you ever taken a friend's life?" I asked both of them. "Or one you thought was more than a friend but is really not? Someone you thought you loved dearly then they leave? Have you?" It was a hard question to answer. If you understood the thing that is.

"I have." Lilith answered.

"I have not." It was Patricia. I took a breath.

"Bless your heart. May the gods be with you." I told Lillith. I handed Patricia the blade. "Today you will." Is all I told her.

I looked away with a small sigh. I didn't want to watch this. Patricia was still. I heard her mumbling something to herself. I didn't want to know or ask.

"I'm so sorry..." We're the last words heard before a gasp of pain. Patricia was frozen from what she just did. Willow ran over to Lillith, trying to wake her up. I knew this is why the fates of the Ace's were counted as cruel.

When I pulled myself to look it was a sad sight. A friend holding a limp friend, I knew the pain of loss, I hated inflicting it onto others. The things we did, needed to be done. It was part of the code. The rules we all knew to follow, We couldn't go against them could we? No matter how evil they could be.

I guess it was the play of life, the stage we were all on until we went to our second act in the underground. Willow and Salvito were trying to wake Lillith now. I knew deep down Willow knew she wasn't alive. I went inside, unable to look back at the person dead with blood stains the color of her hair. I sat quietly in the study. We all shared it when mapping or for a quiet peace.

I didn't realize how bad I felt for Willow, My own blood. I felt tears, Me, Samuel Blackblade crying? This was a rare moment I had... I guess I did pick my mother's second name, the one she had. I didn't like my father, he was wrong. Alexander Moshwen. So I took the name my mother got in her second marriage. Blackblade. I couldn't bring myself to tell Willow.

"Sammy? Are you alright?" It was Annie, I didn't answer her. It's nothing against her. I just wasn't in the mood.

I figured she got the memo since she left me alone. I was starting training for everyone so that we could help my sister Willow with her revenge on Axel. I wrote out the plans and everything else I'd be running for them all tomorrow. I wrote out my plans then set my quill back into the ink. Yes it was older but preferred. I eventually just went to my room, it was really late. Almost sunset as I laid down. Going to sleep for the night.

Well trying to. It was sunset, I haven't eat in a while. I decided to go get food. They were burying Lillith. I felt horrible. Willow, Salvito and Mari were crying. Patricia looked sad and numb. I Couldn't blame her. She just killed her girlfriend.

I watched through a window as I ate the bread. I needed something to fill me up bit so I could sleep with some food in my stomach. It was needed for my health.

"Sammy?" Anastatsi asked me as I looked to her.

"Yeah Annie?" I asked quietly. I was never happy after this.

"I'm sorry. I- I'm sorry you had to do this today." She explained as I nodded.

"Not your fault kiddo, just the rules."

But was that fully true? Yes. They were the rules, but did they need to be done?
