The Fourth And The Final

what a birthday

I pushed our makeshift door open and look around for guards before I start walking down the streets of Calastia.

I pass a family who's walking down the cobblestone streets hand in hand and memories from when me, mom, dad and Missy used to do the same thing starts flooding back, I really miss mom and dad.

I walk towards a cafe where I had seen a sign that they were looking for new workers.

As I push the door open the smell of fresh bread hits me in the face and I take a deep breath embracing it. I could work here.

I walk up to the death where the woman who own the cafe is sitting.

"Hi, I saw the help needed sign outside and I wondered if you still need someone to work here" I say, putting on a smile.

The woman takes one look at me before saying "no" and the  she looks back down at the magazine she was reading.

"Are sure, I can even clean the toilets" I offer desperately.

"Look young woman, you won't get work here, we don't need more people like you, just go" she says and then she returns to reading her magazine.

"Okay" I say before I start walking towards the door, as I do a beautiful you blonde walk through the door and walk up to th edesk and says, "I say that you're searching for a new worker"

The woman behind the desk looks up and says, "here hired, you'll be baking bread starting tomorrow"

The audacity of that woman, I think angrily before walking out of the bakery.

The rest of the day goes by mostly the same, I got rejected from every place I asked.

It was now the afternoon and I had lost all hope.

I walked down the streets when I heard two women talking.

"Did you hear?" the woman on the right said.

"Hear what?" The woman on the left asks.

"They found a girl with the disease, and they're going to exude her this afternoon on the big street." The woman o  the right says with an exided tone.

"Oh we must go watch, this never happens anymore" the woman on the left says happily.

Missy, is all I can think.

What if they got Missy.

I start running down the streets towards the big street when I suddenly trip and fall on the uneaven cobblestone.

I sit up, my wrist was in a weird angle and it was pulsing in pain, but I needed to get to the big street.

I ignore the pain in my wrist as I keep running. About 10 minutes later I get to the big street, there was already a gathering of people around the stage in the opening in the middle.

I start making my way to the front of the  crowd, I felt the tears prickeling my eyes.

I heard a scream and I look to the left where I see two guards dragging Missy as she was screaming and crying.

"MISSY!" I scream and I start running towards the guards with tears in my eyes.

"Lilith" her weak voice says back, she coughs and blood comes up from her mouth.

"Missy, Missy stay" I'm now sobbing as I stumbled towards her and the guards.

"Stay away kid" a guard says pushing me to the ground.

I land on my wrist and pain bursts through it and I scream out in pain and sorrow for my sister.

The guards drag her up on the stage and put her head in the right position for cutting her head off.
