Our Generation

The Next Victims

Six months have flown by!! I still can't believe me, Jesse, and Matt are walking to this. Matt has no idea what to expect. Jesse is acting like everything's fine and dandy. Which is kind of pissing me off. But I'll keep my mouth shut

When we arrived to the base of the Sireth, things looked almost exactly the same. Only this time instead of being watched, I was watching. We quietly took our seats in the audience. And waited for 'the arrival of Rylin'

When Rylin came out the hushed whispers, immediately stopped. She had the entire rooms attention merely by her presence. But she looked terrible. Her swollen belly jutted from her torso. Her face was splotchy and it looked like she had been crying. Her shaking hands grabbed the microphone.

I looked up at Jesse and his eyes were narrowed staring at Rylin intently, I could see the worry laced through his handsome features.

"I have something to tell all of you" she said sniffling.

BEFORE THE CEREMONY

RYLINS P.O.V

" What do you mean??" I shouted in his face, normally I would never have done this to the president. But I couldn't control it.

"I mean exactly what I said, this demon that we have created will be killed". Demon? Really? It's just a baby. I can't believe he's going to kill our child. Wait, attempt to kill. This baby is in my body, and I won't let anyone remove it without putting up a fight.

"I'm going to do it, to rid myself of this sin we put upon ourselves."

"What do you mean your going to do it" I asked backing away.

"I will extract the child from you, myself" he explained.

"Like hell you will" I said venomously. I tried to run, but he easily caught up with me, for being an older man he was still extremely fit. He pulled me into an empty room. I lay there helpless as he leaned over me with a dirty knife.

. . . . . . . . . .

I lay there broken I felt empty, my baby was gone and in its place is a big empty belly with stitches. I cried so long my muscles were sore. And on top of that he told me, I've been relieved of my duties.

He said i have to choose who will be next in line after the new ruler. It can't be Jesse because the new ruler is a boy. He told me my job now was to live quietly among my used to be people. I got dressed in something that wasn't covered in blood. Now I have ten minutes at the ceremony to tell people that I'm not ruling anymore before the new leader comes and begins the introductions.

AHNA'S P.O.V

I listened to Rylin stutter before she finally said, "I'm not ruling anymore"

Gasps could be heard throughout the entire crowd. Jesse was about to make his way up there when Rylin shook her head at him. "I wish I could offer an explanation but I can't" she said shakily. She looked so defeated, I felt so bad for her, tears slid down my cheeks.

"So here's your new ruler" she put her hand out towards the door, and a man probably in his mid twenties stepped out. He looked evil. His smile gave me the chills. He had a nice build, with dirty blonde hair and green eyes.

He spoke with a heavy British accent.

"Hello my lovelies, daddy's home"
