The Black Swan

I'm sorry

Madd looked down at me as I tried to fight back tears. He looked at me, anger filling his eyes once more.

"You don't actually pity these mongrels, do ya?" He spat at me.

"I know him. Please Madd don't-"

"Then what does that say bout our country? Eh?" He grabbed my gun and I let it slip from my hands. He backed up walking towards Kyra. He lifted my gun to the back of her head, and before I could run at him, he pulled the trigger. The gunshot rang through the halls and they were followed by Jordan's shrieks of terror. People were crying in classes close by and Madd continued.

"It says we are weak. And we are not weak Riley." He handed me back my gun. "Are you going to lead us or not?" His eyes that used to look at me with such love were filled with anger and hate. The green eyes that looked down on me now. I was afraid, but I pulled it together.

"Leave the boy here. Leave him to mourn. Mharaigh tú a ghrá." I spat back at him.

"You killed his love." A more accurate translation.

"You murdered love." He looked down on me one more time before I turned away down the hall. I called Malley and Bowie to follow me to find Liam.

"KILL ME!" Jordan yelled and I stopped dead in my tracks and walked back to him. I raised my gun to his forehead.

"You bitch- just shoot me-" I could hear Madd walking towards us, so I did what anyone would do. Stuck between two people you love, unsure, I pulled my gun back and hit him with the butt of the revolver. His eyes rolled back into his head and a tear escaped down my face. I turned and Madd looked annoyed. I began to walk towards the other two and Madd took a step towards them.

"LEAVE THEM! That's an order." He glared at me and joined us as I lead them down the hallway. I had to find Liam before they accused him of helping in any of this. They would have him beaten to death in his class.
