Chapter EIGHT: Dilemmas With Diego

I walked behind Father, Lei trailing next to me. She took my hand, hers shaking furiously. "Where are we going?" I asked. No response.

I looked at Lei and her eyes were laced with fear. Her hand shook violently in mine and I squeezed it tighter. I didn't know where we were going so I wasn't as nervous.

We walked down the road and took a bend by the bridge. We stopped in front of it and I looked down at the deep plummet into the rushing rapids below us.

"Why are we here?" I ask, Lei clutching onto my arm. "The time has come for you to show your strength." Father says. "My strength?" I ask. "Who's life do you value more? Mine or Eight's?"

"Lei's of course." I answered honestly. "Would you kill me if it meant saving her life?" He asked, looking down. "Yes." I answer back. He grabbed Lei's other arm and pulled her close to him. I looked at him.

"Number Two. I'm giving you one choice. Kill her or I kill you." he said. "Do you value your life more then you value hers?" he said. I looked at him. "You can't make me do this."

"It's to test your strength, Number Two." he grabbed Lei harder. She shook under his forceful grip. I touched the handle of my knife. "Diego..." her eyes welled up with tears.

I pulled the knife out of my pocket and put it to my stomach. I tried to push it down into my stomach, but I felt a strong force stopping me. I looked up and saw Lei blocking her face with her hand, it glowing blue. She started screaming in pain.

"Number Eight! What are you doing?" Father asked. Lei pulled away from his grip and used her other Hand, the shine from her hands reminding me of the color Five creates when he spacial jumps. "I'm not going to let you kill yourself, Diego!" She said, beginning to twist my wrist with her powers.

I slowly dropped the knife and she twisted my arm behind my back. She stepped closer to the edge and I saw Father approach her from behind.

"Lei!" I tried to warn her but it was too late. Father pushed her down the bridge. I watched as she fell to her death. She hit a sharp rock and I heard her muffled scream.

I picked up my knife again and immediately stab myself in the stomach. I drop the knife and fall to the floor, the world around me going black.
