REBEL

Chapter Four: Kael

I woke up, and I was in an operation room. I was alone, and there was blood everywhere. There were different types on knifes on the table. My head had a huge gash on it, and I think that it was sewed at the top.

My sense of balance was terrible; I could barely walk. When I finally found the door, I collapsed. As if it couldn't be worse, the woman walked in.

She said "Kael, why are you here?" I tried answering, but I couldn't talk. Like my voice was gone. She responded "Oh, yes, that's right, you can't talk. Let me answer for you." She paced around my body on the ground. "You are here because you are the public enemy of the government. I have done this to save everyone. Including you."

This woman was insane. How could taking out my voice and disabling me save me? And where was Marcus?

As if she read my mind, she said "Marcus is in our custody. You will do what you say, or he dies."

What is she trying to do?

She then said "To start, you will become the rebel of our government. You will pick fights, you will burn official buildings, you will fight back."

This doesn't make any sense. She took out my voice, made it almost impossible to walk, and now wants me to rebel against her?

Finally, my voice could let out one word. I said "...Why?"

She said "Oh, isn't it obvious? For the government to kill you."
