REBEL

Chapter Eight: Kael

When I started to walk down my street (Well, it was more like limping,), I started to regret doing it. After all, this is my home. My family lived here. But Marcus will die if I don't do it.

I was carrying a thing of kerosene, and I went up to a house. I splashed the kerosene all over, then got out a match, and lit it on fire.

I heard a woman scream from inside. I paid no attention to it, because I was getting ready to torch the other house, when a man came running at me.

I ran towards him, ready to punch him, when I saw who it was.

It was my dad.

He ran at me with a look that was bad. He looked like he could kill. And he probably would.

I ran up, and punched him straight in the face. He fell down, and I kicked him hard in the side. He passed out right then, and I left him. I know that I was supposed to kill him, but I just couldn't.

I had just started a fire on the second house when the government officials arrived.

I stood up and yelled "DOWN WITH THE GOVERNMENT! WE CAN'T LIVE WITH YOU!"

I ran as hard and as fast as I could to that place to meet the woman, but the government people were faster.They kept on moving as if they had a marathon to run. I was about to stop and fight them when I heard a gunshot go off.

That warning shot almost made me stop, but I just kept on running. The officials were starting to slow their pace. After a while, they finally gave up.

By then, I was already at the room that the woman wanted me in. I went in to see the woman right there, sitting on the operations table.

She said "Well, I just heard that 3 houses have burned entirely to the ground, injuring 5 people and killing 2. Good work.

She said "Well. I just heard that 3 houses have burned entirely to the ground, injuring 5 and killing 2. Good work."

I never thought I would hear that 2 people had died and somebody would say good work.

After that thought, I asked her "What do I do now?"

She said "This time, you will go into a random house, with a random family, shoot this gun" she said while handing me a gun "and injure one of the family members. Also, threaten to kill one of them so you can take one of their most precious items."

This was it. I would have to shoot a person and then steal from them.

I said "I'll do it. For one thing."

"What?"

"I get to see Marcus."

"You have yourself a deal."
