The Election

(I normally write around 1000-1500 words, so this is shorter for me because it was an introduction to a story I gave up on. I might try to make it longer in the future)

28/04 - Hey this is future me leaving a note, if you're reading this now I recommend reading the later stories in this oneshots book, starting from 'My home becomes my grave' since I'm a lot more proud of those ones, especially since I changed my writing style. Enjoy :)

The dark, looming figure stands proudly, tapping the microphone and clearing his throat.

"Well," his deep and charming voice fills the silent room, echoing loudly and filling every possible space. "that was pretty easy."

Schlatt grins widely and maniacally, chuckling with confidence and cockiness. On Schlatt's right, stood his Vice President Alex, known as Big Q. Black glasses hiding the expression in his eyes, but his confident posture already said enough. He chuckles alongside the president, a high pitched and squeaky noise escaping. On Schlatts left, stood George, the other VP. He wore obnoxiously big white glasses, and a huge shit-eating grin upon his face. Clearly proud of his betrayal to his own country, so he could have power in another. All three wore black suits with red ties, for authory or conformity, Tommy couldn't tell.

"And you know what I said, the day I returned to this land, and the day I announced I was running," he turns his gaze to Will and Tommy. "in an election which I won by the way." Tommy scowls at him, but his expression is replaced with worry when he see the devious expression in Schlatt's eyes. The look of malice sends shivers down his spine. Fear and panic pulse through Tommy as he turns to Will, examining the mixed expression plastered on his face. One of determination, fear and disgust. He was in pain, yet was trying to put on a brave face. Schlatt continues.

"I said things were gonna change. I looked every citizen of L'manberg in the eyes and said you listen to me. This place will be a lot different tomorrow. Let's start making it happen." His evil grin widens, the fire behind his eyes burning bright, causing Tommy to turn away, looking to Will for reassurance. He gets nothing and reluctantly looks back up to the new President.

"My first decree, as the president of l'manberg, the EMPEROR, of this great country," he announces each title with so much pride, Tommy fears his next words. "Is to REVOKE, the citizenships, of William Soot, and Tommy Innit. GET THEM OUTTA HERE." he raises his hand, pointing towards the woods. Fear causes Tommy to shake violently, and Will finally speaks.

"Tommy we've gotta go, now." He nods and turns back to the rest of the audience. They're standing now, crossbows and swords at the ready. Will grabs Tommy's arm as he begins to run, and Tommy quickly get the memo and chases after him. Will lets out a small scream from beside him as they run, and Tommy notices the arrow lodged deep in his right shoulder. Will doesn't pay it any mind and continues running, so Tommy does just that. He runs.
