From the Ashes

"This nation was built from the ashes." He told me. I felt my heart beating out of my chest, creating a steady rythym to the rain pounding on the roof. I felt only pure hatred for the man sipping tea in front of me.

"Now you know that I can kill you in two seconds. No one would notice, no one would remember." He said with a bright smile, as if we were discussing a mere garden and puppies instead of the destruction of the country.

"I-" I opened my mouth to reply.

"It would do you no good to deny it, my dear. We know you are their leader, the...Rebels." He said as if he had a bad taste in his mouth. Words have a very vast part in this world, and rebel wasn't one he enjoyed. He murmered unintelligable words, shaking his head in mock pity.

"Yes, I know that you could kill me just like that. But I also know that you know that if you did, my team would remember. And they would kill this..." I gestured around the room,meaning the country and everything in it. "In two seconds. So, you wont kill me." And with that, I walked out, no one stopping me.
