Makenna

When he promised me it would all be better, I believed him. He told me all about how I would someday rule the world with him, and look down at our loyal subjects. He said I would be second in command and have a say in everything he did. 

I believed him. I stayed by his side as he brought up an army of fighters, who were mostly kids, I might add, and I didn't wonder if this was a bad idea. Everyone would be listening to him. They would all know peace, instead of war, which has been ruling this world for too long. 

He said the one things we have to do to reassure our victory is take down one group. That was it. One group of four kids who weren't older than eighteen yet. If we just pushed them away and sent them crying, we could do it. Take over the world. 

I didn't question his motives. Not even when he said he was going to send me to meet them and get started on taking them down. I simply agreed and went on to do so. 

It wasn't until I got to their base I began to question everything I knew. Until I walked in and saw them waiting for me, knives in their hands, and a foul look on their faces. My own son and daughter were waiting to kill me.
