The Purge: Secret
Chapter 1
"This Purge is predicted to be the most successful Purge yet." I announced to everyone in the car. "I'm eradicating as many of those those low lives as I possibly can tonight."
"Yes, I heard that news as well. I don't think twelve hours is enough," My best friend Tyler sat behind me as I drove up the street to our shared condo. His girl Tessa sat close next to him and he kept a protective arm around her. Tessa was in her third trimester at seven months pregnant. Tyler immediately proposed to her the night after she told him the news. He was so happy and I hate to say that his love for her has grown each day since then... huh, that bastard.
"Oh Cam,is that Mrs. Cray ...over there,walking her dog?" Cassie asked me from the passenger seat. She had a finger pressed on the glass of the car in a childlike manner, as she pointed to the elderly woman.
No shit, I thought to myself..Honestly Cassie you've met and seen that old bag how many times...why do you have to ask such an obvious question, when she's the only person you'll meet in your life that wears the same floral gown 24/7.
"Yeah, that's her." Tyler replied patting my shoulder from behind. He knew I didn't want to be with Cassie anymore. She was a fun ride for a while, but I've grown bored of her. We've been together for three years now, but a few months ago things changed...she changed. And I didn't want her anymore.
"You want to be polite, and-"Cassie started but I cut her off before she could finish.
"No...I do not feel like being social. I want to get back home as soon as possible and prepare for tonight."
"Do you guys know where you're going to hunt tonight?" Tessa asked. Her voice was so angelic to listen to. She's possibly the only woman in the world that could make pregnancy look good. She was stunning...glowing with radiant beauty.
"Downtown." I answered.
"Yep, its only a twenty minute walk. Ten if we run, so I'll be close by if anything happens." Tyler reassured.
We had driven up the driveway by now and reached the garage. We live in a wealthy part of town. In the upscale condos that overlooked the city. We each were born into wealth and maintain high paying jobs that has allowed us to live this fortunate life. We, on this day only, are the Hunters of this country. Given the right, to hail our duties as Americans and annihilate the 'Low-Life Leeches' in our country. These people were nothing more than mere animals wearing skins of humans...pigs, that did nothing to uphold and help our county's prosper. They don't deserve to live here in this great country..they don't deserve to live at all!
"I'll stay with you Tess through the Purge..We'll be fine." Cassie rubbed Tessa's arm and it sickened me to my core to witness this act of affection. Cassie touching someone as valuable as Tessa. Cassie came from a different family when it comes to riches. I however, did not know until a few months ago, after years of dating. But she told me her secret...the secret her family has been hiding from everyone for a year.
You shouldn't have told me your secret Cassie... you should have left me alone in my blissful ignorance...for the moment you told me the truth...was the moment I stopped loving you.
