Hey I know this isn't much, but I will continue with lots more later on, I just have homework to do! Oh and I was corrected, this should be from Plague which I happily JUST finished. Oh yes I know it is short, but I was rushed, I did just edit a little so thanks for the comments. Please Review!
Sam stood next to Astrid, a tear slipped down his face. He brought his hands up, covering Little Pete's face and looked away. He willed himself to let his power go, to kill his loves brother, but couldn't find the courage in him to do so. He swallowed. His throat was dry, not only from the lack of water, but from the sadness that came from within.
"Go," Astrid whispered, "Do it now." Sam looked down at Little Pete's innocent body that had supposedly brought on the FAYZ; he looked away once again and let all the power out of him. A flash of light shined brightly then disappeared. He couldn't believe he just did that, he had killed Hunter before, but that was different, he was dying a painful death. Yet he knew that killing Little Pete would save the others. He couldn't bring himself too look at the body of his girlfriend's brother.
How had he just killed an innocent person? Questions swarmed his mind. The smell of the burning body wafted towards his nose. He cautiously looked over, to find a pile of ash. Astrid dropped to the ground, and hugged the ash, burying her face into it. Tears streaming down her face, her small body shaking out of control, she curled up next to what used to be her brother. She couldn't believe that she allowed this, but she needed to end this. This was the second time that she willingly put her brother in danger. She regretted it instantly, yet she knew that they all would grow old in the FAYZ if it weren't for that simple act of murder. Her tears making the ashes clump closely together. She just let her feelings out, not caring that Sam was right there, it was her beloved brother whom she just murdered. Sam knelt down and touched the ashes; at least this one did not have to be buried. Then came another flash of light, the ground sent a vibrating motion through the ground. Sam's head shot up to see a crowd of people staring back at them. A trick. A trick of the gaiaphage, he knew that was what it was. Then his mother appeared from the crowd, still as beautiful as ever.
"Sam?" she asked softly, "Sam!" His mother raced through the rubble right up to same and embraced him, it felt good to be hugged again. It took a second for Sam to register that it was his mother, hugging him.
"Mom?" He asked skeptically. Astrid's head shot up, her eyes locking Sam's for a second. A simple act of murder had saved them, but for how long? Astrid looked down at the pile of ash, and scooped some up into her hand, and slipped it inside her pocket.
"Oh, Sam! I regret everything that we put you through!" Sam's mother was crying now.
"What are you talking about?" He asked.
"Th-th-they said that everything would turn out find, that no one would die!" She said between sobs, "but it was hell, everyone dying, no one living. I thought it was for the best, but no." She continued to weep.
"You knew about this?" Anger was flooding into him now. His mother looked up at him, her eyes swollen from the crying. How could his own sweet mother do this to him? He couldn't believe it, she knew that people would die, yet she willingly let this happen.
"Yes, yes I did." She whispered "I did not know when, but I knew it was going to happen, the dome and all. I thought it was for the best."
"So you intentionally put your children through hell?" he questioned.
"Yes, but Sam-"
"I don't care, you were willing to have so many people die, and do you know what it was like to have everyone you know die right in front of you? Watching their lives being sucked right out of them? Or what about watching your best friend being eaten by a horse sized bug? Or the bullies running the town, and having your worst enemy become impossible to beat? Or even the feeling to kill a person? The person you were friends with just days ago, or even if they weren't friends, you knew that they had a family but you knew you had to kill because they were going to kill you? I tried my best to help people, to keep this from happening, but no matter what there was always someone trying to kill a mass of us.
People didn't care about peace it was kill or be killed. I have been starving for who knows how long, and same with little kids. So many of us, because of you guys, have been murdered because of you.I can't believe you would let this happen." He was yelling now, his voice draining out all the murmur of the surprised people still standing by the dome line. Sam pushed his mother away, and grabbed Astrid and turned and walked away. He no longer needed, her he could survive the FAYZ without her, so this should be no big deal. He was walking away with his family now.
