"Rise up and take your freedom!" the new young prisoner shouted, raising a fist in the air. So full of life and spirit, so foolish and disruptive. She disturbed the rhythm of the ship. She gave too much hope.
The warden smiled. There was always one prisoner who was a little too feisty and just did not fit in. For the good of the rest of the prisoners, troublemakers had to be eliminated. "Seize her. You know what to do," he commanded.
He watched the girl hauled away to her death. Her lifeless body would be hung over the wall as a warning to others. He knew that swift executions were the only way to maintain order. A terrified scream rang out through the air, cleansing in it's sound. He watched the prisoners' faces return to hopelessness, terror and sadness. Everything was returned to how it should.
AN-I just felt the "ruthless" warden went too easy on Katara. He was freakishly light on her. Considering she tried to rebel twice, she pushed her luck way too far. In "normal" concentration camps like Auschwitz, you die if you breathe wrong. Blame this on too much Holocaust studies.
