Traitor to the Cause

by Keeper of Tomes

Once a traitor, always a traitor." The words bit. They stung his skin, like needles. Millions of tiny, razor sharp needles. He glared at the speaker with needless fury. And the speaker glared back...Drabbles, again. It has a plot, this time!

31. Repeat, Repeat

The boy can't walk; somethings wrong with his leg.

So he holds him up, and they move as fast as possible, down the hallway, to the open hatch.

Another beam crashes. It's a close call.

"You all right?" The kid looks at him strangely.

"Fine. Whatever. Let's go."

They disappear down the hole, to the waiting ship below, and behind them, the final beam falls to the floor. The walls collapse on themselves, and the palace crumbles.

Strange...

The last time it happened, he had been trying to stop it. And now, he was the cause.

Weird, how history could be so similar, yet so different.
