Camdyn Gloriana
District 2 Female
66 ADD
Camdyn Gloriana was no stranger to killing. She had to execute a criminal or two over the years as part of her training. It had been easy. The people sent to the Institute for their executions always deserved it and Camdyn knew that their deaths would bring justice.
When the boy from Three attacked her out of desperation, Camdyn immediately went into self-preservation mode. The boy could fight, but he was no match for Camdyn. She sliced his Achilles tendon and he crumpled to the ground, helpless. He looked up at Camdyn and must have seen the grave expression on her face because all bravado quickly evaporated.
"Wait!" the boy pleaded. "Please!"
Camdyn frowned deeply. "Why did you do that?"
"Look, I'm sorry! Come on, I have a family!"
"I do too," Camdyn said.
"I don't want to die."
"I don't either. I'm sorry."
Camdyn raised her sword and the boy let out one final plea before she brought it down hard.
She had just killed an innocent boy, a boy who had attacked her, but who had also wanted to live.
Just as much as she did. Just as much as everyone else did.
Camdyn looked down at her sword, now dripping with blood, and closed her eyes tightly.
This wasn't justice.
"Remember the promise, Ames."
