The Darkness Within Us

The Darkness Within Us, by Crystal.
Prologue,

Madison Storm waited outside her parents office. Her parents, Ruy and Vespera, had sent to update her on the plan. The door opened and Ruy stuck his head out.

"You may come in, child." He said. I nodded and walked in. I looked around. There was a chalk board in the room with a map of Eternalia and scribbles all over it. There was a desk next to it, where an elegant lady sat.

"Good morning Darling. Today we have mapped out your path and a plan. If you succeed, you won't die. If you don't, you will die a slow and painful death. Understood?" She looked me straight in the eye.

"U...Understood mother." I gulped.

"DO NOT CALL ME MOTHER!!! CAL ME.....I DON'T KNOW! NOTHING THAT SHOWS YOU'RE MY DAUGHTER!" She shouted.

"Yes moth.....ma'am." I stuttered.

"Vespera, darling! Don't be so mean! We need her!" Ruy said, putting his arm around me.

You may think it's weird for Ruy to act this way, but becoming a father changed him.

"I don't get what you see in her. She's stubborn." Vespera growled.

"Just get on with the plan." Ruy growled.

She nodded and motioned for me to come over.

I stumbled forward.

"Right here is a map of Eternalia. The Council's homes are right there." She said, pointing to a row of homes. "Your mission, whether you choose to accept it or not, is to get rid of three councilors, and Emery's son." She said.

Now a days, councilors were allowed to have two kids.

I nodded.

She continued. "If they are not dead by sunset in three days, consequences will follow. Understood?"

I nodded again.

"DON'T JUST NOD! SAY SOMETHING!" Vespera shouted.

"Y..yes ma'am." I stuttered.

"Good. Now get out of here." She said.

I nodded and hurried out. Instead of killing them, I'd find another way. ''"But Madison! This is your only chance to prove to your parents that you are trustworthy and good enough to keep alive!" '' My mind thought.

Actually, My mind was right. It was my only chance and I was not going to fail.
