Chosen By The Moon

Chapter 0203

“I wouldn’t say the growing rebellion was because people were rallying behind me. I’m not a leader, how many times do I have to tell people that.” His head shook again in disagreement, why was he so adamant to get me to lead the masses.

“Your a natural leader, Riley. I’ve seen it first hand, you lead me to help you smuggle things into our district, you’re ideals have swayed more and more people to join the rebellion, and you setting fire to the stage in the district, lead sixteen districts to follow suit. You really don’t realize the impact you have on everyone around you.” Wait… back up, sixteen districts. I had no idea people were uprising like that.

“What do you mean?!” He didn’t say anything else straight away, he just flipped the volume up on the news channel and watched my face drop in shock. He was right, news footage was covering eight districts showing their whipping stage burning in split screens on the old television, and underneath a revolving bar of information was seen. It said clear as day that sixteen human districts so far had committed the arson.

“Holy shit!” I couldn’t contain my shock as I finally watched the new report. “You’re right!” I don’t think he was expecting me to agree with him straight away but he smiled when he saw my eyes begin to flare with an emotion that I assumed was lost to me. “I started that? I started that!”

I thought the king had broken me, I thought I was beyond repair, but I wasn’t. Every crack he had created in me suddenly began to heal as I watched eight separate fires burning on screen.

“I am done…” I stated folding my moms letter up and placing on the side before starting to pace the small corridor within the RV. “I am done feeling sorry for myself and my situation, it’s not like I can change anything that’s happened, all I can do is make sure it never happens to anyone else. Not now, not ever again. Especially when there are people out there, like you and Adrian, who are

willing to put everything on the line in order for me to be free.” I knew what I needed to do, I knew that I had sat and taken things for far too long. “It’s my turn to give something back.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

I stood up and wandered over to the RV door. My moms written words giving me a whole new feeling of hope, while Clarkes spoken words turned my embers once again into a roaring flame.

“What exactly are you going to do?” I looked back at my partner and stared him in the eyes. There was no hint of anything except anger on my face.

“I’m going to kill that bastard of a king.” I opened the door and went to step out but Ryan’s voice stopped me once again.

“How exactly do you plan on doing that?” I thought about for a minute, however my answer came a lot quicker than I expected it to. It was pretty obvious after everything that had happened in the past few months. I had genuinely never felt stronger than I did in that moment, and I was going to do everything in my power to keep myself feeling like that.

“It’s simple really… I am a god damn superhero!”
