Consequences

Life is struggle. Life isn’t fair. Life is fragile.

As Cindy sat in her jail cell, she felt as empty as she had felt these past 12 days. She remembered it like it was yesterday, she didn’t expect to ever forget it again.

12 days ago hope left her. 12 days ago she returned to a broken home. Having not seen her family in 10 years, she found her mother crying at the kitchen table. She had changed, she looked older, her hair turned completely white.

“Mother, what’s wrong?”

Mother looked up “Cindy? Is that you?”

Cindy endured the hug for a moment before repeating the question: “What’s wrong?”

Mother broke into tears again, this was most disturbing, in her memory Mother was a strong woman. What had changed?
Cindy led her mother back to the table, and set her in a chair. Making a pot of tea – The kitchen looked smaller than she remembered – Cindy asked her Mother to tell her what was wrong.

Part of her wished she hadn’t.

Her brother Johnny, who she never even met, was dead.
Cindy got all the letters he had written her only two months ago, she looked forward to meeting him. Now she never would.
Johnny and his class had been on an excursion when the Vahzilok kidnapped them. Though it wasn’t the Vahzilok that killed him… it was the hero sent in to rescue him.
Eloise Smith. A so called ‘Peacebringer’.

Even though this murderer had been apprehended, and admitted to the act, she was running free. – The court found her ‘not guilty’. Not guilty? She admitted! Mind control? Excuses, only a weak mind could be controlled to such extend. Small things, sure, whole sale slaughter? Only if she was already likely to do so… She was guilty.

This was not the end of the tale…
Her father, who had been through the same training she had just completed, went to search for answers. The Peacebringer claimed to be controlled by a Nictus. The Council worked with Nictus.
That day the waters of Striga were red from the blood spilled by his blade. And his own blood: they never found all parts of his body.

Eloise Smith.
She killed her brother, her lies got her father killed. Vengeance would be hers.

If you have nothing useful to say, you have two choices: Say something useless or stay quiet.

A good start, espcially as the only info I gave you was a family member of one of the kids...

Keep it coming!

There's a few spelling errors and a couple of grammatical problems, but I won't point them out; I'm more interested in the story! You do far better in English and I can in Dutch!!

Haast met het tweede deel!

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

You know... you could have corrected those typos when I send it to you...

And your Dutch isn't that bad
