Chapter 11

I woke up tied to a chair in a pitch black room. Close to freezing temperature. "CHRIS YOU THERE! CHRIS! CHRIS CAN YOU HEAR ME! CHRIS!" No response. A few seconds later, several bright, illuminating white lights turned on and I was in a very enormous room. Probably bigger than my entire property. I looked towards my right and saw Rose, Chris and his gf, Evan, my mom, Michael and his mother somehow, and Claudia. All of them tied up with gags around their mouths and a machine on their head connecting to another gigantic machine approximately 40 feet behind them. There was a very large man with a suit on walking up to me. "You are probably really confused. Let me enlighten you to what is happening. My name is Wilson Crowheart. That machine right there is currently draining all of the power from your friends' and families' brains. It is currently using all of that power it is receiving to build up enough energy to wipe out this city in seconds. And you get a front row seat to witness all the magic. You are also probably confused on how Michael and his mother are alive. Well…we found identical-looking people and…subdued them so that we could ensure you had enough courage to look for your friends and end up here." Said Wilson. *Gulps* "Why? Why do you want to blow up this city? Why would you even want to blow up a city to begin with?" I said. "Well…this city has been full of scum since the day I was born and before then as well. From drug addicts stealing money to buy more drugs to kingpins slaughtering innocent people. Every last bit of this city needs to be annihilated from existence so this world can be a better place." Said Wilson. "Just because this city has its downfalls doesn't mean it is a scummy place. You wanting to wipe this city doesn't make you any better than those kingpins. You are about to eliminate hundreds of thousands from their families, homes, and friends." I said. "I AM BETTER THAN THOSE KINGPINS! THEY SLAUGHTER PEOPLE WITH NO REMORSE! NO HONOR! AT LEAST I AM DOING THIS FOR AN HONORABLE CAUSE AND ENDING THEIR MISERABLE LIVES BEFORE THEY EVEN KNOW IT!" Said Wilson. "How is it honorable to wipe out innocent civilians that actually have lives? That care? That want what's best for their families and this city? And to do so with no remorse? I see absolutely no honor in that." I said. "Sometimes to do what is necessary there are casualties. But this is honorable. This is necessary. Yes, it is sad for those families that have to give their lives but it is for the better." Said Wilson. "Why did you have to take my friends and family though? I don't understand why it had to be us. What's so special about us?" I said. "There are necessary requirements for this machine to power. Without meeting them, this…new age could never happen. Something you probably wouldn't understand with such a little mind of yours. So…in the next 10 minutes, this entire city will collapse to pieces. As for me if you were wondering, I built a bunker inside that dome to your left that leads to a sewer that extends to another city. So you and your friends will not be anymore. Laughs sinisterly*"

While he started at the machine, I just then felt a sharp piece of glass tucked into my jeans. I reached into my pants and grabbed it and started to cut the rope without Wilson noticing me. I cut the rope off successfully and quickly decided to throw the chair into the machine. It broke the glass surrounding the machine and it started to malfunction. "NOOOOOOO! WHAT DID YOU DO!" He said. "I just saved this city bitch." As the building started to collapse I took off all the machines on everyone's head off. "YOU WILL REGRET THIS! TRUST ME YOU WILL!" Said Wilson. "Where am I?" Everyone said. "FOLLOW ME!" I said as we were running towards the dome that the large man told us about. We quickly opened it up and climbed down the ladder.
