WHAM!

The bat knocks the air out of me as I'm hit from behind. How trained is this guard??

No. I can't let him live. Revenge has always been in my blood. It nibbles on my soul and intervenes with my heart. It's payback, world! Payback for taking Edward! Payback for keeping Luke! Payback for threatening Lawrence!

I take off my backpack, which I haven't opened until now. The first thing I see? An AK-47. Wow... Luke made this round easy. It's not really an "adapt your killing to the environment" situation but more like an "adapt your conscience to this world" situation. He's testing me... To see if I have what it takes to be ruthless and to sacrifice one life for another—in this case, for Lawrence.

Maybe it's just a test! Maybe if I take out the gun, cock it, and aim it at the guard, I'll get a text saying "Don't shoot. You've passed the test." Maybe Luke doesn't want me to kill him... just prove that I'm willing to kill him! Ok! I got this! I can "prove" I'm heartless like him!

I pull out the gun, and aim it at the guard's head. It's so dark, he doesn't seem to realize what's in my hand. I wait... And wait... And wait... Why isn't Luke texting me to put the gun down? Why—

I got a text! I scramble to pull out my phone, sure of what it will say.

«What are you waiting for? Shoot!»

… How he’s even watching is beyond me.

Maybe he'll tell me to put the gun down once my finger is actually on the trigger?

I firmly grab the gun with both hands and aim it at the guard's head. My index finger is rubbing the trigger, and I hold the position for a while, expecting a text.

Why is the trigger so slippery?
668Please respect copyright.PENANAhxA8aTNxGr
I try to see how slippery the trigger is, and I end up pulling it...

All I see is a tall, dark, big thing slowly falling backwards, ending with a loud moan and thud.

That’s when my phone decides to vibrate.

«Good job.»

... This was no test.
