The Lament of Love

Prologue

I awoke to the sounds of chirping. It was around 5:00am. If I remember correctly, I hopped out of bed and ran downstairs, aware that it was my birthday. I ran to my twin sister (Midnight); she was like my other half. I loved her loads. Me and Midnight spoke for a while, but soon enough my mum came over and wished us a happy birthday. 

My mother told me and Midnight to follow her. We of course listened and followed her to the garden, where my father was waiting for us. I looked into his eyes as he handed me something. I was very taken back by his gift to me. But I didn't mind...

After playing around with his gun for a bit, I decided to pretend to shoot at a tree.

I thought the gun would be empty. I mean, why would you give a child a loaded gun?

I aimed and fired.

The minute I heard a scream followed by deafening silence, I knew I had made a mistake. Shock lingered in the air. I looked at my sister...and then forward. I felt my heart drop as I stared at a guard, who was laying on the ground. Not moving.

soon enough I was taken by guards and thrown into a room..

And that brings me to know.
