Adam's POV

"A sacrifice?! From your own clan?!" Zeyu nods, "You can't be serious. Is this some sort of test?"

"In a way, yes. I want to see how well you obey our orders. Choose."

"What, no! I-I can't! I won't!" Taking a glance towards Edith she mouths the word STOP. Looking back at the Zeyu, he forms a small sly smile.

"Fine then I'll choose." Without even looking at the crowd he points towards Edith. My eyes widen. "Edith Wells." She takes a step forward.

"Yes Zeyu?" She doesn't meet his eyes. Is that a rule among the community or is that an Edith thing?

"Relax you are not chosen. Where's your friend Rosalind?" She looks up suddenly in horror, and the Zeyu's smile widens.

As if on cue, who walks in the door? It's Roo.

"Nevermind, she's right here. Rosalind, won't you join us up here?" As she starts walking through the crowd Blake turns his back and steps up to the table. I watch as he seems to be pouring a little bit of each type of blood into an empty glass. He swishes the glass around, blending it together into a very dark red.

She doesn't seem to have noticed this act. Getting on stage she looks to me and Edith in question. We return her look with panicked expressions.

"Yes?" She asks.

"Rose, you seem a bit pale today." Suddenly walks in a group of people; a young teen girl, a woman and a man, all three are dressed formally. "Ah just in time, Rosalind your family is here." Oh no.

"Adam, there's been a change in plans, we will finish your ceremony at a later date. You may go." I walk down and stand by Edith. "Rose," he gestures towards her and hands her the glass. "Drink this. You'll feel much better."

"Sir I assure you, I'm perfectly fine I-"

"Drink." Edith looks at the glass puzzled.

"Adam," she says softly, "did you see what he poured in the glass? It's darker than the rest of them."

"A little of each type, I think."

"Oh god." She brings her attention back to her friend. Roo hesitantly brings the cup to get lips. "Rosalind NO!" Edith jumps onto stage (literally) and lounges for the glass, but is grabbed by a guard. Roo spins around to look at her, almost dropping the cup doing so. Edith struggles against the guard as Zeyu Blake tells her to drink once again. I decide to take action.

"It's filled with each blood type!" Honestly I have no idea why Edith freaked out about it but it must be something serious if she's fighting this hard to stop her. Gasps resonate from the crowd once again but no one bothers to do anything. Zeyu orders her to drink. This time she refuses, shaking her head no.

At the snap of his fingers three guards approach her. He grabs the glass, the men hold her, tilt her head back, and hold her mouth open. Zeyu starts to pour it down her throat. A man I can only assume is her father rushes them. He doesn't make it far before he is stopped by more guards.

He starts fighting and throwing punches but is given blows that bring him to his knees. Finally he pulls out a gun. Without hesitation the gun is grabbed, aimed and shot once at his chest and stomach. Screams come from the mother, sister (I think), and other members of the crowd. A muffled cry comes from Rosalind, along with coughing and choking as the last of the drink is forced down her throat.

Edith is in tears. And soon so is Roo after she recovers from the choking. The exits are blocked when people try to leave. I consider using magic but my family's life is on the line. I cant.

Roo is held back by one of the guards that helped force blood down her throat. Her body starts to shake with what I guess is rage. Afterwards you can see her pupils dilate first covering the whole iris then immediately dilating to specks. Soon more guards have to hold her back. Zeyu's smile leaves his face as he steps back a bit.

All of a sudden all of the guards rush her because she had pinned the first three. They were all on the ground in a matter of seconds. People start fleeing seeing as there are no more guards blocking the exits. Edith is frozen where she is with her hand over her mouth. Rosalind's mother is kneeling over her husband's body covering the wounds with both hands. The sister is sobbing as her mom is telling her to go home. She does this.

The guards slowly get back up and actually start putting up a fight but it's no use, she knocks them down again and runs. And I mean runs. She was barely even a blurry flash she was so fast. She was gone and so was her father's body, leaving her mother in a frozen heap of shock, her hands covered in blood. 

I grab Edith's arm. "We have to go come on."

"But-"

"You saw! She's not here, we'll find her. Now let's go!" We run out the door with normal human speed...My mind still can't comprehend what's going on.

So sorry, this is only a snippet (an 888 word one lol) of what the next chapter will hold. Not completely sure what else will happen and it's just a draft so don't kill me...especially after we just abandoned the mom like BYE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO CHECK ON YOU BUT YOU'LL BE FINE XD! Also not only is this a draft, please remember I'm 15 and still learning. My writing skills aren't great but they aren't bad. I admit I still have a lot I need to work on and learn. This is my first book, and I hope you like it so far. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS! Feel free to PM me or comment so more, whether they're negative, positive, or just pure advice, I'll take all you have to offer in order to become better. 

IMPORTANT NEWS: This story will be put on hold for awhile because I want to start my own Undertale Fan fiction. Sans x Frisk perhaps. You'll see! Here's something I absolutely love to bits! Kind of a trailer but you know...NOT because it's not my video (credit goes to the owners!) I'll post more info later!! Any cover ideas?
