Chapter 3: Dead Cristy

He felt... sadistic. He couldn't describe his feeling of happiness while seeing Lenna suffer. He stood there, astonished with himself. He walked away, not daring to say anything at this point. He put his headphones on, and twisted a wire connected to a lens that Lanny would experiment with. Trying to make a makeshift video camera, which he would try to connect to a computer to see the outside world at that moment, but would fail since a Power's Pawn would notice it frequently (somehow, under those face deflector shields) and talk to the camera saying that those kind of tricks will lead to execution. But how could the Power's Pawn find them? He'd taken the warning for granted millions of times now, since nobody could really hurt him, being in the locked up underground base and all.

As the others tried to confront Liam about Lenna, He ignored them,walked up to his chair and grunted as he re-opened the site. He heard a 27 note noise from TV, He quickly slipped on his headphones and gave the others a scowl. He turned back to his computer sets as soon as he heard the Lady-In-Power's voice.

"Okay…" She took a deep breath and tapped the Mic attached to her to see if it was working. "Is this working?"She muttered, and winced, it was probably the bleep-ish sound that affected her earpiece a bit.

"So, I'm not gonna make this long." she said sternly, as if she were teaching young girls how to cook and sip tea, all the things that happened about a hundred years ago. "The new law"

The interviewer took a breath as a precaution since he didn't want to interrupt the Law Announcement. Liam closed his eyes for a few seconds thinking of what the new law would be…

"The New law is..." She paused, and took a breath. She seemed to have hated making laws, but what could she do? She was just following the tradition that started 27 years ago. "No one swears. If one swears, they get stabbed in the throat with the dagger. If the said man doesn't agree with being stabbed, he shall suffer a greater pain so hard that he would wish for himself to die"

Liam raised his eyebrows in relief. Then he stood up calmly and walked into the middle of the Quiverna. Gave a screech, annoying everyone inside.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit" He hopped up here and there to everyone but Lenna's side. He started chanting the word 'shit' like it was a Mantra to summon his probably dead parents.

"The Lady-in-power was a bitch and took everything away from us, talking out swearing too?" He yelled to everyone in annoyance.

"What's wrong, Liam?" Kate asked Liam in a soothing tone. "Why are you doing this?"

Lenna threw her shoe across the room to Smack Liam of the face. Luckily, He dodged it. He kept his eyes on the shoe as it fell behind him, almost banging onto his monitor. He walked over, and Picked up the shoe up from his desk, and lashed it out to Lenna. She didn't dodge the attack, 'must've been her broken rib or hand I guess…' he told himself. The shoe hit her cheek bone. Liam's reaction to Lenna's flinch was a small smirk he covered with his palms to not cause a civil war in the Quiverna ; Afterall, the quiverna was made for peace and there shouldn't be any fights. On second thought, Lenna and He'd already broken the Quiverna's number one rule.

"You'd better keep your shoes to yourself before we shove those back into your face." he said, grinning at her goofily.

Lenna raised her eyebrows and opened to say something, only to be interrupted by Jeff.

"What were you ranting about, Liam?" He glanced around to everyone. No-one seemed to meet his eyes since they probably knew what Liam was talking about. Jeff was the innocent one, never listened to Cristy's tales of how the outside world started turning to ruins, He was too busy listening to music while he painted. No matter how hard they persuaded Jess, He would refuse. Liam never understood why; At first he thought Jess was a bit weak and Hemophobic (blood-phobic) to listen to all of Cristy's Adventures outside the underground bunker they were forced to go to, just to take safety standards to peak. Sorry, 'Lemme correct that word, not safety, it's called IMPRISONMENT', Liam corrected himself mentally as his twin, Lenna glowered right to his face.

"Jeez, stop looking at my beautiful face like that. Your face is already ugly as shit, and that look or your face right now…" Liam's face churned into a disgusted look, "ewww. Makes it harder to even look at that face."

"Anyways, what was all that 'Shit' chanting about?" Lanny muttered under his breath while twisting a metal tube-the size of a pen- in his palms.

"Didn't you hear the New Law Announcement?" Liam asked, giving a two second glance to everybody. "That bitch banned swearing."

"Relax dude, we aren't going outside the Quiverna though," Lanny replied, The tube he was fiddling with fell out of his bony hands.

"But… What about Cristy?" Liam pointed out, "Cristy leaves the Quiverna. She can't possibly go around without swearing!"

Just then, They heard the Quiverna's trap-door opened as Cristy's body lifelessly fell down onto the floor made of white Marble. A gash on her throat spitting out blood as she said her final words.

"Run… L-Liam, take the oth..ers with you" She said, her voice barely audible, tears started crashing down her face. "You… need to go before the..they fin..d you."
