Betrayal of the Fittest 2

Liam slowly approached Aaron from behind before placing his hands on his shoulders.


Aaron jumped and spun around. Liam had a huge smile.


"What's up, buddy?" He asked.


Aaron sighed. "Well, for one, you just scared the shit out of me. And two, I'm nowhere closer to getting Lily to like me."


Liam frowned. "Sorry, dude. I'm sure she'll come around. Just give it a few days."


"Thanks, Liam. You've given me someone to trust after...well you know." Aaron looked away.


"I get it. Your...betrayal before. You can trust that I won't do that. Ever." Liam smiled to hide the glint in his eye.


Aaron smiled back.


"Hey, guys!" Lily waved to them from walking beside her father.


Aaron turned around and blushed before waving back. Her father saw and growled at Aaron's

weak attempt. Liam just waved like a normal person.


Lily whispered something to her father before running over to Aaron and Liam. Aaron pulled her close when she arrived and pressed his forehead to hers.


"Wait, Aaron, I thought you said you couldn't get her to like you..." Liam pointed between them both.


Aaron laughed and turned his head to him. "I wanted to surprise you."


"We're getting married in just four days!" Lily exclaimed happily.


Liam's face was drained of any emotions. "Oh, uh, that's great you guys. Congratulations. I, um, have to go now."


Before they could say anything, Liam rushed off with a shadow covering his gaze.

----------

As Liam furiously pushed the door open, the man spun around in his chair.


"Oh, Liam it's you! What's up, why are you so angry?" The man asked.


Liam stormed up to the desk and grabbed the man's collar. "They're getting married in four days! I'm never going to be able to get them away to here! We either need to make the plan be a little earlier than before, or push it back a few days."


The man removed Liam's hand from his collar and sighed. "We'll make it earlier."


Liam stood straight. "Fine. Just make sure to tell the executors there was a change in plans."


"You're not the boss here, Liam. I am. I'll tell the executors when to be-"


Liam slammed the door shut before he could finish.


As Liam fumed and walked away from the building and door, Aaron held a crying Lily in his arms as his tears fell from revengeful eyes.

----------

"Hey, guys..." Liam stopped when he realized Aaron and Lily weren't there anymore.


"Oh, hey Liam," Aaron said from behind him.


"There you guys are! Where'd you go?" He smiled.


"We decided to follow you after awhile," Aaron smiled back.


Liam's smile disappeared. "Oh, I see."


Aaron smiled wider. "Unfortunately, you are very hard to track."


Liam slowly eased his face into smiling again. "I see. Well, come on now. Let's start preparing everything for your wedding."


He began walking away.


Suddenly, Aaron called out behind him. "We've actually...just called the wedding off."


"Huh?" Liam turned around. "You did? Why?"


Aaron glanced at Lily and she simply put her head on his shoulder. Aaron turned back to Liam with a strange look.


"Follow me." He whispered.


Liam raised his eyebrow but walked up the hill toward them. "Okay? Where to?"


"This way." Aaron began walking in the direction of the building.


Liam kept his composure the entire way. A tiny microphone screamed in his ear.


"Why are you already coming back with them? It hasn't even been two hours!"


"Tell the executors it's time. They know what's going to happen." Liam whispered in reply.


As the trio got closer to the small building, Lily began sobbing. Aaron just looked forward and blinked his tears away.


Liam walked quicker ahead of them and went through the door. Aaron took a deep breath and followed, but not after grabbing Lily's arm and pulling her close.


The second Aaron and Lily put a foot into the building, they were swarmed and pressed against the man's desk.


"Well, well, well. Look who showed up." The man teased.


Liam stepped out from a back room. "It's ready now." He told the man.


"Good. Take them to the back." He pointed the people holding Aaron and Lily to where Liam had come out of.


As they passed by, Aaron furiously tried to pull away and lunge at Liam. "Bitch."


Liam just sneered.


Aaron's stomach dropped as he saw all the equipment lining the walls. Swords, guns, and nightsticks.


Aaron kept his head held high as he was thrown onto his knees in the center of the room beside Lily.


"You touch her again, and I'll kill you," Aaron growled.


"Try, I dare you." The guy rolled his eyes.


Aaron leg burned as someone kicked it hard. He tried looking up, but someone else kicked his ribs. Lily cried out as she was drug away. Someone grabbed Aaron's head and turned it to face her. The guy holding her picked her up and kissed her. She screamed. Then he dropped her and lifted a sword above his head.


"No!-" Aaron's scream was cut short as Liam put his hand over his mouth to muffle it.


The man brought the sword down hard on Lily's body. Her pained scream was silenced and life drained from her face.


Aaron widened his eyes and a tear fell from his eyes.


Liam slowly released his mouth and Aaron sagged. Lily's limp, dead body was dragged away.


The man holding Aaron's head let go.


Aaron slowly turned his head in Liam's direction. Aaron's eyes held fear while Liam's held nothing.


"You- you betrayed us. You're a traitor. You made Lily die. You knew I loved her. We were going to get married." Aaron whispered.


Liam glanced down at him and took a deep breath. "I'm not a traitor. I was never on your side."


Aaron looked away from him and turned cold. Men began kicking him over and over. Soon, Aaron's life faded away. His eyes became gray circles and his body became even colder with death.


Liam looked down at Aaron for the last time. Once, everyone left, he went over to him and kneeled, placing a hand on his friend's forehead.


"I'll miss you, Aaron."


This was the last murder mission Liam went on. He turned himself in weeks later and was sent to prison. He made a riot, which failed, and was sent to a much larger and stricter facility. You should remember the rest.
