Everything Went Dark
Jennan would go first. Jordan didn't have a good reason. She had a reason, but it wasn't good: she just felt like the crowd would be more excited to see a New Roman die than someone who literally just woke up from a coma a month or so again. She told her guards her choice and they led her outside. Addie, Jennan, and Jack were already out there. She didn't look at her friends. Jennan was led up onto the podium. A guard handed Jordan the rope so they could help the other guard get Jennan into the guillotine. When everyone was ready, Jordan looked into the crowd. They were silent. She let go of the rope. The cheers almost drowned out the gunshots--wait gunshots?!
The New Romans had staged an attack! And from the looks of it, Addie had staged it. The guards were taken out. Jordan was left standing alone on the podium. A few New Roman soldier pushed the guards' and Jennan's bodies off the podium and shoved Jordan under the guillotine. And you know who held the rope? Addie. She released the rope.
Viva la revolution.
