Aftershock

I stood in shock, my mouth agape. He didn't say anything, just waited for me to put the pieces together.

It could be possible, most of us never meet our parents, but its always been someone within the clans. Unless there was a mix-up which also could be possible. I knew he could also be lying, but what purpose would that serve? For some reason, I also felt like he was telling the truth. It would explain why I got more 'special treatment' then anyone else, because he would care for me and not them.

One of the leaders of the insemination process from nymph spoke out, "Impossible! If we had made a mistake, somebody would know!" A bunch of people started nodding and agreeing.

The leading centaur spoke out, "Quiet. Somebody did know," He looked towards me, "Your mother. As she would not let me see you. I thought it was blaspheme. A child should be able to meet her father." He gave me a caring look. "That is when I figured out what really went behind those big walls they build. They turn you into silent soldiers, and you let them. No kid should grow up like that."

This was true, and many times people fell to in love with their children and couldn't finish the process of teaching them. They were normally disposed of.

"When I heard your mother had died, I went to see you again. But, they had fought me the same way they had fought the monsters trying to get to Earth," He paused, a break in his voice. "I just wanted to see my daughter."

Wow. Either he was a really good actor, or he was telling the truth. I could tell almost everyone around me felt bad for the guy, knowing most of them were the cause of his suffering.

He pulled himself together. "Which is why I brought you here. After I found all of you scattered around the quarters and forest I knew something was wrong. But, I only needed my daughter." His voice turned grim and dark, "The rest of you were mere chew toys for my friends. They seem to have quite the bone to pick. Apparently, we could've been allies, but you fools fought us instead of accepting their offer."

Apparently some centaur took this as a sign, and started charging some of the people from the quarters. Screams echoed in the space, as people were ripped apart.

"No!" I started to yell, and run towards Amaya, and Ferren. They were being dragged away into another room, where others went as well, but most of them were slaughtered on the spot. I felt a hand on my arm, dragging me backwards too. When I twisted around to look, it was my supposedly father, bringing me too the room my friends and people closely associated to me were brought.

Amidst the screams, and hollers, blood was sprayed around the room. Some would cry at weak, motionless bodies, while more centaurs went to finish them.

It was a complete bloodbath.

And it was all my fault.
