luminance: Great backstory. I found two typos, though.
 "he stopped going to school and no longer walked to to or back from ballet practice."
and "You are either with us or against us.
If it is the former then you will be killed along with them!”
The first was probably supposed to be "her to and back from", a the second should be "the later". Otherwise he wants to kill those with him and spare those against him.
Approved, though.
