Alaric lets out a low, throaty chuckle. “At least you’re honest.” Chains clank when he pulls on them.
You trace your finger on the double-bladed dagger. The jewels on the black handle are smooth. An icy sensation tickles your skin and sends a chill up your spine.
“Beware of Lorenzo,” Alaric says. “When you’re no longer useful to him, you will suffer a similar fate.”
You reflect on the situation, the stress of the decision heavy on your shoulders.
Uninvited whispers fill the silence.
Do it.
Coward.
It’s you or him.
“You okay?” Alaric asks.
The dagger beckons you…
