Olivia's POVOne moment I was lunging for the blade, my fingers closing around the hilt to knock it away from her. The next, Vanessa's hand closed over mine, twisting my grip, pressing the handle into my palm. I barely had time to register what she was doing before the door burst open.Cyrus rushed into the room with the healer at his side. His eyes went from me, to Vanessa's bleeding arm, to the knife in my hand.His face turned cold.I dropped the blade immediately, unable to hold on any longer. It clattered against the floor, the sound sharp and damning in the sudden silence."She put it in my hand," I said, my voice shaking but clear. "Cyrus, she cut herself and she put the knife in my hand. I was trying to stop her.""What happened?" he asked, but he wasn't looking at me.

I'm sorry.""T
