Rogue Princess
“Now, let her go.”
Before I can react, Lilith pulls a small knife from the inside of her cloak and holds it against Grace’s neck. Tears rush down Grace’s face, but she doesn’t fight against her. “No!” I scream into the night, and I can feel the protective barrier behind me shatter into a million pieces as my emotions rage out of control. Rushing towards Lilith with my sword hoisted over my head I try to drive the sword into Lilith’s shoulder, but a gust of wind knocks me backwards and I fall to my knees. Just as I raise my head I see Lilith run the blade of the knife across Grace’s neck and Grace falls lifeless to the ground.
