Love Unspoken

"Landon's in my hands. Move, or I'll end him!" Abigail snarled.

Everyone exchanged glances, then all eyes locked on Landon.

Landon hadn't said a peep the whole time. Just as they were debating whether to let her pass, he suddenly spoke up, "Don't let her through."

Abigail was floored. She stared at Landon, shocked. "Landon, you scared I won't kill you?"

Landon's face was stone-cold, like he hadn't even heard her threat.

She gritted her teeth. "Fine, you won't let me through? Then we'll die together!"

As she spoke, the knife in her hand pressed closer to Landon, and blood started to trickle from his neck.

His crew freaked out. One of them blurted, "Don't do anything stupid, or you'll regret it!"
