Mallory

Neah hasn’t said anything for about five minutes. Her silence makes me more nervous than when she is talking.

I pour myself another cup of tea and slowly take a biscuit from the plate. No sudden movements, that was my best bet. Or maybe she didn’t believe a single word I said. I really hope that wasn’t the case. It had taken a lot to reveal my history. Only Damien knew what I had told her.

I nibble on the biscuit, watching her. Her eyes weren’t black. Another good sign I hoped, but then again, they hadn’t changed colour when she tortured Roan.

Another few minutes pass and the panic is really sinking in. This was it. I am going to die.

“Okay.”

“Huh?”

“One chance.” The words are slow to trickle from her tongue but she said the thing I least expected. I guess I was more certain than I thought that she was actually going to kill me.
