Chapter 104: The Ledge!

Lottie POV

I found myself utterly dumbfounded, unable to speak or move. I felt like my brain was still playing catch–up with my eyes and ears. This just couldn’t be happening; how had Knox, the cheeky chappy who loved life and everything in it, even be contemplating this? Especially when he had done nothing wrong! Why

didn’t he see that?

I watched Knox glance behind him into the darkness and followed his line of sight while Kane edged closer to Knox in what I knew was a crazy bid to get that dagger off him, a blade I knew was pure silver from the way it glistened in the light. I held my hand out to Kane to get him to halt because Knox seemed manic, and I did. not want him using the blade in frustration without meaning to and things being unsalvageable.

Out of the corner of my eye, I watched a shadow in the darkness move, a glimmer of red flashing, the shade I had seen already tonight. Twice! Once in Havoc’s eyes and once in… Astaroth!

“Knox, if I come up to you, will you hurt me with that thing!” I asked, nodding towards the dagger. I watched him look at it and then back at me, his eyes popping, enraged that I would ever think he would harm me. And I didn’t, not even for a second. But I had to play my role, and I had to play It convincingly.
