INJURED

David walked to take the knife from Agust's hand, and he walked over to Louisa. Louisa's eyes stared at the knife, and her feet stepped back as David continued to approach her. Louisa finally stopped where she was. Isn't this the end of her and David's story? No matter how hard Louisa wanted to pull David out of the dark pit, if David weren't willing, then hER efforts would be in vain. If, with her life, all of David's revenge was avenged and no more lives were to be lost, then she must be prepared to die.

Louisa's eyes finally dared to look into David's eyes without fear. Her body trembled at her natural response. She knew that death would soon pick him up. She couldn't imagine how sad her parents' hearts were. "I'm sorry, Father... Mother... I love you," he whispered in his heart.
