Chapter 94 - A Silent Farewell

The world stopped.

Hers did.

It was so silent and so loud at the same time, it felt deafening to the point that she was nothing but numb.

She could feel the warm liquid that spilled down the dagger and dripped into her palm.

Tears welled up in Eli’s eyes and he smiled, as he moved her hand away from the dagger to hold his necklace.

The hardness of the wooden pendant made her feel something.

Feel everything.

Too fast, too much!

Tears ran down her cheeks and a whisper slipped past her trembling lips. “No.”

Her heart was racing too fast. She glanced at the dagger and up at him quickly. If she were to pull it, wouldn't that make things worse?!

What was she supposed to do?!

By Ignas, what?!

“N—no! Eli, stay! Please, don't do this to me!” He tried to speak but he couldn't. Blood dripped from the corners of his lips and from his nose.
