Twenty Seven

My heartbeat increased as the elders approached us, Nolan wasn't listening to my pleas and I felt my world crumble, in few minutes time they would be here and there was no way I could cover up before then. I shut my eyes and let the tears run down my cheeks freely, there was no hope for me. I made up my mind that if they saw me in this humiliating position then I would do the unthinkable.

A dagger rested not more than few meters away from where I was and within few steps of mine I would reach out to it, the plan was simple; I would stab myself with the dagger and die there with my shame that way I would be better off than facing the shame for the rest of my life.

"Please Nolan, the elders will be here soon, it would be a catastrophe if they see me like this." I begged him.

He released his grip on me and eyed me like he was contemplating my words. My blood boiled in anger and I felt like killing him.

He chuckled wickedly.
