A MANIAC

[~Song recommendations: Nothing Compares To You by Sara Sainz 7 If You Love Her by Forest Blakk~]

"My brother…" James heard her anxious voice filled with concern as she paused on her steps. Her eyes blurred with a fresh set of tears and suddenly kneeled down in front of her.

"Pl-Please… sir; Save my brother… I-I'll do anything for you…" Her voice quivered as James watched her helpless state. Jenny kept her gaze lowered as she prayed for her dear brother. The wounds of betrayal must be fresh on his part, she thought in her mind.

"Your brother is safe with me… Jenny." She shot open her eyes at the answer she never expected. "Now… get up and stop hurting yourself." 

"Ar-Aren't you lying so tha—"

"Jenny! Do you trust me?" He intervened leaving her no time to finish her query. She took a step back as he lunged forward and held her shoulder tightly. His eyes bore into hers, waiting for the answer that she still hadn't delivered.
