Damien burst into maniacal laughter, dismissing it as an attempt to provoke him.
"Melody's face hasn't changed since she was little. I couldn't possibly mistake her."
"You think I'm as stupid as you guys?"
Damien had his men restrain Melody once again.
He called for a crane to lock me and Brent in a cage, ready to dump us in the nearby creek.
"Melody! Look! They're about to die!"
"They'll become a ghost couple!"
"Once they're dead, no one will dare stand in our way!"
"We can be together forever and ever!"
The crane let out a heavy rumble.
Brent and I thrashed about in the cage, but we couldn't stop our descent.
Damien's eyes bulged, staring at us like chickens in a coop.
"Struggle all you want! In a few seconds, you'll hit the water! Then you won't be able to struggle anymore! Haha!"
Soon the cage plunged into the water, and Brent and I swallowed a big mouthful.
We coughed frantically.
I pulled out the small knife from my pocket and cut through the ropes binding us.
