My mother’s voice rang out, and before I could warn her to stay away, the gold armored one had her pushed to the front with a gleaming silver sword at her throat. Raze bent down, not even fazed. “And why not?” he asked softly, but I could see the telltale smile on his lips. She glared at him, hatred simmering in her eyes. “Shina, I’m afraid that you and Aoko have been stalling for too long. You need to learn that this is the price of your actions.” Raze turned away, and paused. “In case any of you need a reminder of who is in charge,” he said, his voice echoing across the crowd. There was a brief moment of silence, a quiet caused by the collective holding of air.871Please respect copyright.PENANAbnxl583jHu

A quick flash of silver.871Please respect copyright.PENANAW0UEF9vkcW
The thud of something hitting the ground.871Please respect copyright.PENANApZqPQoY5kX
A sigh, hissing out from an open mouth.871Please respect copyright.PENANANmxA2QQEL3
The pool of blood, rushing towards me as I lay on the ground.871Please respect copyright.PENANAkIuxaTbZjk

I could still see her head, staring at me.871Please respect copyright.PENANAq71uMNzuPi
The life draining from her eyes.871Please respect copyright.PENANAGeSUtYy8rU
