My eyes turned smaller as my surroundings started blurring, a low shout escaping my lips, I did not even realise what happened until my head hit the cold, stone debris. Blood escaped my lips but all I could do was stare at the blue sky as a small dot could be seen flying from afar.
A shadow cut across the light.
It was that blasted Dario.
He descended like a hawk ready to prey, his body flashing, and aura spiking.
A breath later, he wasn't above me anymore.
He was right in front of me.
The world bent for him, folded into space. That was his gift.
Teleportation.
Speed beyond comprehension. And now, it brought him here, so close that I could smell the sweat and iron clinging to his skin.
Cold steel pressed against my neck.
A dagger.
His hand was steady, eyes bloodshot with rage as I mock grinned up at him, my lips split and bleeding, tasting copper. "Do it," I whispered, voice like glass shattering.
"Kill me, Dario. Kill your best friend."
His jaw clenched.
