"Mother!", I cry out.

"Enough with it!", Nicholas's mother says, holding the knife up. "Enough!", she screams again with a smile, causing me to look at her with a shocked expression. I stir towards Nicholas clasping his hand. Nicholas, darling wake up. Please. I need you. Don't die, Don't die. Please. She grabs the knife pulling it to my face. "I loathed her, glad. I could hold it through. Now, I'll have the prospect of killing her daughter, as well.", she smirks.

Diana grabs the blade slicing my arm, as I shout, plunging to the floor. Great time to be pregnant...

I look approximately, and note Daisy whimpering on the floor.

"Daisy.", I say weakly, tears falling from my eyes and onto the ground. Diana yanks my hair, lifting me, which causes me to groan. "Goodbye Victoria.", she whispers in my ear, swathing the knife around my neck. I close my eyes, I'm going to die now.

"Mother, please. I'm in love with her.", I say, holding onto my bloody wound, which induces my mother to halt, and turn her concentration to me. Thank God. Wasn't confident if that would work. Victoria scrutinizes me, tears falling from her eyes.

"She's not suitable for you, Nicholas.", mother responds. I nod, holding my other hand out.

"Mother please, don't do this.", I beg. Victoria's sobs grow louder, and sharper in my chest, with every breath she inhales.

"I'm pregnant, please.", Victoria says, clasping her stomach. My eyes bend to her, as she kneels, begging. I turn to my mother.

"We can be together.", I say. "Just like you want. Just let her go, mother.", I beg, shifting closer to Victoria.

"I can't let you do this.", Victoria says, positioning her chin on my neck. "I can't allow you to die.", I respond, stroking her neck.

"It's going to be alright.", I continue, which induces my mother to alienate from us. I position my finger over my mouth warning Victoria to be silent.

I attempt to get up, and whine softly from my stab wound but dismiss it. I fully get up, clasping the knife on the ground, and stabbing my mother in the back. She pivots around, and I shove her, getting on top of her, and attempting to keep her down.

But my reflexes already softened from my unhealed wound. I take a deep break and place my hands on her neck. Choking her but my mother is resilient. A sharp, shining, Blade sliced through my wounded abdomen. Thick oozing blood began to gush out of me. I attempted to scream, but merely gasps came out of me. I caught Victoria starting to rush towards me but was deterred by my mother's wrath, as she choked Victoria.
