"so let me hold both your hands."

Michael sat there braiding my hair, he liked it, everyday he got better, I wanted to dislike him but I couldn't. Usually he'd feed me, braid my hair, but today was different and I knew why.

Today was the day I was supposed to die in simple terms, Luke said so himself yesterday. That was the big elephant in the room and I wanted to address it before he did.

Michael dropped the second braid and sat in the chair across from me looking very distracted. I realized then, that he hadn't  looked at me once since he entered the room.

"Hey, look at me will ya?"

His light eyes met mine and he gave me a lazy smile, "I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay I've come to terms with everything in my life. I'm not sorry and you shouldn't either." I said.

"So this is it, I hate this whole thing I wish they hadn't been so blind, letting their anger hurt those around them." He said.

"It's too late for all that, what time is it?"

Michael checked his watch, "Nearly noon. Luke said he do it in the afternoon, that he wanted to make sure Harry was watching, that it'd be slow and painful. I don't know how he'll do it...you resemble his younger sister."

"Yeah well, people find tons of ways to do tons of horrible things, he'll manage."

"You are such a bright girl, I can't believe how protective I feel for you, I just wish I could do more."

"Michael there's noth-" suddenly sirens started going off.

I looked at Michael who had risen from his seat.

"What's going on?" I yelled over the sirens.

"I don't know, something not good for me." He said loudly.

Luke came in looking flustered, locking the door. " Calum's hurt,  and Ashton went through the west wing with a team, there's men at the gate- there's been a breach. We have to do it now."

I was complete vulnerable chained to the chair. Luke pulled a switch blade out extending it towards me, he was aiming for my heart but as he lunged towards me  Michael pushed him to the side.

Luke looked at him. In shock, "Not yet Luke,  you want him to see her die. You want him to see it."

Luke nodded, "fine I'll wait till I see his face then I'll kill her. Go outside and stand by the door."

"I should stay in-"

"-Michael I need you to wait outside and give me warning."

He nodded leaving the room quickly, the sirens continued their wails. My head hung and I felt him lower his lips to my ear "sorry it has to end this way for you."

"If you're sorry, then don't do this... You can still stop." I said.

I felt the cold metal of the knife being placed at my neck. Luke untied my legs and arms keeping the pressure against my neck, "don't move or I will kill you."
