Girl closed her eyes in acceptance as Nathaniel's hand wrapped around her in a tight hold. She took a sharp breath and looked at her killer.
"I didn't kill her," she said one last time.
Nathaniel forced himself to tighten his grip on her. He could feel her chest take in short, choppy breaths. He tightened his grip a little more. She gritted her teeth in pain.
"Do it," she said hoarsely.
"Damn it!" Nathaniel screamed in frustration and let go of her.
She fell to the forest floor and landed on his boot with a thud. Girl rolled off him limply and sucked in air greedily. She pushed herself up with one arm and tried to catch her breath.
Nathaniel knelt down next to her. He couldn't believe he was about to kill her...
She's done nothing wrong...
"Girl I-"
"Don't," she said before she had a coughing fit. Once she was finished, she spat and wiped her mouth with her arm. "Go to the giant village and enjoy the festivities. I will see you later."
She shakily stood up and started towards the human house. Her hand was wrapped around her stomach as she limped away from him.
A horrid pit formed in Nathaniel's stomach. She was right... he knew deep down that she innocent. He groaned in frustration.
There goes his reputation.
He thought about how both him and Girl both lost their good reps because of the King.
Rew was right.
The King is a bastard.
He stood up to his full height and sighed. What the hell was he going to do?! He said he wouldn't go back without killing her, but he can't kill an innocent person. He also feared Rew back at the giant village.
He ran his hand down his face and took a deep breath. He had two options.
He could go to the King empty handed and most likely be beheaded.
Or...
He could do as Girl suggested and go back to the giant village and face Rew and the others.
He groaned as he realized he had a better chance of living if he faced the village. He turned on his heel and headed back to the village, not looking forward to the next series of events that were bound to occur.
