Taking Back Pathos

Betrayal swirls in her eyes briefly before turning back into fury. Her hands roughly fist my hair tilting my head back, allowing the blade more access to my throat.

"You bastard. You hurt him, didn't you?"

"I assure you I did not force him to help me." I stare up at Wrens tormented expression, almost enjoying the position she has me in.

Her eyes narrow as she leans closer to me, almost inches away, "liar."

My response cuts short as a she takes the dagger from my throat and drives the blunt end into the back of my head. The feeling of falling eludes me, as the darkness once circling me now invades my mind.

Waiting is not an easy task, especially when you are planning on murdering the Queen. It has been 14 years since Wren lost everything to Morana's reign. Her home, her father, her hope.

Because lets face it, how can she trust a word out of Morana's son's mouth.
