Nothing. There is a groan from behind me. The girl's eyes start to flutter open.
Only one of you will leave that room alive.
'She's done!' I yell to the door. I look up at the cameras. I hold up the badge. 'I'm done!"
Nothing. I slump down. I grab the dagger from my waistband and walk over to the girl. Her face is bloodied and bruised. I hold the dagger right above her heart.
Her eyes flutter open. They look right into mine.
Blue. Peri's favorite color.
"Do it" she says through tears. "I want to die. Do it. Please. We don't have a choice."
"It'll be quick," I whisper.
Then I drive the dagger right into her heart.
