Bound (The Divine, Book Four)
Page 37
The knife was in her reach, so she grabbed it. Master Lewyn rocked again, pushing her up and back, nearly tossing her off completely. She was straddling his legs now, and he was pulling them out from under her.
There was a single moment where she didn't think she could use the knife, to stab him with it and get him away from her. It was a moment when she remembered the kind old man who would sit at a fire and tell stories, whose wife would mend their clothes and bake pies with them. It was a moment that she had to leave in the past, to rest with her family in the ashes of Watertown.
She brought the knife down, plunging it into his chest.
He grunted, and stopped struggling, his face a mask of shock. He wasn't dead, yet, but all of the fight had left him.
"What does it mean?" he asked as she got to her feet, pulling the coin purse from his hip and grabbing her bow and quiver. "That the Mediators are Cursed?"
"I don't know," she said. "But I'm going to find out."
"Good luck then, Eryn," he said, his voice fading with his life. "I'm sorry. I had no choice."
She started to run, her eyes threatening to fill with tears again. Not because she had killed him, but because he had felt he had no choice.
He leaves so many without choices.
