“Don’t!” I yell out at her. Begging for her not to let go of the golden chain.

“Why not?” she taunts me. She swings the chain back and forth.

“It means everything to me.” I take a step forward but freeze when she opens her palm and the chain drops. Thankfully it doesn’t slip from her fingers and she still has a hold on it.

“I know.” she smirks. “Why don’t we strike a deal?” her eyes widen and she’s got an idea brewing in her head.

“What? Tell me. Just please don’t drop it.” I tighten my hands into fists and I physically have to stop myself from moving any further.

“Kill him. Kill my brother.” fire burns in her eyes and I nearly lose my breath.

“Kill him? I can’t kill him.” It all comes out in a question. Because I already know that this is something that she has decided.

“Do it. And you can have your precious trinket back.” she laugh menacingly and teases me whilst dangling the chain over the bridge. The bridge that looks over the fast, running water. The chain will definitely be swept away in that.
