Synopsis
[WARNING! Mature Content.] "You won't get away with this." Ray'ven barely managed to say without her voice cracking. She tugged at her wrist still held within his grasp, but her efforts were futile. His hold was as strong as steel. "My father will-"
Razmyr chuckled darkly beneath his breath when their gazes met. Her fear more evident than the supposed justice she spat out cracked and broken like the window behind him.
His fingers coiled around the handle of the dagger slowly, eyes unwavering as he yanked it from his chest and placed the tip beneath her chin, forcing her head to tilt upwards. "I think I already have considering James is murdering the other girl's parents as we speak. And your father will what?"
He yanked her forth by the waist and whirled her from the door and against the wall. Portraits fell from their placements, some hanging slanted.
"He will be next. But in case you do escape. You can tell him I also did this," Razmyr's head dipped down and his lips crashed against hers, forceful, the taste of soot and ash, of hatred and death.
And then, just as quick as their mouths met, he recoiled from her and turned around towards the door.
The blade remained against her throat. "Keep walking. Take me to the other girls father's chambers."
