~Lisa’s POV
He was gone.
He was really gone.
And I... I couldn’t do anything to stop it.
I sank to the ground as much as the restraints allowed, my hands shaking, heart beating so violently I thought it might stop altogether. I cried, gasped, clawed at the earth like I could dig him back up. My voice grew hoarse, my tears burning like fire.
"I’m sorry," I whispered, over and over, "I’m sorry... I’m so sorry..."
But the world didn’t care.
And neither did they.
Because just as I lifted my head, the guards moved.
They released the chains from the execution post and dragged me forward. I didn’t resist. I couldn’t. My body was limp, my mind blank, except for one agonizing truth: I’d led him to his death.
And now it was my turn.
