"Watch your mouth!" Holly shouted with the last of her strength.
Helga flashed a sly smile. "Oh, you can still stand."
Helga approached her again. Holly didn't flinch anymore, she was standing still waiting for her. Her eyes that had been scared turned sharp.
Helga stopped in front of her. At first, she gently stroked her hair then suddenly she grabbed her hair. "You don't deserve to be Queen."
Holly brushed her hand away roughly and then looked at her in the eyes. "Don't act like you deserve it."
Helga got emotional. She pulled the knife from her pocket and prepared to serve it to Holly.
"Stop!" said Holly.
Helga's hand stopped in midair. She stared. That was not possible! How come she couldn't move just because Holly told her to? Helga tried to fight back but she couldn't do it.
Holly took the knife from Helga's hand and threw it away. She approached Helga, very close with a fierce gaze.
