"Reina!" Mary let out a terrified cry for help as she felt the knife's cold steel pressing against her skin.
"Leave her," Reina spat through gritted teeth. "Killing her would accomplish nothing! It won't save you from me!"
"Are you sure?" Lucas tilted his head with a psychotic grin. "If that's the case, then try taking a step forward and watch me kill her."
"....tsk!" a troubling expression washed over Reina's face as she realized what Lucas was trying to do. He had taken Mary hostage.
Despicable! Reina couldn't believe that humans could fall so far as to use their own kind – a child, at that – as bargaining chips.
Mary struggled to break free from Lucas' grip until he pressed his wrist knife on her throat harder, causing her to shriek in pain as yet another drop of her blood dripped down the blade, "Heik!"
"Okay!" Reina's tough expression softened as she saw Mary's suffering. "Stop it…."
