Her face turned pale as confusion and horror washed over her, realizing what he meant. He was going to execute her himself, but why?

Raspy breaths flared from her lips as their eyes locked for a swift moment before he pushed her down to her knees. What sort of nightmare was this? She thought to herself as she closed her eyes in surrender, she didn't want to think anymore or feel anymore, after all, it would be over soon.
