"You're the bait," Dominic declared mercilessly, his voice filled with cold determination. He forcefully dragged me out into the open ground, leaving me vulnerable and exposed in front of the approaching enemies. "Stay here," he commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Amidst the chaos unfolding before me, a wave of doubt washed over my mind. Am I dumb enough to follow his command? I felt a mix of fear and disbelief as tears threatened to spill from my eyes. The excruciating pain in my leg rendered me numb, but my racing heart reminded me of the imminent danger. I turned my head anxiously, scanning the surroundings for any signs of the approaching enemies. Every rustle of leaves sent a chill down my spine, amplifying the intensity of the moment.
Suddenly, the sound of a gun pierced through the air, causing birds to scatter from the nearby trees. I knew that the enemy was closing in, and I felt utterly helpless, unable to do anything to protect myself.
