Trumbo looked down at the dagger that had pierced his chest, the corners of his mouth lifting in a smile.
It was a ghoulish smile, coming from the bottom of his big bad heart.
"Rock, the infamous Shadow Stinger has arrived! My ex-partner, you’re finally here!" Trumbo spoke in a delighted manner, as if he was meeting an old friend he had been in contact with. However, that ghoulish smile made his words sound as eerie as ever.
It felt like a snake had crawled up Kieran’s back, a slimy, cold feeling spreading through his body.
"Paul had always thought you were dead. He thought luring you out was a waste of energy! But I knew, I KNEW you were still alive! After all, the miracles of that magic book are unparalleled! Paul will never get the chance to know now!"
As Trumbo spoke, his eyes remained on Kieran.
Kieran felt like a toad waiting to be dissected by a bunch of curious high school boys during a biology class. It was a very unsettling feeling.
