Executions

The two of them halted in front of two specific men—and they were known to be very active in bedding the women in the mercenary Hall. One had no legs, while the other also had no arms. They were both bloodied and cursing. 

"BITCH! LET US GO!" 

"GO AWAY!" 

They yelled when they saw a familiar sight. They actually looked happy to see her—as if remembering the time they had power and were looming over her. 

Yiyi also remembered—her body did—and she let go of the knife and immediately shivered. Before she could scream, Jake immediately took her to his arms, patting her back. 

"You can do it, Yiyi," Jake said, encouraging. She had to face them now. If they died before she could do so, a shadow could remain in her heart. 

He took a deep breath and separated the two of them. He gently patted her head and turned her to face the monsters, who spit at them, hoping it reached Yiyi. He wanted to see if she'd react as if she was burned.
