650 In the Dark

"K-K-Katherine…" Deborah croaked, her throat bobbing against the sharp blade and she gasped. "P-Please d-don't."

"Funny," Katherine gritted her teeth. "I never thought I'd hear you say that. It's a shame I don't care about your plea."

Footsteps sounded behind her. She didn't have to look to know it was Damien, followed by Styles and Felix. Deborah's eyes widened at the growing number of people surrounding her, a tear sliding down her cheek. "I'm going to scream!" she said. "Higgins just left. He'll hear me!"

"Go ahead. Even if he does, there's nothing he can do. There's more of us out there."

More tears fell down Deborah's pale face. She didn't dare to move, too afraid of what Katherine might do to her.
