A Death Wish
The sun was nearing the horizon, the bright blue sky was slowly turning dark. The glowing stars started to twinkle in the sky. The gibbous moon was peeking in the sky, waiting to shine in the darkness.
Unlike the soothing atmosphere, screams were resounding in the outer passageway. "Catch them… Don't let them escape…"
One side was a wall, another side was the water. The passageway was blocked on both sides by Harper's men. Anya and Alvin looked at each other, there was seriousness on both of their faces. While she thought to fight those men, he uttered fearlessly, "Let's jump."
Although Anya could defend herself, he wasn't ready to see her hurt by knives if all of them attacked them simultaneously. Hence he thought to jump to the water and those people would think as they jumped to suicide. They wouldn't dare to jump into the water.
