"What was that for!?" Magnus yelled interrupting me and Halfborn's conversation "What did she do to you!?"

I looked up to see the new girl, Mina, standing over Alex's body as Magnus yelled at her. She pointed her sword at Magnus but seemed reluctant to stab. I had seen her yesterday and it seemed like she favored Magnus. I thought she might have a crush. 

"She took my life." Mina said

"What do you mean? How could she take your life?"

Mina didn't answer. For just a second she looked like Alex and Alex looked like her. I blinked and the effect was gone. I guessed it had just been the light but it was kind of unsettling. Magnus stood glaring at Mina. She moved to sit back down and he suddenly pulled Alex's garrote out of his pocket. He quickly wrapped it around Mina's neck and I had to assume Alex had been training him.

"Why did you kill my girlfriend?" He demanded

"Believe me I didn't want to. It was necessary. Please don't chop my head off."

"I don't want to but it's necessary."

He pulled on the ends of the wire and it tightened around Mina's neck before chopping her head clean off.
