1. a great start towards death

'Speak or you die. You know me, I won't hesitate to slice your throat.'

'You need me, young master.''

No, he doesn't. Blood was on the floor and so was the old guy.

I was next in line and I knew I was about to die. I was swearing in my head, cussing at Satan because heaven wasn't quite a place I would end up in. I heard his shoes, he was behind me. I wonder if he would use the same knife, that would be disgusting.

'You, who are you? How did you even end up here?'

I thought it was someone else he was talking to. He has to know me, we have been at each other's throats for about years now.

'You in the red hair, I am talking to you, boy. Where did you come from? You look younger than others. Who forced you into this?'

I knew I couldn't lie, he was killing me anyway. If I survived and he found out I lied, he would hunt me down. I wasn't really in a good state back home so I didn't lie.

'To begin with, I am a girl and you are dumb. You really don't know who I am, we have been at each other's throats for what 5 years, now. And yes, I was dragged into this by my dumb mother if you need to know. And please, don't use the same knife, it's very disgusting.'

'Wait, You are Sapphyre. Of course, the girl who is a boy. Ah! I remember fighting you and playing games until I got busy with this work. What a pleasant surprise!'

'Change the bloody knife and kill me already.'

'Why would I kill you?' he looked at the person who was wearing a suit. 'We are finished for the day, open her, and arrange for some clothes. Please don't bring a dress or something like I said very much to a boy. Also, arrange for a room next to mine and tell my father we have a guest. Now everyone out!'
