Are You Prepared?
Margaret gritted her teeth. She curled her hands into fists as she listened to Laina. She could not even look Laina in the eyes. But Margaret's silence did not sit well with Laina. Unable to take it any further, Laina picked Margaret up by her collar.
She forced Margaret to look her in the eye. Marius and Kol were stunned by Laina's actions. Neither of them was able to convince her to let Margaret go.
Laina, on the other hand, had tears in her eyes. She was holding it back.
"Tell me, Margaret. Talk to me!" Laina shook her as she yelled.
"Have you considered what would happen to you?" Margaret asked.
"What?"
It took her a while, but Margaret finally mustered the courage to look Laina in the eye. She had tears in her eyes as her hands were shaking.
"Have you considered what would happen to you?" she repeated.
Laina's eyes widened a little as she released Margaret from her grasp.
