A Gift from the Goddess
Chapter 120: Book Two - Chapter 12
"Rae...I do believe this guy is alive," Zac said.
The two of us were peering into the cupboard, looking at a very tied up and very terrified looking Noah.
"Yep," I replied.
"Right...right....And, just to make sure we’re on the same page here, you are aware that normally I don’t see this part, right? That I come in afterwards?"
"I’m aware."
At the sound of the conversation, Noah immediately started to squirm and plead to Zac with his eyes, hoping that he would help free him.
Not that it would do him any good.
"So, what's the hold up?" Zac asked, still confused.
"Isn’t this just another Thursday for you? I’ve seen you do worse."
He was right.This really wasn’t that abnormal of a job for me to do.
But I gritted my teeth at his question nevertheless, hating how I had ended up in this situation.
"I...can’t," I said, deflating in defeat.
"I can’t do it."
"You can’t...do it...," Zac repeated slowly.
"And why is it—."
"Look, I just can’t, okay?" I said, cutting him off, irritated at all the questions.
"I’ve tried.I even tried again before you got over here.I can’t do it, I can’t do it, I can’t do it.End of discussion."
"...So why am I here? Just tell your dad that —."
"No."
Of course, Zac would suggest that.He didn’t know about every dark secret my father was hiding, only ever seeing as far as he needed to.
"No, I can’t tell him," I said.
"...And you can’t tell him either."
"Rae, the boss is expecting this guy dead," he said, taking a step back to look at me.
"I’m not really sure what’s going on, but you do realise he’ll find out sooner or later, right? You can’t just keep him locked up in a cupboard forever."
"Okay, fine! Fine...," I sighed in frustration, before slowly locking up to meet his eyes.
"...Then you do it."
Immediately, his face paled.
"What?! Rae, no! No," he blurted out.
"I don’t do that."
"c’mon, Zac," I whined.
"It’s not that different from cleaning up.Both have a lot of blood.I can talk you through it.Here...just grab this dagger like this...and then hold it in your hand facing—."
"Raven, stop!"
I'd been trying to get him to wield the weapon but he immediately held his hands up and stepped away.
"Just...chill," he said.
"I’m not going to kill someone."
"Argh!
