Sorry for not posting in a while. I finally got House of Hades and have been reading it non-stop. Anyway, here is a short chapter that will probably not fulfil the needs of the reader.
Ariel saw a dagger on the ground.
She saw Coral run out, ready to meet the sun rise that would bring her death.
She picked up the ivory dagger and walked over to the bed.
Could she save her friend? Or destroy another.
She lifted the dagger and aimed it at Joseph.
She couldn't do this.
The adrenalin pumped through her as fast as her heart beat.
She had to.
She lifted the dagger again and thrust it down, piercing something.
She saw it was only the sheets.
She ran out towards the beach, afraid of herself. Trying to get away.
This awfully reminded her of her own last day.
One that she should've accepted.
She lay down beside Coral and took her hand.
If she was going to die, Ariel was too.
