Whatever glimmer of hope I had was extinguished quickly when Alice turned her attention back to me.
"Don't go getting any ideas brother dearest. You will not be getting out of this anytime soon." She sneered at me, causing the others to focus on me. I closed my eyes, not wanting to feel the weight of their stares on me. I tried to read their minds, but was met by the same as before, a wall of silence. Not one single thought slipped through. I let out a deep sigh.
"Look, if you plan on killing, ending my existence as punishment, could you get on with it please?"
The smile that broke out on Alice's face was menacing as she leaned toward me and in a low voice said. "Who said anything about killing you? On the contrary you are to live with the knowledge of what you have done. The guilt alone will eat at you, driving you to the very edge of your sanity before it pulls you over and consumes you."
With that she turned , catching Bella's eye who nodded slowly. Then Felix advanced toward me.
