"You didn't think I was being sincere, did you?" Sienna laughs as she comes at me with the knife.

"Leave her alone!" Kagiso tackles Sienna to the ground, but it's no use.

She simply reappears to the side of  him.

"Any last words?" Sienna asks Kagiso as she hovers over his body.

I can't believe she's doing this to us.
We wanted to help her.

I pounce and try to swipe her legs.
She disappears and reappears at Kagiso's head.

I don't watch, but I know what she'll do to him.

I hear the sounds of a blade being sliced viciously into skin.

Kagiso dies the death of a hero.
No screaming, no shouting, no begging.

When she's done with him, she comes for me next.
I try not to look at Kagiso's brutalized body, but I can't help it.
One minute he was alive, the next minute he wasn't.
Is this what it all boils down to at the end of the day?

"My sweet, sweet niece." Sienna grins at me.

"Please don't kill me." I beg.

I don't want to die.
I certainly don't want to die like this.

Sienna comes at me.
The blade of the knife drips with Kagiso's blood.
We wrestle on the ground.
We run around the tiny shack.
I scream.
Sienna laughs.
It's a battle.

I don't win.
