Esther was a bit slow to react and saw an arrow heading straight for her. Just then, someone stepped in front of her, taking the arrow hit.

She heard a groan as Finnegan slumped over her. "Oh no, Finnegan!"

The man turned pale as Esther's eyes filled with tears. "Why did you jump in front of it?"

"What would happen if I didn't?" Trying to lighten the mood, Finnegan wiped her tears. "Hey, don't cry. You don't look good when you cry."

Pearl scoffed. "You don't even care about your own people."

Andrei had never felt such danger before. The cold blade made him sweat. "Let's calm down and talk. What do you want?"

"I made it very clear. Let us go."

"Um..." Andrei hesitated. "But what will I tell my people?"

The knife pressed closer. "I'll bring you along to my grave then!"
