Her knees quivered under her weight as the terror gripped…
““Her knees quivered under her weight as the terror gripped her. No, she decided, she wouldn't scream. If this boy, this monster that she loved, needed to taste her blood and her flesh, then she would accept it. She would offer it to him freely. He wouldn't have to take her with a fight. She’d already pledged her heart to him. And so her heart would be his in any way he needed it.””
