Helanie:
"Come on, Emmet, don't be fooled," Maximus grunted, complaining. "Say something to him, Helanie," he urged, looking anxious. But I shook my head.
"I've said whatever I wanted to say to him. Now Emmet has to realize it himself, who he is going to believe." I finished, letting him make the decision.
"Emmet, why don't you show her what you know and what you really think?" Azura said. "Here, I have a dagger. You can kill this evil bitch and then this will be over. All the people under her trance will finally be free."
Azura pulled a dagger from her sweater and handed it to Emmet. He stared at it, then at her, then gripped it and turned his glare on me.
"So you have nothing else to say for yourself?" he asked.
"Come on, Helanie. We need to go. We'll come back later," Maximus urged, taking my hand and trying to pull me away. I jerked free.
"No." I walked toward Emmet. "I said what I had to say."
