Muse (Tales Of Silver Downs Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
He was born to be a soldier, one who fought and delivered death. I had never thought less of him for it. It was simply not the path I had envisioned for myself. But perhaps to defeat Ida, I needed to become a soldier too. "How would I do it?" I asked. "Cut her throat," Owain said. "Messy but quick." I tried to picture myself standing over a bound woman, knife in hand. Owain would hold her steady. There would be blood. Would she feel pain? Would she scream? Beg for mercy? My stomach contracted and I pushed the thoughts away. "I'll find some rope," Owain said. "When we go back, you distract her. I'll get behind her and grab her. Then you tie her up." "Then I… kill her?" He looked me right in the eyes. "Has to be done, Diarmuid. I can do it, if you can't." I swallowed, hard. "It has to be me. I have to be the one to stop her." "I'll get the rope," he said and left. Bramble and I waited beneath the oak tree. The street around us was quiet and empty, unusual for this time of day. Perhaps folk were staying inside, away from Ida's attention.
