“Give me one reason why not, unless you want to confess?” He tilted his head at me. I think he hoped I would confess so that he could kill me and get his wish of removing me from the Inperium once and for all.
“Shoot me instead.” I said solemnly.
“Aurora, don’t.” James hissed at the side of me. William walked over to me and lifted to gun to my forehead, it was still hot from where it had just been fired. The barrel burned my skin slightly. He paused and cocked the gun. I could see his finger on the trigger adding increasing pressure.
“I think it is time you told us the truth, Aurora.” He said slowly and cocked the gun. “Tell us who you really are.”
I closed my eyes.
I was ready.
In the distance the hum of engines and gun fire burst into life.
The Resistance were coming.
