"Don't. Just don't even..."
Slowly and carefully approaching the bleeding pirate, I leveled my blade with her throat and stared into her wide, fearful eyes, wondering if she was going to do something irrevocable or if she was going to make the 'right' choice.
The choice that would end with her still alive instead of one where I was plunging my blade deep into her throat, cleaving through her spine and severing her windpipe; there was a clear option here to me, but to her...
Gripping her dagger with one hand and pressing the other to her wounded shoulder, the pink skinned woman grit her teeth and stared at me, a thousand thoughts racing behind her purple eyes as she took a hesitant step back.
"We can do this the easy way. We can come to an agreement, one that ends with you still alive. Just... surrender."
