Derek picked up the letter opener and twisted it around in his fingers as he stalked closer. I meant what I said. I wasn't afraid of him anymore. Not him per se. I was afraid, however, of what he could do to me or would do to me right now. I had never spoken out of turn like this to him. I had no idea how he would react, and I guess that was the true fear. The unknown. I didn't have control over this situation or the outcomes.
I took one step back for every step forward. I didn't run. I didn't incite a chase. I needed to buy Miles time. As much as I could give him. He needed to get far away from here and catch up with Levi. I wasn't holding out hope that any of them could get here in time to save me, but a girl can dream.
"You thought you could kill me with this?" He chuckled.
