Seeing this, I quickly grabbed Eva's hand. "What are you doing? Put it down!"
Eva stubbornly held onto the dagger, her tears falling one by one onto my hand.
I held onto Eva's wrist, prying her fingers open one by one, and then took the dagger away.
I carried Eva out of the cave.
When we reached a place where no one else was around, Eva began to cry softly.
"It's all my fault..." Eva said in anguish. "If I had stopped them earlier, so many people wouldn't have died... It's all my fault..."
I shook my head. "No, this isn't your fault."
Thinking back to the entire rebellion, I felt that Eva hadn't done anything wrong.
The rebellion escalated and worsened rapidly in just two or three days. Neither Eva nor I had anticipated that the rebels would become so bloodthirsty and brutal.
