Beth's POV
"Aaron, it's me!" I kept crying out Aaron's name, trying to get him out of Emma's control. However, my voice didn't get to him, and he still walked toward me slowly. His fingers had become claws, and he could cut right through my chest and kill me if he wanted.
I thought that I would be afraid at first, but when I saw his face, I became calm and relaxed instead. Compared to dying at the hands of someone else, I preferred such an ending.
I closed my eyes and waited for Emma's order. To my surprise, she did not order Aaron to kill me. Instead, she stopped him. "I know what you are thinking. Killing you will be a relief to you. I will make you suffer in pain."
Emma's words made me nervous. She ordered Aaron, "Aaron, hurt yourself. Torture yourself." No! I didn't expect Emma to be so cruel. I cried out desperately, trying to stop Aaron.
