Snippet #1879699

And then suddenly, in a flash, he was slammed against the wall of the alleyway, trapped under the grip she had on his arm and the knife that was up to his neck, "I knew that something was behind that smile..." He said, struggling to get it out with the knife up to his neck, wishing that he had heeded his own warnings. How could she tell that he was from Nightfall? Sure, he might look suspicious, but he had thought that no one should be able to tell that easily, "I know as much as everyone else does... that it's a place, thing, maybe even a person that can grant wishes. I got a library book, the one that I dropped earlier, in hopes of finding out more about it..." He said, expecting her to cut something off by now, since despite having told the truth and having told all he really knew, usually the word of someone from Nightfall was as good as garbage. If anything, she might think it better to just kill him right there and then.
