After I heard both of them cock their guns, my mind was revolving around multiple stuff. Was this it? Had I failed my grandfather for not thinking on a way to get out of this situation? Would people even care if I die?

"Say your final goodbyes, all of you!" Says Daunt.

"No, let them go. Both of them!" Says my dad. His gun directed at Daunt's head. Of course he would prefer to save Kate. I've always given him trouble and nothing more.

"No, you have to choose!" Alara said smiling

"What do you mean?" My dad asks

"Choose which one dies and which one gets saved. I want to see, which daughter do you love most, and which one you would sacrifice!"

"I'm not doing that!"

"You have to. Or they both die!" Daunt says.

"No. I can't!" He says "I can't. It's not fair. I love them both!" He adds on

I look at him in the eyes and he looks at me too. He then looks at Kate, she was currently sobbing her heart out.

"Alessia, forgive me baby. I'm so sorry, I have to choose her. I'm so sorry sweetheart!" He says.

Right there and then that broke me. I felt one tear slipping down my cheek. I never feel wanted. I never feel needed. I'm just a waste of space. They don't need me, they don't want me.

"What do you have to say to that dear? Hmm? He doesn't love you as much as you thought." Alara says.

"Just do it already. Kill me, it's fine!" I tell her.

"What a brave girl!" Daunt says laughing lightly. "You speak Italian?"

I nod my head, not having the strength to answer him verbally. Alara drags me by the hair closer to Daunt and Kate.

Daunt switched to be with me, digging his gun in my waist and Alara switched to Kate, holding her gun behind her head. Daunt's hand reaches to my back and he feels the gun, he chuckles lightly and pulls out my gun.

"Why didn't you use it?" He asks

"You would have been faster and killed my sister!"

"Maybe so. Mantengo sempre le mie promesse, quindi credimi quando ti prometto che vivrai. Non ti ucciderei, semmai, mi piaci di più! Hai cuore e sei forte, tua sorella no. Purtroppo ha scelto, quindi devo almeno spararti. Hai capito tesoro?"
Translation:: (I always keep my promises, so believe me when I promise you that you'll live. I wouldn't kill you, if anything, I like you best! You have heart and you're strong, your sister isn't. Sadly he chose, so I have to at least shoot you. You understand sweetheart?)

I nod my head.

"Okay!" He looks at Alara and nods, she cuts the zip ties and shoves Kate. Kate quickly runs to our dad and hugs him. He hugs back. Muttering "I love you so much" to her.
