He noticed Annie’s movements out of the corner of his eye while worrying over Annabel’s wounded neck.
Annie was too fast. Rupert saw that Annabel wouldn’t be able to dodge the blade, so he leapt forward with an outstretched hand.
The knife slashed through his clothing and cut his arm, but Annabel was unhurt.
Rupert’s action took Annie by surprise, and she was momentarily stunned.
The dagger dropped once again.
“Rupert, are you okay?” Annabel asked in mild panic.
