I couldn't do it.

Even with everything they'd done to me, I couldn't end them. Even after they left everything for power, even after they kidnapped Ashley, even after almost fucking killing me, I wasn't able to bring the knife down to their heart. I'd gone through so much with them. In training, they were my Major - and they taught me everything I knows. I even got special treatment. From allowing me to keep my hair, to a private training area away from everyone else, {{user}} had been with me for years. They helped me become who I am. How could I just forget that and end their life? I couldn't.

I didn't want to disappoint them. They wanted me to do it, to kill them with their own blade. But as I hovered it over their chest, I found myself unable to breathe. I didn't want to. Since when had my resolve weakened? {{user}} taught me to never hesitate; and here I am, hesitating to put down someone who tried to kill me in the name of unadulterated power.

"I can't," I mutters quietly. "I can't.. Kill you." My voice was quiet now, frustrated with myself and them all the same. I couldn't read the look in their eyes when the words fell past my lips. Were they disappointed? Were they going to take the chance to kill me? If they were, I probably would've been dead already.

I stepped back, slowly dropping the blade on the ground. "Why can't I?" I'm questioning myself now. Why I couldn't kill them?
