“Cheese sounds good,” James said. “Unless you want something else?” he asked me.
I shook my head. James wasn’t freaking out. Apparently he’d meant kill too.
“Perfect,” Rob said. “Cheese it is. Now how do you want to kill the troll?”
Betrayal - Chapter 13
Monday
Rob didn’t need to ask us our opinion. Because before we even had a chance to respond, he told us his whole plan. A plan that was clearly well thought out because it was so detailed. And graphic.
“The key is making sure every inch of her burns so that they can’t trace anything back to us,” Rob said. “Unless you’d rather use lye. But I really like the idea of fire. It seems like a more graceful way to end it, you know?”
I finally found my voice. “What the fuck, Rob?”
He started laughing. And then laughing some more. He pointed at me, barely even able to breathe. “You should see your face right now.”
How was I supposed to look after hearingthat?
“Your pizza, young Robert,” someone said and poked his head through the hole in the floor of the treehouse.
I almost screamed. After hearing Rob’s murderous plan, it almost looked like the man’s decapitated head was on a platter.
“Thanks, Eric,” Rob said and grabbed it from him. “Could we have something to drink too?”
“Already on top of it, sir.” The butler slid a tray of sodas into the treehouse with his gloved hand. “Will that be all?”
“Yup.”
“Will you be attending classes after lunch?” Eric asked.
“Nah. We need the whole day off. We’ve had a stressful weekend. Right, James?”
James nodded.
“Very well. Let me know if any of you need anything else. Good to see you again, Miss Sanders.”
“You too.” I wasn’t sure what else to say.Help me, Rob’s a murdering psychopathprobably wouldn’t work with his butler.
Eric disappeared down the hole.
“Pizza?” Rob asked and lifted up a slice.
“We can’t kill Isabella,” I said. “I just meant…make her go away.” Twenty four hours ago, I’d wanted her dead. But after talking to Matt… I swallowed hard. I didn’t want him to ever think I was a monster too.
Rob laughed. “I know. I just wanted to see your face. I like it when you blush. It’s so freaking cute.”
What?
“Like you’re doing right now.”
“You’re both ridiculous,” I said and shoved his arm.
“Mhm. You’re the one that can’t keep your hands off me. Do you need me to call Mr. Hill to put a ruler between us again?” He smiled. “See…blushing.”
I shook my head. “Okay, this has been super fun. But I really should get back to Matt’s house.”
“After lunch,” James said. “You need to eat.” He picked up a slice and handed it to me before I could protest. “Come on. You’ve lost weight the last few weeks. You gotta eat something.”
