Daryn gulped. Did Pia know she was… next?
Slowly he shook his head. "No…"
Sedora's face paled. She stared at him for a long time hoping he would change his decision. If he would accept Pia's gift, then she would instantly release the rings over the heads of Dawn and Brenda. But the man couldn't speak lies. He honestly didn't like the gift from Pia. She looked back at Pia whose face was white as chalk.
Pia gave an anxious stare to Daryn and then she turned to look at Dawn. Her breathing became constricted and shallow. She shook her head, "No… no… no! This can't be." She yelled, "This can't be!" A frantic bellow escaped her chest. "Sedora! Mother! You can't do this to me!" She cried.
