Grace managed to smile at him, "You sound pretty bitter for someone in such a high and mighty order. What"s your story? Unloved as a child?"Hanif leaned forward, pressing his face closer to her, "Keep smiling, b.i.t.c.h. You haven"t even begun to know pain yet."
"I"m already dead. There"s nothing you can do to hurt me now," grinned Grace, triumphantly. She knew death was right around the corner. If she managed to enrage him, perhaps he could hasten it and end her suffering.
"Oh, I can"t?" Hanif laughed, before setting his face to stone, "I have many ways to hurt you. Two in particular."
He pulled out a long, and particularly nasty looking knife, that had been sheathed within his belt. It curved to a pointy tip, with an intricate design transposed across the blade. Hanif held it to her throat. "Pressing in home now with this knife would do nothing. You wouldn"t die, sadly. Only the power of the Tubadid has the power to destroy you."

He slowly pulled the knife away from her throat, grinning through stained teeth. "Yet, I could go pay another visit to your master over there. Stephen, is it? Right? Perhaps show him all the places I can stick this knife and make him squeal like a pig over an open fire!"
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Grace screamed, trying with all her might to free herself from the Restraint. It was to no avail, and the best she could manage was to flop around like a fish without water. Hanif just watched, thoroughly entertained at her suffering. She started to sob once more.
"You are forgetting the best part of all that," he sneered again, checking the tip of his knife. "It"s right before I kill him, when I let him know that his failure to save you resulting in the loss of two lives, instead of one."
Grace"s eyes went wide with fear. How could he have known?
His lip curled up into a menacing snarl, "That"s right, djinn. I know you"re with child. Does he know? Does he know you are pregnant with his own seed?"
Grace said nothing, openly weeping once more, and praying that her love could get away from this terrible man.
"He doesn"t know!" Hanif said, triumphantly. "Pity about how he will find out. You should have told him sooner. It is no matter, and we will finish the job soon."
"f.u.c.k you!" Grace screamed, making her arms and body ache with her struggle against the Restraint. Nothing worked at all, no matter what she tried. She was completely within his power.
Hanif tsked at her, before replying back, "Such language. The world will be well rid of you. If you will excuse me now, I have work to do."
