Maelis's face went pale, her entire body trembling uncontrollably as hot tears spilled from her eyes.
She clutched at the bleeding stump with her remaining hand, sobbing, her voice cracking with both fury and despair.
"Y-YOU MONSTER! YOU—BASTARD!! GRAY!!! I CURSE YOU! I CURSE YOU TO DIE SCREAMING! TO ROT IN HELL! TO—AHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Her words came out broken, choked by her own wails.
Blood splattered against her cheek as she slammed her forehead into the ground, crying, spitting, screaming, cursing him with every ounce of strength her lungs still had.
"You're not my brother! You're not anything! YOU'RE A DEMON! I HATE YOU! I FUCKING HATE YOU SO MUCH!!"
Her voice rose to shrieks, echoing off the stone walls like the wails of a dying animal.
Gray stood silently, his gaze cold, detached, watching her tantrum like one might watch a pathetic child struggling.
Slowly, almost casually, he raised his foot and pressed it hard into her back.
"Stop screaming," he muttered.
THUD!
