Tessa's face drained of all color, instantly replaced by incandescent rage. A strangled, animalistic screech ripped from her throat.
"I will kill you!" she shrieked, lunging forward with her claws bared, aiming straight for us.
I sat still, swinging my legs back and forth, unperturbed as I let out a convincingly 'frightened' cry. "Oh no, stop her! She's going to kill me! Help me!"
Quinlan choked on a laugh, hiding it behind a cough as Mercer moved, intercepting Tessa mid-air, wrapping his heavy arms around her waist and hauling her backward.
"You're an animal!" she screamed, tearing at his arms. "Put me down, you bastard! You're an animal, rutting that bitch like a pig!"
She managed to break free for a momeny, and came at me. I narrowly missed the sharp edge of a claw, and I felt the weight of the past year sink into me as I slapped her across the face.
