The first blow landed with a sickening crack that sent satisfaction running through me.

Fists flew. Blood sprayed. I watched with a blank expression as they tore into one

And I wanted to watch every agonizing second of it.

My head snapped toward her, and everything-the rage, the heat, the violent thrumming in my veins-came to a screeching halt.

My fingers, still sticky with blood, twitched at my sides.

She was shaking. Her body curled in on itself, arms clutching what was left of her dress. Her eyes brimmed with something I never wanted to see on her face.

Fear.

Not relief nor gratitude.

My stomach twisted. My chest constricted.

She wasn't afraid of them.

"Kasmine,” I rasped, "Are you hurt?"

She hesitated, her body still trembling as she clutched at her torn dress. "No," she whispered. “I—I'm okay. I was just... scared." she couldn't look me in the eyes, and that was when I realized Zeth was still sharing partial control with me, and she was yet to get used to him no matter how hard I tried.
