They hesitated for half a second.

Then, like puppets on frayed strings, they turned on each her,

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

They weren't fighting to survive.

They were fighting to die. What an irony!

And I wanted to watch every agonizing second of it.

I wasn't even halfway through the entertainment when I heard her voice.

"Kester..." She called me, a bit firmer above the trembling of her voice.

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.

The pleasure drained from my veins. The high of violence turned to something ugly, something wrong. But never my judgment. My judgment still stood. They would fight to the death.

I forced myself to move, crossing the space between us in an instant. I dropped to my knees in front of her and reached for her.

"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.
