"Inner pain often hides beneath a calm exterior..."
Her eyes fuming with rage, Adrianna demanded again, "Who the hell do you think you are to try and trick me?!"
The camp members flocked to Lila's aid, lifting her up, blood trickled down her nose, it's reddish hue tainting the crisp snow.
Lila rolled her tongue around her mouth, 'It stings.' she cursed herself for allowing a gullible weakling to catch her off guard. And what was this strength? Ordinary shifters, much less an outsider like her shouldn't be that strong.
"You heartless woman! How dare you spit in our faces like this?!"
In an angry frenzy, the camp members all charged towards her, stones, sticks and snow clenched tightly in their grasp. Their eyes bloodshot with full intent on taking her life.
"Wait-" she backed away, only to trip over a stone, and fall backwards. Before she could get up, the angry mob had circled around her and began tearing at her clothes.
"Die!"
"You vile wretch!"
