Athaliah yanked Rhea backward by her hair, a low growl rumbling in her throat as she removed her teeth from Rhea's neck, then groaned satisfactoryly."You're not even anything special," she said, disgust lacing her tone. "You reek of nothing but mundanity." Rhea twitched faintly, her body jerking like a slaughtered chicken in Athaliah's hand.
"I'm so scared... I don't want to die," Rhea cried within, tears streaming down her face, hot and painful.
'Don't let Athaliah get near you!' Zeenare's voice broke in Rhea's mind.
"S-s-somebody please h-h-help," she whispered, choking on her own blood.
