REIS

"Shut up!" Aerith screeches, humiliation burning her cheeks red. "Don't act so tough. You wouldn't have been in a fucking cage if you were so tough. You realise how utterly powerless you are, right? It's not like you have a say in mating me."
Anger spreads through every cell of my being, bubbling under my skin like lava. I punch the iron bar near her face, harder this time. The clang rattles the air and makes her flinch, like all the other times. "Watch your fucking mouth if you want to live."
The words come out with practiced ease, each one heavy with intent. I see the fear in her eyes, yet she still holds her ground. "In your wildest dream." She throws my words right back at me.
"Stop it, you guys!" Zielle interrupts. The way she says it feels a lot like how my friend chides me back from an argument around the fire in the evenings. "Omega Arieth, please go back. You shouldn't have been here in the first place. Especially looking like that."
