(anyone) but you

[Fiorina]

This is, Fiorina quickly decides, complete and utter horse shit. All she wants to do is kill this jerk and then find her way back up the mountain and kill the fairy that stole her eyesight. Her ears track his movement as best as she can when he shifts and when she inhales the air is thick with the scent of his blood from where her sharp teeth caught. There’s just the faintest taste of it in her mouth and she can feel the ferocity of her feral side rise. It would be so easy to let it loose, to slip away from reason and the fear that was choking her and just become the monster she had been bred to become. There aren’t many instances when she had given into this side in her past - she has struggled to be better, to be something separate from her family. Truthfully, she does not even know if she could flip that switch - which scares her too. But he makes the decision for her. She can feel the impact of his teeth on her tail as a dull tap more than anything but it’s enough of a violation that she snaps. She flicks her tail to where she thinks he is but she surges forward with her body - hoping to slam her armoured body and those spines on her shoulders into his form and hopefully spill more of his blood. She is not expecting the lack of resistance and she stumbles when she meets nothing but air - slightly thicker, maybe, as though she just crashed through water. That knife tail sweeps around her in deadly arcs and slashes as she stumbles a few steps past him - head swinging around to try to get a sense of where he had gone. She’s beyond words now, can’t even puzzle together enough coherent words to snap an insult about him being a coward. Fiorina just emits a noise halfway between a hiss and a growl as she finally slips away from a conscious self and becomes nothing more than a beast. FIORINA
