The unexpected reversal left Jake so confounded he momentarily lost his bearings, watching his rabid girlfriend slip from his grasp with his mouth ajar. By the time he recovered, she was already snapping her teeth at the Oracle Guardian's carotid artery.
Or at least, she was trying to.
Seeing what was coming, Saros deflected her mouth from his sturdy neck with icy calm, his large hand effortlessly cradling Lucia's skull, keeping her at arm's length. The stark contrast of size and strength made escape impossible for the Myrmidian princess.
Still, within a fraction of a heartbeat, the enraged Lucia changed tactics, shifting her attention to the hand that held her head in a vice. Grasping the massive thumb that kept her jaw shut, she yanked with all her might and, as soon as her mouth was partly free, she bit down hard.
"This bitc- She bit me..." The Oracle Guardian was speechless. Were it not for Jake, he would have sliced her into mincemeat for her audacity.
