The silence rises, echoing off the walls of the not so humble abode.
"Are you threatening me"?
"Warning you".
"Just a warning".
"You know it isn't her".
"She is mine, all of her".
Heelas tight bun twitches, I lean back, and use fast thinking, it is faster than fast moving.
Her hand appears as a blur as she wraps her fingers around my throat.
The soundless struggle intensifies faster than I am prepared for.
Both my hands are already moving to her wrist, pushing her arm with my right arm, and wrist with my left.
The attempt to move her arm only gets me a punch in the face with her left.
Rolling my shoulder I put my back into it as I am forced back.
She grabs my neck with both hands as my back slams against the wall.
"You think I'll fall for the same shit twice"?
Her words are cold.
Her energy rushes my mana core.
Instead of the light touch she has been using, she floods me.
