lay one finger on me and I will show you what a bitch is!"
This is when the stupid girl brings up her knee and connects with my stomach.
Suddenly I feel what I can only explain as a feeling of evil curses through my veins, I want to place my hands on her neck and break her, that is what my fingers itch to do, never have I felt this way, but it feels right.
"Zara!"
"What!" I shout in a tone I do not recognise.
"Zara!" Sallack calls to me again before pulling me off Candy as if I am a rag doll.
Taking my face in his hands, his mouth opens slightly and his eyebrows nit together before he speaks gently to me, "go cool off."
"NO!" I scream.
"Now!" He shouts back, all the while Candy watches us with a look of fear in her eyes.
"I'll get you back!"
"Sweet, come with me," Angus's lovely voice jolts me from my evil state.
Looking at him then back to Sallack, I decide to walk away from the heated tension, which is a wrong idea because she lunges at me again, causing me to stumble down the stairs again! However, with Angus having quick reactions, he catches me in his arms.
Angus and I face Sallack and Candy with small growls, my anger taking away the wonder of why I have just growled!
Without a second thought I am standing before Candy with my hands around her throat, my fingers pressing eagerly against her wind pipe. I want her dead!
"Zara!"
Releasing a petrified Candy, I turn to see Ruk watching me in disbelief, sorrow coating his handsome eyes.
Down casting my eyes in shame, I storm past them all and through the front door onto the porch, to get some air and calm down. Seeing Dallah’s already out their sitting on the swing chair, I ask,
"How long have you been out here?"
"When I saw you trying to kill Candy. "
Dallah isn't a horrible person, it's just that she can see into a person’s heart, see the real them, and she has told us on a regular basis that Candy’s heart is black, a kind of black she has not seen in a human. However, Den doesn't want to hear it, he wants to believe she is someone different.
"What was that?" Ruk asks whilst wrapping me in his arms.
"She's pushing me too far," I tell him with a fear for myself; I near ly killed her, if Den hadn't turned up when he did, she would be dead.
"What did she do?" He asks me with his eyes glowing that magnificent gold.
"It doesn't matter, just keep her away from me," I ask in a plea.
"She pushed her down the stairs, twice!" Dallah explains.
"Dallah no!" I scream.
Before she can reply, Ruk has shifted into his wolf and bolted up the stairs.
Running in after him, I see Sallack has put himself in front of a screaming Candy and Ruk in wolf form is growling a warning for him to get out the way.
"Dallah!" Sallack shouts at her, wanting her to take Ruk away from the situation, which she does in a blink of an eye.
Candy steps around Sallack to face him and wraps her arms around him, holding him tightly as if he is her life line, which he is, because without him she would now be dead.
Angus nods his head to me before taking my hand and walking us into the kitchen. Taking a seat beside him he takes my hands in his as my eyes meet with his.
"You're getting stronger every day; you need to learn how to control it sweet. The woman needs to go, she has had every man and woman in the pack try to kill her at some point, but she stays, Den allows it."
"Yeah it's fucked up. I hate her Angus, she brings the worst out in me, it's as if she is goading me on," I tell him, wanting him to understand.
"She pushes us all sweet, granted she is more trouble to you, but hang in there; she will leave one day, when Den opens his eyes and finally see’s what we all do."
"I hope you're right, I really do. I need to go to Ruk, I'll see you in a bit," I tell him gratefully with a kiss to the cheek before heading out onto the porch, and transporting myself to the Brothers’ home where I know Dallah would have taken Ruk.
