The Missing Beta
I was able to catch her off guard and knock her to the ground.
I anchor myself upright, straddling my best friend. Fear, pain, and anger take over, and I’m striking Katarina. I’m alternating between my left and right hands and hitting her anywhere I can reach. Katarina pulls her arms up in an attempt to shield her face from my blows. “What the fuck are you doing, Tatiana?!” Dominic’s voice is filled with distress, but I can’t be bothered with that now. I continue my assault, and I notice movement in the corner of my eye. I know Dominic will pull me off her, but I can’t let that happen. The moment I’m removed, Katarina will have the upper hand.
