The Beast And The Blessed
"Charlie, get away from that beast. He is spouting nothing but lies and is a threat to our people." Xander yelled, wiping the back of his hand over his bleeding lip. He looked like shit with a split lip, a bust eyebrow, and what I could only hope was a shattered cheekbone based on the dark purple coloring to it.
"Shut the fuck up!" Charlie growled, stepping forward, and I instinctively grabbed her hand before she got too far away. She glanced down before interlacing our fingers and stopped. He wasn't worth it, and I wouldn't have her getting hurt on my watch.
