The Tiger Within 227 Old Battles Part 3

"Aggie, please summon the guard." Kyera ordered still not letting go of the woman. She knew that the control of the situation was focused on her. The four men still capable of standing moved back watching her closely. The two fighters who had joined Kyera in the fray smiled. It was a relief to see two old friends here.

"You wouldn't dare send us to those monster's court. We will die you b.i.t.c.h." She roared bringing Kyera's attention back to Bina. The girl was struggling as Kyera's hold only strengthened showing no sign of releasing her. "I can't believe Verone Died for you!"

There was a change in the air then, Shock flashed in Kyera's eyes seconds before Bina was forced against the wall, the knife still at her throat. A growl of pain and heavy panting escaped Bina as she tried to control her anger and endure. The feral beast in Kyera clawed to free itself from its cage.

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW!" Kyera screamed into her face. The anger and pa.s.sion there was clear. Broken remains of her heart seemed as though they were imprinted on her eyes. The sorrow poured from her body almost suffocating Bina. Bina chuckled and tried to shove her back. Having lost control of her knife and emotions, Kyera was vulnerable to her words. By preying on her biggest fear, Bina gained a sense of control.

"What? Didn't you know? Kan came back for you… but Verone loved you. He didn't betray you as you have him. Walking around like a lover to this…. Sc.u.m. Playing mother to that child because your own was useless. You're just pathetic, Kyera, Or should I call you Akira Mei?" She taunted to Kyera's face. The tears that gathered in the tigress's eyes and her body shaking like a leaf screaming of how close she was to losing it. Every atom of her being screaming to change form. She wanted to tear Bina's throat out with her own teeth. She wanted to feel her blood staining her white.

The kin in the now gathering crowd watched nervously, most knowing that look. It was so similar to the look of one who was in danger of losing all control.

"Kyera!" cried a very small little girl's voice and Kyera's attention was pulled away from Bina's taunts. Raina was standing in the doorway, shock and fear in her eyes. This was a b.l.o.o.d.y scene of injury and for a child like Raina… more than she could understand. The beast calmed seeing its cub, forcing back those desires.

"Its okay Raina, Princess please go back inside with Ella. Get Granny a gla.s.s of water." Kyera coaxed her grip loosening slightly. She had never wanted the child to see her like this. The blood on her blade was almost a accusation of violence. This was NOT how she wanted Raina to solve issues.

"I… Okay." Raina agreed nervously, the concern in her little face was like a needle in Kyera's heart. The split second of lost concentration resulted in a searing pain in Kyera's foot, her knee being knocked to the side sending her careening to the floor. Bina leaped on top of her and several hard blows rained down on Kyera's face. She managed to bring up her arms and block the majority of the blows before they were redirected at her chest and upper body. Raina's terrified scream getting nearer shot adrenaline through Kyera's system.

Clovis threw his arm out and caught his daughter in his embrace, unwilling to let these Monster's near his child. He tried to push to his feet and pa.s.s her off to Ella when a arrow soared into the huddle. Bina screamed in pain as the arrow tip sunk into her shoulder. Kyera shoved her back with all her strength pinning her down.

"Where did that come from!" One jackal yelled. The four standing realized there was only one choice. There were too many s.h.i.+fters here that would jump in if this became unfair odds. Bina and Kyera were considered a fight of honor, but if they tried to help…

They turned booking it to the woods. One of the 3 on the ground managed to force himself to his feet and flee as well, casting a forlorn look back at Bina on the ground under Kyera's hand. There was no way to help her escape so they had to save themselves.
