Helanie:
Seeing Sullivan again like that, squaring up to me, made my heart sink. I gulped but tried to do it discreetly.
"Step out of my way," I hissed, clenching my jaw. I wanted to stay focused and use everything I had learned at the academy—all the skills the brothers had taught me, especially in the combat classes.
But it was normal to feel shaken in my body when facing old enemies.
"So, what was going on?" he asked, chewing bubble gum like he didn't care, taking slow steps toward me.
"I won't repeat myself. Get out of my way."
I remembered him as someone with a lot of strength. But now that I thought about it, I'd never seen him train or do anything related to combat.
"Ohh, so what if you repeat yourself? Gonna cry?" he pouted, faking a crying face and mimicking a child's voice, "Or will you call your friends to come save your ass?"
But the second he grabbed my arm, I reacted.
