"
Forced to give up?"
Ember's voice grew venomous, the heat channeling through her blood fiercer than before, making her eyes glow brighter still.
"She... she was
forced to give me up? And it broke her heart, yet she
knew me. Knew
where I was, and she never..."
Her breath grew quick with rage, her clenched hands opening and curling under the instinct of brandishing razor claws. Her glare burned into Coal for a long moment as she stood there, sucking in a few longer breaths to recollect her composure.
"Never came back for me." Her voice settled again, falling back into its emotionless, icy tone and she slowly flexed her smoking hands, working the tension out of her muscles.
"Now tell me why I should-"
She broke off suddenly, her body going rigid as her gaze snapped up to the burly woman standing at the corner of the building. The sense of danger swirled back into the outskirts of Ember's mind and she flicked a gloved hand toward Coal, signaling for him to stay quiet.
