One guard walked up to her nervously. "Um, Natalya?"
"What?" She whirled around, snarling.
He yelped in surprise. "Um, I was coming to say that somehow the portal gates were opened..."
"Well? Close them! That's your job, isn't it?" She growled.
"Um, y-yes ma'am..."
"Why didn't you just close them?" She snapped.
"Because-"
"I don't want to hear it, just close the darned gates before I close that motormouth of yours." She crossed her arms irritatedly.
He saluted her, then rushed off. "Close the gates or she's gonna kill us!" He wailed to the other guards.
"Oh, god." Natalya buried her face in her paws.
