my lungs will fill and then deflate

It might have seemed odd to Rudyard that the girl would want to learn to fight, but there wasn't a second thought in her mind. It just made sense. So many of her fears related to not being able to defend herself. It would still be scary to be attacked, but at least she'd have a chance. She could win. Part of her ached for victory more than anything else. It would be so fun to be free, and confident, and feared. The ambition almost scared her. She was nice, right? She still wouldn't do anything bad, even if no one could stop her.

The boy sat up, cutting through her thoughts. She should have been paying attention. What if he attacked now? What if--What if--He began to speak, and she exhaled slowly, trying to bring her heartbeat down to a steady baseline. She listened carefully as he spoke. She didn't want to miss anything. She didn't know how much Rudy knew, considering he was even younger than herself, but maybe he'd learned some things from the other wolves in the Hallows.

Avantika nodded once he'd finished. She would learn this to the very best of her ability.
