How I Always Have

The woman flailed beneath his paw, ooze and tears streaming from her eyes. Chimera looked down upon her, mismatched ears flicking forward. He watched her as she cried. Truly cried. The break in her voice as she questioned him brought the brutes ears shifting backwards. He had no way of knowing that she wasn't seeing him, wasn't talking to him. The massive man sighed and released his hold on the black and russet fae. Why didn't he want her? "I did," he spoke softly, still looking down at her. "And then you wanted me to be something that I couldn't be."

All of her ranting, raving and violence... he couldn't let her be around the children being as unpredictable as she was. He didn't understand this sickness one bit, but he did understand that, at present, Viper couldn't be trusted. Lowering his head, Chimera carefully wrapped his jaws around the back of the fae's neck. He then began dragging her back towards the island. He would lock her in one of the cells where she couldn't damage herself or others. It was the kindest thing that he could do for her. Other than drown her, maybe.
