If another word passed through his lips, he wouldn't have any.
I reacted, the man in my grasp, flying across the room, shattering the glass wall as he crashed through it. Oh the noise it made was like music to my ears. As was the satisfying crack of his head against the desk.
It wasn't enough though. He had made so many suffer.
I stepped forward, intent on making him suffer just as much if not a hundred times worse. Torn limb from limb. The scent of his blood in the air, soon it would splatter the wal--
"LUKE!"
I barred my teeth, looking down at the puny human trying to block my path.
"Luke." She said more softly, staring at me.
The look in her eyes.
I blinked. The roaring fire, quenched by a frozen avalanche.
I drew in a breath.
Right. Right. "Right." I took a step back, distancing myself from the situation. "All yours then?" I said adjusting my cufflinks.
Being human. Sometimes. It was really irritating.

"How did you do that?"
I glanced at her, drawn from my own internal conversation. "Do what?" I said, straightening in my seat.
She sat down next to me. "Pick up a man and toss him across a board room like he was a tennis ball."
I exhaled. "This again?"
"Are you drugged?"
I made a face. "Don't offend me. Drugged?" I shook my head. "Lyssa, Lyssa, Lyssa. Those little trinkets wouldn't effect me even if I used them." I'd tried them once. To see what the fuss was about. Humans and their stimulants. I almost wished it had effect me. Be so much easier to blame something.
"Then how?"
"What excuse do you want? How about Adrenaline. There you go. Adrenaline. Next subject."
"Stop being flippant Luke! I want answers."
"No. You don't!" I turned more fully to her, reigning back the fires I could feel burning in my eyes. "Because the real answers, which I have already given by the way, you won't believe."
Her chin jutted out, refusing to back down. "You were going to kill him."
"Yes."
"And that doesn't bother you?"
"No."
"It should."
"It doesn't. That weevil wouldn't be breathing right now. Wouldn't have the chance to hurt any other girls. I thought it would be quite justified."
I got to my feet, adjusting my jacket. "Now, I've admitted I'm a monster, happy now?"
