Shadow Mountain The endless search

His voice registered in her mind as she approached, though just barely.  It was enough to give Banner pause a few feet away from him.  Her head shook, eyes blinking as she desperately attempted to clear the fog of anger from her brain.  Oh, it was a painful thing to fight.  Giving in was so simple, so easy.. too easy.  The image of her brother flashed in her thoughts.  The Beta, the responsible one who always had her best interest at heart.  She growled, the conflict clear as day on her face.

Ugh!  Her eyes flickered, the angry light fading away slightly as she looked upon the injured male before her.  She took a gasping breath and steadied her stance on the rocky mountain side.  Okay.  Breathe in, breathe out.  Banner closed her eyes and took a few measured breaths.  "You shouldn't make threats you can't back up," she ground out, unable to mask the remainder of her agitation in her voice.
