Arrow Lake didn't see that coming

Each word was like the ticking of a bomb, each second that passed kicking her temper up another notch. His words filled her blood with ice and her heart hammered hard inside her chest as she remembered how hard she had worked to get here, how much she had suffered to learn to adapt and survive to make it back here. As he lunged forward with one last shouted offense, she also rushed to use her bare, limbless shoulder to try and knock him down where if quick enough she would throw her good leg over him and drop her weight down like a rock. "I will not leave my home because of some insolent firebomb who takes his anger out on others. What have you done to prove your strength besides scream and bitch?" she snapped at him, her own voice risen and snarled as she bared her fangs at him as menacingly as possible. She would have none of this, she would not be toyed with by some silly brat who knew nothing of her.
