[Araya's POV]
Araya's scream echoes through the forest, raw and desperate. The pain in her belly is overwhelming, threatening to drag her under. But through the agony, something else stirs.
Something angry.
The lead rogue reaches for her, his scarred face twisted with cruel amusement. "Shut up, girl. Your screaming won't help you."
His hand closes around Araya's throat.
And something inside her snaps.
Araya's hand shoots up, grabbing the rogue's wrist. Her fingers dig into his skin with strength she didn't know she possessed. The rogue's eyes widen in surprise.
"What the—"
Araya twists his wrist violently. The bone cracks with a sickening sound.
The rogue howls in pain, stumbling backward. "You little b***h!"
Araya doesn't know where the strength is coming from. Maybe it's adrena
