Her eyes were glowing something fierce. That rage was building up. Hell, I think some of this might be pent-up frustration and nerves from the last couple of weeks. "She won't do anything," Noc continued. "After all, I'm going to slit her throat." Something in me snapped at his threat. I wasn't sure how I knew what to do. I didn't even know that I could just snap my fingers and suddenly that dagger was gone. Noc looked around confused before he landed a glare on me.
