CHAPTER TEN NOTHING
FIGHT, FLIGHT, or freeze; your body's built-in mechanism to avoid dangerous situations in which hormones will be released during times of high stress to aid you in making a decision. It's your own way of keeping yourself alive.
FIGHT: the body's decision to stay and overpower the impending threat. Often categorized by a feeling of intense anger, clenched jaw, tight facial features, and a burning and/or knotting sensation in your stomach or gut.
FLIGHT: when you do not believe you have the power to overcome the threat, you run. The surge of hormones your body provided helps you run for longer than you ordinarily would be able to. Often categorized by fidgeting, tapping, restless motions, and dilated eyes.
FREEZE: this happens when your body can neither take flight nor freeze and thus stands still to avoid an active decision. Often categorized by an impending sense of dread, coldness, pale skin, and a loud and/or decreasing heart rate.
Vivienna never quite knew which one of these she fit into. Does she fight, when she is so meek? Her body is not strong, her limbs are lithe and elegant. She cannot punch well, and her strength lies in her mental fortitude and core. Still, she does not take flight- running from her problems has caused nothing but pain in her heart. And neither does she freeze, ordinarily. She panics, and she may run about like a headless chicken, but her body moves.
