Reflections of Mist

Stolen face

Alysha stepped back, shocked expression, almost as if she'd been slapped. "Okay, okay... Let's all take a moment to calm down. It's fine."

Nyx glared at her, jaw clenched harshly.

"Hey, Sweetheart. Babydoll. It's fine. We're all good now, yes?" Alysha said, taking a short, shuffling step forwards, hands reaching towards Nyx as if she were trying to sooth a spooked horse.

"No. We are not 'all good now'." Nyx spat. "We were never 'all good'. I don't know what you want or why you're here, but I don't want anything to do with it, do you hear me? You stay away from me, do you hear?"

Alysha's face fell. For the first time since she'd been there, she seemed lost for words.  "But... I don't understand. Why?"

"Why? Why? WHY? Why does EVERYONE ask me why?" Nyx yelled, suddenly getting really angry. "Because I SAID SO, that's why! Because I'm angry! Because I don't have patience anymore! Because every time I look at your SMUG FACE, I want to TEAR IT OFF!"

CRACK!

Nyx smacked her across the mouth, raking her nails across Alysha's face.

Alysha stumbled back, eyes wide with shock.
Tentatively, she touched her injured lip, drawing her fingers away and looking at them. "Huh. I'm bleeding."

The neutral way she said that grated Nyx to her very core.

"Nyx, are you okay?" Maddie said warningly from her spot on the floor.

"Sure." Nyx snapped, clearly not okay.
"She's only stolen my face, but sure, I'm fine."

Her hands clenched into fists, fingernails digging sharply into her palms.

Right now, she hated this woman. This person who looked so much like her. How dare she? How dare she wear Nyx's face?

Nyx saw red.

"Give my face back, you thieving BITCH!" Nyx screamed, launching herself at Alysha, scratching and clawing at her.

Alysha reacted, violently grabbing at Nyx's flailing arms and shoving her back roughly.

The girls wrestled, arms flailing at each other, clawing and slapping and shoving and tearing at each other, all nails and hair and teeth and skin.

"GIVE ME MY FACE BACK YOU BITCH!"

Good? I'm not great at violent scenes, the description is hard to get realistic.
