"Follow along," She said breezily, indicating behind her. Oh hell no, we aren't following her when we don't even know who she is. We're not stupid. We know stranger danger.
"We aren't going anywhere with you until I get some answers and then I decide IF we will go." My eyes flashed red and I tensed up, readying for a fight. "Who are you? And what are mythicals?"
If she was annoyed by my refusal to listen, she didn't show it. "My name is Gabbi. You are mythicals. I'll explain more on the way. Right now we should go." Gabbi spoke quickly, as if in a hurry, but kindly at the same time.
Then she made the mistake of reaching for Katherine. That was it.
"I lunged for her, putting Katherine down as gently as I could. Which wasn't very gentle at all, based on the crying and screams of "ow!" I stood in front of Gabbi and pulled her down till we were eye level. "One, you don't touch her. Two, I already told you, we aren't going anywhere with you until I say so. Three, we aren't these 'mythicals'. We're demons."
