Liam
I just want one more chance
Shit, shit, shit.
He was an idiot, on so many levels. One, for not having his weapon on him at all times. Two, for being lured in like a moth to a flame by a pretty song and an innocent demeanor. Three, for thinking that he had any ability to fight back against someone who so clearly outmatched him.
One minute, the Ancient was in front of him, grinning devilishly. The next, she was behind him. Before Liam could turn to face her, she'd kicked at the back of his knee; unprepared, he stumbled to one knee. She was on him in a blink, her arms wrapping around his neck. Gods, but she was fast - and, as he quickly realized, strong. Stronger than she looked, by far.
Stronger than him, for certain.
Liam reached up, grasping the woman's arm where it encircled his throat, leaning forward - and cutting off his air supply - in an attempt to get enough space between them that he could slam the back of his head into her nose. Maybe if he could surprise her, she'd let go, and he could flee.
