Eli
Her voice brought him back to reality, as if she'd shaken him from a nightmarish numbness; eying the site for a moment of what he'd caused he inhaled. He looked over his shoulder, eyeing the woman at the end of the alley.
"Go. Remember why this remember, think about that next time." His words had a level of deadly finality to them, they spat out almost like poison. The whimpering, cowering man scooped up what teeth he could find and hobbled away, his sobs becoming distant on the evening air.
Finally Eli turned eyeing the woman fully. Who was she? She was brave, he'd give her that, he could've been anyone, she didn't know the circumstances, how he'd defended himself. 'Defended himself'... the words rang hollow in him. Had it really been defense? The white hot, red rage that had overcome him, sending him into a frenzy, beating the man to within an inch of his life. It didn't sound like defense, it didn't look like it. He felt nothing for a moment, as he swallowed.
"Let me explain miss! It's not what it seems... I promise! His gruff voice was a little hoarser than usual as it traveled down to her. He honestly hoped she would at least hear him out.
