<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#6b8e23">A smirk spread slowly over Elianna's face. She had hoped that it would come to this, she had been itching to get violent. The little wimp wouldn't put up much fight, but it would be fun none the less. <br/>
<br/>
“With pleasure.” She said, hissing loudly on the s's. <br/>
<br/>
She walked into the room slowly, taking her time. She shut the big double doors to give them some privacy. She loved this part of her job, ruffing up those who disobeyed. She could smell the fear coming from Holly as she neared the girl and it was absolutely intoxicating.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4500">Holly didn't say a word as Elianna approached. There was nothing she could say. She saw the wicked gleam in Elianna's eyes and clamped her mouth shut, but she couldn't hide her growing fear. It was evident in the trembling of her jaw and her shaking hands. She wanted to stand and run but she wasn't quite sure her legs would support her. And then it was too late. Elianna had closed in on her, and her fist connected once more with Holly's jaw, the force of the impact sent Holly's chair tumbling backwards and Holly rolled out of it onto the hard wood flooring. </span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#6b8e23">“You're stupid to turn down his offer to join the brotherhood.” She sneered. “He doesn't recruit just anyone.” Her sentences were punctuated with kicks. Her boots digging into Holly's ribs, until she heard some of them crack, and the smaller girl cry out in pain. <br/>
<br/>
“But I should thank you. You would have been untouchable if you weren't so stubborn.”</span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4500"><br/>
Holly clutched her ribs. Her breathing was laboured, and she found it hard to take any breath at all without searing pain spreading up her side. She struggled for a moment to sit up, and crawl away from Elianna, no sooner had she tried then Elianna's hand shot out and latched onto her hair, pulling her to a standing position. <br/>
</span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#6b8e23">“Will you reconsider? No?” She said as Holly shook her head, teeth clenched so she didn't cry out when Elianna jerked her head back painfully before pushing her into the wall roughly. “You know this will just get uglier. We'll be forced to go to harsher lengths to convince you...” She put on a thoughtful expression. “We could go after your brother, he'd be fun to play with...maybe even your cous-”</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4500">Holly had stopped listening, her eyes had widened in fear at the mention of her brother, and all the power that had been building and begging to be let loose since the violence started was unleashed. With incredible force everything in the room, including Elianna, was lifted from the floor and sent flying towards the double doors so that they were blown open and knocked partially off their hinges so that they hung in the doorway brokenly. Elianna hit the far wall of the hallway with a loud thud followed by the dinning table and chairs, and the dishes from dinner crashed loudly, the sound of breaking glass echoing through the hall as everything fell to the ground. <br/>
<br/>
Holly stared open mouthed in shock at what she'd just done. She couldn't believe it. She sank week kneed to the ground, her back still against the wall, her legs splayed out to either side.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#dda0dd">XoXoXoX</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#1e90ff">Rowan got slowly to her feet and padded out of the destroyed dinning room. She didn't change to her human form, or walk up the stairs to her room. Instead she prowled the school, watching and listening intently for any more intruders. <br/>
<br/>
Twice Xavier had told her it wasn't necessary, but she was too keyed up to sleep. <br/>
