Erica's heart sank. She took it all in at once, the blood, the scabs, the scent, the look on Alfred's face, and lastly the look on Cass's. She had wanted them to get along, maybe even like each other, but<em>this</em>?  So soon?  She stormed over to Alfred, gripping his arm and pulling him close to her as she licked clean the wounds on his neck, her eyes darkening as she stared at Cass over his shoulder. She pulled back and frowned at him. "No.  We don't. Not until you eat and drink and give me some time to calm the fuck down."  Her hand slammed into the wall near his head, breaking cleanly through the plaster, dust and bits flying back into the room.  She stared at him, death in her eyes as she pointed to the kitchen.  "Go.  Now."<br/><br/>Dismissing him outright she turned to Cassidy, striding over and slapping her in the face. "You goddamn insecure cunt!  You know how I feel about him. You know what this would do to me and you fucking did it anyway!  How DARE you!  You just had to have a little taste. You just had to have it your way. You couldn't even fucking wait for me to ghoul him.  Was all the bitching you did last night a set up?  Was your denying me from seeing him all a ruse so you could have him for yourself and shit on me at the same time?  What goddamn right had you..."  As she spoke she stormed closer, her voice rising, her fists clenched, til she was barely centimeters from Cass's mouth. Her fangs extended and she bit, hitting Cass with her fist and knee at the same time, trying to suck what Cass had taken from Alfred back into herself.  "Why do you hate me?"
