So relieved was he to have found her so quickly, he hesitated at her obvious fear, only to have her jerk her arm free of his hold, back away from him, snarling even as she drew the knife from the folds of her gown, “You stay away from me, Magnus!

When he grabbed her arm again to jerk her back, she turned on him this time, so panicked she couldn’t think, her right arm lifted, the knife poised in her hand, ready to strike.He was so astonished to see her raise that knife on him that once again she managed to free herself, but the child dragged her down, pulling her off-balance.MoreLess
