Blood spattered from the wound, sof it landing in the noodles Lindsay held.
With cruel delight, she stirred the blood into the dish and sneered at Harlee.
"What do you think of the noodles now? Doesn't it smell even more delicious with this old hag's blood?" Harlee's heart tightened as she watched Nyomi's worsening state.

"Die, Harlee! Just die!"
"Stop!" A commanding voice thundered from behind, freezingm Lindsay in her tracks. The pill slipped from her grasp, falling into the grass below.
