Snippet #1521064

It annoyed Finch that his threatening gesture wasn't doing it's job. Maybe he had to try harder. Pressing his ears against his skull in a clearly aggressive manner, he let loose a violent snarl. Still, she didn't budge. Who was she not to fear him? Why did she seem so calm? Finally, bits and pieces of memory from his human half started sinking in.

"This is not how you want summoning the beast to feel..."

"...you aren't just a beast, you're a human, too..."

"I can help you..."

What was he doing? Kali wasn't his enemy. If anything, all she wanted to do was help him. And here he was, letting the monster in his head take control and try to hurt her. This wasn't what he wanted. And the only way to keep it from happening was if he got a hold of himself. Slowly, the were backed off, muscles relaxing as he tried to calm himself. He couldn't keep doing this, not unless he wanted someone else to end up like Alex. Someone who didn't deserve to die. He couldn't let the Beast stay in control, he had to focus, he--

Finch's ears flicked up as he heard footsteps pounding toward him. With a low growl, he turned in time to grab Arma in his teeth, shooting Karl a hateful glare. He was the enemy here, not Kali. He was the one the blonde had to focus on right now. With a strong yank, he pulled the lance off of the statue's arm and flung it away, leaving him weaponless. Smirking wolfishly, Finch leapt at the older immortal, intent to pin him to the ground helpless.
