A/N: God I can't wait to get this all typed up! And guess what! There's a sequel a-brewin'! Got about 6 pages written on it, gotta type it up. Hope it is as well received. Sorry for the super short chapter ... I'm a loser ... hehe
"No."
Harmony Ashford, for the first time in her closely guarded and prepared life, felt panic. At least she felt something close to that. She watched with eagle eyes as her power was taken away from her. Minutes passed like seconds to the blonde antagonist while she was surrounded and her prey freed.
Harmony regarded the ones around her with loathing. She knew she held more power than they could ever hope to imagine. And, she also knew they understood the risk in confronting her. There was something here that these people were willing to give their lives for, something that wouldn't present itself if Harmony slaughtered them where they stood. Although the idea was quite appealing at the moment, it wouldn't help her goal.
Claire Redfield was gone, as were the bright lights. An engine could still be heard in the distance. Coal black eyes swept over the guards positioned in a ready stance. Their muscles were tense, waiting for the slightest movement from Harmony. But all they got was a simple sign and a flip of long, straw colored hair.
"You think you can hold me?" Harmony asked in a neat voice.
There was only silence.
Harmony inclined her head and let out another sigh. She knew the natural thing to do would be to stand down. If she let them go, eventually she'd be led straight to what was needed. It would take longer but the end result would provide more fruitful. That would be rational, and proper.
"Oh, hell," Harmony decided. "One for the road."
