I knew that voice and it made my fists ball. “You rouse her too quickly and we could lose her,” a voice said. And suddenly everything in me flooded back to life. I was off the table in a frantic scramble. Finding Margaret at my side, my right hand closed around her throat. Grabbing a shining blade from the table, I backed her into a corner and held the blade to her throat. “Let me go,” I hissed. There were three others in the room. A man who looked like he must be a doctor, and two soldiers. “Calm down, Eve,” the doctor said. “Or you’re going to make yourself bleed to death.” As he spoke I felt a wet, warm trickle work its way down my neck. I glanced down just a moment too long. One guard snatched Margaret out of my grip, but not without the blade nicking her jawline. She cursed loudly. The other guard rushed me, pressing his shotgun across my throat, pinning me to the wall. It had been a line of blood that had distracted me, running from the back of my head, down around my throat and in between my breasts.
