Chapter 259: Judging (2)
Beatrice was in shock at how Annalise boldly attacked the man when he came at them. She stood up from the chair she sat in, wanting to find a way to help Annalise get the sword out of the man’s hand before someone could be injured by it.
Siena was already trying to grab the sword to stop the attempt to stab Annalise with it. Beatrice joined her to wrestle the sword out of his hands as Annalise held him down.
Kayla panicked upon seeing Siena in a dangerous situation and her first instinct was to pull Siena away from the danger. These men worked for Travis so they wouldn’t hurt Siena. The two of them could leave.
"My lady," Kayla said, trying to pull Siena away from helping to pin down the stranger. Siena was not wild like Annalise to get involved with this man. She was a lady. "Let go of him and come with me."
Siena stumbled backwards because of Kayla pulling on her. Luckily, Beatrice was there to keep trying to get the sword out of his hand.
Annalise gritted her teeth, ignoring the pain of his right hand hitting her face and instead of punching him, she used both of her hands to dig her nails into his skin. His screams soon filled the room and his grip on the sword loosened.
Annalise continued to dig deeper into the skin around his eyes and drag her hands down to claw at more of his face.
Seeing what Annalise was doing, Siena sat back in shock that Annalise could do such a thing. Beatrice was also surprised by how Annalise did it and didn’t bat an eye at the man pulling on her hands, leaving marks as he tried to get Annalise away from his eyes.
Annalise knew that she could not overpower him long even though she was on top of him and she couldn’t bear any more of the marks he was leaving on her body so she looked around for the sword and found it in Beatrice’s hands, but she also noticed a dagger at the side of his pants so she went for that instead.
