Re: R1
Once the woman came into view, Mina's jaw tightened, fighting against the thirst that seemed to grow once she had someone in sight. As the woman stepped to her, Mina stepped back. "No," she said quietly, and her hand came up to obscure her mouth. Even if they weren't showing too much, it felt like her fangs were glaringly obvious. "She thought it would be midnight again. And I thought it wouldn't be like this." Mina needed to leave at once, not wanting to hurt anyone and Helena not wanting her to hurt this particular someone. Yet her feet wouldn't move, and her eyes wouldn't look anywhere but at Ella's face and throat, so instead she clasped her hand over her mouth tighter.
