The woman began to wail. She swept her son into her arms and rocked back and forth, pleading.
Andrev gazed at them and wondered at how easy it would be, to become the monster they had always imagined him to be. Had they been right about him, or had their words been self-fulfilling prophecy? They had never seen him as human, and he supposed that now was as good a time as any to stop trying.
He leapt at the woman, changed midair. Teeth bared, jaws wide - he’d break her neck in an instant.
A spear pierced his side.
