Sobek was strong enough now to spare more of his energy to heal the new injuries. The surface burn would be last. But he would survive.
Her sobs and the look of hurt and rage were music in the cloudy room. He'd struck her once and then stuck in a blade while she wasn't looking, somewhere more vital that would fester. Sobek resumed control over the vessel's face last, but left the eyes for Daniel, his host still looking down at her, confused and terrified. He wanted them burned into her memory.
"Would you like another try? I'd even let you this time," Sobek breathed into her ear, stripping the ribbon device off her hand. His claws absently scraped red streaks against her neck, holding her completely still so she wouldn't take the easy way out and impale herself. Sobek didn't think she'd take the offer. She'd had her chance and she'd seen the consequences.
