[the sting in her neck draws a sharp, angry hiss from Catra, a reaction not unlike what happens when someone pokes a bear or a beehive. but. . . as willing as the mind may be? the body strongly disagrees]
[with a sharp inhale, Catra falls to her knees as well, hands dropping from the collar to splay against the ground to keep her upright. is it just her. . . or is her heart hammering loudly in her ears, drowning out literally everything else but-for the ice that courses through her veins, squeezes her lungs, dims her consciousness. if she knew she was dying, she might be a bit more somber, a bit more focused on the people-- the person-- she's leaving behind]
[but death, while not a complete stranger to her, is also not an entity she intends to give into so damn quickly]
S-s-show your f-f-face you. . . y-you--
[her words are weak. just like her arms, which give out from under her as she crumbles into a ball on the floor. her body is cold-- so cold, so cold-- but the fury, the anger, the singular word that teeters on the edge of her conscious as the world goes black, is burning hot]
