"No...no, I..I-I'm sorry" Panic sputtered, feeling dazed as fear crawled up to consume him. Just another random attack. Why had he done this? She was not Hades. She was some random girl he had attacked for trying to survive. The pain rose in his wrist, spidering through his body and with it a rage. He pushed it away. He needed to leave before it consumed him again. This wasn't him, this was some monster inside him trying to burst free.
"I'm sorry" Panic said again, his voice hoarse. He stared at the wound on her arm and the blood that trickled from his mouth tasted like poison. He frantically tried to wipe it away. His mouth was bleeding after he'd attacked Della too. This time it wasn't even his own blood. He needed to leave. He should help this girl that he had hurt and, yet, if he stayed he might hurt her more. Panic shook his head and began to back away before changing back into a black cat and sprinting away, trying to run from the fear and the rage that chased him like his own shadow.
