Katina knew, both consciously and deep down inside, what those nails could do, practically talons with the kind of strength AKIHA had. It was as controlling as the powerful grip on her wrist - everything about AKIHA was power, and she sure as hell had control of the situation. If she was lucky, Katina thought, maybe this demon wouldn't kill her, or maim her, or... a lot of things.

Despite her fear, she locked eyes with AKIHA, still exercising her bravado. "So you're... like the real her. Or part of the real... Akiha. For some reason or another, she holds your half of herself back... so what the hell are the two of you then?" Maybe she should just be trying to stay alive. She could ask Akiha later... maybe.
