| was trapped inside, the doors shaking violently under their grip.
It was like a scene from a horror flick, these people clawing and pounding, ready to ripto shreds.

Their curses and interrogations sent my mind spiraling into an abyss.

The metallic smell of blood spread through my nostrils...
“Phoebe, run... don’t worry about me.” “Phoebe! Get out!” “Bark! Bark!” The barking of dogs, the cacophony of shouts and curses.
“Phoebe, you've been very naughty... You hit too hard; everyone's got someone they care about. How does it feel to watch what you love die before your eyes?” “You, child, lack empathy, can’t feel others’ pain, and that’s not right.” “You like your dog Howler, don’t you? Kill it. Phoebe, kill it and feel the pain of a normal person.” “Phoebe! What's it like to see your beloved dog die in front of you?” “Don’t touch me, get off me, go away!” Suddenly, my breathing halted, and the raucous sounds aroundfell silent.
When | cto, | was standing outside the car, my hands soaked in blood.

“But Phoebe...”
“You're brutal! You're a devil; you stabbed him over !" The aunt's daughter was wailing, and someone had already dialed 911.
“That man wanted to kill you.” A blogger who was livestreaming the whole event spoke up . "I saw it. He dragged you from the car, trying to stab you amid the confusion, but you wrestled the knife from him and turned it on him!” “Yeah, he was the one who tried to kill you first.” People stood up to vouch for me. | looked at the crowd, bewildered.
These media folks... | began to suspect, were they Colin and Eric's plants? Otherwise, how could they possibly take my side? *Phoebe... cwith me, I'll protect you.” Dexter's voice was tense. “Even if it was self-defense, it went too far.” | could tell Dexter was scared; he thought I'd been too harsh.
The other guy just wanted to stabonce, but I'd taken the knife and stabbed him multiple times.
“I'm going to sue you; I'll see you behind bars, you devil! You're too cruel! You must pay with your life!"
