Before Mandy could grasp what was unfolding, Corrine had already darted forward, planting herself firmly in front of Andromache.
"Miss Holland!" Mandy cried out, panic painting her face like a frightened doe caught in the glare of oncoming danger.
Had Corrine lost her mind? Instead of evading the threat, she was charging headlong into its jaws! Andromache barely batted an eye, misinterpreting Corrine's sudden approach as a brazen act of defiance. With a snarl of disdain, she lunged, fingers curling around Corrine's neck like iron shackles, and slammed her down onto the table. "I'll kill you!" she spat, her voice laced with murderous intent.
The fire of her rage roared so fiercely that one hand seemed insufficient to quench it. She clamped both hands around Corrine's throat, determined to crush the very life out of her.
Suddenly, the door burst open with a force that seemed to shake the walls, and the collective gasp from the gathering outside could have sucked the air from the room.

Corrine's face flushed crimson, her hands instinctively gripping Andromache's wrists, struggling for breath as tears shimmer for at the corners of her eyes. Her lips quivered as she forced out a trembling plea. "Andromache... I hold no grudge against you... Why... why do you want to kill me?"
Yet Andromache was beyond reason, her eyes ablaze with hatred andm twisted exhilaration, oblivious to the crowd's murmurs and whispers that painted her doom.
