[ Claire is halfway to the knife she's got stashed in her boot when Mitchell takes it upon himself to beat her to it. She has one hand on Kate's shoulder, thinking that constant contact might keep her tethered, that if she lets go for one second, Kate will snap back into that semi-comatose state that she had been in the moment of their arrival. It leaves her body twisting strangely, one foot started toward Mitchell and the other still pointed in Kate's direction. ]
Wait!
[ She says it and she doesn't know why or who she's saying it to. She doesn't even know this person and she's terrified about what might happen to him. The genuine surprise at seeing someone who moments ago had been a relatively normal height grow so high and so large in such a short span of time still has her with her mouth hanging open, and Claire knows that she should jump into the fray. But she doesn't know what stabbing Kate's friend right in front of her is going to do to the other girl, and she's a little worried about the long reach of those gigantic arms.
Maybe her reaction hadn't been totally unwarranted, given the way Cassie throws her arms again, trying to reach them, crash into them with bone breaking intensity. Claire steps in front of Kate, trying to block her, and then shouts at Mitchell: ]
omg how dare u!!!!!
