On changelings, a bit singleminded

He reached for the second bolt.  The shaft had gone clear through …’s neck and into the tree, at least three inches.  She probably could’ve stood on it and it wouldn’t have budged.  Mikita with all of his strength wouldn’t be able to pull it out.

William’s fingers closed on the bolt.  He put his foot against …’s back and grunted, his face jerking with strain. The bolt popped out of the tree.  William sniffed it and grimaced.  “The head’s bent, but the shaft is still good.”

William wasn’t human.  Couldn’t be.

She took a step back.

He went very still.

She had to settle it now.  “You lied to me.”

    I got shiver’s, good girly shivers when I read “He went very still” . . . .man I love when a heroine confronts a guy that can be dangerous and WE the readers know the guy would cut off his hand before harming said heroine, but she doesn’t… and it makes tense situation very cool
