[center] Clara had no idea what to think as he asked her to fight him; she'd no idea what his motives were; what his plans for all of this could be. She was unsure of herself and unsure of the situation, wondering if she should walk away and not play into whatever he had in store. But then again, it gave her the chance to make him suffer - if she possibly could.  He was, after all, her sir e- but he knew nothing of the training she'd received from someone who had to be around the same age as Kieran. Still, she watched him carefully as he removed his jacket and headed towards the back door, although she momentarily remained rooted to the spot.  Clearly, she was struggling internally; weighing the negatives against the positives should she decide to fight him. 

As Kieran stepped outside she'd wavered but ultimately decided to follow him along. No, she did not care that she was in her usual corset dress – her hair was already tucked up messily – she'd fought many wearing much worse. 

As he faced her, Clara fought the urge to shake her head. His other fledgling hadn't been around and she wondered if he would come in trying to play hero if he'd seen them. Hell – the entire household could be against her if this was some sort of trick. 

Regardless, she was tired of hesitating. She wasn't sure if she would get another moment such as this and her form was stiff only for a moment longer. "What the hell do you gain from this?" Clara still hissed, but it was only a second later that she finally lurched forward to meet him, her fists clenched to swing at his jaw as soon as she could. Should he not fight back, she knew she'd withdraw as well… Even so – she knew it would feel good to at least get [i]some[/i] of her pent up rage out – as she showed no mercy as soon as her body met his.

One by one she'd shot out punch after punch, kick after kick - dodging what he would send her way, and quite honestly, it looked like she wouldn't let up. Her eyes were bright in that anger - determined to make him feel every bit of the pain he'd forced her to feel throughout all of the years.  [/center]
