Charlie felt her heart nearly burst out of her chest when Gemma spoke. She spun around to face the woman, eyes narrowed warily. She had seen Alex hanging around with Gemma before, but she hadn't known who she was. Her tone was threatening however, and Charlie took a step back. She didn't like the vibe this woman gave off.
"What do you want?" she demanded, taking another slow step away from the woman. She hoped that she might be able to outrun her. Charlie was in peak physical condition, but the way Gemma had appeared had her questioning that plan. Who knew what this woman was capable of. "Leave me alone."
