Lestat had said 'You are like a bird', and Claudia's anger and resentment at the time had not properly prepared her for the reality that her bones might as well have been hollow, her skin paper. For all of her strength and speed, this body she was stuck in forever was fragile, and this creature was the one that was supposed to be scared. With a hiccup of surprise as her knees lifted away from the ground, Claudia tried throwing her weight forward again, making another grab around the animal's face, iron grip around his jaw and claws digging into his cheeks as she proposed, "I wonder if you will be satisfied, if those are your last words." Better choose wisely, because someone was going to remember them for eternity.
