"Put her down,"

Cyril's temper flared, where did this pipsqueak come from.

"What did you say?" Cyril asked.

The young man pointed at Zyra and said, "that bitch killed Thomas and I want her dead."

Zyra recognised the man as one of Thomas loyal comrades who was always by his side but his reaction was too passionate, had he and Thomas been more than just friends. How would he react if he knew that Thomas was going to sully her before he died. 

"Steven, Thomas is dead and he more than deserved his death, the cruel bastard, he is not worth dying over."

"Shut up, you stupid slut."

Slut? She had never slept with any man before who was feeding him such false information. Steven was young and he was blind to follow Thomas, so many young men had died today, she wanted no more bloodshed.

"Please go easy on him Cyril, he's still a kid."
