Erin was petite, almost childlike, standing half a head shorter than Keira.

She struggled fiercely, refusing to let Keira touch her hair. "Don't touch me! Keira, what do you think you're doing? Let go of me right now. Did you hear me?"

Annoyed, Keira smacked her on the butt, "Quiet!"

Erin froze. Her entire body stiffened, her pupils contracting as she slowly turned to look at Keira in disbelief. "You—you just slapped my butt!"
