She found herself on her feet even before her eyes were opened and she almost fell but strong arms supported her - arms that held her waist in a vice.
"What the hell?"
"Who the hell are you?"
The couple stood on their feet, ready to defend her. As much as they had no idea who she was, the girl was under her protection.
