Alya turns to look at the woman who is frantically screaming while running towards her with a crazed look in her eyes. In an instant Alya shoves her free arm up under the boys throat lifting him off the ground so that he has to stand on the tips of his toes while still struggling to gasp for breath before pointing her sword at the woman to halt her oncoming advances.
Krystalia running at full pelt manages to stop just inches before running herself through on the sword now pointed at her. Dropping to her knees she looks up at Alya with tears rolling down her cheeks sobbing, barely able to make her words audiable she cries out; "Please do not hurt my son, he is all I have left! I beg of you, he is innocent and still has life ahead of him! Take me in his place demon, I implore you!"
A little taken aback by the plea, Alya hestitates and no longer acting on instinct alone once again asks the question, although this time to the distressed woman kneeling in front of her; "Who are you? Who sent you? Speak fast or you shall both die here and I will find my answers elsewhere!" Reiterating her point she lightly strokes the womans cheek with the point of her sword leaving a trail of crimson red behind it.
