Courtney #8
Her prey yelped — cried out like a stricken animal. So this was his reaction to such pain? Fascinating. Borden Courtney’s smile widened as she made to withdraw the blade, but what she failed to anticipate was something altogether more bizarre than any trick of the knife. She failed to see the movement of his wounded arm, seeing only the unzipped maw of his strange mask as his mouth opened wide. A fist flew. Blue eyes widened in shock, at first only at the sight, but not a moment after out of something else.Thwack!
“Egh!” Courtney coughed, something slamming into her stomach. A blow forceful enough to knock the breath right out of her lungs, knocking her off her feet and back some distance, knife and all. An unfortunate set back it was as she stumbled and hit the dirt, though despite the ruckus the three were making, none had stirred. With the sun having sank entirely beyond the horizon, working hours of the day culminating, the taverns of Strawberry Hill were populated, lively, noisy. The perfect, though unintended camouflage.
He’s strong, but… What was that he just did? Miss Borden lay there for a moment, one hand massaging her abdomen as her diaphragm began to work again, drawing air down her windpipe. Of course, resistance was to be expected of such an interesting subject, but not to the same degree as she had just experienced. Still, despite the echoes of pain from what were likely bruised organs, she managed to roll onto hands and knees and push herself up.
A pained grimace turned to a baleful grin.
“Hm—Hm~! Seems I picked a good target,” the terrible teen mused, pulling a handkerchief from her pocket and wiping down the knife, soon thereafter drawing another two blades and holding the three between her fingers like some sort of splayed claw. “Though, if I were you, I wouldn’t make any sudden movements with that injury I just gave you. The muscle tissue in that location is packed full of capillaries and nerves,” she hummed, “so if you stress that wound too much, it’s going to hurt much more than my knife did!”{——}
