Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, she would have dodged at least one of these strikes. But not this time. This is that one time in a hundred. First a sharp cold stab to the back, then a sudden flash of light and agony from the front. Half her vision turns red. Then both sides go black.
She's still alive, but not for long, not with the rate blood is coming from what used to be her eye. Get someone to carry her out, if you can. If not, well, nice knowing you.
HCPD is here, by the way.
