Pain
Droplets of blood flew out of her mouth as she agonized into fits of dry coughs until the fluid came forth. The fits stopped and the red dribbled out of the corners of her mouth.
A moment later, the pain hit her.
It wasn't merely pain, there was heat, extreme heat, as well. She felt as though molten iron had been splashed against her abdomen. Finally, her brain made the connection that she had been stabbed. Her body was quickly becoming numb. She struggled anyway. The Masamune dug itself deeper, twisting viciously, emerging from the other side.
Not again…
Her body gave in against her will to remain standing and fight; she fell to her knees before him. He reclaimed the blade, sliding it out of her that was far from gentle. She could feel the blood leaking out of her, but her body couldn't move.
Save her eyes.
As she lay on the ground, her life ebbing away, Lightning saw her murderer, two tiny images of him reflected in her eyes as she watched him glower down at her with cold, inhuman green orbs. He'll be the last thing she sees. That she'll ever see.
Upon recognition of the visage of the man he was and has become…
She felt no emotions— not anger, not sadness, not regret. Nothing. The paralysis that had claimed her body had reached her mind. Her eyesight began to fade. The world grew blurry before dissolving into an empty, white fog. The fog crept into the edges of her mind and worked inexorably inward. It swallowed up the last of what remained of Lightning's mind and she fell into darkness.
