Author's Notes: Part 1 of 2.
Heart thudding in a rib cage, and the girl can feel the red seeping through the chinks in her armor. She presses her hand lightly against where the pain is greatest and braces herself for the villain she had (so so so) stupidly decided to take on by herself. It's a man twice her size- even more.
She needs to get the hell out of there.
Looking down- it's five stories to the ground but there's another building just ten feet away. She can make it. She can live.
And then the man is back, and he's punching and kicking and she's just too weak now. Too much force behind a roundhouse to her ribs and she knows what's going to happen a split second before it does.
Punctured lung. Crushed ribs. Estimated time of recovery? Never. Because the man is walking away and she's all alone.
