Exit from Basilie! :D

He gripped her and she wanted to scream with the pain of it; however, Basilie was trained well. She resisted the temptation, refusing to give him the satisfaction that would surely arise. The girl snapped at him but could not get another precise hit or hold, blinded as she was by the pain. But the pain in his own body was enough to make him release her - and Basilie took the chance to stumble away. She made it a few steps before feeling her limbs tremble - a mixture of adrenaline and shock from her wound.

The stranger slurred some sort of word, but Basilie wasn't listening. She lifted herself and began to stride away, marching to relieve the level of energy within her body. The more she walked, the better she felt - until the activity caused her freshly torn shoulder to smart with pain. A streak of red slid towards the ground, leaving a clear trail that Basilie would've covered or obscured had she been mindful enough... But her enemy was not going anywhere too quickly.

Before long she had put quite a distance between the two of them, and her silhouette vanished in to the dark.
