Cringing as she count feel more pressure on the back of her head increasing, Morana felt like the the blurry shapes and colours she was seeing through her tears would consume her. Nothing seemed to exist anymore, just the endless waiting for what would happen now.
Would Sal shoot? Would Banru stop it in time? Was this really...the end?
She had little time to think on these things as Sal was pulled away thanks to Banru's spell. The girl didn't know how far, but she did feel the pressure of the gun on her skull lessen due to whatever distance. Suddenly, it was as if all the tension that had been keeping her frozen in place evaporated, her legs giving way as she sunk to the ground with a dull thump as she hit the soft earth.
Her head jolted around on reflex to see what was going on now, eyes still teary, now with one side of her face swollen, sore and slightly bloody.
