Princess vs. Zombies 43

It was a close call. A fireball brushed closely against her skin. The tingling sensation of the hair on her legs being burned off sent chills up her spine. She ignored the faint fear in her heart and focused on the opponent in front of her.

Their face was lined with a confident smile, the slightest hint of mockery in the edges of their eyes. Both of them knew who had the upper hand in this fight.

Jessica looked at her bat, felt the heat rising in her palm, and cursed. The chances of her winning this unfair fight were low. It was better to run and retreat than to drink a forfeit.

And that was exactly what she did.

While her opponent was relishing their future victory, Jessica took the chance to turn around and scaddle away. Her opponent barely had time to launch another fireball at Jessica's fleeing back.

"Come back, you coward!" their shout mellowed out in the raging battlefield.
