A slight flinch came on Nathalie's body as the arrow flew past her cheek, and went straight to the ground, also almost grazing over her fingers by a hair's breadth.

'Seriously, this is a trap. I got too allured by it. Should've trusted my gut instinct—'

Before she could even stand, a sheen of the edge's weapon appeared from her peripheral vision; and her gut almost dropped flat from the danger that awaited her.
