She Didn’t Regret It

Holden scurried forward and grabbed the knife that had fallen from his hands. He got to his feet just as Ashleigh moved forward.

He quickly tried to block her, but she was faster. Finally, her knee found its target against the side of his body. He let out a groan as he stumbled to the ground.

Ashleigh’s fist came down at him, but he managed to roll away. Holden got to his knees and tried to quickly stab back at her, but she succeeded in knocking the knife out of his hand.

He got to his feet and tried to run from her. Instead, Ashleigh grabbed the knife and threw it at him.

Holden screamed as the knife went through his hand, pinning him to the wall.

Ashleigh started to move toward him, but another explosion drew her attention.

Alice let out a soft cry as a chunk of debris hit her back, sending her crashing to the floor.

Ashleigh rushed over.

“Alice!” she called out as she got on her knees and pulled Alice into her arms.
