With a ruthless efficiency that bordered on chilling, the ice bullets tore through Mia's flesh, their trajectory unerring as they left behind a trail of devastation. The once vibrant and formidable young woman, now reduced to a broken vessel, crumpled to the unforgiving ground, her body splayed out in a grotesque and unnatural display. Limbs twisted at grotesque angles, accentuating the macabre scene that unfolded before Evan's eyes. A morbid pool of crimson seeped from her wounds, mingling with the earth, transforming the ground beneath her into a haunting canvas painted with the hues of despair.
