Chapter 44: A Taste of Your Own Medicine

Letting the reality of the situation hit her, Eileen kicks it into overdrive, determined to get to Lily as fast as possible. Bea wasn’t your average opponent though. Eileen can’t just fight harder or move faster to win. She has to get clever and do what Bea had been perfecting all these years: play mind games.

Bea takes Eileen's brief hesitation as her moment to shine. She shoves Eileen off of the broken tree bark and winds back her leg to kick her her through the woods. Just before she’s able to, Eileen floods her thoughts with the idea of fleeing. Bea shifts her focus to make sure Eileen stays in her line of sight.

As Bea crouches down to grab at Eileen, the strategic blonde spits up at Bea, causing her to recoil. Intentionally over-thinking, Eileen scatters her brain to the point that it makes it nearly impossible for Bea to follow any cohesive line of consciousness.
