Snippet #1878043

Daiyu's mouth went dry as the brave stood, leaving the beast that was Jesse lying on the ground. He moved towards her, shifting into his human form as he did so. Her hands shook a little more. "Stop. I have done nothing to you." Her eyes began to fill with tears of fear.

Daiyu pulled the trigger of the rifle. The shot ripped through the air. The gun recoiled into her shoulder, throwing her to the ground with a cry of pain.

She didn't see the bullet strike White Owl in the shoulder. She had been able to keep the gun steady enough that the shot was true. The bullet ripped through him. Entering just below his collar bone on the right side and exiting out the back. Clean shot through and through. The brave dropped to a knee clutching his shoulder.

Daiyu writhed on the ground. The rifle had bounced back into her left shoulder. She was sure it was dislocated. The pain was excurtiating. The gun lay on the ground beside her now. Daiyu rolled to her knees, hugging her shoulder as she stood. Clenching her eyes shut in pain she reached to grab the rifle. She knew that her only chance was to grab the gun and have it ready, she was going to die but she would do it fighting. Slowly, rifle in hand Daiyu stood and turned to face whatever may come at her.
