She loaded her crossbows, fired at the figure on the far left and the far right of the trio. No reaction. She dove after the remaining one.
Hm. But is that one real? Maybe she did pull the stunt I described after all?
She made contact, drove the bug girl’s face down into the water. She shifted into her shadow state, straddling Skitter.
Ah, looks like she found the right one.
The girl turned over of her own volition – easy enough, as Shadow Stalker was barely solid, but when Skitter tried to stand, Shadow Stalker resumed her normal form for a second – just long enough to force the girl back down.
Well, shit. What now, Skitter?
Picking one of her non-tranquilizer bolts from the cartridge, she held the point of the ammunition to Skitter’s throat like a knife, “Game over, you little freak.”
It might seem like it, but is it?
I’m not sure, because Taylor is a lot more resourceful than I am.
