Judith waited patiently, she waited for the pain, for the coldness to consume her, for the pool she'd be laying in, but none happened.
Maybe her idea of what death is isn't true.
She thought she had an idea about what death feels like, after all the ones she caused.
Eyes shut, she can feel her teeth rumbling in her mouth, she stood shaking like an earthquake. 'Any minute now..' she thought.
She waited for it, for the fall. She should hit the cold ground any minute now, again; nothing happened. Impossible, she insisted.
A bullet was fired, from the same gun the man was holding against her, so why is she still standing?
Taking all the courage left in her, Judith Opened one eye to take a look, she tried to consider all the possibilities, maybe she was already in hell and doesn't know it yet.
As she opened an eye to take a peek, it's like all her senses came back to her, and the ringing in her ear from the gunshot started to fade. It took her a hot minute to take in the scene in front of her.
She's still standing, in the cabin and not hell. That's good, unless hell looked like an old dark cold cabin, She told herself.
Her back was still pressed against the wooden wall behind her, and the man with the white mask still had his hand around her collar, holding her in place- he's probably the reason she's still standing because there was no way her body could support her with her still-shaky legs.
One thing that changed, is that the man with the black mask now stood in between them.
He had his gloved hand over the gun, which was still pointed at Judith's direction, just slightly to the left Missing her by inches, and as her eyes followed the path of the gun, she realized she was right.
A bullet was indeed fired, and maybe it didn't go through her but it went through the wall next to her. Her jaw dropped in shock.
She swallowed the lump in her throat and tried finding her voice.
"Wh-what...y-you- YOU!- you actually...
s-shot m-me--...?!" She gasped, eyes widened.
The man with the white mask turned his head to the man that stood between him and Judith.
"What!?" He growled, clearly annoyed the women is still standing.
The man standing in between shook his head.
"There's no time." He replied, and pointed at the door, "Let's discuss this."
"Y-yuh- yeah, maybe we s-should d-discuss t-this." The man with the goggles added as he stood by the door arms crossed.
Meanwhile, Judith was still processing what happened, still in a state of shock.
"Y-you.....You.actually.shot. Me?! SERIOUSLY?!- REALLY?! Oooh- you fucking- oh my god..." She cried.
"Would you shut your fucking mouth for a minute- what is there to discuss, huh?!" White mask snapped and proceeded to point the gun back at Judith.
His audacity, she thought.
"O-oh!? OH!? Really?! You're gonna ask me to shut up right after you've ALMOST SHOT me?! You-" What is there to lose, she considered. After all, he actually shot her- he missed and she's still standing but the bastard shot her, she might as well take her revenge now.
Using her right leg, which was still a little bit shaky- she used all the force she had left in her aching body and threw the best kick she could do at him, aiming for his injured leg, where she shot him earlier.
