(Sofia POV)

Sprinting around another corner, Sofia dove into the shadows and shrank back against the wall. 

"Where'd she go?" A voice shouted. 

"I don't know Lance! It's like she just disappeared!" 

 "She didn't just disappear!" Came an all too familiar voice "Split up! Find her!" 

 Sofia held her breath as the sound of combat boots hitting the floor rang through out the halls. When she peered around the corner again, she saw that Mamba still remained, scanning the area. 

"Come out, Come out wherever you are little girl!" She called. "You can't hide forever, you know I'll find you!" 

 Sofia only sank further back into the darkness. 

Mamba stalked in the direction of her hiding place and stopped, scowling. "Whether you show yourself or not, when I find you, I will kill you." A wicked grin slid onto her face "Just like I did your little friend."

Something in Sofia snapped at Mamba's words and very slowly, she stepped out from the shadows just as Mamba began to turn away. 

"I hate to inform you that the outcome will be entirely different this time." 

 Mamba stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around. She raised an eyebrow "So you decided to come out and play after all." 

Sofia narrowed her eyes "Only if you're up for round two." 

 Mamba's psychotic smile only widened "Are you?" 

 Sofia took a confident step towards the Head 

"Always."


The two assassins circled each other, sizing up their opponent. As predicted, Mamba made the first move. 

The older woman lunged near her rib cage, but Sofia shifted easily out of the way. 

She raised an eyebrow at the Head "You're going to have to be faster than that." She taunted. 

Mamba's eyes narrowed "Don't underestimate me girl." 

Lunging again, Mamba went in for another hit. 

Sofia did her best to block, but then, Mamba skirted around her other side and landed a blow to her gut, sending Sofia stumbling backwards. 

The Head didn't waste anytime and threw herself at Sofia's unbalanced form, taking them both to the ground. As the two fell, Sofia threw her weight against Mamba, causing the Head to instead fall on her side and lose her hold on the blond. 

Both assassins hit the ground and slid apart from each other. Sofia pushed herself up and braced herself as Mamba did the same. 

The Head wiped a smear of blood from her lip and grinned "You've improved. I'll give you that." 

Sofia searched for an opening, trying to find a weak spot. Then she noticed that Mamba was slightly unbalanced from her left side. She must have hurt something when we fell. 

Taking no chances with Mamba's idle conversation, she went in for the opening, but Mamba was ready and had already moved swiftly out of the way. "Ha! Rule number one in any fight." The older woman taunted "Always be able to predict your opponent's next move."
