The Vanishing Tribe (2013)
“The hilt fit her hand as if it had been made for her and her alone, and even though she knew that wasn’t exactly true she found the sense of familiarity comforting nonetheless. She gave a quick little twist with her hand and slashed the tip of the blade down the side of Porter’s already injured face, from just beneath the eye, through the swelling and down to a spot below the ear.
The response was instantaneous.
Porter shrieked and clapped a hand to the side of his face. Blood welled up... over his fingers. His good eye was as wide as a dinner plate as he stood there and stared at her sword, trying to make sense of what had just happened and where it had come from.
Annja took advantage of his bewilderment to cut him again, this time in a line right across the chest from shoulder to shoulder.
Porter bellowed in pain again but this time had enough foresight to dance backward out of reach.
Annja could have killed him with that first attack.MoreLess
