Evelynn did not respond immediately. Instead while gasping for breath, the demon forced herself to expel the bullet. Feeling it pass through her chest cavity was like having purposefully pumped a syringe full of acid through one's tissue. Her shadow flesh ripped open, 'bleeding' black tar as the bullet's tip worked its way out and fell on the floor with a quiet ping.
Experiencing agony on herself felt like some twisted joke of the universe. It took away Evelynn's breath as shock waves rushed through her whole being. Her wound was still leaking puss. It would take a few hours for her body to close up that tunnel burrowing through it.
Her head swung over towards the "Vayne" on the bed. Watching the effigy dissolve into purple smoke, her lashers flicked in displeasure. Hearing the telltale whisk of Shauna's crossbow firing once more, the Demon of Agony swiftly leapt off the bed, a blur of blackish purple shadows before she quickly reestablished a physical form. Her bones creaked all the while. Her lashers were raised like a pair of cobras. ready to strike, and her clawed hands were lifted up.
"Believe me, doll, that mistake won't happen twice", Evelynn said, "As for growing desperate?" A soft chuckle and a claw brushed over Evelynn's lips pulling away viscous saliva. "We both know that ain't true. I just grew extremely tired of you trailing after me like some glorified butler. I don't need you to wipe my butt, sweetie."
With these words, Evelynn dashed forward in a blur of black and purple. Her lashers came shooting through the air like a cat-o-nine tails. They struck Vayne across her face. While Evelynn had intentionally made it look like she was going for the eyes, all she did, was rip deep grooves into Vayne's cheeks. A warning in her eyes as the demon appeared a bit away from her attacker, in case Vayne had attempted to slow her down via shooting.
"Quit while you can, Shauna", Vayne said in cold warning, "You may believe yourself so very special with your bolts of silver and your hypocrisy, but mark my words: In my aeons of existence, I have had hundreds of Shauna Vaynes come after me. They all regretted it! Believe me, if I actually bothered, I could give you heights of agony, which make what I did to your parents nothing but a warm-up. That being said..." Her voice dropped into a sultry soft note, mocking Vayne just as she had been taunted in turn. "Smile, sweetheart."
