blood drips from her nose , thankfully it’s not broken . villanelle lets her guard down for one second but that’s all it takes before her back’s against the wall , bodies touching as nice keeps the blade opposite her vulnerable flesh . no sudden movements , villanelle needs to think . a smile fights a way on to her lips , breathing out a ragged laugh . funny . ❛ and i thought we were friends , huh ? obviously not . ❜ villanelle already knows the reply ; sorry , baby , purely business . villanelle knows all too well . ❛ are you really going to kill me , nice ? i doubt they’re offering you that much money to take me down . ❜ villanelle’s pride is hurt but she has to compartmentalise . she thought she found someone as twisted and fucked up as her but apparently not . even though her body pounds and aches , villanelle swiftly brings her leg up and knees nice in the stomach , grabbing her arm to twist the knife from my hand . it flies across the ground , skidding to a stop . as nice stumbles back , villanelle raises her other leg and kicks her heel into the side of her face .
