His screech pierces the study as the scalding coffee starts to burn his flesh and eyes. The man scrambles backward, and away from me, desperately trying to rub his face clean of the liquid that is burning so horribly. Serves him right. My thoughts are bitter as I see him stumbling backward. His boot catches the rug, the thick fabric bunching up, making him fall onto his back. No longer is my focus on that intruder, for another is coming after my. With my left foot I hook it around the foot rest of the metal bar stool. Flipping it upward nimble hands catch onto the legs. I swing my torso and arms to the right rather quick, aiming to deliver a heavy blow to the side of the attacker's face.
Success is rather short lived. My attack lands directly against the right side of his face, and to accompany the blow is the sickening cracking of bones fracturing. Two Hyur men down. Wild red wine irises flick up to the door leading to the kitchen, and the next trespasser is a Roe ducking through the entryway that is too short and small for him. One word travels through my mind. Fuck! I am able to take down others in combat, but not something that is over three times my size, and weight.
I toss the stool at him, but one of his arms that are thick with muscles (which I can only assume at first glance are made of marble with how strong they appear to be), deflects it with ease. Knocking it out of his way like some discarded child's door. Offering a nervous smile, and an anxious laugh, I turn and dash to the door leading out into the foyer of the house. Maybe I can escape him some how.
No, all the no. As soon as I reach the door I feel a boot clad foot 'lightly' hook around my ankle. That is all it takes to upset my balance, and I can feel the world fall out from beneath my feet. Hitting the floor with a thud my mind isn't on the brief pain that washes over me. Instead I try focusing on escaping. Recovering on my knees, and hands, I try to shove myself upright. He is relentless to punish me apparently. Bending over the man grabs onto the sides of my hip, hoisting me with such ease. My fingernails scrape and scratch at the foyer's rug as I desperately try to anchor myself to the ground. Sadly it is of no use.
My heart leaps in my throat as I am thrown aside with little regard. I collide with a wooden table in the center of the foyer. It tips over, and I go with it. If it had not been for that table I might have gone through the plate glass door. An intense ache has started to radiate in my left rib cage, where my body connected with the table. Focusing on a plan of action is difficult for my mind is rather clouded with how hard breathing is. I gasp with each breath I take. It'd been a while since I last had a broken bone, so I have grown sensitive to the raging agony it brings. Fiercely I clutch onto my left side. Feet push viciously at the ground, and I scoot backward on my rear trying to get away from him. As he charges at me, however, I duck and roll to the side.
A great crash can be heard from the cozy shop as the Roe plows through the sliding glass door. His screams of pain following soon after.
