Her dagger flashed beneath the rogue's guard and drove hard into the side of his skull.
The blade punched through bone and sank deep. The rogue's body jerked violently before going completely limp. When Addison ripped the dagger free, blood sprayed across the ground in a hot, dark arc.
She was already moving before the body hit the dirt.
Another rogue lunged at her from the side, claws reaching for her shoulder. Addison twisted away at the last second, letting the attack sail past her, then slid inside his reach. Her second dagger snapped into her hand and slashed across the back of his heel.
The blade bit deep into the tendon.
"Argh!" The rogue snarled as his severed tendon gave out beneath him, his leg collapsing and forcing him down onto his knees. His claws dug into the dirt as he twisted around, glaring at Addison with murderous fury.
Then his eyes caught the cold, bloody glint of her dagger.
It was already coming.
