At the critical moment, Emily instinctively turned aside. But Heidi's wolf-paw still raked Emily's shoulder, and the sharp claws, like razor blades, instantly carved out a deep wound, causing blood to gush forth and stain her dress red. The pain was excruciating, causing Emily to gasp, but she bore it and refused to fall.
Heidi didn't stop there. She raised her foot and kicked Emily in the stomach. The force was so intense that Emily felt as if her internal organs had been jostled, and a sharp pain lanced through her, causing her body to involuntarily contort.
Emily collapsed to the ground, the rain pouring down her hair and dripping onto the earth, mingling with the muddy water. Slowly, her vision grew hazy, and the world began to distort before her. The frigid rain enveloped her, and the biting chill made her shiver uncontrollably. She felt powerless and cold, as if she had been forsaken by the world in this desolate corner.
