She knew that Kevin had always been there for her, ever since they were small, and to even think of just leaving him; no, that wasn’t even an option. Even if he told her to run, she wouldn't think doing such a thing, not when his life potentially hung in the balance. As her hands came to hang at the bullies neck she was clinging to, she did her best to use her own weight against him, going limp to try to bring him to the ground. It wasn’t the best strategy, or really, any kind of strategy, but it was something.<br/><br/>However, it didn’t last for long.<br/><br/>The yell Reckley gave to the other bullies was a sign that things were going to go bad, and Mallory knew that the moment she saw the other two get back to their feet. They certainly didn’t look at happy at her...<br/><br/>“Agh!” A quick yelp came from the girl the moment she felt a hard elbow punch into her gut, and her hands lost their grip, falling to the ground with a loud thud, and an equal moan of pain from the impact. She slowly got to her feet, and as she saw Kevin get close to her, Mallory could see them advancing. They were surrounding them, and Reckley was at the center of it all, off to the side simply ordering them. This wasn’t going to turn out well for either of them, Kevin having taken most, of not all, of the beating.<br/><br/>The bullies lunged at them, with Mallory doing the best that she could to kick and fight them, but with her limited amount of fighting ability, and the adrenaline beginning to ware down on her, she wasn’t able to put up much of a fight. “Let go!” Mallory yelled at the bullies as one grabbed at her arms behind her back, effectively stopping her from trying to grab or latch onto them. Her struggle continued regardless, even as she began to look more worse for ware; a look of pain from the jab to her stomach, and the bow to her outfit undone from the rough tugging and pulls at her to get her to stop moving. “I got her!” The bully yelled at Reckley once he was able to subdue Mallory for the moment, though it didn’t stop her from struggling to get out of his grip. His strength was enough to keep her at bay, while the others got to Kevin, kicking him to the ground to hold him down.<br/><br/>“Finch is down too!”<br/><br/>At least in this moment of time, Reckley had seemingly won the fight, though it wasn’t much of a fight to begin with.
