She saw it coming. She felt the first inkling of herself beginning to phase into the nothingness, before the blade pierced deeply into her shoulder. The pain and the shock of this powerful a hit had her eyes wide and her breath from her lungs. The damned thing was lodged into her shoulder through the other side.<br/><br/>The pain wasn't anything she hadn't faced before, but never from one that was not of her kind. She tried to phase around the blade, but with something solid inside her or from the way the blade was glowing so darkly, she couldn't pull herself free.<br/><br/>Deciding to try another tactic, she kicked out hard, knowing it would damage her shoulder, but hopefully free her from his control of the blade.
