She moves too slowly, sees his blow too late, and while she rolls with it as best she can, his fist still crashes into her jaw hard enough that, for a moment, sun-bright lights explode at the corners of her vision. Her head snaps back, and she tastes the sharp tang of salt bursting in her mouth as she staggers back against the wall, her lip splitting against her teeth.
Her head spinning, she steadies herself against the wall with one hand, spitting blood in the general direction of his hulking, blurred form. Her eyes are bleary and unfocused, but she narrows them at him nonetheless, lips drawing back from her bloodied teeth in a snarl. "Fuck you," she hisses, but there is a slurred edge to her voice, and she sways a little where she stands, clearly knocked off-balance by his punch. Unconsciously, she raises her free hand to the side of her head, as if to steady it. "I'll not walk like a lamb to your slaughter. I... You will pay. For this. For all else. Pay in blood."
A threat which might be a great deal more threatening if it weren't coming from a naked, unarmed woman whose bloodied face is pale with dizziness and fear, and whose whole body is trembling now.
