Torri's shoulders ached. The stiffness with which they were wrenched behind her was creeping down her ribs, and she did her best to stretch, but all it did was tingle sparks through her fingertips. She hated to think what this was doing to her brachial plexi, the tangle of nerves and vessels slowly being pinched to death under her clavicles.
The light around the door frame shifted with movement outside, and Torri seized what was likely a risky opportunity to call for aid.
"HELP!"
She yelled. The universal word for distress.
The door wrenched open. The light that spilled in blinded her momentarily, but not before realizing the silhouette of a towering figure moved close.
Her head wrenched around, face exploding with the force of his kick. Her mouth welled hot with blood that drained simultaneously over her lip and sickeningly down her throat. A molar wiggled loose in the stream she spit out.
Upon the heels of some not so nice foreign words, the door closed, and she was left alone. Once the stars faded from her sight, she tried to plug the tooth back into place, if only to help the wound clot. Her eyes still stung.
So that didn't work out so well.
