Ignoring the pain that flared in her side, Faith swung the axe she'd brought up and cleaved the thing's leathery head off.
Stumbling over to one of the mausoleums, she’d collapsed to catch her breath. A hospital visit was inevitable for this one, and she was going to be pissed if they tried to say anything about surgery. Gazing down at the jagged gash in her skin, Faith sighed.
“That’s gonna leave a scar.”
