A dynamic thrust to Amanda's face left her nose bleeding. She had to take several steps back, away from Kiesha.
'Shit, I have got to stop getting hit in the face!' She reminded herself, focusing on recovering from the punch.
"Stop this! Stop this now!" Christopher ordered, seeing Amanda get hurt again. His heart was ready to jump out of his chest, feeling more nervous than before.
Amanda merely wiped her face with the sleeve of her shirt and pressed her nose with her fingers. She said, "No! I'm not stopping!"
She was already halfway through, and she could see Kiesha hobbling, focusing her weight on her other leg.
Amanda felt her torso was sore, but her legs were still functioning efficiently and that was her upper hand. She yelled again, "I'm not done yet. Chris! Let me finish!"
The soldiers and the advisers were already mocking Amanda. Among the two, Amanda's face was the most bruised. They did not realize how Keisha had not yet charged at Amanda, despite having an opening.
