florence - enola holmes

...followed by fight combat.

campus- vampire weekend

"...followed by fight combat."
enola says before the man in the brown bowler hat grabs her by the shoulders, yanking her into the large alleyway.

-flashback-

"hands up! hands up! up!" eudoria shouts at young enola as they practice fighting.
meanwhile, florence walks around outside with a book about flowers, kneeling down to analyze every different type she sees.

-end of flashback-

enola and the man grunt as she elbows him in the stomach.
she flips him over her back, as he lands flat on the concrete.
i see enola her breath heavily for a moment, side rolling away, and running as fast as she can in those darn heels.
the man gets up and starts running after her, sadly but very much true, way faster then enola.
he hooks his cane on her dress, pulling her to the ground.

-flashback-

"up again. come on." eudoria says to young enola, as she recovers from a fall.

-end of flashback-

i see enola get back up and turn towards the man.
he swings his cane rather close to her face as she rolls out of the way.
he continues to swing it at her as she dodges every attempt.
they begin to travel backwards, when enola starts to fight back.
she yells as she spins with her hands on his shoulders, his hands on hers.
the man slams her into wall, as she falls to the ground once again.
"enola!" i shout beginning to run towards the scene.
"florence no! run!" she tells me.
i cant just leave her.
i stare at her for a moment as she shouts again.
"run! now!"
i look at my poor sister for a moment before obeying her orders.
i run away, trying to look for help.

enola's pov-

i raise my fists as the man begins to slowly walk towards me.
i raise my eyebrows, bending my fingers telling him to i'm ready to fight.
he launches his ugly self at me as i kick him hard in the face with my new burgundy boots.
he stumbles backwards, as i get ready to bring my leg up to his side.
he grabbed it.
he flips me over as i smack hard onto the ground once again.
it hurts quite a bit to say the least.
he walks towards my head.
the corkscrew.
i take a breath before performing,
well...
attempting to perform the trick.
it didn't work.
he looks down at me as i look back at him with wide eyes.
he picks me up off the ground and starts to spin my quickly, launching me into the room florence and i were previously exploring.
i land hard on my back as he closes the door behind him.
he pulls his right pants leg up, pulling a knife out.
i'm gonna die.
i back away, eventually getting up, as he walks towards me.
i put my fists up ready to fight while he gets closer.
he swings his knife quickly at me, but i dodge it.
i back away as he swings it again, dodging it once more.
just as i think he'll give up.
he stabs the knife into my stomach, hard.
i hold his wrists as my eyes go wider then they ever have.
he pulls the knife back out as i stare into the distance for a moment.
i came so close to death.
i look down at my torso, pulling the front of my dress slightly apart as the man looks at me rather confused.
i run my finger along the tear in my corset, looking back up in astonishment.

*enola*

i knew this would have a truer use.

i continue to back away as he points a finger at me.
"no more surprises." he tells me in a low voice.
i look down and shake my head slightly.
"no."
i slowly look back up at him repeating myself.
"no."
he begins to come towards me with the knife once again as i grab a bottle of the liquid i experimented with earlier.
i throw it onto the plate of ash as he backs away, small sparks hitting him.
i climb over the table as it continues to explode, the man trying to back away.
i run out of the door as the whole room starts to burst into flames.
i run as quickly as i can down the alleyway, shielding my eyes from and smoke or sparks.
florence comes running towards me, most likely to see what all the commotion was.
