ABC Story: Huntress Blood

And I drew my paralytic arrow back in perfect form.
Blood slithered down my face, past my eyes.
Can my arrow split the trees perfectly and hit him?
Dawn was approaching quickly, alerting me that I had a limited amount of time.
Even if I did hit him, would it slow him down?
Frost covered the blades of grass and crunched almost inaudibly as I crept, trying to get another view of my opponent.
Greg was the type to go in a match with full force, "Brawn over brains any day."
Horror filled me as he glanced in my general direction.
I became as still as I possibly could, any movement of any kind could tip him off of where I was.
Just as I thought, he saw me!
Knowing that I wouldn't escape him if I ran, I held my ground as he sprinted right toward me.
Loose and relaxed, I let my arrow fly with godspeed.
Missed.
Now, I was fucked.
Openings were non-existent with Greg.
Possibilities were existent with me, though.
Quickly as I use my hands, I loaded up another arrow within my bow and fired it off.
Remarkably, this arrow hit Greg directly in the thigh, causing him to collapse to the ground with a thud.
Sweat beaded my forehead and I quickly wiped it away to prevent it from dropping into my eyes.
Tired, I too dropped to the soft soil.
Unda, the announcer, lifted me to my feet.
Victory...
"Win!" Unda exclaims proundly with a booming voice, as if I were her own daughter. "Congratulations, you will advance to the next round."
Xu and the rest of my friends jogged toward me, giving hearty slaps on the back and playful elbows in my side.
"You did it, dude! You totally did it!" congratulated Xu.
"Zen did it."
