Estelle spun around abruptly, her eyes catching a menacing figure charging toward her in the dim light. In each hand, they brandished a bottle of sulfuric acid, one after the other, flinging them viciously at Estelle and her friends.

Jonathan sprang into action, rushing forward to pull Estelle into his arms, wrapping her protectively with his heavy coat.

“Evelyn!”

Estelle shoved Jonathan aside and leapt forward, kicking the bottle away and tackling Evelyn to the ground beneath her.

Estelle clung to Evelyn, her back hand singed by the acid, a searing pain coursing through her skin.

All of this happened in a flash—a mere moment from the bottles being thrown to their explosive impact.
