Up Is Down

Title Up Is Down
Rating PG-13

The blow comes from nowhere and she hits the ground instinctively. It doesn't hurt – much – it's the shock that gets her. The element of surprise that'll get her killed one of these days.

Not today.

She stands to face the new threat and suddenly it hurts in a way that has nothing to do with the ache in her jaw and has everything to do with the ghost of the knife twisting in her belly.

The whole world flips on her and suddenly up is down. Black is white. Good is bad.

Sorry Faith, I didn't realize that was you.
