[i]I'm in the open, no where I can run.[/i] The voice in her head became rattled, her mind thought at breakneck speed for a way out but saw no answers.

Hope was returned but it didn't change that she was stood without much cover between her and the attackers and now that James was firing it would be only a matter of time before they fired in her direction. "No." She slowly stepped backwards and waited for the pain of death.
