The first bandit lunged fast, his hand snapping around Fran's slender arm before she could strike again. Her dagger sliced forward, but the man twisted his body just enough for the blade to miss, his laughter ringing cruelly. "Woops.... I won't let it hit me, little kitty! Hahahaha!"
With one rough jerk, he pinned both of her wrists together in his massive grip and shoved her back against his chest. Fran kicked, her sandals slamming against his shin, but his strength was overwhelming. She hissed, writhing like a cornered cat, her tail lashing in fury. "Let me go!"
Her struggles only made the bandit chuckle deeper. "Ohhh, Feisty, feisty kitty...., they'll pay double for you muahhhh hahahha!!."
