Coco debated whether she should walk away, but this was the first she’d seen of Carmine since she and Bertilak had escaped from police custody. It wasn’t likely the Grimm would be able to defeat her; Coco suspected they were more of a nuisance than a real threat for the seasoned fighter. But if Carmine was weakened in the battle, Coco might be able to get an advantage over her.

She watched while Carmine tangled with the antlered Grimm, admiring her strength and skill. The Huntress vaulted over a Jackalope’s head to land on its back, then grabbed the horns and twisted them, jerking the monster’s head sharply until its neck was broken. As it faded away, she leaped onto another Jackalope. She stabbed down into its back with one of her sai, then threw the weapon into another creature’s eye. The weapon electrified, destroying the Grimm. The sai flew back toward Carmine as the Grimm reared back, sending the Huntress tumbling. She landed hard and her weapon dropped into the sand.

Uh-oh, Coco thought.
