The guard raising his beefy hand and struck her across the face, knocking her down. The scarecrows reached for her in alarm simultaneously, showing the link they shared as twins.
Hearts acted as if he really had hit her, but she had brought her hand up at the last second, slapping her hand on her cheek that made the crack of sound that echoed in the room. She kept her face turned down as she fell onto the floor, one hand still clutching her cheek to keep suspicions at bay. She couldn't let the guard see her face, see her smirk that told him that she had bested him after all.
She was a clever girl. She only hoped her cleverness lasted.
