She nodded and stepped forward. Valeska stood there, with no weapon and not even getting into a stance, she just waited. Her confident smirk turned into a grin, “well…come and catch me...if you can…�
The bandits were even more confused now, but Valeskas manner had them highly annoyed now. One of the men with a sword came at her, and at what seemed the last second Valeska sidestepped and tripped him. He fell flat on his face and she examined the blade she had snatched from him at the same time. “I’m surprised, you couldn’t steal a better sword?� He got to his feet quickly at the insult, coming around with a fist.

He swung it at her with one hand, but Valeska quickly got behind him and pinned his other arm painfully against his back. He yelped and let go of the ax.
“Quiet!�
The man whimpered but shut up quickly.
“Pick up your friends and get your sorry carcasses out of my way,� she let go and kicked him over.
“Yes ma’am!� He got the other two men and left as fast as he could.
