Everything in the ground and air settled. No need describing the havoc Rosalind wrecked.
Some died, some ran off into the hills. The wagon fell over almost instantly.
But two survived. Mr. Harris and Rosalind. And they were deadlocked within gunshots of each other, blood pouring down Rosalind's face, making it more beautiful in the sunlight.
"You thief."
"You fool."
"You have no heart."
For some reason, this simple comment made Mr. Harris's finger trigger waver a bit and his aim was off.

Oh, I like it! So simple and yet so powerful.
Thanks!
I like how you skipped to the good part: the showdown!
Great job, Lisa! Short and to the point and sets up a great ending for Aubrie.
