Rosalind Green's limbs felt weak, and she had little strength left. But a fire was smoldering in her heart—a fire that had been suppressed for four years. Even a clay figure has some fight in it, let alone a living, breathing person. Goaded by Phoebe Huxley, she really did lunge at Mandy York.
Mandy York's legs were jelly from running, so Rosalind's lunge easily knocked her down. Phoebe Huxley directed from the sidelines, "Pull her hair, slap her face, and kick her in the stomach!"
These were her three signature moves for a fight, and they were absolutely effective.
Rosalind's mind was a complete blank. She couldn't think for herself, simply doing whatever Phoebe Huxley said like a robot. And so...
Pulling hair, slapping faces, kicking stomachs.
Rosalind copied her every move, following Phoebe Huxley's instructions to the letter. Her strength was limited, so her attacks weren't as devastating as Phoebe's, but it was more than enough to make Mandy York suffer.
