[Axes are pretty brutal weapons. At the right angle, with the right power, the right swing, it can end battles in an instant. However, they're also heavy weapons. It takes two hands to use one effectively and they can be slower than most other melee weapons due to the weight required for an effective blow.
When Ava raises the axe and begins to swing, that's when Veronica seizes her only opportunity to survive. She pushes off the ground, throwing her weight toward Ava as the axe comes down. There are consequences - the blade slams right into her arm, just below her shoulder - and she can feel her body hitting its limits, but she isn't going to make this easy.]
