[As soon as Veronica stops moving, Ava pushes the woman's corpse off of her and stands up. She takes a deep breath, rights herself, and pulls the axe from where it's embedded in Veronica's arm.
She raises the axe and swings it down on her corpse, again and again. She was instructed to make this messy, and she means to. By the time she's finished, Veronica's corpse is in pieces, but still recognizable. Ava drops the axe down, wiping a bead of sweat off her face and leaving a smear of blood in it's place.
She gingerly touches her throat. The skin is red where Veronica pressed down her hands, and she'll have to hope the bruise won't appear until the trial is finished.]
