Khaat apparated with the woman miles and miles away from the Tower Villa, on a rocky cliff overlooking the sea. She drew her wand and barely got time to get it out of her pocket before she was being fired upon. She refused to let anyone else be dragged into hell again one more time with her. Whoever this was, was after her. And she wasn't letting any of her companions or family risk their lives because of her. Not even one more time.
This battle was not going to be short or easy. Because she was already wounded, Khaat was fairly evenly matched. She tried to bring every word Remus ever taught her back to her mind. She had to stay sharp, not miss a trick. It was going to take everything she ever knew, magic and muggle.

It was getting dark. The battle had literally raged for hours. Khaat was feeling like she was just completely exhausted. She was just firing now in the dark, blind with fatigue. Out of sheer luck, she managed to fire off a shot and she heard her opponent finally scream. She'd really hurt her this time. Finally. She fell, in a limp heap on the rocks, behind a very large rock that she had been using for cover. She glanced up to see the woman, bleeding profusely, finally shouting profane curses at Khaat and swear revenge, before she apparated out. She blacked out, in sheer exhaustion before she knew if she had been hurt or not.
