Ravensblood Forest A Reoccurring Dream

Satisfaction swelled in her chest as her teeth met the skin of his leg and his body toppled to the ground with her shove. She expected more resistance from him, so she put more force behind her push than was probably necessary, leading to her landing on top of him as he hit the ground. She smirked at him anyway, quickly calculating her next move.

But she turned out to be too unprepared for her own success and was met with a strong kick of his back legs to her stomach, which she had forgotten to protect. Lesson learned. She stumbled back off of him, trying to hide the fact that he had partially knocked the air from her as she landed half on the ground. 

Pushing through the pain, she got back to her feet and focused solely on him. Her eyes traced his movement again as she waited to see what he would do and if she would have time to try another attack.
