Redtail Rise whose woods these are I think I know

Being a rock has its downfalls. In this case, literally.

She allowed the red woman to take her down, to pull at the skin between neck and shoulder, and was dragged to the ground. She did not fight it, half because she did not want to, and half to hopefully save herself a worse injury from pulling herself away and tearing skin. She dropped like a stone to the earth, heavily, immediately.

Perhaps this sudden drop and lack of fight would surprise the red woman, throw her off balance. Or perhaps the woman would follow through and hold her fast.
