I crashed heavily to the ground, and my chest seized as my breath was forced from my lungs. I could taste and smell the damp forest soil and musty leaves as I fought to draw a breath. My left arm tingled with pins and needles as I desperately tried to push myself back up.

By the time I got to my knees, I heard movement in the ferns behind me. I whirled and drew my sword, and got into a crouched defensive position. Two men approached slowly, short blades drawn, and slowly moved apart in an effort to flank me. They breathed heavily, but their eyes told me they were ready for a fight. “Don’ make us hurt you’s, girl. You’s not worth as much if you’s all marked up.”

My eyes flashed back and forth between the two of them. “You wankers don’t scare me. I can easily handle both of you, even if you do try to take me from two sides.” Then I paused. Crud. There had been three of them.

“Where is your leader?” I asked, trying to sound confident despite a sinking feeling. “He cowering back at your wagon?” A crackling leaf behind me answered that question. As did the voice from behind me. “Oh, you’re sure to be ‘taken’ from more’n one side, Ranger Girlie.”

“Piss-biscuits,” I muttered to myself. “Sloppy, Aly. Really sloppy.” Evie never would have made a mistake like this, I chided myself.
