Chapter Fourteen

WHAT THE…?”

This was beyond strange. This was…

She looked up to see the branch swoop toward her again, this time even closer to the ground and to her. Kate had to duck even lower, sticking the side of her face right onto the ground to avoid getting hit.

“…all right?” Sir Arthur’s voice shouted out from somewhere behind her. It was quickly followed by the sound of his pounding footsteps as he ran toward her.

“Watch out, Sir Arthur!” she shouted back at him. “The tree…”

“I see it,” he answered.

Another branch cracked. Kate looked up to see if somehow Sir Arthur had broken off the huge branch that had attacked her. But no, it was still there and swinging back toward her. She ducked once again.

Booted feet straddled her, followed by a sharp thunk as one branch met the other.

She turned and looked up. Sir Arthur had somehow engaged the tree in battle using another branch as a sort of sword with which he beat back the attacking tree.

“You all right down there?” he asked, hardly winded, even though now that the tree had someone to engage with, it was doing so with more vigor. He took a step back to get a better stance. Kate was afraid he would accidentally step on her.

Besides, she was certainly not going to just lie here on the ground as a knight defended her. It was sweet and romantic—all that any girl with an imagination who had ever read a book could hope for—but it just wasn’t her.
