again, nice action scenes!
one beef, this sentence: “As he would loosen one root another would come up from the unsteady earth and wrap around his own legs.” sounds great alone, but it is present tense when the rest of the story is in past. also, it as a bit awkward switching from him grabbing roots to being grabbed in one sentence, but maybe that was just me.
And the second to last sentence, turned back to refuse knowing, sounds like she was trying to forget him “I refuse to know you!” :p
Otherwise, I am very happy you have strapped on your narrative fictional typing gloves and dove into some fantasy. You go girl!

I love this! I’d love to read more!

you are welcome to sequel

yeah, after rereading, I needed some proofreading…..I will work on that. Towards the last part "to refuse’ was supposed to be editted out. Sorry! Thanks for the catch!

okay so to pick Ron or to pick Katie? hmm

If you are talking to me about the sequeling… then… I just have to say that my stories aren’t so good. lol
