Good work, though this seems like the action leading UP TO the climactic battle, rather than the climax itself.

Also, in a couple places you used the same word twice in a sentence, and it doesn’t flow very well… “Pillow and pillow” and “head and head”.

But very good work! I see a fantastic story built around this work! You should keep writing, expand upon it!

I don’t find “pleads” as a plural noun, only as a verb. She could attempt to mask the pleading perhaps and it would flow better.
I also sense that the climax is coming up in a very interesting story.

Thanks to you both! Great editing advice!
