The moment Danny felt the boy grab her arm, she knew he was a fighter. She reversed the pressure she had been putting on that arm and was able to wrench it free from his grasp just as he hurled all his weight to the left. With a quick step she was out of arm's length and crouched, ready to see if he would attack again.
And that's when Ronald Norris dove in. Her heart leapt into her throat as the lad tackled the rebel to the ground in a mad rush of amateur mistakes. clearly, he had never been in a fist fight before. Agonizing seconds went by as she stood in utter shock at the two boys wrestling on the ground, then just as quickly as it happened, she snapped out if her stupor and formed the foundation of a plan and sprang to action
Glancing out of the woods, Danny saw the colonists gathering at a low spot in the field, and from her brief study of the map earlier she recognized it to be Crooked Creek. She then shouldered her way into the wrestling match and grabbed the rebel by his back collar, flinging him aside for precious moments. Grabbing Ron, she shoved him back towards their own lines, "Run, lad! Tell Howe they're gathering at Crooked Creek! Ah'll be right behind yae!" She hissed.
Turning back to the rebel, she brandished her knife and put a hand on the sword at her hip, "Ah've got nae quarrel with yae, but I will fight if needed. Let's just go our separate ways and live tae fight another day." She had been backing away slowly and was nearly enveloped by the foliage around them, she could only hope the boy saw sense and turned back to his own lines.
Finished
