It growled again, more angry than ever. She knew that she couldn't stop it with leaf blades alone. She would have to do something more than that to get through. She couldn't even be sure the blades were doing anything other than annoying it.
How long could she keep outrunning it? She was considerably faster than it was, making it look frozen in time compared to her swift movements, but that didn't actually solve her problem.
