Straining my muscles and putting all my effort into holding sharp teeth back from chomping down on me didn't leave me much time think about how to get a hold of the sword close to me. If I could hold this thing back with one hand, then that would be perfect. Unfortunately, physics didn't quite let me and I found that the only way for me to match this thing's force was using all my strength.
My bones felt like they were about to snap, and couldn't take any more strain. If I could somehow misdirect this thing, I might be able to grab it in time.
If I duck to the side, will that be enough? This thing could follow me, but will it be able to, since it's pushing in this direction with all its strength? I could just ask for help, but I don't want to give that man the satisfaction of having to save me and being able to lord it over me.
It's decided, I will duck to the side and hope for the best!
Let's go!
