I had already leapt up and was dashing towards her, but not even I was fast enough. Suddenly though, I felt a rush, almost like wind against my skin, even though nothing else was moving, no ripples, no trees rustling, yet I felt it all the same... A motion caught my eye, or rather, the change of motion. I saw the water in the river, I saw the leaves falling, but it was as though it was in half time. However, I was under no such hinderance. I rushed forward, at what was an impossible speed, even for a weapon, and pulled her arm away from her neck. The funny part was that even if I had wanted to, I couldn't have done otherwise. My body was operating on it's own. I felt a wave of weariness pass over me as I held her wrist in my hand, and I fell to my knees as the world speed up to normal speed.
