Jaime dove out of the way just in time but rolling like that pretty much devastated his injured leg.

Which left him on all fours on the forest floor, crying out in pain, totally at her mercy.

He was not going to win this fight, he knew. They'd told him they were coming for him, but he was pretty sure they wouldn't come fast enough.

That changed things, the idea that he was going to die. Accepting it. That changed things.

So, he was probably going to die. Fine. He had to see if he could take her out with him. Not kill her, as much as he wanted to, but at least knock her out so whoever was coming for him could keep her from hurting anyone else.

That was why, as she approached, he dove at her legs with a loud cry, since he was already on the ground. He tried to knock her over, knowing that the thick back of the suit would be harder to cut through than the other parts of the armor. He was probably going to be fatally injured anyway, but maybe he'd at least get a few hits in.

"Murderer!" he cried out shrilly. "You want to kill me, fine, but I'm stopping you from killing anyone else!
