'Rochelle stood up steadily, her eyes focused, her wits ready for any possible manoeuvre to help her escape. With one sudden move, she darted straight at the horse hitting it in the neck and screaming at the same time. The horse reared at the unexpected movement and noise, dislodging the rider, but it also blocked her escape into the dense undergrowth on the near-shore, so she turned and plunged into the deeper pool near the bank on the far side ...'
