An unxpected result

​If it's one thing I have recently learned it is not to underestimate yourself.   You could believe whatever you wish until you find yourself in a situation where all you can do is use your  head.  There are times when you can only trust yourself.   In my case a woman was stalking me, blasted foreigners.  They often have something up their sleeve and in this case it was an Angmarim, Aeru get's involved with all sorts of people it seems.   Yet another thing we have in common our knack for bringing unwanted guests. Anyhow truth of the matter is I let my irritation get the best of me where I would otherwise be completely, utterly, terrified.  Why did I lead her out past the lumber camp? What in blazes was I thinking? Oh that's right I wasn't.  I'd call this all luck, but no it was a sharp mind and perhaps someone looking out for me.  You could either sit and wait to become prey, or let the hunter become hunted. She'll come back I know she will.. I left the sorry soul in a ditch out cold.   Gods I still can't believe I managed all that, at least I defended myself and perhaps distracted her for a time.  Maybe her attention will be more focused on me now?  I could only imagine what my Father would think if he were still here. Little Cassie girl picking fights with foreigners and not being a proper lady.   But anyway, that isn't the point.   The point is a woman was bothering me and I defended myself.   But if it's one thing I won't get is it's cocky, there is always room for improvement, I have a long road and much to learn.
