The Border Trilogy (Book #1) Enemies to lovers, Forbidden love

Part 21

My eyes widened as she came at me with her arm raised. I quickly shook my head and grabbed her wrist as soon as she was close enough. I twisted it so that the stake fell out of her hand and then I pushed her.

"Stefani stop!"

I took a few steps away from her. She got up and ran towards me, lunging at me, grabbing my waist and knocking me down. As soon as I was on the ground, she had me pinned. She punched me square in the jaw, but before she went in for another one, I used a defense technique Darien taught me. I put my arms in front of my face with hands balled up in fists to protect my face. When she tried to punch a second time, she hit my wrist. 

I thought quickly and brought my knee up and kneed her in the back, causing her to arch backwards. As soon as she did. I grabbed the collar of her shirt and rolled over so that I was on top of her. 

"Stefani stop! You don't have to do this!"

"Don't talk to me!" she yelled and headbutted me. 

I fell over as she got up and ran to get the stake. When I realized what she was going to do, I got up quickly and ran crawled to her grabbing her ankle and knocking her down.

"Get off of me pig!" she yelled.

"Stefani please! You don't even know me!"

"I don't have to!" 

She got up and tried to punch me but I kicked her in the stomach and ran to the stake. I grabbed it but as soon as I turned around she lunge at me once more. She grabbed me by my neck and shoved me to the edge of the cliff. I dropped the stake and tried to shove back.

"Stefani!"

She was strong, I was about to fall over.

"Stefani!"

I had no choice, I headbutted her and shoved her back. She fell to the ground three feet in front of me but then got up.

"Stefani, just think about what you're doing!"

"Oh I thought about it, and Stetton's gonna be so proud of me!"

She raised her hand and I noticed she was holding the stake. My eyes widened as I looked to the floor, the stake, she must've gotten it when she fell.

I looked back up as she threw the stake at me. I ducked as it flew over my head, I looked down to see it fall but by the time I looked back up, she lunged at me again.

If she gets me this time, I'll fall over. So as she lunged at me, I ducked and when she was within arms reach, I grabbed her, and though over me- over the cliff.

"Ahhhh!" she yelled as she flew over.

"Stefani!"

I ran to the edge of the cliff, got down on my knees and looked over. She was hanging on a branch, her fingers barely holding as she hung there.
