Jill heard the swoosh of an arrow or bolt passing by her, and she immediately crouched, leaning down low over Salma. It was a reflex more than an actual try to avoid any second shots fired, and she relaxed a little when none came. Instead a panicked voice was heard from a tree and a small figure started climbing out. Not an attack then.
Making Salma stop completely, Jill looked around her just to be sure, but seeing no one else, she relaxed an inch and suddenly anger surged forth. Jumping down lightly, she let the reins fall to the ground and stalked up at the girl, towering over her with an angry stare.
"Are you completely out of your mind? Have you ever seen any deer that looks like that?" she cried, gesturing back at her horse. She didn't know if the girl had seen a horse ever, the fact that she had just tried to shoot them might point in this direction, but nothing ever roused Jill to such anger as someone threatening her beloved horse.
