Astra screamed at the unexpected and fearsome sight of the ogre. That
caused it to hesitate for a second, which gave her the chance to dodge
past it.
It shot out a long, hairy arm in an attempt to catch her, but Astra was too quick. The ogre missed her body by an inch, but succeeded in grabbing a pawful of her loose diaphanous silk gown. There was a tearing sound, and then Astra was free and sprinting naked for the door out of the cottage. She made it through the door and ran off into the forest, with the ogre, the witch and Freda in hot pursuit. She wasn't built to be a great runner, even less so since she had gained those fifteen pounds. But the ogre was built for strength rather than for speed, the crone was an old woman, and Freda was no faster than Astra.
