The deer charged at the little girl, who was left unprotected by the knights. Her scream caught Reeva off guard, and he quickly turned back. The sight was horrifying: the deer's mouth opened wide, ready to snap down on the girl and her mother.
Time seemed to stop for Reeva as he felt utterly powerless to intervene. But just before the deer could strike, one of the knights left his position, lunging forward to cut it down mere inches from the girl.
"AHHHHHHH!"
The little girl screamed, her life flashing before her eyes. Her mother tried desperately to shield her, and the knight's last-minute intervention saved them by a hair's breadth.
However, the knight who rescued the girl put himself in a difficult spot. He had to propel himself from his horse to make the save, leaving his horse unprotected. The horse was killed just as the knight saved the girl.
