With the shield now protecting her, Sophie felt a LITTLE better, but only just a little. Just the sight of the Acromantula gaining on her made her more than uneasy, so she decided running for it was a better now than never kind of thing.

So with that thought in mind, she turned on the spot and began bolting for the ravine. She still had the shield around her, but she did need to maintain the spell. She focused mainly on getting to that ravine, but she also focused on keeping the shield around her so that the spell wouldn't fade.

The Acromantula got close one time, but the shield stayed put. Sophie was getting closer to the ravine--just a few more yards. Finally, she reached it...and not a moment too soon.
