English term or phrase: would,t be denied
Then something rough and hard twined around my ankle and tugged. The ground didn't want to release me, but the hard ropelike touch wouldn't be denied. It gave a massive heave, and I shot out of the mound of earth like a bullet from a gun.

Luego algo áspero y duro se enroscó en mi tobillo y tiró de mí. La tierra no quería soltarme, pero el tacto duro similar a una soga no se denegaría. Dio un gran impuso y salí disparada de la boca de la tierra como una bala de una pistola.
