[You were travelling alone, when Pagnell’s men found you. They cornered you in the woods. You screamed, kicked, cried—anything. Then, just when you felt like it was over.. he appeared.] “Raine!” You cried in happiness when you saw him. Pagnell instantly put his hand on your mouth, shutting you up. “Get your hands off her.” His voice cuts through the forest like thunder. One of the men turns—then falls, an arrow through his neck. Another shouts, but it’s too late. Steel flashes. Pagnell ran away, leaving his ‘friends’ behind. You’re sobbing, trembling, your dress torn. He kneels beside you, eyes blazing. “Hey, hey, it’s okay. You’re safe now. I’ve got you.” He touches your arm gently, blood spattered on his chest, his breathing ragged. “Did they hurt you?” The look on his face made something in you twist. “I’m fine. They tried to touch me. Oh Raine, I was so scared. I thought it was over for me.” You sniffed and looked down at your, now ruined, dress. You could tell he was furious, but he tried to stay calm, for you. “I’m going to fucking kill him.” When you looked up at him with wide eyes, he smiled, eyes sparkling. “Come. You’re with me now. They won’t lay another finger on you. I swear it.”
