[~echo~]

Peter nodded. "It's best to get out of an abusive place as quickly as possible.

[Етеяиiту]

She nodded, playing her part perfectly.

[~echo~]

They finally reached their destination. Peter helped the girl down off the horse and handed the horse's reins to a stableboy. He walked with Bella back to the kitchen, set down the supplies, and then smiled at her. "I must be going. I still have duty in the marketplace."

[Етеяиiту]

She nodded,"thank you for helping me Peter, I think you might have brought my whole life to a good place" she said.

[~echo~]

Peter nodded with a sweet smile and went to the stables to tack his own horse. He mounted his steed and trotted back down to the marketplace.

[Етеяиiту]

{{timeskip?}}

[~echo~]

(Sure, you start?)

[Етеяиiту]

{hmm ok}

That night, as the knights returned with their w****s or alone and drunk, some being carried by others, very, very few were sober. She made her last rounds, and as she walked back, one man, a particularly masculine and horny knight saw her and suddenly pinned her against the wall. She gasped and her eyes widened in fear.

[~echo~]

Peter was on his way back into the castle when he saw the other knight. He trotted up and grabbed the other man's shoulder, swinging him around to face him. "Get out of here," he said, his eyes narrowed dangerously.

[Етеяиiту]

The man frowned and pushed Peter off him, strolling away drunkenly. 'Bella' crumpled to the ground and hugged herself, shutting her eyes and trying to make the images that hung in her mind go away.

[~echo~]

Peter watched until the man was out of sight and kneeled down beside Bella, his eyes worried. "Are you alright? Did he hurt you?"

[Етеяиiту]

She shook her head once she had cleared her mind, unable to speak.

[~echo~]

Peter stayed by her diligently, watching her. He knew it could scare her if he touched her so he kept away.

[Етеяиiту]

She finally mustered the courage to pick up her things and stand up, swipping her hair from her fave and gazing at him,"thank you Peter"

[~echo~]

He nodded tensely. "If ever you need help. Let me walk you back to your room. It'll make me feel a lot better."

[Етеяиiту]

She nodded and stayed close, as if he was the only thing that stood between her and being brutally killed. She had suddenly felt images and memories of her time traveling to find him and it made her step away from him but stay close so he didn't suspect anything, she had to do it tonight, she had to get her revenge tonight.

[~echo~]

Peter still seemed worried when they arrived at her room. "Are you sure you'll be alright? You should lock your door and don't come out until morning time."

[Етеяиiту]

She nodded and gazed at the ground beneath her feet as they stood there.

[~echo~]

Peter watched her and gripped her shoulder gently before turning to walk to the barracks. There, he prepared for bedtime.

[Етеяиiту]

She flinched when he gripped her shoulder but quickly went in and prepared for he night.
