How The Soothsaying Started

Rose the name for a flower

One elf in a drunken stupor tried to make advances towards Rose. At first the others hadn't noticed to her being so quiet. She was standing in the back when the elf with brownish-blonde hair started to limp towards her. He leaned against the wall and began to speak with a slurred tongue "You're not used to places like this are you?" Rose started to become increasingly nervous as he leaned closer and closer to her until he was practically hugging her side. The smell of Ale on his breath alone made her nauseous. Her eyes became wide and alert, and her cheeks burning hot. He wrapped his hand around her waist as she let out a small cry, not loud enough for anyone to hear over the music. He whispered in her ear softly "Please don't be scared little one, I'm gentle" she began to quiver very lightly as he chuckled in amusement at her fear, a few tears escaped her eyes. He lifted her face and kissed her cheek, and sniffed her hair. She couldn't move, as he tugged at her clothes, her body was frozen or almost stitched to the elf himself.

The others were walking toward the bar when Snow looked around them in realization and asked in a worried tone "Where has Rose gone?" Charles looked back near the entrance to see her being held by a stranger, she looked terrified and the man looked to be getting quite touchy with her. He motioned

Admin and Nicklaus to follow him, they could already depict what was happening. Admin was the first one to get there, he gave the elf a shove, stepping him away from Rose. Admin looked at her, her cloudy eyes were starting to swell, tears flowing. Nicklaus was the first to speak up "I suggest you back away from the girl, before something...undesired happens" Charles began to reach for the handle of his sword to show the unidentified elf that they were being serious. The elf smirked, and spoke only directing it toward Rose "Your little boyfriends over here are cramping my style sweetheart! What do you say we get out of this piss-hole and find ourselves some place cozy?" He eyed her up and down while licking his lips lustfully. Charles shoved him into the nearest table, this caused the whole tavern to fall into silence except for them. "WHAT DID WE JUST SAY?" Charles asked in a angry tone. Admin didn't seem to care for patience and ran straight towards him, the elf stepped aside with ease causing Admin to fling himself onto the table. The elf ran right through them and surprisingly wasn't hit by any of their attacks. He grabbed Rose from behind, wrapping one arm across her shoulders and the other around her hips. His breathing was heavy in her ear, he began to hold her so tightly it was forcing the air away from her lungs. It was getting harder to move, harder to breathe, and harder to see, she felt so tired. He kept talking to her in a sweet voice saying "It's okay darling, you can sleep now" and then he would stop and kiss the edge of her jawline and neck. She was so tired and things were so foggy, but then all of the sudden she was on the floor gasping for air she looked behind her to see not only Admin, Charles, and Nicklaus on top of the elf practically caving his face in, but also several of the other patrons kicking him and then one of them grabbed the elf and threw him outside. For a second all Rose could do was stare at the whole scene and for only that second had she forgotten what had just occurred. She sat there motionless until Nicklaus offered her his hand. She took it and stumbled to her feet as tears flooded her eyes, and small hics from the sobs grew louder. She wiped her eyes and looked up at the three standing in front of her. Her eyes grew wide when she saw Admin, Charles, and Nicklaus's faces covered in blood. She forced her head back down and practically screamed at the floor "I am so sorry, please forgive me!" Admin told her in almost a chuckle "There is no need to apologize, trust me it's okay." she shook her head furiously "No! It's not alright! You all are covered in blood and have bruises all over your bodies because I was a coward!" She began to cry once more " I didn't know what to do, I was so scared, I just....I just.." she quietly studered "Honestly there is no need to fuss over us, but did you really expect us to just let him do that to you?" asked Nicklaus. Rose shook her head, took deep breaths to calm herself and wiped her eyes with a sniffle. "Well...at least let me fix you guys up before you pass out." she said very calmly. She led them to a bench and sat them all down, before pulling up a chair for her to sit and work. She untied a ribbon from around waist and used it to pull up her hair. Each of the boys noticed how different she looked with her hair out of the way, her face was small and almost tear drop shaped, you could even see that she had some light freckles, her eyes were still pink and swollen, but she seemed a lot calmer than before.
