"Please help me they... they want to dismember me" Rosetta seemed terrified not only that it seemed by looking at her they where planning to do much more then that.
"Here" he placed his cloak on her to cover her since she didn't really have any clothes and guessing the people raided and burned her house down.
He heard a twig snap and pulled Rosetta behind him in a protective way.
"Hey give us that girl" a village man yelled out as he drew closer to them.
*gun cock*
"I'm afraid if you come to touch her you'll be dead" William said as he held the gun up slightly.
"Woah easy there young one we just want the girl" another village man appeared but seemed to only have his overalls on only.
"Why exactly? you've already inflicted wounds on her" he responded back but it showed venom laced in his voice.
"Come on you'll believe a woman over a group of men?" This village man panicked slightly because he knew the gun was load.
*three gunshots heard*

Rosetta looked at him but was shaking slightly "p please..."
She got picked up by him.
"I'm not going to harm you just going to take you to my place to help you" he said as he walked out the forest with her in his arms.
" t thank you, thank you" she kept repeating, if he had to guess she wasn't used to this type of kindness before.

As they entered the house William grabbed a first aid kit and some dressy clothes for Rosetta.
"Let's get you patched up yeah?" He voiced out but his mood switch from one of a Predator to docile.
Rosetta nodded and moved the cloak off her back showing inflicted whip lashes that where still bleeding.
"I have an offer for you Rosetta" he said as he stitched them up carefully.
"Hm?" She seemed curious about it, "what is it exactly?" She asked quietly.
"You work here at my house, chores, gardening the works and in return you get a home, shelter food and protection" he said as he finished.
"So a helper?" She voiced out that question to him.
"Exactly" he smiled gently to her "so your choice?" He responded.
She paused and thought about it for a second.

"Alright I accept your offer" she responded as she nodded.
"Good I'll introduce you to my family tomorrow" he said with a smile putting away the first aid kit.
