"What happened?", she yells at the man.

Harmony follows behind the nobleman, as he is rushed to the physician's ward. His answer is still ringing in her ears. "We were attacked.", he had said, before she gave the order to take him to the ward.

As they rush through the corridors, all that Harmony can think of is how she needs to know what happened and if Jensen is alright. She sends word to Jared to meet her in the ward and tells herself that everything will be fine.

As soon as the man is settled in the ward, and the physician starts his assessment, Harmony asks him what happened. He tells her how the hunt was going fine, until rebels appeared out of nowhere and attacked. The guards engaged with the rebels, even though they were outnumbered, and people began either fleeing, some to a nearby village, while others to a neighboring Nobleman's estate, or fighting back.

Harmony asked about Jensen, hoping that he had fled. The man tells her that, the last time he had seen the King, he was fighting with two rebels and that he was the one who had told him to return to the Castle.

Just then Jared walks into the ward and Harmony doesn't waste any time. She tells him that Jensen has been attacked by the rebels and orders him to gather his best men and to bring back the King.

Right before he leaves, she adds that he should handle the rebels however he sees fit, but that they better know the price to pay when they go after the King. Jared nods, understanding what she means, and runs out to gather his men.

Harmony tells the man to rest before she leaves as well, making her way to the wall. As she stands there, watching Jared and his men ridding out to find Jensen, she prays that Jensen will be okay, her heart feeling as if it was being ripped from her chest.

Hours pass and there are no news. Harmony paces the courtyard, Donna and Justice now waiting with her and just as impatient. She keeps telling herself that no news are good news. If something bad had happened, they would already know, right?

Just then, she hears a guard yell incoming. The three women walk closer to the center of the courtyard and watch as Jensen, Jared, a few of the nobles and guards, ride in. Harmony lets out a breath, tears threatening to spill, as she sees Jensen climb down from his horse, banged up but alive.

Justice immediately runs to her father's arms, Donna following her close behind, giving Harmony a moment to collect herself. Jared approaches her and quickly tells her what happened, before she thanks him and sends him to see the physician, a gash clear across his arm.

As Jared nods at her and leaves, Jensen approaches her and pulls her close, whispering in her ear that he thought he would never see her again. Harmony tells him that he is home now and nothing else matters.

She stays in his arms a moment longer, before pulling away and excusing herself, leaving him with Justice and Donna. Harmony needs to be alone right now, she needs to make sense of what she is feeling.

She has been so worried about him, to the point of tears, and she doesn't know what to do with those emotions. She is still hurt by what he had done, but when the possibility of never seeing him again arose, Harmony had had a hard time imagining her life without him by her side.

Harmony needs to make sense of this, before she does something that might end up hurting them in the long run.
