Somebody To Love

Home

The gates to the Castle open when Harmony approaches, escorted by Jared and his men. She lets out a breath and smiles, feeling tired but happy that she is home. She has to be honest. Harmony didn't fully believe she would see her home again, not even after the executions.

Back at the camp, she had watched as Jared and two of his men executed the rebels, leaving only their leader alive so they could bring him back to the Castle to be questioned. Jared had told her that Jensen wanted to talk to the man personally and Harmony isn't sure she wants to know what that conversation will be like.

Harmony climbs down from her horse, Jared helping her, and arms are quickly wrapped around her. Looking down, she sees the top of Elise's head, and can't stop the tears that start falling as relief floods her body and mind at seeing her little sister safe, hearing her cry as well.

She tells her that it's okay, and that she is okay, feeling her sister nod against her chest, before pulling away and stepping back, a teary smile on her lips. Elise's arms are quickly replaced by Jensen's, and as soon as Harmony feels herself wrapped in them, all her emotions come to the surface.

Harmony starts crying, tears staining his shirt, but he doesn't seem to care, his arms never letting up their grip.

-"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

-"I'm okay. Jared got there before they could hurt me or kill me."

-"Let's go inside."

Jensen looks back at Jared, and mouths a "Thank you.", before leading Harmony towards the door, seeing the man giving him a nod before leaving them. He will admit that when he saw that cut on her neck, his blood started to boil in his veins, wishing for a moment that he had been there to make whoever had cut her pay for it. But she is okay, and that's all that matters.

Harmony pulls away from Jensen and lets him lead her away from the courtyard. But when she looks up, she sees both Donna and Justice standing there, looking just as relieved and slightly worried as Jensen and Elise had.

Harmony takes a step forward towards them and is engulfed in a group hug, both women hugging her at the same time. She can hear Justice sobbing quietly, and Donna subtle sniffing, and tells them that she is okay.

Donna is the first to speak, telling her they were worried about her and that they are just happy that she is home, Justice nodding against her shoulder. Harmony tells them she is fine, just tired and happy that she is home.

Harmony feels Jensen's hand on her lower back, telling Justice that Harmony needs to rest, the young woman letting go at her father's words. Harmony gives them a smile, before being led through the Castle by Jensen, back to their chambers.

As Harmony walks through the corridors of the Castle, Lords, Ladies and servants, all smile at her, making Harmony feel welcomed back to her home. It was such a strange feeling and she can't wait to be able to be alone and collect her thoughts on everything that happened.

They reach their chambers and Jensen dismisses the servants, wanting to be the one to care for her. He takes her to their bathing room, helping her take her clothes off, and into the tub that is filled with hot water.

Letting the warmth of the water warm her body, Harmony allows herself to relax. She knows that Jensen will want to know what happened, but right now all she wants is to let the warm water do its job and relax her body.

-"Ask. I know you want to. So, ask." - She says, after a few minutes.

-"It can wait."

-"It's okay. You can ask."

-"You sure?"

-"Yes."

-"Okay. Tell me everything that happened. From the beginning."

Harmony closes her eyes and takes a breath, preparing herself to tell him everything.
