on the run

Yes.
"I'll come with you..." you say hesitantly.
Roan's expression changes for a quick second and you notice something. He has a scar right below his eye. Huh, I've seen that scar before. You reach into your mind and recall a memory.
*Memory Flashback*
"Jessa!" A little kid screams at you as you run forward. "WATCH OUT!" You spin your head around just in time to see a huge dip in the yard. You try to stop yourself but you end up tripping over your baby blue dress and fall into the dip. Screaming, you attempt to climb up the slippery slope but you fail. You plump down on your behind and start to weep.
"JESSA!" A voice calls out to you. Wiping your tears away, you look up. "Roan?" you ask at the small figure above you. "I'M COMING FOR YOU!" He shouts down at you. He slides down the side with a rope attached to his waist. Once the rope becomes taught he reaches for you. You grab hold of his hand and he pulls you close to him. Taking a deep breath, you feel relaxed by the smells on his shirt. Pine and honey.
Roan hoists you up and over your prison and you land onto sweet saftey. Roan climbs uo after you but before he can even put up a foot, he accidentally puts his hand on a twig. The twig snaps and sharp half of the twig shoots up and nails Roan in the eye. Roan howls in main and you stare in shock before running over to help him. You hoist him over and he looks at you. Blood is dripping down from a huge gash under his eye. You stare in awe but shake out of it quickly. Running as fast as you can with Roan clinging to you, you run to your mum and explain everything that happened.
                            *End memory*
"Roan? I mean Roan!?" you question trying to peice everthing together. "Roan."
"That's my name, don't wear it out!" Roan says chuckling to himself.
You stutter,"B-but..."
Roan grabs you and whispers,"Jessa, we have to hurry, I saw guards and they look hungry for some money. We need to get out of here. You have a horse, right?"
You nod.
"Great, lets get it then."
You and Roan run to the stables and as you unhook Balios, Roan grabs the reins to a golden quarter horse.
"Ready?" Roan asks.
"Yea, lets do this." you state calmly.
You both mount your horses and ride out into the town. You are just about a quarter of a mile away from the town boundaries but a guard stops both of you.
"Ma'am would you please get off of your steed."
He said in a commanding tone.
"And why would I need to do that? You question.
"Do it now or I will blow your head off." the guard says holding his gun.
