.Rose.
Rose awoke with a start, the crate she was hidden in had hit the side of the wagon.
Rose cracked open the lid an inch and peered out, the greatforest was right there, she had finally made it.
In her excitement she climbed out of the crate, foregoing concealment she jumped off the wagon.
Four men turned to look at her, the biggest of the four laughed," well, what do we have here?"
Three of the men looked her up and down, lust filled their gaze, instantly she knew she had made a mistake," where is the knight Randall, I demand to speak to him," she spoke, but it was barely a whisper.
The large man laughed," do you now? Well, I demand you let me fuck you," and with that he made a move to grab rose.
One of the men behind him, caught his arm," stop this Ben, she is from pinevale."
Ben's eyes narrowed," get out of my way Jacob, or you will regret it."
Jacob released his grip on Ben's arm and stepped back, unsheathing his sword.
All three men advanced towards Jacob, unsheathing their own blades.
"Run," he told rose, and she ran, reaching the tree line she looked back, Jacob was unconscious and the three men were on her tail.
She ran faster than she had ever run, but the men kept pace, slowly catching up to her.
She ran deeper than she had ever dared, the three men followed behind her undaunted.
Her energy exhausted, she tripped over a fallen log and came crashing to the ground.
The three men caught up to and surrounded her," should have stayed put, I'm going to make you suffer."
Rose wimpered, pushing her back against a tree.
