Your heart pounded against your chest as Helena ushered you into the back room of your home, quietly closing and locking the door behind her. You curled into yourself as she rushed over to the window and pulled at the curtain to peer outside. When she was satisfied with what she saw, she pushed open the window and grabbed the crossbow that was sat against the wall.
"Y/N," she whispered, crouching down in front of you. "You need to get out of here."
Your eyes widened and you shook your head. She tried to give you a gentle smile, but her eyes kept darting towards the door and window, so it was hard to act calm for you.
"I... I can't," you croaked.
The two of you had been curled up on the sofa, drifting off in the evening when you heard the window on the front door shatter. Helena instantly jumped into action as the voices of at least two men begun and planned to do her best to keep the two of you safe and make sure the intruders regretted ever breaking into your house.
"I can't have you here," she whispered. "You need to get to safety and get out of here."
"I can't leave you," you said.
"I can handle myself," she assured you. "But I can't focus on getting rid of these arseholes if I worry about you getting hurt."
Tears streamed down your cheeks as the two of you heard the men walking around your home whilst you both tried to talk in hushed tones to hide your location.
"There's no one out there. You just need to run as far away as you can. I'll find you; I promise."
You knew it was the right decision and you wished that Helena would run out with you, but you knew far too well she wasn't about to let them walk away from this. You shakily got back on your feet and made your way over to the window, looking back at her.
"What about you?" You whispered. "I don't want you getting hurt either."
She smiled softly at you, taking your hand and giving it a squeeze. "I'll be fine, I promise you but it's dangerous, please go."
Although you could feel yourself shaking, you hooked your leg out of the window, ready to let your legs carry you away from the house.
"I love you," you whispered.
"I love you too."
