"Ouch." I mutter and Assassin picks up his head and licks my face. "I've been worst." I told her with a small smile as he changed out the bandages. "Those where the guard I was running from before I met you." I spoke then remembered what they where after. I felt around my pocket then breathed out in relief after finding it. "Are you hurt Ari?" I asked hoping she wasn't. It would devastate me if she was.

I gentle stroke his hair. "I am fine. It only frightened me. Luckily there was a doctor who took action. You were bleeding out pretty bad." I say, scooting my chair up against his bed and sitting back down in it as I watch Doctor Freeman.
(sorry, gotta take a shower lol)

I nodded and rested my head in her hand lightly. It felt so good especially after such a long time. The Doctor nodded to me before walking out leaving Ari Assassin and I in the room together. "I'm glad your not hurt. It would kill me knowing that someone got hurt due to my foolishness."I spoke lightly and kinda in a forced out voice. "Only one person has fallen due to my foolishness and that was the woman who saved me off the streets." Slowly I looked up to her and frowned lightly but then wiped it away as Assassin moved my pocket. "Its still there Assassin. Don't worry." I then patted the beast still looking up to Ari.

I slowly reach down and take his hand in mine. "I think you should be more worried about yourself." I say, my eyes filled with concern as I listen to his words. "So, tell me... you are someone deadly?" I'm curious to know if he is an assassin, and what his business is in this town. Not many important people come to Darou. With my free hand I reach over and gently stroke Assassin's muzzle. The horse seems to care dearly for his master. There isn't much love like that in this world anymore. The thought saddens me as I remember my horse, Claire. She was a retired mount of a general in the French army. General William Pierce often sold us many fine beasts, but Claire was unlike anything he had ever brought to us. A magnificent white Andalusian mare, standing at 15.6 hands. Her long silky white mane and tale just added to her affect of beauty. William was a handsome young man, and had given Claire to my father as a proposal gift. He intended to marry me after his final trip to the palace, he was supposed to go guard King Louis and his queen, Marie Antoinette. But he never returned.

{{Cant have a 15.6hh a hand is only4 so that would be a 16.2hh horse}}
Slowly Assassin put his head on my chest then laid down next to us. "Deadly?" I paused, "More like very deadly. I am an Assassin as you heard and saw in the restaurant. " Assassin looked up and her and nodded before putting his head back down. "I haven't been one for long though. Maybe a year. The woman who picked me up was an assassin and trained me to be one. Lucky I knew most of it already, well other then the killing part." I continued and took a few moment to catch my breath. I then looked down to my chest to see a banged around it and frowned. "What all happened? I just remember shooting someone, then getting shot about 2 times then blackness." I asked her slowly and frowned still.

"I see. Well, I don't believe you would hurt me, so therefore I'd like to think you aren't deadly to me and I'm glad I'm not on the other end." I say, gently rubbing his hand. My eyes go to the covered wound on his chest. "You were shot." A sad expression falls across my face. Thank God Doctor Freeman was there, otherwise I'm sure he would have perished. "It will take you awhile to recover, but I wont leave your side." I assure him.

"Well, I hope you would leave it if you needed to relive yourself or get food." I spoke with a smile and looked up at her still. It was nice to have her rubbing my hand, it made me feel alittle better about the hole deal and I was surprised that she was ok with me being an Assassin. "Im really surprised that your not scared about me being an assassin. Most people who found turned me in and I would have to run the next day. Even if I was almost dead. If it wasnt for Assassin, I would be dead" I spoke and then took her hand in mine. "Sorry about talking all about me, tell me about yourself."

I smile as I listen to him. "You don't frighten me. I don't believe you would hurt me." I pat his arm gently. He truly seems like a good man, with a big heart. To take a lowly woman like me off the street is a good deed all in itself. "Well, what would you like to know?" I ask. It surprises me that someone actually cares enough to ask about my life.

"Well that is good, because it is true." I spoke then moved so that she could sit down beside me on Assassin if she wanted. He moved slightly and turned is back up in the air some more then nudged her to sit down. "Anything and all that you want to tell me." I spoke after groaning in slight pain. "Is there anything for pain that the doc left me?"

"Oh, he did leave some medicine. Hold on." I say, walking quickly to the other side of the room where a small bottle sits with liquid medicine of some sort in it. I get a small cup and pour some cold water in it and bring it back to him. "He said to take a swig of this every few hours. He'll be back tomorrow night." I say, opening the bottle and handing it to him. I then sit down on top of Assassin. Gently, I run my fingers through his mane. He is such a beautiful animal.

"Thank you." I spoke and watched her get up to get it. I then reached my hand out to take it from her and then took it all at once. It was horrible but it was something to ease the pain. "I'm not going to pass out from this am I?" I asked with a smiled then heard Assassin let out a sigh of breath and watched him close his eyes. "I think you found his sweet spot." I said as soon as his back leg began to move like a dogs back legs. "So anyways, sorry for all the interruptions, tell me about yourself."

"No, he said it wont make you sleepy. But he does will have new medicine tomorrow night when he comes back that will make you sleep." I explain, giggling a little at Assassin. "Alright, well... I used to live a few miles outside of this city, back before the revolution started. My father was one of the most prominent horse breeders and sellers from miles and miles around. King Louis even had many of our horses in his stables. My mother always seemed to be ill, yet she still made the walk out to the barns every day to visit each of the horses. My father loved her dearly, so did me and my little brother Edmund. Almost a year before the Revolution began to stir she died, the doctors said it was brain fever. I believe it was best that she had passed, so she wouldn't have to live through this Hell." I say, a tear rolls down my cheek as I remember my sweet mother, her face always held a smile.

I watched her with an interest before she started crying. "Oh wow. I'm so sorry." I told her and then gently put my hand on her face. "I saw my family hanged back in Italy. My father, brother, and sister. I never knew my mother." I spoke and looked up to her. Assassin picked his head up and looked at her.

I wipe my tears away. My heart aches for him. "My father was beheaded, my brother and I were forced to watch. Then they beheaded my little brother. They put my head in the guillotine but at the last second a rich man came out of the crowd and handed the executioner a note. Someone had saved my life. But truthfully, I wish I would've been executed that day. The man who saved me was a noble in the kings court. He was not at all a pleasant man." I pause, my eyes focus on nothing in particular as I flash back to the awful memories. "I was basically his sex slave for over 6 months..." I take a deep breath lay my head on Assassin's neck.

I shook my head at that last remark then looked up to her. "Some must think that a beautiful face means nothing but sex. " I spoke and closed my eyes. "I was forced to be a sex slave also, but I don't want to remember it. I escaped and rescued Assassin from the meat house along with his brother and mother. " I remembered everything so clearly. The smell of the animals and the blood, the sounds of their screams, the men and women who I was slaved out to. "What happen?" I asked as Assassin nickered gently.
