I sighed, plopping down onto my canopy bed, my sore muscles easing in euphoria. My chestnut brown hair was soaked in sweat as my eyes closed in fatigue. I was drifting off to sleep, but a segment of my thoughts were straining me to stay awake. That girl...
The one I just rescued from a burned down village. The poor girl was covered in cuts and bruises, she had been shaking and traumatized. I took her in and let the maids clean her up, I had no idea how a ... girl I just saved from death could probe my thoughts so easily... I stood up slowly and walked out, ignoring the aches of my muscles. I... felt uneasy, that I left a girl to fend for herself in the castle.
I slowly walked into the room that the maids let her rest in, knocking on the door lightly to make sure she knew someone was coming in. Slowly, I turned the doorknob, peeping. She was on the bed; stiff and tensed. I walked in slowly, closing the door behind me. I sat on the bed next to her, careful to make a small distance, so not to make her even more uncomfortable than she already is. "Um.. Do you know your name?"
Her blue eyes--filled with doubt--looked at me, then, waited for a few more seconds before opening her mouth. "H-Hrist."
"That's a lovely name." I smiled at her, her voice was very much like a bell. I felt tempted to ruffle her hair and to break the ice around them. My hand moved to her head, I looked at her to see any hints of wanting him to stop. To his surprise, she was clenching her eyes shut, waiting for something. "Is anything the matter?"
"I'm sorry, but don't hit me.. I won't do it again, I promise..." She went on, terror and fear thick in her expression. She was near to tears, something... terrible must have happened.
My hand dropped from her head to her rough cheek that had a bruised on it, thankfully the maids had bandaged all of her wounds. I slowly and gently rubbed her cheek soothingly, trying to calm her down. "What happened..?"
" I.. was abused.." She slowly said, her hesitation melt away, feeling a sense of security.
"C'mon. I promise you, no one here would abuse you. You're safe now."
