Within the next week, I found myself reluctantly enjoying my stay, but hating the fact that I couldn't go out much. I also found the dresses in the wardrobe quite comfortable, and perfect for my figure. I often modeled them to myself jokingly in the mirror, but I stopped since I noticed some of the men looking up to my window….A-heh-heh…

It had taken me a while to notice that Tavington had many more intentions for me than I had

thought before. Almost desperately he tried to seduce me, but I turned and fled to my room, or just stepped back, giving him the idea that he was being completely sick, but he still tries.

Occasionally I'd see Captain Wilkins about the camp, and he's been so kind to me. He's not rough, and hard like Tavington. He's generous, as if he's glad that I'm there.

One day while I was out in the large fenced area where Tavington had kept me away from the base and out in the plains, he had to leave to attend to some business. I trotted around on my horse with no-name, waiting for something interesting to happen, but naturally, nothing didn't. Until, I saw someone coming over the hilltop. I figured it was Tavington, coming back to get me, only to take me back to the base, and lock me up in room for the rest of the evening. It was only when I he entered the fenced area that I noticed it wasn't him. It was Wilkins. I hadn't been happier to see him, and I trotted over to him with a wide smile on my face.

"Hello…"

I greeted cheerfully

"What brings you out to my part of the plains?"

He smiled, and laughed lightly, noticing it was actually part joke.

"Colonel Tavington has sent me to retrieve you…"

My smile faded, and I looked down, my happiness disintegrating into thin air.

"But…I want to help you."

He said. At that exact moment he had finished his sentence, I looked up, a small, grateful smile on my face.

"how?"

I asked, trying to make my voice slightly wobblier than usual to achieve the same effect as if I was getting teary ((haha!)).

He looked around, off into the distance, and then back at me.

"come with me"

I gave him a puzzled look, but abandoned my still unnamed horse, and mounted his. I sat behind him, my hands gripping around his waist. I realized that he had some of the most perfect posture I had ever seen. We started riding slowly, towards a thick woods a couple yards off. Luckily, the guards were gone back at the base, and nowhere to be seen. He finally picked up the pace as we started disappearing into the dark mist of the trees.

I couldn't tell where we had stopped, but it was darker, beams of sunlight creeping their way through the thick trees and greenery. It was near a small pond of crystal clear water, glistening in the peering sunlight. It was like one of the books that I had read, a fantasy forest.

He got off the horse, and held out a hand to help me down. I obviously wasn't expecting this, since nobody had done that for me before. I placed my hand in his. His skin was smooth and soft. I stepped down, observing my surroundings closely, and savoring every bit of it.
