Sasha rolled toward him, she could see he was still sleeping, his arms still protectively around her. Tears began streaming down her cheeks as she looked at him, she knew they would keep coming would they try and kill him just to make her go back. They had killed her family all of them she watched as her father and brothers were executed one by one followed by her only sister, such a small child barely able to lift a bow herself was struck down and she listened to her mother beg for her life before she too was executed. Three guards grabbed her and pulled her from the palace before she was seen. And even then they chased her beyond the vale into the human world.

He opened his eyes and looked down to see she was crying, he sat up slightly and lifted her as well and wiped the tears from her face.

"What's wrong?"

"I have no one." She said to him, he hugged her and looked back down at her.

"You're not alone."

"I watched them kill my entire family. They know they can't have total control of my world without either taking me back or killing me."

"Why?"

"My father was the king."

Clark was surprised by her revelation, Sasha slowly made her way to a sitting position and then stood. She walked unsteadily to the next room where she grabbed her bow and quiver and headed out the door. Clark walked out behind her, he touched her arm.

"Where are you going?"

"To face them. I can't put your life in danger, we have only just met but I already saw my brothers die, I can't watch another." She said walking forward away from him. Clark moved in front of her.

"Let me make that choice and it takes allot to kill me." Clark told her, he made her look up at him, his blue eyes looking at her golden ones. "I wouldn't do what I do if I didnt care. Come on let's get back inside. The sun isn't even up yet and I am guessing they wouldn't mind trying something in the dark."

"Elves are good but the creatures that are after me have lousy vision at night. But I will come back inside." Shd said relenting, her body still ached and she knew it and after the second attack her shoulder wasnt at peek shape to defend herself anyway. She followed behind him, not letting him see her pain or the fact she could barely walk as she used her long bow to keep herself standing. He turned and noticed and lifted her off the ground.

"You know if you say something it would be easier."

"I am the head of the kings guard, the elite marksman and best archer in the entire realm I rarely ask for help."

"I noticed." He said as they went inside. He looked over his shoulder he could tell something was off but he wasnt sure what. He had her lay back down and had her relax.

"How much does it hurt?"

"Allot. But I will survive. It will heal just a bit slower than I am used to. In my world it would have healed within a day or so. But here I am as human as your mother."

"You will be fine. Let it heal." He told her. "Are you still tired"

"Yes, but with them knowing I am here they will keep coming."

"Then I will listen for them. You won't heal if you don't rest."

Sasha nodded and leaned back against the pillows, her eyes were heavy and she slowly drifted off to sleep.

Clark knew he would have to keep watch because he too knew they would keep coming.
