Hi, people. I've got one final left so I don't know when I'll upload next. Like I say I do it better when I'm procrastinating and since I'm gonna be done till September... yeah... I'll see if I can continue. I've only got till like chapter 10 in my outline and I don't like how it is so far. It needs some rewriting but I only do that in lecture and that won't happen honestly till September. I'll see what I'll do this summer. Maybe I'll get a few out.

So, yeah, if you're wondering, I fainted. And let me tell you something, waking up from a fainting spell is just horrible. You feel like shit, you want to puke, and you have no idea what is going on. It is the worst sense of confusion ever. It took me much longer than it should have to shake this confusion and realize what had happened. I had been ambushed by bandits. I had to let it sink in.

Then I was completely alarmed! The only theory that worked with the last thing I remembered was that I was captured by bandits! I shot up from the bed and realized that… I was in a bed. I figured they would have at least tied me up to… unless… oh crap…did they?! Or are they going to?! If not, I was getting out of there…well either way I needed to get out of there! I looked around the room and found my sword and cloak. Why'd they leave that there? I got up to reach for my stuff when the door started to open. I lunged for my sword and as soon as I had it I looked up to see that tall blond man staring down at me.

"You!?" I yelled in disbelief. "What are you doing here?!"

"Calm down. I—"

"You…You're bandit! Is that why you didn't want me to go alone? So you could take advantage of me in my sleep? And when I left you, you got your bandit goons to kidnap me! Oh my gosh! You were alone with me at that inn! What did you do to me then?!"

"What?! Nothing!" He thought for a bit. "How can I be a bandit if I saved you from those other bandits?"

"A rival team! You took them down for convenience and then you took me for pleasure. I was just an innocent girl with amnesia and you took that away from me! That's it, isn't it? It was so easy to take a young girl with no past wandering alone! You were warning me about people like yourself!"

"Well—"

"You're just a hypocrite!" I'll admit, by this point in my rant I was becoming slightly delusional. "Your lure young girls with your chivalry but really you are just the opposite!"

"Can you please calm down?"

"How can I calm down after finding out what you've done to me?! My innocence! You must have thought 'since she doesn't remember anything, I'll do anything!'"

"Please, can you keep it down?"he was practically begging but I was still going.

"Why would you want me to keep it down? Isn't this one of those things you bandits brag to the other bandits? I lived among your type. I hid my gender so they wouldn't do this to me but I heard them wanting. I heard them bragging. Most don't believe without witnesses and something tells me you've got a whole group of them out there listening? So why would you want me to keep it down?! If I keep at this you'll have plenty of proof. You had an innocent young maiden in your chamber! You took advantage of her when she was out cold and that wasn't good enough for you so you came back. Or did they not believe you? Is that why you came back? To prove to the others?!"

"Quiet, please, you'll wake the others," he must have stopped caring about the content.

"Where are we?! You're bandit hide out? What? Don't want me to wake up the rest of your fellow goons?"

"No, the other people staying in this inn."

I then realized that in his hand he held a plate of food. I suddenly got very confused.

"What? I…? Oh…"I just sat down on the bed I was just so confused. "Please," I looked him in the eyes, "Tell me what happened. I'm just so…"

He sat down next to me and brought me the plate. "I thought you might be hungry. Don't get mad but I've been following you. From quite a distance, though. I was going at the same pace as you and eventually I heard the sound of a sword fight. I ran to it and saw you drop your sword. I took over from there, you remember?"

I shook my head.

"You were watching and went down after I took the last one down."

"I don't… after I dropped the sword… there is nothing…Dammit! I hate not remembering!"

He let me calm down. I started to eat. I actually was starving.

"So," I finally asked, "why did you follow me?"

"I was worried."

"But you just met me."

"It doesn't feel that way."

I stared at him for a while then asked, "And… your friend?"

He laughed, surprisingly, "I can watch you and look for her too. You don't know where you're going and neither do I. Why not go together?"

I didn't know how to feel. "You'd do that for me?"

"Of course, I'm used to looking out for people," he paused. "I didn't do so good last time, but I promise," he looked me in the eyes, "I won't fail you."

I blushed and looked away. "Thank you."

Ha ha, awkward. By the way, I've got a fainting problem and based that description on the first few times I've fainted. It sucks, I don't know why it was considered romantic. The last few times haven't been as gross but definitely confusing.
