Caith have been walking all day and night. The road had been just as she thought it would have been. Calm and without any danger. She thought a lot when she left, should she take her sword and bow with her? No there would not be needed. She had some time thinking on her way back. Lyht, oh dear, she had nearly given up on to be happy again. After Mil left her again she first felt anger. He promised to not leave. Why did he go? Then the fear came, the fear that the brigands was coming for her after what she did. The first days after he left she looked the door and hide. Late at the night she was standing in the window hoping he would return. Months passed and no sign of Mil, no letter and he never come back. She started to fear for her life and for Roy´s life. She know that she needed to do something to save them both, or at least her son. As she found Lyth she know he was the right one. Her first plan was to get him to take Roy away from Bree. But as she started to notice the feelings he had for her she knew he would not let her stay. She needed to leave with them. Even if she know she put them all in great danger. She decided not to tell him before Roy was in safe hands. Now as she is sure he is she can help to feel that her feelings for Lyth is just the same as he has for her. What should she do. She woke up from her thinking when she felt the calm air touch her skinn. She was soon home again. She smiles as she now know she is safe again. She started to walk faster but just as she did someone jumped out on to the road just in front of them.
“Good day, madam. Are you lost?
Caith stops her horse and watches the hooded woman in front of her. Her pulse raised.
“Hello... No I am not lost. Who are you?” She asks.
The woman smiles to her as she speaks.
“I am a ranger of these woods. There is no need to be alarmed, although..the wilds are my domain and you need to pay a toll to use the road, naturally.
Started to feel scared but hide it well.
“No way I am. I know your type. I will never pay you anything.
The woman keep smiles as she speak with a fluent tone. There was a clear threat.
“It is for you own protection, madam. Such things as safe travels should not be taken for granted. Who knows what danger loom ahead and many journeys may end in perilous ways.”
Caith knew what is was she had in front of her, she had meet people like her before. She did not trust them.
“I can protect my self. I am not going to pay. Just let me pass now.”
The woman chuckles and move out off the way and show with her hand to pass. Caith hesitate for a moment before she walk on. As she come up near her, her horse jumped in fear for the woman. Just as she try to calm her horse she feel the woman move and she turn her head to her. At that same moment Caith got a full hand off finely grind pepper blown to her face and eyes. Caith screams as he eyes start to hurt. She rub her eyes to be able to see. The woman take the opportunity to grab Caith by her waist and simply begins to dragged her off the road.
“Shut up and you´ll get without...” The woman growls but get interrupted by something Caith can´t se. She then hear a deep male voice.
“You robbed the wrong wagon today theif.”
Caith falls to the ground as the woman let go off her.
The woman back off.
“Begone! Or I will severe your head!” the male voice said.
“You keep that cunt full of shit! Eat it good!” She said before running back in to the woods.
Caith sits on the side off the road still trying to clean her eyes. The male voice get closer to her.
“Dear Caithrin, Are you hurt?” He says.
She knows the voice, it is Lyth. He take her to a near lake to help her clean her eyes. He told her that he was getting nervous as she had not made it home already and went to go looking for her. The pepper was almost gone as he helped her back to his home. He was pretty upset on her for leaving with out him. But on the other hand he was happy that she was fine. And so was she. As all her stuff was in side she felled asleep in to his lap as they sat by the fire that evening, in safety.
