It’s been a while

Dear diary,

I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to state anything that is happening. But it's weird, I'm happy for the first time in my life. For the past several months I've been teaching their soldiers how to throw knives and archery. I've taught them how to master a black powder. The chiefs wife had also requested that I start teaching some of the younger girls how to protect themselves.

I was asked this after an incident, after teaching a knife class that had just finished I noticed two soldiers trying to take advantage of what it looks like the village slut or how they make it out to be.

*screams*

A soldier wraps her top where her boobs are showing while holding her by the hair and starts to pull up her dress.

"Hey No means No!"

"Get her." One soldier tells while holding her

I began fighting them off giving them a run for their money. As I get the last one on the ground hurting I take my throwing knife and hit him in the thigh.

He falls down screaming, and lets go of her. She runs off crying.

I walk over grab my knife from my thigh,

"I said No means no"

I see them all run off into the woods.

I see the chief and his wife comforting her as she was in the process of being raped that I had stopped. I was t sure how they were going to handle it but I was worried because he wanted piece with the red coats.

Would they say anything over who beat them up, or who they stay silent in fear of what could happen.

I noticed more of the people coming out to see what all the commotion was about.

"You just fought off 5 soldiers by yourself" the chief tells me

I look at him "No means no"

"What my husband means to say is I think it's time someone teaches us how to defend ourselves" the war chiefs wife tells me.

"Oh dear, darling are you okay?" Mary runs out as if she is going to cry.

It turns out Charlotte the girl I stopped from being raped by the red coat soldiers, was Mary's granddaughter. Mary looks at me and grabs my hands.

"You are a blessing my dear"

Mary knows I'm from another time, and understands I see things differently due to being from a different time.

I get to my room, Lian follows. Sitting on my bed he watches me with a smile.

"What?" As I began going through all my stuff.

"It's nice knowing I don't have to worry about anyone hurting you and that you can handle yourself." He tells me.

I look at him funny waiting for an answer

"I never showed you my back?"he looks at me as if he has a confusion.

"No?"

He takes off his shirt and I see the lashing scares that cover his back. To the point it has destroyed his back. I touch them.

"What happened?" I asked him

"Red coats tried to take advantage of my sister and I wouldn't have of it so i got beaten til I was unconscious"

I'm utterly surprised by this. He's glad I can fight so he never has to worry about me, Incase someone tries to harm me.
