...The Big Entry...

Hans's voice disappeared

" He must be gone, now my turn"

Rose took Lancelot's sword, then she threw him aside.

- Hurry up, catch that man before he gets away. Screamed the marquise.

- You must pass me first.

Replied Rose while swinging the sword.

The bandits started attacking Rose, they were about twenty people. She managed to keep them away from the door, but she started to get tired.

" This damn dress is blocking my movement, I'm starting to get tired. I won't be able to handle them for too long."

Despite that, she managed to defeat more than ten men. The others started falling back after seeing her great skills.

- Idiots, what are you doing? How can a single woman defeat all of you?

Rose has slight injuries but nothing serious

" I think the prince is safe now, I will try to get out of her while they are distracted"

She turned around to open the door, but suddenly an arrow hit her on her shoulder.

It was the marquise, he did that to stop her after realizing that his men are not a match for her.

Rose hold on to the door to not fall because that will be the end for her, then she opened it.

- Do you think you can run away from us? Said the marquise while smiling. She is injured, kill her.

She sighed, then she pulled the arrow from her shoulder and turned around to fight back " I won't be able to make it anyway. I prefer to die fighting than running like a coward".

She stood still in front of them with no fear in her eyes. The bandits were about to attack her again, but suddenly they stopped while looking terrified.

" What's wrong? What is there behind me that makes them this scared?"

She turned around to figure it out, and then, she saw two big, scary eyes were glowing in the dark. They got closer and closer until the whole face became visible.

" Blacky?"

The big wolf jumped over her and landed right in front of the terrified men while showing its fangs.

- What the hell is this monster?

- Run...

Before they could escape, the wolf attacked them and ripped their bodies, including the marquise who shot him with an arrow on his leg, but the injury didn't affect it that much.

After finishing all of them, blacky got back to Rose, who was trembling after witnessing such a massacre.

She wanted to run away, but her legs didn't hold her any longer because of the loss of blood.

She closed her eyes.

" Is he going to kill me too?"

Suddenly, she felt something ticklish on her shoulder. She opened her eyes, and what a surprise! Blacky was licking her injuries.

At that moment, tears started falling from her eyes:

- You are comforting me while you are injured too. I don't know how did you find me, but thank you, you are my savior.

Said Rose while hugging it tightly. Then she pulled the arrow from its leg.

- Go before someone comes and sees you, you will be in danger.

Blacky laid down in front of her and pushed her with his head toward his back

- What do you want?..... Do you want me to ride you?

" Maybe, that's not a bad idea, I don't have any energy left"

She rode his back and that was the last thing she remembered that night.
