Crystal hurried past the men and eased a smooth liquid into the woman's mouth. She rubbed the woman's throat to make her swallow, praying silently that this would work correctly.
"Give it about two minutes. It should work unless it was laced with anything other then the poison I belive she was poisoned with," Crystal answered.
She looked up and recognized one of the men. A man from her father's army. A man she had known was seeking her since she ran away.
"Hama," She said, her eyes wide with fear. She hurried backwards to Angry, praying silently that he wouldn't take her back to Rohan.
"Please, please don't take me back," Crystal pleaded as she reached Angry. Every thought, every memory from her childhood raced through her mind from her mother's death. Memories of pain, sadness, and uncontrollable grief that she just couldn't go back to, wouldn't go back to. She had a purpose now, a goal, a life. She wasn't going back.
"I claim sanctuary here in the Shire with Mr.Brandybuck. You can't take me away," Crystal declared as she hurried behind Angry. He wasn't tall enough to conceal her, but just his presence was reassuring enough.
