"Yes I know he is a bit controlling... Of course, you see you're my... HEY!" Beatrice stood, glaring daggers at Lews, "What do you think you're doing? They child doesn't even know her own mother! I can't believe you would be so selfish as to keep something that important from her." Beatrice took a deep breath to steady herself, holding onto a table for support.

"SHE DOESNT NEED A MOTHER!!!!!" Yelled Lews furiously. He was filled with anger and fear at the same time over the thought of what was happening. "She's done perfectly fine without you her whole life!!" Agarwaen gasped. "Y-y-you're my mommy?" She asked Beatrice. "Oh damn it..." Lews said, and slumped into a chair.

Beatrice nodded, and dropped down to face her directly, ignoring Lews, "Yes I am. I had to leave, I was called away, a long time ago. I wanted to be there when you grew up but... things happened..." She looked at Agarwaen with sad blue eyes.

"I can't do this. I just cant. Beatrice, I still love you. But love is an emotion I can no longer afford for anyone but my little girl. And if you so much as try to take her away from me..." Lews shuddered at the thought of what he was about to say, "I'll kill you."

Beatrice stood, hands clenched at her sides to stop their shaking, eyes narrowed, "How dare you? She's my daughter too." She clenched her teeth and turned away, "Come on Bear, we have to get going, I was hoping to be in France in a week."

Bear stood up and went between lew and Beatrice. "yes m'lady" He went to put his staff on his back but then looked at lews and stoped. "M'lady is anyone else coming with us?"

"yes, Virgil said that he would join us. Otherwise no." She glared at Lews, daring him to argue and started out, "I'll collect my things and we can head out, it's nearly morning anyway."

Virgil leaned against the wall casually and let the fight happen. He didn't feel the need to intervene unless it became violent. "Come Lady Beatrice, its best that you prepare to leave." He opened the door and showed her to a room that was filled with supplies. "These are our supplies. There are horses in the stables. I bought 4, so we can ride 3 and use 1 to carry gear."

"You are going nowhere without me. I was ordered by the POPE to bring you to the Vatican. I promised him I would not fail. You do NOT break a promise to the pope!" Lews said, as calmly as he could manage. "Besides, I am more protection then either of these fools! No offense meant to the two of you, but the truth is the truth." Suddenly there was a tug at Lews' sleeve. "Daddy? I wanna go with my mommy."

Beatrice turned, "Fine, come along." She followed Virgil out and into the supplies. "Lews can take the fourth horse, we'll all trade off Agarwaen so that none of the horses tire." She loked around quickly and spotted a pack, opening it she removed a pair of leather pants, went into an upstairs room of the inn and changed, "Well, let's get going then. I'd like to hurry." She mounted a horse and started out.

Bear glared at lews. as they walked out of the room. "you have yet to find yourself in my gasp, to not judge me before you fight me in combat." with that he jumped onto a horse and put his staff on him back. Bear rode up beside Beatrice. "Do you believe that he is from the pope?"

"Yes." She replied shortly, not bothering to elaborate she pulled back her long hair and started to ride toward the east. Beatrice couldn't help glancing back at her daughter sadly, leaving had been heartwrenching but seeing her again was even worse.
Beatrice fell back to where Lews was riding with Agarwaen and ignoring the man turned to the little girl, "Would you like to ride with me for a little while?" She asked, smiling slightly.

"May I, Daddy?" The child asked cautiously. "Fine. Go." Her father snapped, not looking up. "Do whatever you want." Then, slowly turning to face Beatrice, an expression of sadness on his face that hadnt found its way there in years, he whispered "Please dont take her from me. Dont poison her against me. Please, she's all I have anymore." Then he shooed them both away, sadness gone from his face, but not his heart.

"You must really underestimate me, to believe that I would sink to that level." Beatrice said coldly, riding forward toward the front, making sure Agarwaen wouldn't fall and sighing, wishing she knew how to talk to children, "So... do you like horses?" She asked, groaning inwardly at the idiocy of the question.

"Not at all... I've gotten used to them though. Daddy uses horses all the time, and he brings me everywhere with him... Did you know daddy was a monk a long time ago?" Agarwaen asked, inwardly wincing at the idiocy of the statement and the akwardness of the situation. While mother and daughter were getting aquainted, Lews rode up to Bear. "I cant help but feel that you and I have gotten off on the wrong foot. I'm Lews." Said he, holding out his hand to shake.

Beatrice smiled, "I knew that." She held the little girl a bit closer, grinning widely. "Did you know..." She whispered something that made the little girl grin and turn back to look at her father.

As they rode out of the town, a voice called out. "Hello travelers, I was wondering if I could speak with you for a moment. I am searching for a man named Lews and I wonder if you have heard of him?"

Lews reigned his horse in and said, "I'm Lews. I'm also busy. Come again later." Then, riding over to Beatrice, he decided to do something rash. He jumped off his horse and adressed her thusly: "Beatrice, will you marry me? Again?

Beatrice stared at him, amazed, and confused. She blinked for a few minutes but didn't speak. Finally she looked into his eyes, took a deep breath and said, very softly, "No." She turned away, not wanting to see the hurt in his eyes, ignoring her own pain.

"Damn it all, I can't stand this! I know we both love each other the same as we did when our daughter was born! You wear a facade of indifferance I see through as well as if I were looking through glass!" He fell on his knees in a rare moment of vulnerability.

Beatrice glared at him, "I've already answered your question. Love has nothing to do with it. Other factors have to be considered. It's not something that I can do." She shrugged, still not looking at him directly. "I'm sorry."

"Dont you se-" Lews sentence was broken off when he heard the arrow whistling through the air, directly at Beatrice's head. Not pausing to think, He exploded into motion: springing up off his knees into the air in front of beatrice and taking the arrow in the shoulder. He touched the ground (in severe pain) and heard his daughter scream in horror at the sight of him hurt. Stalking off into the woods, never bothering to remove the arrow, he came out five minutes later with the would-be assassin writhing in pain and threw him to the ground, knocking him unconscious.

Beatrice got up quickly and rushed over to Lews, trying to look at his wound. "Hold still and I'll get it out. If you don't then it will get infected. Please just stand still." Her last words gained an odd resonance, as though they weren't coming from her at all.

"I can do it myself, I'm a grown man!" He answered in utter frustration. Then, due to the physical shock and emotional pain, his body gave out on him. Lews passed out on the ground right on top of the assassin.

"I can do it myself..." She mimicked, glancing over at Agarwaen, "don't worry, he'll be fine I promise." She smield at the little girl and stood over Lews, ripping out the arrow and bandaging the would quickly. "Wake up Lews, wake up."

"No, I wont leave the monastary; I can't, Bea, I just cant." He muttered before coming fully awake.

She held him up against her, smoothing his hair, "It's ok. I never really expected you to anyway." Beatrice whispered, smiling. "Thank you."

"I did it for you. I left it for you. And our daughter."Then he pulled Agarwaen into the cluster and hugged them both tightly.

Beatrice gave Lews a small kiss, "The answer wasn't definate. But I can't get married now, I can't have that kind of attatchment. Not while I carry this thing. That's why I had to leave."

"And thats why I have to get you to the Vatican. Then you can be rid of that... whatever it is, and we can be a family. The three of us.
