Not So Heroic Deeds

"Please don't tell my father about the bow...!"

The young girl egged with a soft tone, her lower lip quivering slightly. All she ever wanted was for her father to stay with her, to be safe from the monsters which roamed the land; hiding the bow was the only thing she could do. She should have never told the warrior where to find it; if she had just kept her mouth shut...

"Y-y-you can keep the bow... just please, don't tell him! If he found out, I'd... I'd..."

She was scared, that much was obvious; maybe her father was the type to hit a young girl. Or maybe she just feared what he would say to her, that she would lose the trust that took a lifetime to build. Whatever the fact, the small girl was desperate; and the warrior would have had to have been totally dense to not sense that.

"Oh, don't worry... I won't tell him."

He said in a gentle tone, a smile on his lips. She looked up at him with her brown eyes, the fear draining away, the anxiety that filled her moments ago was gone. She wanted to kiss his feet, to thank him for being so good to her... but that all changed when next he spoke;

"Of course, I need something in return, beyond the bow. After all, it's important that I don't tell him, yes?"

She wondered what else he could want from her, what else he thought he could get. She was horrified at the time that he would want something she couldn't give, that he would sell her out because she couldn't meet his demands. Her voice trembled;

"Sir... I don't have anything else to give you besides the bow! I have no Jade, I have nothing of value..."

He chuckled slightly at that, his eyes meeting her own; in that moment she could see something in them, something dark and wanting. His smile became a smirk as his eyes broke contact and moved down her form; she wasn't much, really. A small girl no more than 13 years of age, body clad in a simple white dress that very much resembled a tunic that came down to just above her knees. It hung loosely from her frame, denying him a chance to appraise what she had to offer, but that didn't matter.

She was just big enough for him to enjoy, even if she lacked the finer curves of a woman.

She wasn't sure what he was doing, but even so a flush came over her cheeks and upper chest, the looks he gave her body was having a strange effect on her. She fidgeted slightly as she looked away towards a nearby bush, it was so awkward and uncomfortable. Finally he reached out and grabbed her by the shoulder, her face coming up to meet his own; a look of desire gleamed in them.

"Come with me, girl, if you want me to keep your secret."

She nodded almost instantly, despite her stomach twisting; she was both terrified and... well, it was a sensation she'd never felt before, as though parts of her were burning. She trembled as his strong hand pulled her along as he walked away from her house, her small legs carrying her at a matching speed; they were rapidly leaving parts of the city that she was comfortable being in.
