***POSTING AS FAITH***
*Having ventured downstairs for tea, Faith ran back upstairs and threw herself into Aimery's arms.*
"Don't let him kill me, please!" *she sobbed, trembling.*

*Aimery looked very confused, but held her gratefully, trying to comfort her the best he could without a soothing voice. He stroked her hair gently and after a few moments led her to the bed to sit. Then he wrote, a concerned look on his face.*
What happened? Who's trying to hurt you? Are you all right? What can I do to help?

"Some--some man in the kitchen!" *she sobbed.* "He said I was supposed to be dead!"

*Aimery's eyes widened, trying to figure out what was going on. He gestured that she should stay and he would go look. He squeezed her hand gently.*
I won't let them take you away again.

"No, please--don't leave me alone, here. I--I just...I'm so afraid..." *she whispered, sitting on the edge of her bed.*

*Aimery turned back and sat next to her.*
I will stay here if you would rather. I just want you to feel safe.

*Faith rested her head on his shoulder.*
"I just wish I could remember," *she said softly, tears welling in her eyes.*

I wish you could too.
*Aimery cradled her gently, stroking her hair.*
It will be all right...someday it'll be all right.

*Grateful to have found a friendly soul, Faith soon cried herself to sleep in Aimery's arms.*

((Aww...))
*Aimery gently lowered her onto the bed and tucked her in, careful not to wake her. Then he took a chair by the bed, to watch over her until he too, fell asleep.*

*NEW DAY*
*Holmes helped Megan down from the cab when it let them off in front of the inn. He had heard of the place; it seemed reputable enough. He hoped for Norrington's sake the man had bathed.*
"Here we are, then. I'll come in with you, to make sure he's here."
And you're safe.

"Thank you, Mr Holmes," said Megan.
She nervously ran a hand over her hair, which she had not had time to have cut properly. She hoped he wouldn't mind.
Megan gathered her skirts and ventured up the stairs, hoping he was still there.
Nervous, she knocked on the door to what she hoped was his room.

James was in the midst of washing his hands and face when a knock came at the door, he was still drenched with water when he ran to it, grabbing the door knob he threw open the door. "M-M" he said nothing but threw his arms around her.

For a split second, she resisted, not recognizing him.
Slowly, she looked up, into his eyes.
"James..."

There were tears in his eyes, flowing steadily down his slightly dirty face, he was shaking "Megan, I'm so sorry, I-"
