(Let me fill you in, Sara's parents work with the mafia and having their daughter ,blood or not marry the top guys secured them a lot of money,her parents ONLY care about money and it what would happen to the girl,Sara finds herself dependent on sage even though they met a couple days ago,leaving Sara with an abusive man will lead to her gradually losing herself mentally,but trying to stay strong when her emotions run high she often thinks of sage and his calming sense)

(Alright sounds good)

He awoke with a start, Flower sitting on his chest yowling. Straight. Into. His. Ear. "Ugh, what is it Flower?" He could tell the cat was trying to tell him something, but what? The cat ran to the edge of the alleyway and howled again, looking back at him. what the - oh my god wheres sara? he felt a jolt of panic hit his chest and the scrambled after the cat. She led him to a small shack, and saw two people, a man and a woman, walking away. One of them mentioned something about their daughter being useless and he paled. these are her parents? Good lord, these assholes locked her in there, didnt they? He snarled and walked up behind them. He put his dagger through the mans back and then slit the womans throat when she turned around. The rats were already starting to gather, so he kicked the corpses farther away and ran back to the shack. He used his dagger to slice through the door hinges and ran inside, not bothering to clean the blood off his dagger, hand, or arm.

IDAMN ITS ON HIS ARM

She gasped "sage! How the hell did you find me!"she cried and looked at flower "a cat may have just saved me"she looked at sage and felt her eyes watering"why....why would you go through this trouble?" She wrapped her arms around him and watched the cat stand there I'm right here people! She meowed loudly and walked off to feed her babies"sage we would we able to run,this place has everything we need and We could build a cabin "she felt warm thinking about leaving this life,she mainly wanted to get away from creepy guys and to get sage away from more harm

He looked down at her, relieved she was alright. He patted her back with the hand that wasn't covered in blood lightly, still not used to not getting hurt when someone touched him. "Really, it wasn't any trouble. It's not like I have anything else to do. I mean, we have the food you brought so I dont have to go scavenge for the damn stuff all day long. And....you're the only person who hasn't treated me like trash in my entire life, so...I couldn't just let you die." He felt his face heat up and looked down at her. "A cabin? Why not. I suppose it would be better than a fucking alley where anytime it rains I get soaked."

Awwww is sage getting the feels)

she grinned and scooped flower up"I think we could survive out here"she turned and opened a window to let the cabin air out a bit,"for some reason the plumping is hooked up so feel free to shower "she set flower down and worked on making a meal"I think livestock would be useful,have a garden up too "she started cleaning plates and sat down to carve a dozen arrows out of sturdy wood she collected and fastened stone beads to the tips"good to have a weapon on hand"

(Sage is just happy to have someone not trying to kill him XD. But he can be sweet when he isn't killing people lmao)

He blinked. "A shower? What the hell is a shower?" He had no idea about anything in a house - he was born on the streets and had lived on his own since he was ten years old. He stroked Flower and watched as she ran off to bring her kittens to the cabin.

"come with me" she grabbed his hand and brought him to the bathroom"err.....wanna uh...take your shirt off" she went red and got soap out "please just your shirt! n-nothing else" she went redder and turned the water on "oh just get in already!" she pushed him in and laughed as the water hit her full on"see not that hard" she pulled his shirt of and started washing his back with the soap"this is a shower" she felt herself getting redder by the minute"I uh...hope you can uhh figure the rest out yourself..." she turned and set a towl down"i'll fo find some clothes for you" she left

He chuckled and nodded, taking the soap from her. He washed the rest of his body while she got clothes. He probably washed off about ten pounds of mud, dirt, and who knows what else by the time he was done. He was blushing madly by the time she left, but was amused at how flustered she had gotten. He got out of the shower and saw a tshirt and a pair of jeans laid out, which he put on.
