As the last of the tremors calmed down, she jumped off the bed and ran to her things. She hastily slipped on her pants as Tina watched her with a worried expression from the bed.

Bette looked up at her, "Get dressed. I’m taking you to safety"

Tina’s eyes widened as she jumped off the bed. She knew where "safety" was. Bette would put her in a reinforced tower.

"The tower?"

"Yes, its safer for you there. I need to see what’s going on. I’ll send someone to keep you company"

Tina chose to wear her exploring gear instead of her usual dress, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I’m not going to sit there safe and sound while you’re outside with God knows what"

"Tina, I’m not-"

Bette was in the process of slipping on one of her boots when the castle shook again, knocking her off her feet.

"Dammit! Just get dressed!"

Soldiers were heard running through the halls then a series of knocks were at Tina’s door.

"Princess! Princess! Are you alright?"

Tina looked to Bette frightened, unsure of what to do. Bette cursed under breath and yelled out.

"She’s fine. I’m protecting her. Go see to the matter and I’ll be right there"

Nothing else was said after, the soldiers running off toward the danger. Bette strapped on her belt and sheath, checking on her sword before walking over to Tina. She gently grabbed onto the blonde’s neck, stroking the soft skin.

"Please just let me escort you to the tower. I’ll come for you when I can, I promise"

Before Tina could object, Bette leaned in and pressed a hard kiss on her lips. It ended as quickly as it had begun, Bette broke the kiss and grabbed Tina’s hand to lead her out of the room.

As soon as she opened the door, she was greeted with a pair of ice blue eyes and raven hair.

Bette’s eyes widened as she nearly screamed, holding her hand to her chest at the woman standing in front of her.

"Shit, Jenny you scared me"

The woman, Jenny smiled apologetically, "I’m sorry Caretaker. I didn’t mean to"

Bette glanced at Tina beside her then back to Jenny, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to look for you"

Tina squeezed Bette’s hand nervously, the brunette returning the squeeze to calm her. Bette tried to hide the fear and nervousness as she raised a suspicious eyebrow at Jenny. The raven haired woman was a maiden of the castle like Alice and Carmen. Why Shane would send Jenny to seek her out was beside her. Maybe the threat on the castle was worse than Bette thought.

"How did you know where I was?"

Jenny hesitated for a moment, the fear in her eyes lasted only for a second but Bette noticed.

"Captain Shane told me that you would be guarding Princess Tina. She needed to speak with you"

Bette wanted to argue the issue, something definitely wasn’t adding up but another tremor spread throughout the castle before she had a chance. Bette was thrown against the opposite wall, Tina was thrown against her making the brunette grunt. Bette willed her body not to respond to her lover pressed flushed against her. Even when they were in danger, Tina always had an effect on her.

"Look Jenny we really need to get out of here. I’ll escort you both to the tower"

Jenny easily accepted and followed Bette’s lead as they ran through the crumbling castle.
