<div class="character-sinn2-text">Victoria's fun had been ruined. Gone for a ride, and the horse decides to toss her off for no apparent reason. Her scowl is deep as she sits among the rocks in the bed of the only stream of water in the Enchanted Forest, and Victoria did her best to hold her anger in. Hoof beats sound from behind her, and she knew it wasn't her horse Olympus, so she turns her body at an angle to see who approached her. It was a horse-drawn carriage! My goodness, Victoria had never seen one of those before! And, scurrying to her feet, the young woman hurried to clean herself off the best she could though, despite her best efforts, her dress was ruined. A dress she had made with her own two hands out of expensive material donated to the parish by someone rich, obviously doing it out of seeing the condition Victoria had been in before.<p><p>Her tired, weary hands had worked hard to put that beautiful dress she wore now together in order to have something she could ride in to keep from being bored as she worked day in & day out within the parish's walls.

From a Thief's Wife to the Pirate's Life

<div class="character-sinn2-h">"I've got unfinished business with thieves, but I am thicker than them."</div>
<div class="character-sinn2-text">Holding a pirate at knife-point probably wasn't her best tactic, but Victoria had finally grown tired of her husband wandering in and out of her life. And she was not about to put her unborn baby's life in even further danger if he were to come back with some of his thief friends, so the young woman and sister & wife of well-known thieves had chosen to make her way to the water instead of remaining in the forest. Here she stood now with the sword pressed to the manly pirate's jugular vein, hand trembling as if it were preparing to falter at any one moment. “Which of the pirates are you?” If she were going to put her life, her children's lives, into the safety of this man, Victoria would need to know which one of the pirates it was she was meeting for the first time. Her son was completely oblivious to what his mother was really up to and Victoria wanted him to have that innocence she knew was a part of him.<p><p>A deep laugh interrupts Victoria's thoughts and she looks at the man. He was amused by her actions! How dare he be amused! For a pregnant woman, this didn't make her very happy, and she reaches out to wrap slender fingers around his thick & dark hair. Pulling his head back until she could gaze into his eyes. “I am the estranged wife of a thief, and my brother is one as well. I will not be pleased if you do not help me. Which one of the ships belongs to you? Show me so I may let my son climb aboard.”<p><p>Once she had her answer in the wave of his hand toward a specific ship along the port's docks, Victoria was soon letting his hair go & dropping the sword from pressing it against his neck in favor of leading her son toward the ship.

<h1>just a little hope</h1>
<hr />

Tromping through the snow which covered the ground beneath her feet, Victoria had no idea what lay ahead for her except for getting herself home to her children. She was certain that there would be no heat in their home and Victoria was livid that her own husband had run off months earlier with no sign of a return home for her & their children.<p><p>Victoria pauses her tromping when she heard the snapping of a tree branch, glancing around her nervously. She didn't know who was out there or why, but she wasn't about to take any chances with the bucket of berries encased within her cloak. “If it's the berries that you want, I will give them to you. Just please don't harm me.”<p><p>Victoria spoke in a shaky voice, still glancing nervously around her in order to find out who it was that decided to try & sneak up on her during her trek home.

<h1>just a little hope</h1>
<hr />

Pulling the cloak tighter down around her face to hide herself, and protect her identity, Victoria quickens her steps through the forest in which she now ran through. She had abandoned her horse Olympus just before she'd gotten to the edge of the forest. Sending him off with a gentle smack to his rump & hopefully sending the signal to her in pursuit husband that she had no plans to return to him and his thieving ways. However, the whizzing of an arrow that passes by her hits a tree startles Victoria. “Who's there?” she immediately calls out, whirling around on her feet encased tight into the proper walking boots which made her traveling easier.<p><p>Another arrow whizzes by her head, followed by a few more, and Victoria found herself leaning this way & that in order to dodge the arrows as she moves closer to where the arrows were coming from. “Robin, if this is you or your Merry Men, 'tis me, Victoria. I need your help.”

<h1>just a little hope</h1>
<hr />

Since it was her day off at the hospital, Victoria had gone to give Granny a hand at the diner even though there was probably plenty to give the older woman a hand. So Victoria had been shooed away to sit down and enjoy the chatter within the diner, and chose to order some food to make the time go a little slower. Victoria was munching her way through a bowl of grapes brought to the counter as she'd requested when she felt rather than heard someone occupy the stool beside her and glances to see blonde hair. “Hello there,” Victoria says in greeting before her bowl of grapes is slid toward the blonde and Victoria frowns, grasping the inner edge of the bowl to slide it back toward her. “I believe that qualifies as trying to steal someone's food, so can I help you with something or is there a reason why you've chosen to occupy your time with interrupting my lunch?”
