"Catch her!" 

Roxana ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She jumped over stones, avoided branches and trees on her way up the hill. But she was still too slow.  It was not the best day to be dressed as a woman and running in these shoes was a hindrance.

It didn't take long for Connor and his men to surround her, some of them joining the chase on their horses. 

Roxana halted and looked around to quickly assess the situation. She held her hands up in surrender, "alright." She said looking at Connor who was puffing and panting as he came to stop in the circle around her. While trying to catch his breath he glared at her with a deadly stare. "We can talk," Roxana suggested. 

"You wench," He walked over made an attempt to slap her but she moved away. This angered him even more.
