maria was able to sit on the branch where the nest was and place the baby bird back in its nest. "There you go safe and sound like you should be." she said with a smile and heard Sir Gabriel talk to her and she nodded her head about ready to climb when the dagger was thrown and barely missed her and she screamed when that happen. She got scared and stayed in the tree not able to move a muscle for she never dealt with this kind of thing before on her travels. She looked down seeing one of the rouges climb up the tree trying to grab her and she screamed while kicking her legs at him. "No go away leave me alone!" She yelled in fear as she kicked the guy in the face hard. She then got a big branch and swung it at him and trying to hit him mare so he would fall or something.
