Not so stealthy.

As she watched the scene Arerto made her choice and stepped from the darkness she approached the group and the guards surprised at first surrounded her." I believe you are looking for me" Isabella took her gaze from Cheytelle and looked at Arerto and then asked her spy who nodded. "And just who are you?" asked Isabella Arerto replied that she was Arerto commander of the amazon army now camped at the pass. Just then a runner came and informed Isabella that the prisoners had been freed and could not be found. Isabella ordered the town to be searched, but Arerto smirked and said it was useless as they would be well on their way back to the amazon camp. Isabella became enraged and headed towards Arerto and swung her arm to strike her but Arerto was too quick and caught her wrist. It was then that one of the guards hefted his sword and hit Arerto in the head with the butt of the hilt and Arerto released her grip and fell to the floor.

When Arerto finally came to she found herself in a cell along with Cheytelle who was looking at her and then took a damp cloth and handed it to Arerto. Arerto used the cloth to wipe away the dye revealing her fair skin underneath as it was pointless to be disguised now she had been captured. Cheytelle told Arerto that the woman was Isabella only second to the ruler of Hansmead and would no doubt have killed Arerto for releasing the prisoners but she must have other reasons for keeping Arerto alive. It was also certain that Isabella had spirited away Helena to her private residence and hearing Helena's name Arerto smiled and Cheytelle could tell there was more than just a matter of commander and subordinate. Cheytelle took a chance and told Arerto that she should keep her relationship quiet so as to protect herself and Helena. Arerto thanked her and said she would be a bit more careful in what she divulged to her captor.

Cheytelle asked Arerto why she had stepped out from the darkness and Arerto replied that she owed a debt to Cheytelle and it was the right thing to do. Second, she had needed to buy her warriors time to escape so there it was the right choice she had made. Cheytelle thanked her for her life then they sat and chatted for a while until the door opened and in walked Isabella flanked by two guards and looked at Arerto. "You are very quick for a warrior but you are no longer a warrior you are now my ****. So forget any ideas of escape and your life will be better disobey and you will be punished. The last amazon I think was one of your generals is now my personal slut." Arerto tensed ready to pounce but Cheytelle held her back. "By the way you look much better in white as white slaves bring in a better price at the auction." With this Isabella left the cell and the door slammed and heavy bolts pushed into place and Arerto started to calm down but vowed to kill this woman.
