Stella looked at her father in shock, he was alive but covered in blood. "What are you doing covered in blood?" she asked, a frown creasing her features before she helped Hector with her father. Both of them together managed to get him onto Snow's back. Making sure to adjust the stir-ups to fit his height, she handed him the reins and gently gave Snow a pat on the side, telling her to start moving towards the castle.<br/><br/>Stella, however, didn't move from her spot. Looking back over her shoulder, she stood where she was and looked in the direction she had heard the barking coming from before. "I'm going to wait here. You both keep moving, I have a feeling Claude will be coming our way. Hector, make sure my dad is put up in one of the rooms and he gets food as well as a bath. He needs to warm up and clean off. And most likely a lot of sleep," she ordered, not taking any protests from any of them. She was waiting and they needed to get back to see to both Jerome and her father.
