She didn't expect it when she was suddenly grabbed from behind and
pushed into an alcove. "Wha..." she started to protest when the hand
clapped over her mouth and Sammah's face appeared over her shoulder.
"Shhhh" he said. She stopped struggling but couldn't figure out why
he'd grabbed her. When he didn't remove the hand immediately she bit
his finger.

"Oww!" he whisper screamed pulling his hand away.

"What are you doing?" she demanded and tried to push him away but he
was stronger and taller than she was and still had an arm around her.
Florenzia had thought he was quite cute and had been eying him in
class but this was unexpected.

He smiled into her eyes. "Just wanted a kiss." he said one finger
rising to trace her bottom lip as he leaned in closer pushing her
against the wall.

"Well _ask_ don't grab." she said with a small frown. "Want me to bite
you again?" she asked still pushing trying to get loose.

It was very stimulating the way she struggled and he just pushed her
harder against the wall until she had no where to go. She'd been
taunting him with her flirting eyes and he'd heard about the time
she'd been spending after hours with that Journeyman so she was no
maid. He moved his hands to either side of her as he leaned in.

"Hey, this isn't funny." she started to feel a little bit of panic
rising. "Get _off_!" she said in a loud voice.

Maemira, who'd been doing a final check of the hallways and rooms,
heard a strange scuffling sound just around the corner. Furrowing her
brow and frowning a bit, she picked her frame up to move a bit
quicker. When she heard the shout, she moved as fast as her bones and
joints allowed her.

Huffing and puffing a bit, she rounded the corner and her eyes grew
wide as saucers. Her face contorted into one of anger as she marched
forward and grabbed Sammah's ear. "Get _off_ her _now!" She yelled,
twisting his ear to pull him off Florenzia. None of her charges would
be caught in such an uncompromising position while she was around. She
turned her steely gaze on Florenzia, letting her know she was not off
the hook. Until Maemira knew what was really going on, they were
_both_ in trouble.

"What are you both doing out at this time of night, acting like _that_?"

Trying to calm her breathing and stave off tears she blinked furiously
as she moved behind the headwoman. "He...he..." she pointed at the
young man.

"Oh I _what_?" he sneered.

She looked between the two and quickly assessed the situation.

"Sammah, go now. I'll speak with you later." She stared the boy down.
He would face consequences for his actions, depending on what those
actions actually were, once she figured things out.

"Florenzia, come with me now, please." She took the girl's arm and
turned to lead her back down the hallway, away from the boy.

Florenzia immediately moved with the Headwoman and valiantly fought
the tears that threatened to overwhelm her. She looked back over her
shoulder as Sammah stomped away in the other direction. "Thank you."
she whispered.

With a knowing look on her face, Maemira watched Florenzia's reaction.
She gently guided the young girl to a room off the corridor. Settling
them both onto some chairs she looked at Florenzia and said, "Alright,
now, tell me what exactly was happening."

"He pulled me in there and I couldn't get away." she said, her lip
trembling. "he had his hand over my mouth so... well... I bit him."

She tried to hide the smile that inched towards her lips at hearing
she had bit him.

"Has he done anything like this before? Did he actually hurt you in
anyway?" Maemira knew she would follow through with whatever was
necessary to protect her girls, but first she needed to know exactly
what happened.

She closed her eyes and tried to still her trembling hands by twisting
her fingers together. "No," she said. "This is the only time something
like this has happened." she felt her arms where he'd grabbed her.
"Nothing rough, he didn't have me pinned long before you came. Oh
ma'am I'm so glad you came..." she finally broke into tears.

Maemira breathed a sigh of relief. At least the boy had not truly
harmed her. Standing, she moved beside Florenzia and wrapped her arm
around the girl's shoulders. "It's going to be alright, Florenzia.
I'll make sure." Maemira did her best to comfort the girl even while
her in her mind she was already figuring out how to see that something
like this would _never_ happen again. "It's going to be okay. You are
safe now and I'll make sure you stay that way."
