*****Xena’s POV*****
Every one stared at me in shock. Victor whipped his head to glare at me, taking a step towards me.
I raised my hand to hit Victor one more time but he holds my wrist just before it touches his cheek.
“How dare you..” Victor growled but before he finished his sentence, Ryder came between us.
“I suggest you stay where you are,” Ryder warned, stepping between us both.
He was a head shorter than Victor was but that didn't stop him from coming to protect me.
Ryder then turned to me, confusion written on his face.
His face mirrored that if everyone else, as they all wondered why I had hit him.
“What did he do? Why did you hit him?” Ryder asked me and I glared at Victor.
If they all knew what Victor had done, they would request for him to be stoned to death.
