[ WP ] Our Damsel in Distress , upon seeing her knight in shining armor try and fail countless times , appreciates the effort but decides to just get the job done herself .

Isabelle sighed as she watched the silver-plated man below try once more to shoot an arrow from his bow. *What a moron! * she thought bitterly. 
 
 This was a pattern as of late. All of the knights sent to rescue her were stupid and incompetent. Only one had made it to the door, and the stupid dragon outside had roasted him. Isabelle did n't blame the dragon. He was just doing his job, and he was quite nice when he was n't working. 
 
 *Forget this. * 
 
 Isabelle walked to the window, sticking her head out of it. She watched as the knight below fumbled for another arrow. `` Hey!'' she yelled. 
 
 His helmeted head snapped up, surprise on his face. The dragon paused too, looking over its shoulder to her. 
 
 `` Get lost!'' Isabelle screamed at the knight. `` You're a terrible knight and you should feel bad about trying to hurt an innocent dragon!'' 
 
 The knight dropped the bow and arrow, the dragon growling softly as it disappeared beneath the castle drawbridge. Isabelle was surprised when the knight suddenly pulled off his helmet and threw it on the ground. 
 
 `` Oh, thank God!'' he yelled back to her, grinning. `` I know I'm terrible at this. I was forced to come here to get you.'' 
 
 Isabelle frowned at him then. He was much different from the rest that had come and failed. 
 
 `` I mean, do you even want to be rescued?'' he continued, pulling the heavy armor off. 
 
 Isabelle's frown deepened. `` I-I do n't know,'' she called. `` No one has ever asked me before.'' 
 
 The man, who was quite nice to look at without his armor, smiled again. `` This is a new age, Princess,'' he said. `` I'll only take you from here if you wish to go.'' 
 
 Isabelle turned to look at the tiny bedroom she kept herself confined to. Did she wish to go? Did she wish to go *with him*? She looked back to the knight. `` Why do n't you come up for a while?'' She needed to get to know this knight before she decided to leave her tower.
