"No, I'm not a bad person, if I was, you would have known by now," I tried to defend myself. "Interesting, if you are then, why are you out here all alone?" The tall man countered."Are you calling me a liar?" I asked him with a calm voice even though, I was under immense pressure."Yes, you are a liar! Why should we believe me when your story tonight is as dummy as you." His voice became even harsher. I bent my head as if I have been hurt by his words. I pretended to be crying as my fake sobs were echoing through the darkness. The short man couldn't stand the sight of seeing me getting hurt. He quickly placed one of his hands on my shoulders as he came closer to me. "I believe you Loius. I will allow you into the city tonight but, be rest assured that if you were to be caught outside again at this late hour, I will have no choice but, to do the right thing. I'm only letting you go because of your old man which you have spoken of. Go in now and take nurse him back to life."The joy

For a moment, I felt bad. I had just remembered that there was no way I could get out of Muldoch that night again. However, Steve got out therefore, how did he do it? That was the question I kept asking myself for about three minutes before, I concluded myself. My conclusion was a simple one, I can't get out of the city, not tonight again! There was only one option; to hide and wait till morning, when people begin to go about their activities then, I will sneak out of the Town like nothing happened the previous night.I found a hidden corner in the basement and laid down my laid down to sleep. However, my sleep was short-lived. The thought of the Alpha, Eric and Steve was the mainstay in my mind. I simply couldn't get them out of my mind. It was a sleepless night indeed! I wondered about the opinion they might have formed about the reason behind my long stay.I slept for a very short time at least barely an hour. The cockcrows were what alerted me. When I awoke, the sun was just begin

I watched as he slowed down until he stopped right in front of me. I did not allow him to speak first, I acted quickly should there be any problem. "What now?" I asked.For the first time in a long time, he smiled. "Relax young lady I don't mean to harm you even though, I have caught you red-handed feeding my loaves of bread to this stupid dog." As if the dog had heard what he said about the Canid, it barked at him. "Oh, wo-wo-wo! That's too fat doggie! How the hell on earth did this dog hear what I have said?""At you asking Mr Smith? Well, what can I say? Who will I ask if you ask me, huh? Is this why you suddenly came back to me? I thought you were in a hurry Mr Smith. You ought to be at your destination by now so, if you don't mind, I will leave. I'm not ready to take your insults. I'm not ready for your troubles as well. Enough of the ones you have caused me," I began to walk out on him. "No, lady. It's not done that way. Please, can you hold on for a second!" He requested but,

I had to make a decision. Mr Smith was right, the place we were standing at the moment could be a hideout for criminals and very bad people. Since the Alpha and the others are not here anymore, I do not see a reason why I should ignore Mr Smith's warning. At last, my legs obeyed my brain and walk into the cart. He rode forward just like we have been doing before he stopped."Where are you taking me?" I asked because I had no clue about his destination."Oh, about that, I'm going to supply my customers with bread. They are newly baked and still hot. You have some if you don't mind?" He ended his sentence with a long smile."And then, what next?""We will ride back into the city or do you have any place in mind?" "No, I don't," I replied and then remained silent. My mood was not bright at all. Every time I remember Ammon and the others I would feel bad. I believed the Alpha may form two opinions; one could be that I was captured and imprisoned or killed, while the other could be that

"I was almost caught by the guards," I began, while they listened by then, we had found a secluded spot, under an oak tree, not too far from the road where Mr Smith had followed. "The guards were intimidating at first. I thought that was the end of my mission. At that moment I regretted embarking on the journey alone. I should have heeded your initial advice but, I guess it was too late by then."Alpha Ammon wasted no time scolding me. "You see why I was against your decision from the very first moment. You couldn't have encountered such if we had gone with you?"Eric also made his opinion made however, he was not in support of the Alpha's argument rather, he partially criticized it. "I don't think our company could have helped her at that moment, Ammon. I hope you are aware that engaging the guards in a fight will be inevitable. Think again?" Next, Steve asked me, "how did you escape from the grips of the guards?""It was difficult, Steve. I told him I was an inhabitant of the town.
