I was waiting inside the stables as Leon had instructed. I hold the dagger he had left to me tightly. My heart was thumping very fast.
I was worried about Leon. He said we were being followed since we left the river bank.
'Who would want to follow us? What are their intentions?' I thought to myself.
Then I remember the accident earlier. When I was nearly ran over by a running carriage. I felt someone pushed me.
"Someone is after my life?" I said to myself.
I was deep in my thoughts when I heard some sound.
"Who is there?" I quickly got my guard up. I unsheathe the dagger from it's scarab and hold it at arms length. I make a defensive stance.
"Young lady, I do not wish to harm you." A voice of a man was heard.
Then the man emerged from the shadows. He was a young man with short dark brown hair and eyes. He was wearing black cloak.
"What do you want from me?" I asked with authority.
