Chapter 40 - Unnoticed

I step outside the pub the wind blows my cloak everywhere, it flaps around behind me, the rain has almost completely stopped its only slightly drizzling now, more sodiains are outside now that the rain has died down, I slip through them blending myself in a crowd of people, I need to hide at least a week for wounds to heal, but were should I stay I could walk into the desert again, but I don't think I could last a couple of days in place anymore,

I keep walking forward aimlessly until I pump into a woman, she glares at me before walking past me but why did she look familiar? I Ignore it and carry on walking I check behind me and see her walking into the pub, I look straight ahead of me and see an Inn, I turn left accidentally pumping into a woman, I quickly apologize to her before walking into the Inn, A man was standing in front at the front desk, He looks at me before he could even speak I throw him a bag of coins leaving him speechless, that woman is going to be quite mad once she finds out I stole her money I thought to myself slightly chuckling,

The man hands me a pair of keys with the numbers 12 and 13 on them, I walk up the stairs leading into the room before sticking the key in a hole turning it and walking in, It's a small room with a tiny bed, I quickly locked the door behind me before falling asleep on the bed,

In the pub:

A woman has entered the pub, she ignores all the men staring at her, and quickly walks to the bartender, she sits on a bar stool, " Your eye is getting better sister, " said the bartender with a slight grin on her face,

The woman doesn't respond just slightly nodding her head, the bartender pours a glass of wine before sitting it in front of her, she begins sipping it before setting it back onto the wooden counter, " I wish we could find that monster, " the woman says shaking her head,

" It can't beat too hard it's just a massive monster isn't "

" No, it's a man that can transform into that creature, " said the woman shaking her while tapping her fingers on the counter repeatedly, her sister stared at her before asking the question,

" What did the man look like? " the woman looked at her sister before glancing down, and standing up,

" I don't know, he wore a cloak and it was too dark for me to see his face, " the bartender's eyes widen before grabbing her chin,

" A man in a cloak just passed here, and he said he lived in that village, and he had on this yellow thing covering his right eye," the woman's eyes bulge out of her sockets, before snapping her head up staring at her sister,

" YES, that's him, I remember seeing the yellow glass reflecting my fire, " The woman stood up grabbing the wine cup before drinking it all, she shakes her head a little before turning around,

" Can I follow you? " asked her sister, the woman looks back before shaking her head,

" No, he's far too dangerous, he took on 23 of us and almost won if he didn't run out of energy, and if transforms into my monster again it'll be the end of this city, " she looks at a table on her right before waving her fingers to come, two men stand up and begin walking towards her,

" He's really injured sister, he could barely keep himself awake, " said the bartender watching her sister walk out of the pub, the sun had broken through the rain clouds, the rain had finally stopped,

The woman and two men begin questioning the crowd of people asking them if they had seen a man in a cloak wearing a yellow glass on his right eye, no matter who they asked, they said they had never seen him, he's gone completely unnoticed, the woman begins storming forward angrily, " We will pay extra close attention to this town for now on, we know he's here " The two men nod their head...
