In the Dark Faction, in one of the medium-sized villages, a short young woman was walking down the open streets. There were market stalls on either side, and the smell from the meat being cooked in the open wafted into her nose.
She placed her hand on her stomach to suppress the sound.
'Shut up, alright? I only have a few bronze coins left!' Charlotte slapped her stomach, but it didn't do much to ease the pain.
It was strange, since escaping from Alter along with Himmy, she had been going from place to place. She had no idea where would be safe.
After all, Alter was an incredibly large organization, with secret members everywhere, even members she wouldn't know about.
All she could hope for was to lay low until Himmy figured something out. Every time she turned a corner or looked up, she hoped she would see Himmy, telling her it was finally over.
