I squeeze though, the goddamned dress taking up too much space. I get to the end and exhale in relief when I see a narrow gap between the buildings. With my voice caught in my throat I slink away, deeper into the alley, hoping there’s an exit on the other end. It’s gone, like the rest of my clothing, and as I’m trying to decide what to do, if I can fight, the sound of a horse neighing at the end of the ally draws my attention. My stomach twists and I instinctively reach for my dagger. “Don’t worry, love, you can pay it other ways.” “There’s been an increase,” he replies, leering at her. “That’s not enough,” he says, pocketing what she gives him. She reaches for a jar on top of the cabinet, almost dropping it. A solider in shiny armor pushes a woman against her cabinets. I see a shadow move across a back window. Whoever these men are, they carry torches and bust down doors. Wicked, male laughter fills the streets, taunting and mean.
Loud shouts echo down the narrow corridor. I grab the folds of my dress and run, ducking down a dark alley, just as the horses ride through the town. The music stills, taken over by the sound of hoofbeats on the cobblestone. People rush into houses, bolting their doors, drawing their shades and turning off the lights.
The happy noises of the town are taken over by a mad scramble.Įveryone seems to know what to do. From the immediate reaction of the citizens, it’s definitely an alarm. I’m barely halfway down when the clang of a bell tolls from somewhere in the distance. I start down a steep hill, cursing the shoes that match the dress. It’s the first large body of water I’ve seen since being in Hell, and it seems significant. A group of men surround the upset gambler and I quickly move down the road, toward the port. Through the wide window I see a circular gambling table flip over, spilling coins on the ground. Loud voices catch my attention from inside one of the casinos. Maybe my plan of passing through the circle will work. I don’t see anyone familiar or anything of interest. I walk down the road, stuffing my face with the delicious treats, scanning the area. Money definitely can buy nice things, even if it is just bread. I push over the coins from my purse and walk out with a roll stuffed in my mouth. I start pointing, and the worker fills a bag. There are breads and cheeses, macaroons and pies. “Can I help you?” a girl asks from behind the counter. I’m in front of a bakery cookies and cakes in the window. The smell of butter and sugar catches my attention, drawing me from the gaping hole in my chest.
