The next day was extremely slow, the students were training and I didn't see James all day. I decided to go around Rome and see what happens around here. I asked Alonzo if I could borrow a horse to make my way around and he told me to be back before midnight but he never told me a reason for it. But I didn't question it, as I left the guilds hideout and went to the stables.

There were only two horses, a black strong horse or a white horse that was a little smaller than the black one. I decided for the white horse as I didn't want to go any further then just seeing the city. I grabbed the saddle on the horse and lifted myself up, sitting on the horse. I gently kicked the side of the horse and the horse started trotting along the stone path, there was crowds of people walking everywhere. The markets stalls were making the streets and roads full but not too full so you could still walk around.

I pulled the horse away from people and started moving in a different direction. I stopped when I saw three boys around my age running from about ten guards, I guess the guards don't have much things happening. I quickly moved the horse in front of the guard making them stop.

"I'm so sorry, this horse is very hard to control." I said in a innocent voice I looked in the other corner of my eye see the three boys look at me, then each other before running away. I then moved the horse out of the way as I said sorry to the guards,most of them fell for my innocent act, but the other guards just scoffed and walked in the other direction with the others following. I then moved the horse to the direction the three boys went, I went towards the street to see it empty. I noticed there was a little gap in between the street, I climbed off the horse and patting it. I walked away from the horse as I made my way to the alleyway in the empty street, I looked in the all way to see nothing also. I stepped into the all way and it was dark but not enough to to be total darkness, just corners of the alleyway and other parts.

I felt someone in front of me making me grab my knife that were hanging on my gown but that no one saw them, then I felt someone else beside me, making me throw the knife at the direction I felt someone beside me. The knife went past the shadowy figure and the person screamed and move out of the way, then three boys came out. I remember it was the three boys from before.

"You're quite talented Miss." One of the boys said grabbed his other friend that I almost hit, and the other friend checked his friend incase I hit him with the knife. I didn't see any blood showing so that was good.

"You thieves?" I asked them they looked at each other. "No Miss the only reason we steal is, because we need the coin to feed our family. But we're not actual thieves." The other boy said to me. I then released I had some coins that was given to me to Alonzo when I came here, I grabbed the coins that were hanging from my dress and threw the bag of coins at them making one of the boys catch it. They looked shocked, at my kind gesture.

"It's not a lot but it's was the only money I have." I told them, they all shook their heads.

"This is more than enough Miss, thank you." The tallest boy said in his strong Italian voice while the others nodded.

"Now go, before the guard come." I told them they nodded and then they ran out the alleyway. I walked out of the alleyway and started walking out the street.

"You've had a good day today." I turned to the side to see James. I laughed.

"How did you find me?" I asked him.

"I saw you're il cavallo (the horse)that you're riding." James told me patting the horses head.

"Come, I want you to meet my family." James said getting on the horse I was riding, he held his hand out as I grabbed it he helped me up and I was sitting behind him.

"You're going to love my family." James said, he kicked the back of the horse and the horse started galloping. And then we started to head off to his home to meet his family.
