Levy P.O.V.

Levy had to run as fast as she could.

All these years she was so careful, always watching out for problems and unexpected occasions. She was prepared, a full packed bag stood in the darkest corner of her wardrobe, ready to be taken away. Her most important books were in there, as well as a few clothes and pictures. All she ever hoped for was not having to need the bag. But that moment had come faster than she expected.

She ran through the streets, more and more angry people gathered behind her to take her down and kill her. All these years didn't matter anymore to them, she was now a mage, a stranger, someone who would bring them nothing than evil, harm and despair. Not only villagers, also the warriors of the lord that ruled over this town went after her, heavily armed. They were fast, really fast and she had to concentrate on running.

How could that have happened?

(Flashback)
That day was as good as all the others she spent in this town.
Normal, just normal.
But in the morning when she went to the library to start her workday, something odd happened. Every morning, some drunk guys stumbled around in the streets, normally staying quiet in the dark corners. This day, two of them were on the main street, their disgusting stench was able to be smelled in the whole street. But these guys weren't just tumbling or sleeping on the ground.
Instead, they were running and shouting after someone.

"We'll get you babe, don't worry", one of the two old men yelled after a young woman, around maybe twenty years old, only three years older than Levy. She was dressed really provocative, a really tight skirt that revealed her panty with every step compared with a tight tank top that showed off her bellybutton and everyone could see her nearly exposed breasts as well. Levy saw that she was running on high heels, teary eyes looking back at the two guys while she still didn't stop running. They just loved and even if they were drunk, their speed was incredible high. She knew the two men, they were workers at the big crafting factory at the end of the town. Normally they were hard workers, but they were always watching after young women, also after her. But till now, they just watched, even if these looks were totally obnoxious, it was better than being touched by them.
Now, they went one step too far, way too far. It was obvious what they would do to that young woman. No one else was in the street beside these three and Levy.
And the woman's screams for help found just a single answer.

She didn't think one second before running after them. They finally stopped when their victim, obviously not knowing the town, ran into a dead end. Pressed against the wall in the dark street, she looked at her followers fearfully. These were coming nearer, now laughing and grinning at her victim.

"Hey, look back you idiots!", Levy screamed and they turned around immediately. Seeing her, a resident of the town who knew everyone hear was dangerous for them.

"Just go back to your store and leave as alone you brat!
You can see we have business to do!". They turned back again, while they woman screamed for her help. What were her possibilities? What could she do? These two were giants compared to her, she could never take them down. She had to ignore everything she has learned from her brother years ago.

"Solid Script: Hole!"

The men disappeared in the hole that appeared under their feet. And suddenly, everything went calm. Levy looked up to the helpless woman, just to see her standing in shock, now afraid of her, not of the trapped men anymore. The time has been running by and when she turned around, she met the shocked faces of people she had known for almost ten years. Their trust she had earned in these years wasn't there anymore, destroyed, because she had helped someone. She knew no one would believe her ... she could see the fears and anger in her eyes.
