The bandits eyes only stayed vaccant and curious about the mysterious one eyed gun slinger for only a second before shifting and narrowing into glares 

"what the hell you think your doin hea" The man with the bandanna said taking a step away from Celeste and towards the man

He smirked casually gesturing with his gun to the door "sign said  open to all..i  guess that includes scum like you"

"why dont you just turn around and waltz out of here...this doesnt concern you"

Celeste still lying on the floor her hands propping her up stared at  the unfolding scene

the man chuckled darkly inspecting his gun before bringing it  back to point at the bandit "sorry..but i dont dance"

"you get out of here" he said nodding his head towards the door to Celeste even though his eyes stayed locked on the bandits

she quickly stood to her feet but heading towards the door the bandit yanked her towards him pinning her back against him as he wavered the knife on her neck "leave or i slice!"

The mans eyes kept there cool composure "are you doubting my aim...not wise"

"HEY ED..the hells going on in here" A blonde haired boy asked barging in his  bluish green eyes framing in on Celeste as he noticed the tension  in the room "whose the broad?" he asked in a hushed manner as  if whispering

the gun weilder sighed, face palming with his free hand 

"Russell...dont you have some sheets to be folding"

"im not your maid!...besides looks like your having a little bit to much fun here" the blonde said his hands settling on the handles of his swords 

the gun wielder rolled his eyes before returning to the now someone confused staring Bandits 

"release her before your blood paints the walls" 

The  bandit still holding his knife to Celeste throat chuckled "i dont think you get it" he said before hollering a loud "hey vultures!" at the exact moment a group of men filed into the bar with devious toothless smiles "your out numbered"

"maybe so...but ill be less one starting...now" he said his one eye coldly darting from the new group of men back to the bandit holding  Celeste hostage in a second the gun went off shooting him, sending the knife falling to the ground 

"you go now!!!" He ordered Celeste

She nodded grabbing the knife from the floor swiftly as she sprinted to the back door 

"dont let her get away POTV!!" the bandit demanded from his spot now laying on the floor coughing as blood pooled from his lips

running out the door her feet moved fast the knife gripped firmly  in her hands

"stop right there!" she could hear the sounds of angry men yelling for her to halt but continued forward 

She dashed through lines of people patiently waiting on the sidewalks outside stores 

men and women getting ready to purchase glorious gowns and suits for the festival sending glares Celestes way as she pushed passed them hoping  to lose the enraged men in the crowd

She made it all the way to the docks before the burning in her chest and the wobble in her legs now throbbing in tired pain begged  her to stop and  she found herself panting behind a wall of crates 

she peeked  around the crates sighing in relief as it appeared shed lost the men

She leaned against he crates for only a second  before a hand clamped over her mouth "thought you could run huh?" A man asked "potv doesnt have a right to do that" he growled "now heres whats gonna hap.." before he could finish his sentence Celeste swung her knife down stabbing into his leg he screeched flailing back releasing his grip on her and giving her the oppurtunity to spin around thrashing the knife through th eair once more but this time landing in his chest

the man gasped faultering for breaths before falling tohis knees and then to the floor 

"hey what was that?"

"i think it came from over here"

Her eyes widened as she realized what shed done and from the sound of it she wasnt the only one

her eyes darted around for a place to hide and paused resting on a barrel

without thinking she pulled the lid off before forcing herself into the cramp space

Listening as people gasped in horror at the sight of the bleeding out man 

She worried as the crowd grew that suspicious they might open the barrel but her worries soon subsided as the barrel tipped over causing her to hit her head hard  against the wood 

the barrel began rolling and she desperatley shouted for it to stop but no on seemed to hear and so no one noticed as the pain throbbing in her head caused her to blank out turning everything dark
