Sylvia was terrified. She tried to see the persons face. She didn't recognise the person. She could tell it was a man and that he was slightly overweight. If she was quick then she might be able to run. She tried to run. Sylvia started by hitting the man in the face, followed by a kick then finally running to the door. The man was hurt by the hit by didn't stagger as much as Sylvia wanted, therefore  the man was able to prepare for the kick. Then Sylvia ran although the stranger saw this movement and grabbed at her legs. Sylvia let out a cry.
"HELP!"
"You bitch! Shut up."
The man forced his hand on her mouth to silence her but then the door opened. Dragoness appeared. She heaved the man off of Sylvia and dragged him out of the inn. For some reason there was no other people in the inn. Dragoness returned.
"Are you ok?"
"Im fine but who was that?"
"Don't worry. He won't bother you again."
"But who was he?"
"Not sure. You're safe now so don't worry. We have to leave. Most of the village is gone already."
"Gone? Gone where?"
"There have been assassins hidden in this village. We need to leave if we wish to live."
Dragoness left the inn. Sylvia followed. It seemed she would not learn who the assassins were or why the stranger was in her room. They had barely been walking two minutes before Sylvia was asking questions.
"How long until we reach the mountain?"
"Well thanks to your sleeping break, we would have to walk another 2 hours."
"Why do we need to get to this mountain?"
"You wanted a better life didn't you?"
"Yes but I don't understand why we need to get to this place."
"We need to get to this place because there is someone there who can help you."
"Who?"
"He should be the one to tell you. My job is just to get you there."
They continued on in silence. After they had walked for half an hour they saw an arrow hit a tree nearby. Dragoness immediately scanned the countryside for any sign of movement. Sylvia investigated the arrow. It had a note attached. The note said "I know you left and I will hunt you down
