"Seek," they commanded, dropping the leashes. The night-stalkers shot forward and I turned on my heel and fled, cloak whipping out behind me. I dodged around the startled tapkeeper and sprinted for the back door. The howls screamed after me as I flung open the door and sprinted blindly into a solid chest.
I fell back into a fighting stance, dagger appearing in my hands. "Move," I snarled.
He crossed his arms and smirked. "You're head is worth a lot, girl."
I twisted around him, but his hand reached out a hand and snagged my cloak. I growled and snaked an arm around his neck, vaulting over his shoulders. He gagged and stumbled off-balance, right onto my dagger, the blade slipping between his ribs.
I held him upright in a lover's embrace as his eyes clouded. He slumped to the ground.
"Who are you?" he choked out, a bright smear of blood bubbling past his lips.
I bowed low with a wicked grin.
"The name's Robyn. Robyn Hood."
