Iden moved through the bars of the gates, just small enough to squeeze through. It would be a while before he noticed that she was gone, and she wanted to be well away from his dungeons by the time he came to check on her. Scurrying down the halls she vanished into the shadows under the torch lights.

Iden dashed through the streets, the barons men closing in behind her as she ducked between people, under carts and dashed through dirt roads and back allies. She didn't know this place, she didn't know where to hide! the men behind her knew the lay out of this little town better then she did and they were gaining fast upon her heels. Tears gathered at the edges of her eyes as she frantically looked for a place to hide, a way to get away. Burred eyes and muddy paths. Iden turned a corner sharply running fast first into something or rather someone. She stumbled back into a couple of crates collapsing into her back and thumping her head against the stone wall behind her.
