Gabriel watched as Cat left, she kind of confused him. He wondered why she couldn’t give the bag to Wolf herself. Did she trust him enough to believe he wouldn’t run off with it. Gabriel then turned to Shea and said “ we should get some rest, it’s getting late.” Gabriel didn’t want to talk with Shea about his plans because he was still trying to figure out what he needed to do. He had hoped Marcus would have some kind of idea, but the big knight hadn’t shown himself since they arrived in Kolera. Gabriel smiled at Shea and then walked off toward the meeting hall to find Wolf. As he approached the door, he heard someone clear their throat, the sound came from above him, he looked up wondering who it could be. Wolf than spoke and said “ shouldn’t you be at the inn getting some sleep.” Gabriel chuckled and then tossed the pouch into the air. Wolf caught it and then Gabriel said to him “Cat told me to give that to you for some reason.” Gabriel walked away toward the inn.

Wolf smiled and placed the pouch beside him, he then laid back and stared up at the sky. He wondered if the bandits would return, if they did they would have a larger group. The thought of the bandits also made him wonder if the bandits could have attacked the merchants for another reason other than money. Wolf yawned and stretched his hand toward the stars. He often liked looking at the stars they calmed him especially after a rain shower. The dark clouds that were above the forest were starting to fade and the rain slowly stopped. Wolf started to sniff the air, the smell of blood was all around him. It was from the bandits, he didn’t like the smell of blood. It always brought back old memories for him. Wolf laid on the roof thinking about his past jobs, letting the thoughts of the bandits fade from his mind.

Alice sat with Helena, Helena smiled at Alice and said to her “so are you doing ok?” Alice nodded. She then looked up toward the second floor at the doors, Helena said to her “if you want you can go up there and get some sleep. I’m sure today has been tough for you.” Alice smiled slightly, trying to appear happy, she got out of her seat and walked up the stairs. She went to the third door and opened it. It was a small hallway with a three doors on each side. Alice walked to the end of the hall and opened the door. It was a bedroom, the bedroom was empty and somewhat small. Alice sat on the bed and then laid her head on the pillow almost immediately. She began to cry into the pillow, the tears soaked the pillow, she tried to catch her breath as she cried. Alice had lost her only family, she was alone in the world with no place to go. She did like how the members of Fang were treating her, but she felt she would only be a burden on them if she stayed.

Helena watched the door to the kitchen open and Flora and Asher walked out, they were both carrying bowls filled with some type of soup. Helena watched as they stared happily at each other. Flora then looked at Helena and she got nervous as if she was doing something wrong and was close to being found out. Helena smiled and said to them both “why don’t you two just admit that you like each other, trying to hide it doesn’t seem to be working well for you.” Flora stared at Helena and said “we are just friends, that’s it.” Helena got up and said sarcastically “ ok, I believe you.” Helena walked to the stairs and then walked up them. She looked back and said “ you two enjoy your date, I’m going to sleep.” Helena walked to the first door and opened it. Asher looked up at the door and then said “ that was close, she almost found out.” the door than suddenly opened and Helena yelled out “ I knew it! Now I can sleep well tonight knowing the truth.” Flora shook her head toward Asher and then sat down at the table.
