Snippet #1673116

Abegail was travel weary and in a foul mood when the guide tried to get such a large sum of money from them. Her walk to the train station was done in silence and her bad mood leant itself to her being incredibly quiet. Her dreams still bothered her a great deal and the thought of traveling more and sleeping did not give her a great deal of joy.

The crowded train station put Abegail on edge. "So glad we have our tickets, this is craziness." Abegail thought as she looked around at the families milling about. A time when she left home and her family gathered to send her off, wishing her well and her mother crying flashed into her mind. Abegail missed them. "If I get out of this I am going home to visit them for a bit." Abegail silently promised. Making idle chat with the guide about getting some suitable clothing for her upon their arrival, Abegail didn't notice the change in the crowd around them right away.

The guide lashed out at a man in black. Abegail's nightmare flashed in her mind. "Bloody hell! Walter!" Abegail took three steps backwards as the guide engaged the elder of the two men. Abegail looked around her. Too many people to run, no idea how many others lurked in the crowd waiting to grab them and too close to get a good swing at them with her bag. Abegail backed up more. She could not see Walter. The people around her were milling in the confusion and Abegail found herself lost amid them. A mild panic set in. "Walter where are you?" Abegail looked around frantically in the chaos.

Abegail saw an arm, clad in black and her stomach dropped. Thankfully it was just an man in the suit. He gave Abegail an annoyed looked as he was saying farewell to a family member. Abegail kept looking for Walter, for the guide...for anyone who could help her.
