too.โ€

โ€œI know it is still a while until dinnertime, but how about we walk the market together? We can decide on where and what to eat as we go.โ€

โ€œIโ€™d like that.โ€ Thessa said. She was glad to have company in such a dangerous place, and Gaelyn didnโ€™t seem like a danger to her in any way. Besides, if he tried anything, he would surely be surprised to find she could defend herself in ways he would immediately regret. They strolled down the market, stopping at shop and booth trying on scarves and whatnots. She was having a grand time. No one had ever paid attention to her like this before. About an hour into the walk, several men began to run from their booths. She heard someone from one of the booths tell his son to mind the shop. He had to run to the cat booth because Jerron was being attacked and maimed by a vicious black and white cat.

Gaelyn looked with surprise at Thessa, โ€œYou donโ€™t think?โ€

โ€œNo, Iโ€™m sure itโ€™s not my cat.โ€

โ€œWe had better check for sure. Maybe he got a hold of her.โ€

โ€œAll right, but Iโ€™m telling you it wasnโ€™t her.โ€

They hurriedly returned to the cat booth. It didnโ€™t take long to reach it since they were not stopping at each booth along the way. When they got to the booth, the cats were no longer hanging from the ceiling and eve and the man, Jerron, was hunched over the counter with his face in ruins and his cloths all covered in his own blood. Thessa knew immediately that Sarren had indeed killed the man. Whether he had hunted her down or she had returned just to do the job was unclear. She knew she could not let this stand, so she went to the man.

โ€œIs he dead?โ€ A woman standing by asked.

โ€œAs dead as can be.โ€ Said one of the men.

Thessa went to him and held his hand, โ€œI donโ€™t think heโ€™s dead.โ€ She said. โ€œHere, help me get him on this table inside the booth. Someone get some water and cloth and clean his wounds.โ€

โ€œIโ€™ll be right back.โ€ Said the woman as she ran to the nearby water well after stopping at her booth for some strips of cloth.

Thessa knew the man was dead, but she pretended he was breathing. โ€œSee his chest moves.โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t see it.โ€ The nosey man said, craning his head to get a better look.

โ€œWell, he is breathing. I can see his chest move.โ€

โ€œShe speaks the truth.โ€ Gaelyn said.

Thessa though it was kind of him to back her up, even though she knew he couldnโ€™t see the chest movement either.

The woman returned with the water and cloth and began cleaning Jerronโ€™s face. Thessa concentrated and tried her best not to show what she was doing as she healed the deep cuts on the manโ€™s face. He would be scarred, but at least he would not start hemorrhaging when she raised him. She placed her hand on his chest and let her energy flow into him. โ€œSee, he lives.โ€

The man suddenly sat upright, โ€œWhere is that damned cat?โ€ Was his first words.

โ€œSssh, itโ€™s gone now. Lie back down. You are still hurt.โ€ Thessa said, making him lie back on the table.

โ€œI guess you were right, miss. I though for sure her was a goner.โ€ The nosey man said.

โ€œNo flipping cat will do me in, friend!โ€ Jerron yelled out to him.

โ€œYou will be fine, now.โ€ Thessa said. She returned to Gaelyn, who was still in front of the booth. โ€œI am covered in blood. I need to go back to my inn room and wash up.โ€

โ€œThat was amazing. Are you a healer?โ€ Gaelyn asked.

โ€œNo, but I used to her a nanny with three children. I learned a few things from her.โ€

โ€œLet us get you to you inn. I want to take out the hero of the market.โ€ Gaelyn said.

Thessa looked around and all the people were smiling at her and nodding at her with their appreciation and approval. โ€œI can manage. Why donโ€™t I meet you somewhere in sayโ€ฆ about an hour?โ€

โ€œAll right. Why donโ€™t you just meet me here in the market?โ€ He pointed to a booth selling flowers. โ€œAt the flower booth there.โ€

โ€œI will see you in an hour at the flower cart then.โ€ Thessa said. She hurriedly moved away from him.

โ€œI will wait for you!โ€ Gaelyn called after her.

Chapter 11: Before Dawn

Jas poured the ale and slammed it down on the counter, causing some of it to spill out on his patron. โ€œOy, Jas, you big oaf, careful with me ale!โ€

โ€œDrink it up, Cedric, before I call in that tab of yours.โ€ Jas threatened.

The big man behind the counter went to pour another mug of ale when the door to the tavern suddenly burst open. Snowy wind blew in and two men sitting close to the opening rushed to close the door behind the man who stumbled in. He looked at the bartender and let down his hand from the wound on his neck and it began gushing blood.

โ€œHeโ€™s killed us all! Lock the door. He is coming! Lock the door!โ€ The man collapsed onto the tavern floor.

Jas came from behind the counter with a bottle of hard liquor. He pushed two tables together. โ€œHere men, get him up here.โ€ They lifted the man onto the tables. โ€œWhere is Jon the barber?โ€

โ€œHere!โ€ Jon responded from somewhere in back of the tavern. He rushed up to to the wounded man.

โ€œHereโ€™s some hard mash. What else do you need to help this poor fellow?โ€

โ€œBandages.โ€ The barber replied.

The injured man stirred and grabbed the barber by his shirt, โ€œYou donโ€™t understand. Heโ€™s coming!โ€

โ€œWhoโ€™s coming, friend?โ€ Jas asked.

The door creaked open, letting more snowy wind blow in. A shadowy figure entered the common room of the inn. The men once again rushed to close the door.

โ€œNo! Heโ€™s here. Run!โ€

The light of the lantern near the door still swung back and forth from the wind blowing inside, illuminating the face of the man
